I know 2, and both were overweight, and taking birth control pills, [mistakenly assuming they are 100% effective], so being pregnant just didn't occur to them. Plus, not all babies are terribly active before birth, so it's really not so hard to imagine. A soldier, who is very fit, and very...

Trying to figure out why people do crazy things can make you crazy.

It probably is, but that's not what matters. What matters is what the law and the actual insurance policy say, and I'd want to know that, just to see if it matches what the company says. Believe it or not, there's times when it doesn't. :eek:

http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/loading-dock/55232-mrs-bean.html Maybe I should have given it a better title - but the update cracks me up, too. Can just picture the cranky old lady demanding royalties, lol, because who wanted to see it before she 'restored' it, right? ;)

It's deja vu all over again.

Your next package of Twinkies is on me - this is interesting stuff, lol. ;)

Paul: If the automatic feature can put the chains on, can't it tighten them too? Maybe Caffees will respond, as they have [or had] them.

Just so you don't blame me for the Great Chinchilla Disaster - some folks here haven't forgotten the chinchilla steering wheel covers they never got... Wait - "used to be"? Crap - now I'm gonna look like a liar for telling everyone about my friend the Zombie. And what about the Halloween...

The whole issue of 'weak vs strong' dollar is just a bit over my head [and it drives me nuts trying to make sense of it, lol] but what scares me is Romney's complete cluelessness to how working people struggle to pay the bills, much less get ahead. And his apparent belief that it's still the...

India, I have the ones that lock - maybe the truck is just 'bouncier', and I'm used to it. Or maybe it was Eureka Rd - that one bounced the turntable right out of the microwave! I forgot: I also like the plastic tabs that keep cords in place whether they're running along a baseboard or...

Of course it is - isn't that the next step after demonizing people who see things differently? :rolleyes: You ought to find time to read Foxfire - the first one is the best! [I had all 13, and after 6 or 7 they're not quite as good.]

If you don't know, who does?! PS I know where to get some reloading equipment & supplies - deal me in & I'll share.....;)

Except for the last sentence, is what I said: the government could 'pressure' [and I know they did], but what made the banks behave unethically was the profit motive - they knew the loans would be sold before the defaults began, and they took the profit and ran. Not agreeing that people bought...

Key words here: "lack of regulation in the private label securitization [market]". When you understand that, you'll know how it all went south. Not that Fannie & Freddie were innocent bystanders, but the potential for profit is what caused the bankers to abandon their fiduciary responsibility...

Ummmm - first it was 'REQUIRED' [shouted, even], but now it's 'pressure'? Little bit of a difference, what? Good for your bank if they resisted - I never said every one was/is guilty, just the "too big to fail" crowd, for the most part. BTW, have you seen the "pressure letter"?:confused:

I'm with Mark Twain: I wouldn't want to join any group that would want me as a member. :p Doesn't the Tea Party advocate less regulation? Because my attitude is that it's sadly necessary to regulate business, and the banks keep proving it.

Snipped from Wiki - it's long and complicated, but it explains how once again, the guilty have bought and paid for the smokescreen that the easily persuaded bought wholesale, and repeat as if it's certified fact. Do you really believe any banker would agree to government 'orders' [or even...

I'd get more use from the series of books called Foxfire. They illustrate how people did things before or without 'modern civilization' to provide the food, water, clothing, medical, etc. It's a wonderful read - begun as one book, by an Appalachian English teacher [Elliot Wigginton]who wanted to...

Applause for India, for getting involved! I strongly encourage all drivers to learn the basics of first aid, and keep supplies handy, cause life is full of surprises. Twice I have been first on the scene: one was an employee of a facility where I was waiting to get unloaded [he suffered an...

"The execs ran wild because the government didn't stop them"? We are talking about adults here, correct? EDUCATED [well and expensively, no less!] adults, who know the difference between right and wrong, but you would excuse their behavior because the government didn't force them to behave? We...
