    Nuts!

    They do what I did, my dad did, his parents did. They get off their lazy butts and MOVE to where they CAN find work! They don't accept that it is Mickey D's or welfare. I DID have to make that decision. I made it. It was HARD to make it. I got laid off, in Detroit, the same exact day we...

    Global Warming

    Draw out this timeline and get back to me. 6 billion years, 1 inch equals 50 years. NOW IF the math is right, and it may well be not, the timeline would be 1920 MILES long! One inch of that timeline is what some are saying is overriding EVERY cycle that took place across the other 1920 miles...

    Nuts!

    McDonald's today pays better than the minimum wage. When I worked there we were paid minimum. No tattoos, no felons, we had to wear a uniform and WORK every minute we were on the clock. We also took pride in ourselves. We were high school kids, just starting off in life and would have NEVER...

    Wings win again!

    Soccer is EASY to understand. It is hockey, played on grass, by wimps, who cry when they get bumped on the RIGHT shoulder, fall to the ground, on their back with the LEFT leg up in the air, while grabbing their shin. THEN A weird little dude in funny shorts and knee socks run over to the wimp...

    Global Warming

    Nope, he is just the big mouth fake here. There are other fakes fiddling the readings and faking others all over the place. We be outta here! Going to burn some diesel and move up near our Monday pick up. MAYBE I can burn enough to get spring started! :eek:

    Wings win again!

    SOCCER? Is that the sport where some wimp gets bumped, falls on the ground crying, holding his shin and some nut in weird shorts runs up an waves a yellow card at him? :p In hockey, a guy gets hit in the head with a frozen piece of rubber traveling at 100+ MPH, gets cut wide open, they stick...

    Wings win again!

    It likely would be, but not as exciting as this one. The Wings cannot match up to the Hawks this year. They are also pretty beat up after this series. Next season, baring large numbers of injuries, the Hawks/Wings should be VERY interesting! No matter what happens Sunday, this was a GREAT...

    Global Warming

    The fact is that it HAS been seen before, as have FAR LOWER levels. It waxes and wains as everything in nature does. 50 years ain't squat in "G" time. I cannot even imagine how long the time line would be that would show 50 years as an inch. Use 6 BILLION as the line max and let me know how long...

    Global Warming

    400PPM is still lower than that last warming period. It is a CYCLE. IF you could go back 100 million years or so, which is about how long our global map has looked much like it does today, you would see many such cycles. "G" time is the key. Not ALGORE'S rants and leftist junk science. Guess...

    Nuts!

    Government has NO business in business, that includes requiring that an employer pay a certain wage, whether it is worth it or not. Another wonderful leftist idea. It is designed to hold people back, it does, it's working. There should be no minimum, or maximum, wage.

    Nuts!

    I would love to know what their margins are. I bet it is a LOT higher than most would guess at. They also earned their success. They took the risk, put out the invested their money, put in the long hours. They CHOOSE not to stay in the "flipper" position. I don't know what they could pay, how...

    IRS targets certain groups

    This is exactly why we have to get rid of the income tax, completely and gut the IRS of their power. Why should an ARMED AGENCY of the government even be able to do this at a "low level", if you are fool enough to fall for that line? Lest you forget, they are EXPANDING that ARMED IRS to run...

    Nuts!

    Do you know what their margins are? How much is costs them to put that meal on the counter when you order? Whether the meal is healthy or not is not relevant ot that. Keep in mind that it would not be JUST $15 per hour, per employee. Employers pay SS tax on those people. As Xggi stated in an...

    May location and other nonsense

    They drive on the left in Japan too. Spent 18 months there. The weather was better there. They had 4 seasons. Short spring and summer, fall was sorta there and winter was cold an LOTS of snow! Summer was nice, not TOO hot, kinda cool at night. Seldom had trouble sleeping, no A/C in the barracks...

    Wings win again!

    The Detroit Red Wings won again, in overtime for the 4th time in the series, send it back to California for a game seven. Not bad for a busted up team with a line with 3 rookie starters on it! The big "Z" had two goals tonight including the game winner. One of the best series I can remember in...

    Nuts!

    I got it. I enlisted at 19, was about a week away from getting drafted. Made a 20 year career out of that move. It also led me into firefighting and EMT work, a life of adventures, one right after the other. As to "financial decisions", not my strong suite!! :p BUT, unless my memory fails I have...

    Too many miles

    Did they ask for money to help get them back home for the funeral?

    May location and other nonsense

    Yeah, but our weather is better than in Manchester, England! Been there, done that. A nice warm day in N. Yorkshire, I remember snow on July 4th! Did go to a match in Leeds, saw United play. Don't remember who or who won. It was interesting, no riots that night. When I went to that game it was...

    Too many miles

    I guess it takes all kinds. I don't understand. Maybe they just want to be paid tourists? Over my head.

    Global Warming

    Who does ALGORE have to blame on this? It has happened before, it will happen again. The article describes a WARM arctic, not all that long ago in "G" time. Even with C02 levels that were only slightly higher than what we have now. Cycle warm, cycle cold, etc etc etc. Ice Cores Reveal Green...
