    Life sure is getting silly....

    It isn't really a case of believing, but a case of having personally experienced, observed, and then knowing. I have been married to the same individual for over 30 years - the only person I have ever been married to - and I am quite well aware of what it takes to hold a marriage together - in...

    Life sure is getting silly....

    Really, my opinion has very little to do with it for you .... since it is only something that you can determine for yourself, according to your own understanding. My answer would be a question to you: Is your life less complete, less fulfilled as a consequence of having been married, and...

    Life sure is getting silly....

    Well, apparently according to your understanding, it isn't. :rolleyes: But then not everyone's understanding of Life is the same .... Only you have the ability to look for yourself, and then determine whether there is something more to know or understand beyond what you are already aware of...

    Life sure is getting silly....

    Both statements are not incorrect - meaning of course, that they are true - however both statements are incomplete by themselves, standing alone. It is certainly true that one is responsible for one's own happiness, however that doesn't necessarily mean that one cannot also attempt to be...

    Toyota recall

    Last night I delivered a load of "PEDAL ASSBLY ACCEL LHD" to TMMI - and every one of the plastic totes had special bright orange tags taped to them, indicating they were a newly revised QC'd part. They went directly into the plant, and not to the logistics warehouse where I've always delivered...

    Toyota, is it too much to ask to be like them?

    Last night I delivered a load of "PEDAL ASSBLY ACCEL LHD" to TMMI - and every one of the plastic totes had special bright orange tags taped to them, indicating they were a newly revised QC'd part. They went directly into the plant, and not to the logistics warehouse where I've always...

    "Don't ask, Don't smell."

    Actually it really isn't an observation - it's a characterization. You really have no idea what is motivating jaminjim's viewpoint in this regard - but you have choosen to use your preconcieved notions and prejudices to construct a view of him based on very, very little actual observation and...

    lap tops / texting/reading/ lack of sleep .. can be deadly

    Do indeed ..... but on the other hand my schooling included no shortage of scolding .... I'd say the scolding was probably of more benefit to me personally than much of the other crapola they were pushin' at the time ..... :D

    lap tops / texting/reading/ lack of sleep .. can be deadly

    You must not be reading much on here lately then ...... but I will agree: it was pretty silly.

    Dropped early last night in Alliston, came up to the Starbucks on the south side of Barrie this morning, hoping to score something out of this area .... and to enjoy the fine weather ..... 10 degrees F, blowing 25 and gusting to 35, at the moment :eek: Instead had one possibility out of...

    Too Funny!!

    Carefully and deliberately, if they were at all wise. Sometimes they even practiced. Undoubtedly true ..... Part of it comes from the insistence by the media and the pundits for perfection from those who clearly are imperfect. Part of it is also an intolerance of the deliberation it might...

    Life sure is getting silly....

    We used to make them clench (or the tails wiggle) by pulling on the tendons sticking out from above the ankle or the end of the tail ... would absolutely gross-out the girls :D The deal with the turtle was Mrs. Calhoun (my 8th grade home room teacher) would, if you were late on a paper, let...

    Too Funny!!

    Dennis, You (and anyone else who commented negatively on this) missed the relevant point completely: the speech was being filmed (video'ed actually) - observe the shotgun mic on a boompole in the upper right portion of the frame in the video here: Obama Uses Teleprompter In Elementary Class...

    Life sure is getting silly....

    What in the world are you talking about ? ... that a local school board - which is an elected body in many places - is being responsive to a parent, and is taking a closer look at what teachers and the educational establishment (which is not elected, and generally not all that accountable IMHO)...
