Chicago area, Midwest face 'nasty' weather, tornadoes - CNN.com Y'all be careful, this is pretty scary!

At this point, it's too late to backpedal - you got busted. And if you believe that 'dead men tell no tales', you might want to learn something about forensics, lol. ;)

Some people just have to learn the hard way. If they survive. If they don't, it doesn't appear that we'd be losing anything of value.

Ooohh, I see. Well, common sense in my vocabulary knows that there might be more to the story than was provided in the one article, if one cared to look. I did, [the link in the article] and there is a wee bit more info that was left out: her son came home crying because he was disciplined for...

Nothing like congratulating students for being ignorant of the rules, and for breaking them. What a great addition that makes to their 'education'. :(

Whether the rule is right or wrong, the students were disciplined for breaking the rule, not for self defense. If they couldn't live with the rule [as many of us could not], they should have lived in a place not owned by the university, and therefore, not subject to the university rule about...

Any people who can tame alligators and know gris gris [voodoo] are people I'd be very careful to avoid offending - just saying.;) Ever see a shrunken head?

'Stupid woman', 'phoney excuse'. Because you just know these things, huh? :rolleyes: Stupid is sending your kids to a public school and expecting them to be taught any religion, because that's not the job of a public school. There are no shortage of religious schools, if it is important to...

San Francisco turns into Gotham City for Batkid - NY Daily News It made me feel happy, too. :D

Yes, there is always failure, and scammers, and slackers. But the current vogue of putting most unemployed people into one of those categories is worrisome. IMO, they aren't, and if they continue to struggle to maintain a basic standard of living, it's going to get ugly. Or actually, uglier...

You got a contract, right? [If not, you need one.] Read it, and know every bit of it, because it matters. Also, learn the rules at your carrier, like when you will be 'dinged' for turning down a load, when you may be put 'out of service', etc, because that matters, too. Talk to as many drivers...

Happy birthday, and I'm glad to hear it was a good day. We miss you! :)

Van Damme is good, but the ballerina was gutsier! And they never credit the drivers enough for their skill - even the hamster got more praise, lol.

7 bucks for a card?! Only way I'd pay that is for a "Happy Stay Home In Your Pajamas Day" card, lol. :o

The skill set hasn't changed - the economy has changed. We are becoming a retail/service economy, which offers very low wages, compared to the industrial economy we were used to being - which paid decent wages. [The last big change in the economy was agrarian to manufacturing, in which people...

'Job creators' want low taxes [after being given incentives & subsidies] and cheap labor. When their demands are met, governments are left without enough revenue to provide and maintain the infrastructure and services that are essential, and the workers can't afford to maintain even a bare...

Wasn't 'verification' the one condition that Republicans managed to get attached to the ACA with their shutdown tactics? Dave: would appreciate a link to that local film, please. If I ever sign up, I might need some good advice on getting the best plan for less money, lol. ;)

For the employees, it goes with the territory. Doctors, nurses, police, firefighters, and lots of others have learned to cope with the need to be at work, seeing it as a chance to be creative with 'tradition'. It can even be a good thing! For the shoppers: anything that can reduce the insanity...
