Is your avatar a picture of your dog? If so, I have a mutt that looks almost like yours. Except for spots. On her skin. Whoops. Meant this to be a PM. I am an idiot, have a lackl of command over phpBB, and need to be the butt of many jokes. No that's Voltron, my man. Or Beast King Golion, but I bel...

Ignorant people saying ignorant things, you say? That only describes my ENTIRE GODDAMN CHILDHOOD in rural georgia (may the true second coming - of Sherman, of course - burn it off the map). Everything from one of my math teachers in elementary school not understanding negative numbers to the girl w...

It's most effective within that period, but it can still shorten it's duration and severity at any time. I started it on my 5th day of infection and started to improve immediately. Hmm. I saw my doctor after three days ( I really hate going to the doctor, okay? ) and she said it would be kinda poin...

So I was teaching a karate class today and there were 16 kids in the class ages 6-8. One girl was coughing a lot- a very throaty wet cough. But this class isn't too active really; we didn't even do kicks today but she was coughing and coughing. At the end of class, the waiting room was full of pare...

Warning: Infodump. Those with tldritis please look away. All bolding mine.

For a moment I thought that you meant urine, not uranium.

What's wrong with a Vibe? It's a Toyota Corolla Matrix rebadged.

Except that it has a resale value below a Pontiac Aztec; and is nearly as ugly.

Doesn't mean shit anyways. Just sold my 04 Vibe for 5500, all you are missing are the old beat up piece of shits that got 12 mpg's, not necessarily all the 'cheap' cars. Oh, dear gods - You bought a Vibe? Are you blind??!! And you got $5,500 for it? Was the salesmanager blind? Or were blowjobs invo...

says Tom Webb, economist for Manheim Consulting, a branch of a major used car wholesale operation Manheim Auto Auctions are the Microsoft of wholesale auto auctions. If you are a car dealer - new or used - and you need used cars to sell, you have to deal with Manheim . From October of 2008 to, oh, ...

Shouldn't this be in the Library with this one: Will NBC be surprised? Here's your chance to let the media know where the people stand on our faith in God, as a nation. NBC is presently taking a poll on "In God We Trust" to stay on our American currency. Please send this to every Christian...

Now, if you're talking about the place where my parents moved before I hit one year old, and where I grew up, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA FUCK YOU COMMERCE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA they deserve an alien invasion.

Buttrape them, yelling, "Squeel! Squeel, piggie!"?

I know that's what I'd do.

Is he saying they don't bear it, or they don't know they bear it? I'd imagine most people wouldn't make the connection between "Shit, my premiums went up again," and "I guess I shouldn't have gotten MRI'd for a sprained ankle two years ago".

Bingo.

What I was getting at is that premium payers pay. Insurance organizations do pay, but they're middlemen that get their money from premium payers. If the systemic cost of health care goes up, insurance organizations pay more, so they charge more for insurance. Systemic costs are not not free for peo...

Where do you think insurance organizations get money? Om average, an employer-based insurance plan costs $12,000 per family. That's not really at issue, though. Unless your insurance is absolute shit (in which case you might as well say you're uninsured), the deductible/copay will be reasonable eno...

What mechanism is there to allow them to pass these costs on to consumers? Well, it really depends on who we mean by customer. You seem to be working on the assumption that the patient is the customer. For 47 million or so Americans, that is true. As for everybody else, they are not the consumer. T...

In many places in the South, the private swim club is a means by which people racists who cannot afford their own pool or join the country club can swim without catching the cooties in the municipal pool. There was one in Winder, in the neighborhood I grew up in, Pineshore Swim Club. Membership was ...

Actually, there is already a term for this idea, coined by Gregory Benford: Albedo Chic.

If I remember correctly, the LLV ( Long-Life-Vehicle ) DOES have a body built by Grumman, but the engine is a 80-90 HP 4-banger from Chevrolet, used in the S-10 and the various abortions labeled 'Cavalier'. I know from my crappy-scholarship, working through Uni RCA days that it, when fully loaded wi...

Teegeack Privately, after the ceremonies, Wolly Hooker gave me a history lesson on my Financial Rescue hat. "Back in 1967,", he explained, "Ron isolated those suppressive industrialists and financiers who, by their evil acts, were dramatizing a catastrophe that had occurred in this s...

Yeah, but what really gets me is that this whomever is implying through his statement I'll bet this is going to be a surprise to NBC. that NBC will be shocked and dismayed if the poll results show anything but the godlessness that the Media Establishment is trying to brainwash us into. I wonder that...

Sorry if I'm necroing this thread, but I thought that this might go here. Anyway.. So, I'm the IT manager for a automobile dealership group. Between nimrods on the sales force, and the occasional nimrod we get as customers, - as well as being short-staffed, sales being what they are - I frequently h...

If you really really want to see where the homosexual off topic shit started, read whackadoodle's post again. Cheap shot. Perfectly jake according to what I understand of SDN rules, but it is illustrative of character. However, attacking his lisp probably isn't enough; you should go after Barney Fr...

So now we have Barney Frank saying "Thethe bonutheth are deth picable and thould be reththinded," Charles Grassley says AIG officers should "do the honorable thing and kill themselves," and Chuckie Schumer is saying, flat out, "I hope they didn't spend their bonus payouts, ...

Have any of you ever been in a megachurch? These are not just regular churches scaled up. They're like huge gaudy, tasteless, classless (as in, they have no class) temples to Mammon. They always get the most expensive state-of-the-art sound equipment and robes worthy of a monarch for the choir and ...
