  1. Well... that's just plain SILLY. Or should I say, sufferin' succotash!
  2. That's no fix. You inserted OTHER topic, but did nothing about the original POLITICAL subject. Besides being inherently ridiculous, your "fix" would fit better in the "just plain silly" forum. Or perhaps that's WHY it would THEN fit better in the silly forum. Why has no moderator done anything about this, I wonder?
  3. I'm not sure why, but regular season (single game) tickets for Dbacks games won't be available for purchase until March 1rst.
  4. May not be just you, but I sure didn't think in those terms.
  5. Boy oh boy if THAT isn't the understatement of the day! Hey, I wanted the Pats to win, but it was a VERY good game... and the gints earned the win. And I had the BEST seat in the stadium, right in my living room... for LESS than the price of a ticket to the game, I've been enjoying (since June 2005) my 50" HDTV. And a friend came over to share in the game and a meal and we both had a good time (even though both of us cheered for the Pats). My favorite commercials were the ones with the baby for E-Trade! That was the key as I saw it too. And 10 days... THAT is the consolation.

    Sociology Research

    Hi Lisa, I noticed you posted your note here in a forum labeled "By State." By doing so, do you mean to solicit replies from people in a particular state? Your research sounds interesting. I hope you get to interview lots of folks.
  7. Happy 55, young man! Someday, you'll reach the half way point! Many, many more to follow!
  8. What does this thread/topic have to do with TWI?
  9. I think it'll be Jordan Sparks. Her dad played football for my alma mater (ASU Sun Devils).
  10. I always check dates regardless of which store I go to. I had not been aware, however, of their "propensity for buying seconds or damaged goods." Where can I get this information verified? I DO know that they have stopped, only very recently, purchasing from China. I had bought some frozen seafood from them that they had obtained from China. I REALLY like their chicken egg rolls, maple syrup, and New England Sea Scallops. Not all together, mind you, but those products I like.
  11. I think she is and IS a member both here and at the WayCorps.ning.com site... and since these previous posts were from June of last year, may already have been in touch with Son of the Master.
  12. Do you work at Whole Foods? There are several of their markets in the Phoenix metro area (where I live). There are also Trader Joe's; Sunflower Farmer's Markets; and Sprouts Farmer's Markets. I do go to Whole Foods, but they are generally more expensive than ANY other store for groceries. But they have SOME bargains/good prices. Trader Joe's doesn't do bulk items (at least not here) but usually have good things, many of which are organic, for generally pretty good prices. Sprouts and Sunflower do a good job with fresh produce most of the time and I get bulk oatmeal from either one, depending on where I happen to be that day (if I'm driving by or near one of them anyway). Since I spend $60-$75 dollars/month on fuel but seem to get fewer miles out of it every year and sometimes every month. Of course, one can often see footage taken in a Whole Foods store on Food Network shows... probably some kind of promotional deal to get discounts on the food they use in the shows. They have an incredible range of products, including some awesome looking fresh seafood... but there's no way I could afford most of what they sell.
  13. Did you try to call the Red Sox ticket office today to find out what will happen?
  14. Dbacks Jun 23, 24, 25!!!!!! Need anyone to go with you? :blink: Looks like Dbacks not going to Arlington this year... only AL stadiums they'll visit are for games at the BoSox and Twins. Got A's and Royals in the Downtown Phoenix airplane hanger known as Chase Field.

    Absolutely! It's almost too easy to get great pictures from just about anywhere in Sedona. I don't know which libm coord said that, but, of course, Sedona's a big "New Age" cultural magnet... something to do with vortexs (that's probably not the correct way to pluralize 'vortex').
  16. This movie was on HBO this evening. I watched it. It was pretty good. This site discusses the movie and the actual events Anyone else seen this movie?
  17. I don't remember EVER talking to someone who had seen Ruth play! I hope the Doc was focused on your health as long as he should have... I can talk about having seen guys play in AAA in the 1960s... one time I sprained my ankle at the Seneca Park Zoo in Rochester NY and my dad took me to the emergency room... Tom Seaver was there having pitched, if I recall correctly, Jacksonville (FL) against the Rochester Red Wings that day. It would have been early 1960s, maybe 1963 or 64. I remember being maybe 9 or 10... I got his autograph... didn't file it well, don't have it now. I saw lots of the 1960s Orioles play for Rochester before they went to the show... and Earl Weaver won a championship for the Red Wings before taking over the Orioles. But talking to a guy that saw Ruth play... you musta been on .

    I don't know about former wayfers being in Sedona, but there LOTS of people in Sedona. The main streets are pretty much every day like a big city rush hour... overrun by tourists.
  19. I just checked a sampling of MLB team sites... Dbacks and RedSox pitchers and catchers report same day. Cubs report two days earlier.
  20. Heck for the price of one of those nosebleed seats, you can get a b1tchin' 60" HDTV... which, from the comfort of your living room, family room or home theater room will be a MUCH better seat anyway. AND you get to see the best entertainment of the year.... Super Bowl commercials! My living room's too small for a 60"... but I DO have a 50" HDTV and it works just fine.
  21. The stadium is climate controlled... the U of P Stadium (in Glendale, AZ), that is.
  22. Well... the gints scored first... 3-0 and it LOOOKS very COLD! :blink:
  23. How many days until pitchers and catchers report? Never mind... Dbacks now have it up on their website... 27 days, 15 hrs, 18 minutes.
  24. Oooo... 20/20 comes on in about 5 minutes here.
  25. He certainly has plenty of bucks!
