  1. Remember the words spoken in the musical "My fair Lady" before the song "I'm getting married in the morning"? Was it something like, 'A few more hours is all the time I've got, a few more hours till they tie the knot'. :rolleyes::biglaugh:

  2. On a lark, I clicked on the "Overall Top 20 Posters." I was a bit surprised to find myself there, hanging in at #20. I feel a little like Ken Griffey, Jr., moving up on the 5000-post (in his case, 600 HR) mark, feeling that I might pass mike and Steve! reasonably soon, but not likely ever to catch Hank excathedra Aaron.

    More to the point, what do the "rating" stars mean? I imagine that having five stars is good, but then why do others like dmiller and Sudo have none?

    George

    Another possible title for this thread could be: "you know you spend waaaay to much time here when..."

    Just kidding :biglaugh:

  3. I have been playing racquetball for about 17 years and have been playing in competitive tournaments for many years. For the past 3 years I have been one of ProKennex's sponsored players. My avitar is the logo for the United States Amature Racquetball Association. http://www.usaracquetball.com/

  4. For cookware I have Cusinart cookware (non-stick, dishwasher safe) and Henkele twin 4 star knives. I have been called a "cookware snob" by a few friends.

    As a public service notice:

    Do not put non-stick cookware in the dishwasher unless it specifically states it is dishwasher safe in the instructions. (dishwasher safe non-stick is more expensive. Most "big box" retailers do not carry this product.)

    Here is one on the web sites I go to to purchase cooking "stuff": http://www.chefscatalog.com

  5. Aside from the typical mowing lawns and shovelling show...

    I was about 10 when I went "door to door" selling air freshners...

    In 1976 I was 15 and got my first "real" job, and according to my social security statement I made $47.00 :biglaugh:

    In 1977 I was working at a bakery as a dishwasher/janitor. I worked at that job till I graduated from high school in 79 (about 15 hours a week).

    Hmmmm.... I just told everybody how old I am... :redface2:

    When I review my social security statement, I notice a drop in my earnings. The drop was due to me going out wow :realmad::doh:

  6. Outcome A - The Human.

    Based on the descriptions you chose, you are practical, reliable, friendly, and fit in with people quite nicely. You probably have a regular family and do well in acedemia.

    :rolleyes:

  7. One more thing about Southern Arizona, There are alot of Border Patrol agents that live and work here. Also, the group called the Minutemen, come down here and report sightings of illegals to the Border Patrol. :eusa_clap: This area is anti illegal immigrants to include the Mexican-Americans.

    Sierra Vista is the humming bird capital of the US. During the migration season, I have seen 20 humming birds in my back yard.

  8. I like living here in Southern Arizona. (I am about 200 miles south of where Rocky lives.)

    The air quality down here is very good!!! I live in what they call high desert about 4600 ft elevation.

    There are developments around here for adults and seniors. There is alot of retired military folks in this area. Many people flock down here during the winter months.

    The biggest employer in this area is the military installation and defense contrators.

    here are a couple links:

  9. I think that it boils down to is that the "reporters" on the news shows have stopped reporting the news. They editorilize the news. Reporters have stopped trying to get the news, they want to "get the story".

    CNN, Fox, NBC, CBS etc... are big business. They are after ratings and readership. Of course, what they are most interested in is advertising dollars. Some advertisers prefer some formats more than others. that is why we have "different flavors" of "the news".

    There are alot of people who turn to a certain news channel because of the bias of the news channel reflects and thereby justifies the viewers own bias.
