You know, a co-worker used to ask me the same thing over & over, much to his annoyance. So here's the answer - I cared (past tense!) because they had a habit of "blaming" employee's for things that went wrong. (Often resulting in getting rid of employees so the owners could look like they were...

Personally, I don't want cremation. The idea of somebody sticking me in a oven and cooking me after I'm dead, makes me uncomfortable. And Perhaps I'm being anachronistic in believing the a proper burial or crypt is nice way of leaving something tangible of me left behind. I know I'm considered...

Outpost - Not bad. Considering it's about a group of military mercs who stumble onto a secret Nazi base with experimental super soldiers who became undead.

Interesting how this thread became one about shoes... :io:

The owners were too cheap for any doing any *real* security. This was a company where the owners often discussed "plausible deniability". Which is another reason we didn't get along.

Sounds like somebody can't tell if a cat is dead. :roll:

I think, Evolutionarily, there had to be some point where deafness was an advantage. I mean it just can't because of the noisy republicans... :)

:hmm: I once said, "hearing is the universal ignorance". And when I explain that I'm HoH I get a few people saying, "you speak really well for a deaf person." bit too. But, once in a great while - when I'm really cheesed off I'd reply, "well, I suppose that's to be expected since I've also...

^^^ That's a good idea. Slower, but likely more comfortable!

Yesterday I went to a 8:30 am appt with my sleep doc, and she set me up with a APAP & mask. Not sure this will work either, but trying it as instructed. :roll: Then went to Walmart in one town looking for Wifeys specific Vits, but didn't find them was told to go to another walmart, went to...

Alright, Let me ask you this then, are the gifts you gave to others this Christmas still yours? Because the money you gave the government is pretty much the same, the difference is that you have some say (by voting) on where it goes as it's dispersed to others, unlike merely giving it to the...

We VOTE on what we want the government to do. It's kind of like shareholder in corporations. The problem is, sometimes the majority can overrule a minority during voting. That's where compromises are supposed to be useful, but often are not used. Plus, if that majority doesn't act through...

My brother used to do similar stuff to me like that. One day he went too far while he was babysitting me. First, after teasing me mercilessly for most of the evening, I then told him I wanted to go over to my friends (b/c I didn't want to sit there and take his BS), and out of spite, he forbade...

Did you forget Enron the smartest men in the room?

The thing a lot of people tend to forget, is once the money that is taxed is taken from their paycheck, that money is no longer theirs. So Saying it's your money going to pay off someone else. It's not yours anymore. It's the governments property. The government jobs is kind of like a parent...

Being a sysadmin, and always checking out how things could be exploited by the bad guys, I used to drive the owners of the company nuts when I showed them stuff like how you could use certain RFID cards to open their "SECURITY" doors from a short distance away. A key reason why I wasn't a big...

Sounds like she's trying to breakup (and being a little lousy at it) but is attempting to leave the door open for later. (Shrugs) Best advise is to adopt a wait and see approach but you better get on with your life since she's got other priorities at the moment.

^^^ He's quite right!

So what's the going rate for "gently used" prayers, and the "well used and practically worn out" prayers? :lol:

Basically what I was inquiring was the line of thinking of, if the allergic student is "deathly allergic" to the dog, you can assume there's a chance they'll cross paths either in class, hallways and any of the many other common areas in the school. So I was airing my thinking things through...
