It's crazy. My nine yr old son loves the Star Wars Lego sets. He needs a job if he wants to get the Deathstar. :-) The thing that kills me is after we get one of these monstrosities together, it seems I spend most of my time putting it back together after he tries to play with it and pieces...

Along the same lines can anyone recommend some good protein bars? Some are so overloaded with sugar and others just taste bad and have the texture of caulk.

Soooo...did anyone workout today? lol!

Just want to say again, I am glad we can chat about this in a nice way. You all are very refreshing and enjoyable to talk with so I hope I am not coming off as nasty or anything. I'm having fun and hope you all are too. :-)

75% are happy with their current coverage. Who do you watch--Keith Olberman? MSNBC? I get my info from sources outside Fox and all the rest. Rest assured. :) I am not affiliated with either party and don't prescribe to any one sided news sources. Um, if we wanted Iraq's oil how come we never...

Thank you Dorothy. :) Yeah, Bush never said Iraq attacked us as far as I know. If you have something that shows him saying it, then I'd be interested.

Iraq was a haven for terrorist training camps. Also, Bush had 75% of the American people behind invading Iraq. How many Americans want this healthcare thing again? 25%? Just sayin...

Dorothy, I agree with almost everything you said. But, is it explicitly spelled out in the bill about abortions? If someone can cite a section of the bill, I would like to see it. At this point, I'm not sure. I am wondering why Obama put out the executive order concerning abortion if it was...

Bush ticked me off with his spending habits. The Repubs turned into Democrat-"lites" during that time with their spending. Now all both parties do is continue spending, printing more money, spending some more....print some more. It's a good thing we have the best military for when someone tries...

Well they dont need Nelson anymore so what the hell. lol!! He got used just like Stupak did. But, whatever it takes..... The bribes have been going on forever. I am not ok with it however. I'm Independent, did I mention that? lol!!! Listen, I am glad we can discuss this without going nuts on...

Out of the bill.....AFTER it was passed using the votes gained by making those promises to Congressman. lol

You're employing class warfare in attacking Gates. Seems to me the guy must have busted his butt to get where he is. He must have some kind of motivation and intelligence to get where he is. Would u agree? You don't think he worked hard? Just because the result has made him rich? Just because he...

Buffy---sorry I missed your post above. See the Cornhusker Kickback, the Louisiana Purchase...and Gator Aid, among others. These are basically bribes to get votes. I've also heard future jobs have been promised but I guess we'll see if that occurs. Happens in many admins but just because...

Bush is not President now. The "two wrongs make it right" argument doesn't work. lol Plus, as I recall, Obama and his party were on board for "Bush's War". Before they were against it, that is. You want to see creative accounting, you should check out how the CBO scored this bill. The...

There were other options to increase competition, which would drive the prices down. Government regulations result in higher prices and shortages of services. All of the same arguments made in favor of this thing were made for social security, medicaid, etc. and they are all broke. Why is this...

It's funny that 75% of the people in this country are happy with their coverage yet they still saw reason to ramrod this thing through. Instead of concentrating on the uninsured, they thought it best to overhaul the entire system. This tells me that it's not entirely about healthcare. I believe...

I watch this occasionally but I still miss Rome. I think it sucked that they only did 2 seasons.

No, I agree, the sky is usually blue and most grass is green. I just disagreed with your attempt at humor, which I didn't realize was actually humor until you barked at me. Anyway, this detour notwithstanding, this was an interesting thread.

I realize this is an old thread but I highly recommend the Jacob's Ladder. We have one at the club and it's a great overall workout. It leaves me out of breath in minutes like no other exercise I have done. I have a slightly bulged disc and have no issues using this piece of equipment. Give it...

I wanted to add that the period goes outside the quotes if the item in quotes is a letter or number and it ends the sentence. Example --- He got an "A". I was reading up on this a bit and apparently the differences between the American way of doing this and the British way has something to...
