  1. Thats wierd, because I requested a replacement bin from the local recycling provider, and they gave me two. I guess one for each house on the property, but the pool house hardly needs a recycle bin.

  2. Like some others are the board, I like maps. I studied them alot in primary and secondary schools. When I was in high school, I had geography classes offered to me. Since No Child Left Behind and their brillliant idea of test scores dictating which districts get money by "achievement" on standardized test scores, only three core subjects in school (math, science, language arts/reading) get tested in many states. School disricts stopped offering Geography classes and deemphasized other social studies classes because they are not tests. With that, learning the importance of maps has is not deemed important anymore.

    . . . . . . . . . . . . and without geography, you are nowhere.

  3. I hate hate it when every other word out of a person's mouth (usually girls) is "like".

    True that! My daughter tried that stuff on for size. She stopped it quickly when she asked for, "like 20 bucks to go to the movies" and I handed her 20 monopoly dollars. She said, that's not like, $20 real dollars." I said, "Yes it is, its just like a real $20 dollars, but its not the real thing because you wanted "like "the real thing, so there ya go."

    She hasn't done it since.

  4. This is a really cool thread with alot of great posts. I've always had an interest in police cars. I guess because I am always looking for them when I'm driving. The Chargers are my favorite. I was in Chicagoland recently and noticed that one of the suburbs (Oak Lawn or Oak Park) has a Hummer H2 police car. They got it from a drug bust and coverted it into a cop car. In the early 90's, the Chicago suburb of Winfield had Buick Centuries and Regals as their squad cars.

    I was watching Speeders on TruTV and noticed that many forces are using the 2wd Tahoes. I also noticed that one of the units in Florida has an unmarked Ford Super Duty. That was a surprise.

  5. People who do this actually volunteered for a show speaking of their fetish? That's very risky. Hmmm, sort of gives a new meaning to sex ofFENDER. I think they are having sex with other parts of the car besides the fender. :lol:

  6. It's my business if I have to look at it in too-tight clothing, it spills onto my airplane seat, it gets subsidized by my health insurance, it gets subsidized by my tax dollars through disability claims, and when I have to pay an extra $25 to check a second bag at the airport. It's called "public health" because it is a concern of the public--and each member of the public contributes to the aggregate statistics.

    I'm certainly not perfectly in shape, either, but I've lost 8 inches on my waist since I decided I was tired of being overweight and was going to do something about it. 4 years ago I was 214 lbs, wore a size L and 36" waist. Now I'm a 28/30 waist, wear size S or XS, and weigh about 155. And I don't even recognize myself in really old photos. It's awesome, and I highly recommend taking health seriously to anyone I can.

    I just disagree with this because I just don't judge people about stuff like that because I know there are people who have food addictions that they suffer with. I also know that many of these ready made foods come with fillers that make people fatter. I am very tall, work out for two hours a day, 1 hr cardio, 1 hr weight training, and when I see someone who is obese or overweight I feel sorry for them. In my belief, it's not my place to judge someone because I don't know their whole story. Hell, many people are not educated regarding nutrition so they just flat don't know what to eat that will make them feel good, and many do not know how to lose weight, or have the money to have somone teach them. It's really sad. It's really none of my business what people do with their health. I just try to see them as people first and all this other crap is not an issue if they are a good hearted person. The same goes for smokers, ugly people, or any other habit that is not pleasing to the eye. Thankfully this is America and you have a right to your opinion and feelings. But the fat people have a right to over eat and under exercise, just like smokers have the right to smoke, and ugly people have the right to exist.

    The reason I find this thread disappointing to me is that it is another reminder to me of the disrespect and continued shallow judgemental nature of people that just seems to be worse and worse.

  7. Well I can't tell you the last time I've been to an American Mall, but my daughter wanted to go so we all went.

    I definitely have come to the conclusion that Americans are the fattest people on the face of the earth.

    People should not wear jeans when they are as wide as they are tall ... :smilewide:

    And wearing sweatpants just screams "I've Given UP"! :P

    What I experienced tonight was the most bizarre sights and smells I've have seen in a long long time ... My eyes, my eyes ... :unsure:

    How is someone else's weight any of your business? It's not like you are feeding them. :nono:

  8. Its easier to give up when times are tough, especially with something you are attached with emotionally. One of the first defense mechanisms is to get rid of it because it causes stress in our lives. It's completely understandable. This is why fair weather fans are so common. The true fans stand by their company, country, and hell, their sports team.
