  1. I only enjoy baseball if the Royals are playing at home, and I get my hot dog and drink. And only when I have the 2 girls with me, now that is baseball! [move] GO ROYALS GO ROYALS [/move]
  2. At the top, I think 100000000000000000000000000000000% might do!
  3. Luckily as of yet we have had no electric shortages like that in the midwest. But we do have water shortages. No lawn watering and such. Which is fine with me, less mowing!
  4. Welcome to the forum Miss. Priss Finally some that knows how to handle shug. And on his birthday no less.
  5. This is a little more on the construction side, but how well insulated is your attic? ?
  6. I would agree with you 99% php, but you have some different cases. What if your wife is lying on the table, and you have a choice of your wife lives or your child lives? Either way it is murder. What do you do in rape cases, adoption or what.(say a white woman gets raped by a black individual etc...) I think it is a case by case problem on some of them.
  7. Welcome to the forum loudfist Nice speeds, just keep it clean. Should be fine.
  8. What I have learned to do for a very long post, is to do it in notepad and then D/L it.
  9. That X-Men one was 17.5K. Ok, maybe one.
  10. Cheap whiner! DAMN shug, do you know how much that friggin CAKE set me back. FIne, but if you want someone to jump out of the cake you'd better ask water. [move] Here's your damned icecream! Enjoy! [/move]
  11. "relativism" 1)the concept that a cultural system can be viewed only in terms of the principles, background, frame of reference, and history that characterize it. 2the view that truth is relative and not absolute. It varies from people to people, time to time. 3In ethics, relativism is the opposite of absolutism . Where as absolutism insists that there are universal ethical standards that are inflexible and absolute , relativism asserts that ethical mores vary from era to era, culture to culture, situation to situation. For instance, an absolutist would condemn China's forced-abortion policy, while a relativist would say that in a culture of one billion human beings, such a policy is acceptable and even beneficial for the whole of Chinese society. ... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&defl=en&q=define:relativism&sa=X&oi=glossary_definition&ct=title Something like that! #3 probably says it best. I personally feel the temporary insane theory should go out the door. If you killed someone, you either had good reason or NOT! The jury of your peers will know. Now die like a dog! "I did not realize what I was doing when I drowned my 4 children."
  12. Yeah I read it shug. My wife's grandfather's saying is "right is right, and wrong is wrong". Too simple!
  13. Well heck. I was wondering WTF was going on. I just read last night that it was not til tomorrow. Got me too. So here we go! I hope there is enough cake to go around. They said it would feed 30,000+ people!

  14. That is a shame. But thanks to the media, it will do nothing but get worse. Until the media starts to be under some type of control. Probably never!
  15. I stand corrected. But I was not trying to point at Islam, just the terrorists and their mindless followers! But the real meaning is the children are the answer. Sorry if I came off wrong. It just boils up inside sometimes. And you remember how the old steam pot mom used to use was, how you had to let the temp come down before you open up the lid? I blew a damned good stew all over the kitchen walls and ceiling one time. I thought she was going to kill me. She just laughed.
  16. One more little quick one. The main thing I enjoy about the Bible "IS" what did Jesus enjoy and put the most stock in? Think about it! Bring me the little children! Let them come before me. You can not get to heaven til you think like a child. Why you say? Because they are innocent, fresh, and clean. Like a new computer. They only start with the info you put into them. So wake up parents. It is up to you how this DAMNED world turns out. I just hope I put in a couple of GREAT ONES myself. And you will never hear that one from the Taliban! I don't think they actaully believe in children, except as killing machines. Again, just my thought. Tommie. Christianity rules, when used properly.
  17. Just my thoughts on this. The media, soap opera's, and talk shows. Which is derived from us wanting excitement at any cost. The media, they will lie and twist a story just to make it exciting to watch. Who cares about the truth. Next time you watch the NEWS try and see if you can see the lies. We want to believe everything they say. It is our source of info. Maybe we put too much stock in what they put on out TV's. Soap opera's. Take any woman or lessor man and put up all these stories about romance, love stories, cheating, deciept, all the gory crap that women usually crave. I have been married twice, and in both of them it is not uncommon for the wife to think I am up to something wrong, just because she saw it on TV. I would rather watch an old Bonanza, Andy Griffith, Gomer Pyle, etc... Daytime TV sucks. And movies, I like a little action type of adventure. When was the last time you made your kids sit down and watch a Good old Walt Disney film? ? ? Now talk shows. Almost self explanatory. Oprah, and the rest will just stretch your imagination some times. If you will notice alot of them just redo the same one over and over and over and over. Who is the father of this little child. Women and men seem to love this TRASH. Why should that be topic in the first place, come on maybe a couple of times, but the concern goes out of the door after maybe 5 times of the same thing. Just ratings. I almost left out the psychiatrists. DR. PHIL. What a BOOB. Who does he think he really is? Yes he has credintials. A shrink. How can he diagnose everybodies problems without even knowing them and talking to them. And then he leaves the rest for us to try and figure out if this might be what is wrong with people we know ourselves. And just because my kid acts like this today, does not mean my child will act the same way next time. Grrrr. It bites me the stock people put in some other people. Would you go see a psyco for your kids? Hell no, then why would even listen to him on TV in the first place? And as mother says, don't ask your neighbors for advice on important matters in your household and expect it work more than 1/2 of the time. What works for their husband will probably not work on yours. They are two entirely differet people. The same goes for our children. Just start finding entertainment in your own children, and the world will be a much better place. Children are entertaining, funny, imaginative, creative, make you very proud, and very loyal, and will give you more love than your spouse could ever possibly give you. They will again reproduce this in Grandchildren if you do it right. Now if you was to ask me what is the biggest investment return you could possibly ever have, it is your children. And they will not need or deminish in any way like your electronics will! They will give you the best return you will ever get. I live, work,breathe, and invest for my children! If you can also say this, then we are already on the road to a recovering Nation. U S A We are free to change anything we want to. Now maybe that is why I got the "Sophist" award. But don't listen to me, I am just a friendly neighbor!
  18. Actually that would be a deep psycological talk. But I believe it starts at puberty. And then the way guy's treat them afterwards. Anyway too deep already. Actually guy's also act like that sometimes also. Just not as often. And we as guy's have to want to and think how to go about it, where as with girls it comes more naturally. But they do not all do this. As in waters case and other fine upstanding females I have known. ( My mother included in this bunch. I never knew her to actually act that way) I guess I actually found him mostly offensive in the way he portrayed himself as a Master Tech. And lack of people friendliness. I also posted in the other forum he had joined, and pretty much ruined his credability over there. He has been pulling the same crap. The owner actually thanked me. I also believe a Member called Maverick also posted here to find out why he offended us here. I hope he got some good answers from us in here.

  20. Good old posters cholla, I still like the mouse flipping the eagle off.
  21. So what did Brighthouse say? Or does it work that way?
  22. Welcome to the forum PhoenixSunrise. Let's see. You say a "modem/router only results in the modem". I am assuming you mean seperate items. Have you tried bypassing the router and hooking directly to the modem? What are your advertised speeds? Which Anti-Virus are you running? Have you tried with your firewall down? Maybe post a test with the 579 file test.
  23. So let me get this straight. FIOS is faster because they are working with all new installed equipment. Where cable is working with old equip. and doing the best they probably can. And still make a profit. Am I close???
