  1. I have been trying to plan a climbing/camping trip to Joshua Tree. If I do this I will let you know and we can try to get a round in BEFORE the camping.
  2. This is what I am talking about. She will know how to not create more waste trying to "fix" the problems in CA. and really I am tired of politicians using scare tactics to justify and pass budgets. The whole "we're going to shut down national parks" routine is getting old. I am sure that there is NO other money available ANYWHERE, so we have to shut down the National Parks. Good one! Why don't you look for waste in Wellfare, SDI, Medical or any other social program that is crappy and in need of reform, but no let's shut down the national parks because we are too lazy to go after what is
  3. I don't know that i have ever just gone to the Amazon homepage. If anything, I would google a book and then if amazon was one of the results I would click on it. Yes, I know that I am fully behind the times.
  4. I'm sure that Halliburton pays a substantial amount in taxes on that Trillion dollars of profit. Even if the goverment somehow only see 1% of the trillion dollar profit, that is still 10 Billion, so I think in your example that is a great ROI for the government.
  5. Yes but knowing how to make "as much money as possible" tells me that you would at least know where to look for waste. IE if something is broke you either fix it, or get rid of it, not just keep pumping money into it until it "works". Also, she would know something of budgets and how to maybe make a budget work and start to see about fixing the broken pension system. For me, I like the idea of trading a pension for a traditional 401(k) plan. The government pension plans, at least in CA, are out of control and needs to be fixed in a hurry.
  6. I'm leaning more towards Whitman right now. She ran a multi billion dollar business. Seems like she should be able to identify waste and be able to at least try and get rid of it. Plus I don't think she "owes" any favors to anyone since she ran the campaign with her own money (I could be mistaken on this point)
  7. I thought it had something to do with sewing. My wife sews and it sounded like something she would use ... apparently I am very behind on the tech world
  8. The thing about Tiger is that no matter what, when he is playing good he has the best chance out of anyone to win. None of the younger guys have that moxie yet. I was hoping to see it in Dustin Johnson, but he lacks the consistency as well. Lets face it. I don't see any of the young kids right now who have the dominance that Tiger did when he burst onto the scene. Granted the iron curtain that Tiger had for so long is somewhat cracked, but just wait till he can focus all his energy on golf again. It may be next year or the year after, but I believe he will return to form and with that wi
  9. Well with all these studies being done, they should be experts ...
  10. Always the worst when it is the first card shown!
  11. You both had JJ?Sounds like you had a good time!
  12. I hope the Office is getting close to being cancelled. They are missing something. I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe they are trying too hard with Pam and to me she is failing miserably. I did like that they referenced poker last night, but still the show is just not that good. I mean really, Pretty Woman ... that was horrible.
  13. Could you somehow break your business into three seperate businesses each with 35 employees? Or is there some legal jargon about doing that. Seems for some businesses it might be easier to do it that way. Not real sure what you do, so i'm not sure even how viable that would be. Then you could not pay for the health insurance AND not pay the fine. Win Win?
  14. Feeling good again with my game. Shot a +1. Also, I just bought a Star Destroyer. I was considering the Katana or the groove, however, I heard the Destroyer was like a Groove but just a tad easier to throw. First shot i had lead to an awesome birdie. Uphill 360 yards through a tree lined fairway. Actually had it heading toward the trees, but it turned like a pro shot and wound up 5 feet from the basket after an awesome skip.
  15. There is a HUGE difference. First of all, I don't think you ever saw Siegfried and Roy cruising around their neighborhood with the Tigers on a leash. As I said before they are in a controlled environment which makes them "controllable" although we saw how well that worked out. Second of all, Tigers are wild animals who have a predatory instinct. No matter how much S&R try to bury that down, it is going to be there.
  16. I'm pretty sure walking around with a Tiger is neither safe nor responsible for anyone's sake. Yes, they can be reasonably controlled, but that is usually in a controlled environment.
  17. You should be able to prove why you need to have more children if you are going to have more than 5. Unless of course you are going for the 5th child and end up having triplets
  18. Give people a license to own certain breeds of dogs?
  19. Ah. Sorry, you posted that it was a persistant danger to you, which I took to assume you meant that you were in constant danger from Pitbulls attacking you. It seems rather that the persistant danger is to your dog. I can understand that. We have a mini dachshund and anytime I see a meaner looking bigger dog (not just pitbulls mind you) I either switch sides of the street or pick him up as we walk by. Sometimes the other pet owners ask why and I just tell them that our dog has little man syndrome. He doesn't as he is the most cowardly dog in the world, I just wouldn't want anything to ev
  20. I think you might be over reaching on this conclusion. Do you not go out on the streets because there are pit bulls lurking waiting to maul you ... I think not. There is definitely something wrong with the individuals who own them because they want a tough dog and they go about making the stereotypical "Pitt", but to say they are a persistant danger to you is an interesting way to word it. Maybe you can expand on this a little so we understand what you mean.
