  1. LOVED IT that our U.S. Paralympic Quad Rugby Team got the GOLD back again! If you followed their story they lost the gold to the Canadians back in Athens 4 years ago. Nice to see our boys brought it home again this week!
  2. DSE...I'm sure I'm reading this sentence the wrong way. Can you help me out? Line burns on your feet? You were 'tossed' into a vertical head-down position on deployment? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  3. Just saw the article online and thought I'd post it here. You beat me to it, DSE!

  5. Along those same lines, there was an outdoor urinal stall in Lahti Finland, where we were for the World Games in 1997. Never saw anyone actually use it, but it was fully functional. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  6. Depending on which newscast you are watching there are now 10 and up to 20 dead and multiple injuries. Nobody is speculating on who's at fault yet, but I have to ask....Why the hell do commuter trains have to share the exact same track with freight trains?! Yeah, I know it's more economical to use the track that's already laid, but how much is a life worth!! http://abcnews.go.com/Business/BusinessTravel/wireStory?id=5793305 ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  7. Did you also realize that she didn't seem to want to answer if she agreed with "The Bush Doctrine" as well... First she didn't seem to know what it meant, then when Gibson educated her she didn't respond with an answer. Not only Palin should answer this question, but all the candidates as well. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  8. That job being, to create a dangerous artificial bottleneck/ concertina effect as half the drivers on the road jump on the brakes to go 10mph below the speed limit as soon as they see it? Actually on this highway there were drivers who insisted on driving 90-100mph on their way to somewhere. I know because I would be in the center lane, going 80 and they'd literally FLY by on -either- side. The traffic was light in this area, so no...no bottle neck. Just slowing down those drivers who felt it was their right to play racer in the morning. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  9. Was there really someone in the cop car? Last year there was a cop car parked in the center median between east and west lanes of a highway I would drive to work (very wide dirt median in this section...No fence). Everyone would slow down and obey the speed limit there. Every time I looked it appeared that the car was empty. My thought was that they just parked one of their extra cruisers there as a deterrent. And it worked. Every so often the car would return to that spot. Then it would be gone. Seemed to do the job it was intended to do, each time. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  10. They're not wearing it for themselves. They're wearing the green to plead their case to save their habitat from those who would destroy it. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  11. I found this article most amusing today, especially with the controversy over the Alaskan oil pipeline proposal and their polar bears... Oh the irony! http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/09/07/green.polar.bears.japan.ap/index.html It's not easy being green.... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  12. All very good points you make, and ones that appear directly in front of someone with a quick read of her speech. Here's a few more: 6)"While I was at it, I got rid of a few things in the governor's office that I didn't believe our citizens should have to pay for. That luxury jet was over the top. I put it on eBay." --Yes, she put it on ebay, but it didn't sell. They had to turn around and sell it through an aviation venue instead. 7)"I told the Congress "thanks, but no thanks," for that Bridge to Nowhere." --As you brought up already, she kept the money though. And the project was already dead by the time it reached her desk anyway. She just read it it's last rights. 8) "But listening to him speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform - not even in the state senate. " --Ah, really Sarah? I think you need to do a little more research on that one. 9) "Taxes are too high ... he wants to raise them. His tax increases are the fine print in his economic plan, and let me be specific." --Again, she needs a bit more research here. His plan is to lower taxes on those incomes that are less than $200,000 for an individual, or $250,000 for couples. --Then Sarah's record indicates that while she was governor she just swapped lowering property taxes with raising sales tax. Something that netted an -increase- in government income for Alaska. ** Yes, her speech was brilliantly delivered, but whoever wrote it needs to tighten up his/her facts a bit. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  13. THIS WEB SITE has Duane Weber living in Kent, WA....but it doesn't mean THIS is your late husband's business. i.e.: There could be more than one person with this name in the state. Just because something's on the internet doesn't make it proof of anything. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  14. I believe you are correct. No parthenon, unless that's what they tried to make the outside of the White House look like. :^) ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  15. Considering illiteracy rates, we should probably stay away from words and just use the color system already in place; Red vs Blue Or we could label them with animals...oh wait, we've already done that! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  16. I had an elderly patient, years ago, who presented with numerous little bites all over her body. Come to find out she'd fallen one night, between her night stand and bed and couldn't get up. Nobody found her for 3 days. Seems that she had a huge ant problem at her house and couldn't get rid of them. She tried poison at their ant hill (which was huge, btw) but it didn't work.... So....she opted to place bits of meat on her back porch to attract them to one location. It worked, and she'd poison them right there as they gathered. You can see the problem coming....When she fell, the ants found HER! This time LIVE meat. They munched on her that entire 3 days until someone noticed something was up. She had bites in her ears, in her nose, around her eyes....everywhere. We called the Agriculture Department. They came, studied the situation, and took care of it. We wouldn't let her go home until it was. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  17. I want -your- car! ltdiver Obviously a typo. Notice where the "G" and "H" keys are on your keyboard. As for you wanting my car . . . no way! The right seat is the best you're ever going to do and you've already done that! We've been over this Fast thing before haven't we? Yeah, I know... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

  19. Reminder notice. Tomorrow morning at 8am. See attached ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  20. How I love my 300D (original Canon DSLR). The more I read about the newer models the more I appreciate the fact that my 300D has never had -any- of the problems that crop up here.
  21. Guess my late nights watching the Olympics has caught up with me. Good catch, Andi. Looking back on it I -think- I was starting to type "Typo Nazi's Punishment". Perhaps my different thought processes caught up with each other.... ltdiver btw, I am a typo-nazi myself. Actually hate when I make a stupid mistake like this. on me!
