  1. And they failed to show as contracted at a June boogie on the West coast, choosing instead to take another (presumably more lucrative) job. Fayard had previously done some of the same.
  2. If this is whoever took over from Fayard, and it was at least 3 months ago, I wouldn't count on them to show up even if you have a contract, if they get a last minute "better deal".
  3. Isn't there a concern that the friction would keep the line down, when you try to let it up?
  4. That's sorta what I had heard, but the guy who works for me always goes to the VA (in Palo Alto), even though he has what would be considered very good medical coverage through our employer. I, on the other hand, have been using Stanford Hospital/Clinics services, and am looking for somewhere that does a better job, at a lower cost (yes, I am so cheap that I look for more competitive rates even when I don't pay for the services directly, and question every inflated charge).
  5. I don't know about that. Just because one benefits from taxes subsidizing one's disproportionate use of medical services doesn't mean that they want others to similarly benefit, thus cutting into their pie.
  6. I said yes/liberal, but I really think that the original or 2nd wording should be used, not that which came in in the 50's (IIRC).
  7. Brings to mind my high school days. Our lousy team rarely won a game, but we usually won the fight in the parking lot after the game.
  8. I might have to make that into my sig.
  9. I saw one on the way to work yesterday.
  10. Deep fry it. Don't they do that with everything down South?
  11. If you don't like where I land, stay out of the tent!
  12. If I calculate correctly, NiMH power density is much higher than that, at least if they are talking about a typical refrigerator.
  13. I'm getting the absolute freshest turtle eggs this way.
  14. Life is a shit sandwich -- if you have more bread, you eat less shit.
  15. no, but any news release labeling SF as one of the meanest cities to the homeless can best be used to line a bird cage. I've never seen such an article, but maybe it would be good PR to decrease the problem.
  16. Either you are young, or it is really shitty insurance. I paid about that much 8 years ago, with a $2k deductible.
  17. It is not in the Recycle BIn, but it is also no longer where it belongs, in http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3631592;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread I assume that it was message 8/8; 5/8 and 7/8 are also absent.
  18. To help people with mediocre reading comprehension.
  19. Somewhat moderated by warmer air holding more water vapor.
  20. Like now, if you have the $ to spend, you will get the care. I recommend that you plan to have the dollars.
  21. Are you insinuating that gangs are interchangable with race? i ask because that is how it sounds. Could you clarify, if not? Sounds more like religion than race.
  22. If they are readily accessible, it is not a good deal. If they are not, it is a bad deal, but it is the fault of the manufacturer, not the service tech.
