Ah yes, the ol' "let's just make it illegal even though we have no real way to uniformly enforce" Plus now additional people have to be hired to audit, track, and enforce. Depending on how much the service costs are, a certain number of people would have to be caught and found guilty and benefits removed just to to break even. Then if it's deemed a jailable offense, additional expenses. crazy] Well, I really only posted to point out that what you posted may not be factually correct. I am certainly not defending the system. I know people here (not Bolas specifically) are loathe to let facts get in the way of a rant, though. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

I don't think this is correct for most trip insurance that includes medical evacuation. I worked for one of these places for a short while and they had a full time staff to handle evacuations throughout the world. They did not handle immediate evacuation/medical attention, that would be handled by local authorities/resources. To be safe you should read any contract terms very carefully.

Actually it may well be illegal not to look for or accept suitable work when you are collecting unemployment. Enforcement is pretty spotty in my experience. The following are from my state's employment commission website but other state qualifications are similar: You must be able to work and be available to work. Most claimants are required to make an active search for work. If directed to make an active search for work, you must register with your local job services through the VEC or a workforce services agency where you live if you live outside Virginia. If the VEC has directed you to look for work, you must contact several employers each week in your effort to find work. Note: Responses to blind ads or telephone calls to employers are not acceptable as job contacts. You must maintain complete and accurate records of your work search contacts for one year, for auditing purposes. You must provide the VEC, when requested, the following information that is subject to verification: § Month, day, year of contact; § Complete name of employer contacted; § Complete address (street, P.O. box number, city, state, zip code) of employer contacted; § First and last name of the individual for the employer/company with whom you talked; § Telephone number of the employer/company contacted; § Type of work or position for which you applied; and § Result of contact. 3. You must be willing to accept suitable work if offered and apply for suitable work when referred to a job by the VEC or your workforce services agency if you live outside Virginia. The term suitable work takes into account many factors such as previous work experience, physical and mental fitness, risk to your health, safety, or morals, and the distance from your home. Conditions of the work offered, such as wages and hours, are also considered. If you refuse a job or a VEC/workforce services agency referral to a job, the deputy will review the suitability of the work and your reason(s) for refusing it before issuing a determination on your continuing eligibility.

Yup, although if you read the BBC article (not very technical) it appears that what you have is a bacteria that is capable of integrating Arsenic into its DNA when it is intentionally grown in an arsenic rich environment but which prefers to use phospherous.

Lots of good suggestions already. You could call your local Department of Social Services. Often they run or coordinate gift drives. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

I paid $30 or $40 for one with regional jam bands a few months ago but it was a two night/three day sort of deal. Camping and cooking on site. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

Nope, not this time. I'll go for 'Twardo, too. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

I've always liked the idea of magazine subscriptions for presents for the same reason you mention the XXX of the month clubs--you get a reminder and a new present every month. My best presents have been experience presents--I am taking my kids on a plane ride (Cessna 182) for part of their Christmas this year. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

Quote I would love to be some sort of self-help leader. [\reply] Isn't a self-help leader kind of an oxymoron? "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

Drivers in Amman are pretty bad. Although they can communicate anything and everything by the way they beep their horns. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

Good morning. I say Amazon. Haven't seen Skootz since she changed jobs.... "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

Lots of running trophies. Some of them with actual meaning from placing in states, etc. and some for age group placings at small po-dunk road races. I also have some from swimming when I was growing up. Most of said trophies are still at my folks house, I don't get anything out of displaying them. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

Several of the dance studios in town here offer pole dancing classes. Also a few of them offer belly dancing as well. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

So which of the big three (defense, socsec, medicare) do you think realistically can be cut? All the other "welfare" programs that the tea party idiots talk whine about amount to peanuts by comparison. You missed the point entirely. For the record, I'm in favor of cuts in all three areas.

:2:0 A very nice two way with an experienced jumper (we turned 7 points) and a hop and pop on Sunday. Good to get back in the sky after some relative work took up most of last week. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

Cows-humans are the perfect example of s symbiotic relationship. They are an evolutionary success story thanks to their interrelationship with humans. There are no wild cows (aurochs were the ancestors of modern cows). Without humans to eat them they would become extinct. Of course that is still no reason to keep them in terrible comditions, standing in their own filth, feeding them corn which they are not adapted to eat, and filling them with antibiotics to keep them from getting sick from eating the corn.

Packed Tuesday morning at 6:30 to leave at 7:45. Didn't forget anything (did leave my shampoo there when I packed for the return trip, no big deal). If it is a specialty vacation (flyfishing, skidiving, etc) I would pack the equipment for the activity earlier and double-triple check it but the general stuff is always last minute.
