New Study Wastes Tax Dollars to Determine that Obesity Is 'Socially Contagious'

Add to you list of government waste and worthless studies: Social Scientists have determined that being friends with fat people makes you fat. So, I guess the scientists' most logical solution is to pick on the fat kids to prevent future heart attacks. I should thank the government for taking money from my paycheck to pay these pathetic scientific posers.

First of all, it is about time that the liberals in this Country make a decision. Either we are a poor Country, or we are an obese Country. We cannot have both. We are the only civilization in the history of the world where our poor people can eat so much that they become obese. I am sure that the starving North Korean citizen who literally has no food to eat only wished he had such a problem.

If anything, this study demonstrates that it is our government that is overfed, not the people. How is it that liberals claim we have no money to fund their programs, but we can afford ridiculous studies like this? I have a solution for the next study: figure out how we can cut government waste.

This whole mindset of using government money to cure obesity is because we fund healthcare with that same government money. If the government was taken out of our healthcare system, individuals would be their own burden. Their neighbors would not have to mortgage their futures due to their fat neighbor sucking up public funds. As a result, we would have real freedom in this Country and the there would be less acts of government to control people.

I personally cannot think of a more absurd roll for government than preventing people from eating fatty foods. If the government can dictate what we choose to eat, just imagine in a few years the new absurdities that will be shoved down our throats. You mark my words; Al Gore will be pushing carbohydrate credits in 2025 when we have to worry about global cooling again.

Copious Dissent - Your Daily Dose of Liberty

Rudy is much bigger than CAIR. He should ignore that nest of villains.

Looking forward to the day the Giuliani administration declares CAIR a terrorist entity.

Who are the main service providers of Hamas and Hizballah, and where are they located?

35 of those services are provided by American companies
6 of those services are provided by Syria
3 of those services are provided by Canada
3 of those services are provided by Iran
2 of those services are provided by France
1 of those services is provided by Lebanon
1 of those services is provided by Argentina
1 of those services is provided by Spain
1 of those services is provided by Jordan

Do the math - despite the fact that Hizballah is a Designated Terrorist organization, and despite 6 years of publicizing the role of American companies in providing services to Hizballah, they still receive 66% of the services required from American companies.
The list of Hizballah follows. We will post information about Hamas perhaps later this week.

I'm for FRED!

Charles,

What makes you think Giuliani will backpedal on this? Is it just a hunch or have you heard something specific?

re: #1 song_and_dance_man

Is that something you'll want your grandchildren to see!

just sent another thumbs up email with a different email address. maybe i'll do the same to CAIR.

re: #10 bigdicksplace

I'm for FRED!

You're in the right place.

I was at this event (3rd row) and his statement did not seem controversial. Then again linking Islamic and Terrorism is not a casus belli to me.

Already emailed a supportive, rational email.

Will again, wait one.

Time for me to get some zzz's, goodnite all

DONE!

Please don't make me explain why 95° F with 90% humidity isn't possible outside of your bathroom when you are taking a shower.

Not even Miami or New Orleans experiences 95° and 90% humidity.

Now, 85° with 95% humidity, on the Gulf Coast, is possible. But the first implies a dewpoint of 91°, which is about impossible, especially anywhere near New York, or Kenosha. Unless a steam line has exploded nearby.

The 85/95% means a dewpoint of 83°, which can occur in late summer in the tropics/sub-tropics.

Charles,

No, I haven't heard anything specific. I'm just looking at the current climate of appeasement -- and suffering from a severe case of political mistrust.

Letter sent, joined a group.

I will only vote for someone with backbone - we will see if there are any potential Winston Churchills out there.

Don't let me down Rudy!

Islamic Terrorism (just redundant but otherwise correct).

This sort of belongs below, but I did email him first..

I don't live in New York and never have even had the pleasure or to visit, but I saw, live in my living room and I went out the next day and bought a framed picture of the Twin Towers, and put up on the wall in my living room, where it still is today. My next president will use the words ISLAMIC MURDERING SCUMBAGS if he wants, and Rudy might/could be him.

I've been a supporter of Fred, but if what Debbie Schlussel says is true, Rudy ought to tell CAIR to STFU and differentiate himself from Fred as someone who isn't fooled by Islamists (again, if what Schlussel says is true.

To whom it may concern,

I support Rudy 100%! CAIR is an anti-free speech terrorist appeasing front group.
Freedom of speech is at play. Should the left and radical Islam tell us what we can and can't say?

"Islamic Terrorism" is what we face. Please stand tall!

I think a Rudy vs anyone from CAIR debate would be very compelling TV. Rudy would shred.

I sent my e-mail!-

Rudy Giuliani,

Stand strong AGAINST the terrorist-supporting Islamic organization CAIR, and FIGHT against ISLAMIC TERRORISM, Rudy Giuliani! Islamic organizations like CAIR want to overthrow America's secular, Western democracy and replace it with an Islamic theocracy under Shari'a law. The USA needs a leader to STOP that from happening. I hope that leader is you, Mr. Giuliani.

Islam is the cause of Islamic terrorism.

If you want my vote for President of the United States of America in 2008, you will need to acknowledge that Islam is the cause of Islamic terrorism and you will need to state that you will fight this GLOBAL WAR against Islam and Islamic terrorism both here in America and around the world.

You will also need to find a way to eliminate Islam (which is both a religion and a political system) from America.

You impressed me-and my family-greatly post 9/11, when you told the Saudi Wahabbi to take his $10 million dollars and go pound sand! :) You've impressed me with your strong leadership since September 11, 2001.

We need to WIN this potentially generation-long war Islam has declared on the West. Stay strong. Tell America that Islam is the real cause of Islamic terrorism, and you will get my vote for President in 2008.

The place I am sitting is less than a mile from Lake Michigan.

I live in Palm Springs and during the monsoon season (usually August) we can get 110 degrees with 90 to 95 % humidity. It gets so bad, we cannot even see the mountain (San Jacinto) which is about 10 miles from where I am.

I don't think there is any way a Republican can win in 2008 just by avoiding controversy.

Giuliani (or whoever) must first develop a loyal base of support. The number of people who will abandon Giuliani because he insisted on using the term "Islamic terrorism" is miniscule compared to the number that will be disillusioned if he caves into CAIR.

"Islamic Terrorism" "Islamic Terrorism" "Islamic Terrorism" "Islamic Terrorism" "Islamic Terrorism" "Islamic Terrorism" "Islamic Terrorism" "Islamic Terrorism"...
wow its kinna catchy after a while...

You can tell that the active tropical wave in the Western Gulf has high ambitions to be a tropical cyclone, but the almost 30 knots of shear, as estimated by satellite and provided by the U-Wisconsin CIMSS site, means development, if any, will be slow and the system will run out of time over water.

But golly, with a new upper low cutting off in SW Texas, and rivers and reservoirs full, that tropical wave isn't a friend to Texas.

Potential threat about August 5th to Carolinas, August 6th (+/- a day and a half) for NY/NE now about 32° W in the deep tropical North Atlantic.

Then again linking Islamic and Terrorism is not a casus belli to me.

As I study the 6 Documentary films on Nazi/Axis aggression in WWII, and how WWII started when Japan invaded Manchuria in 1927, but America didn't jump in until Dec 8th, 1941, I am struck by the many non-casus belli actions of the Axis and their parallels today:

-sending 'students' and 'businessmen' abroad in the thousands
-using the 'students' & 'businessmen' as Fifth Columns when needed
-lies, propaganda and BIG LIES
-dissembling, pretending reasonable-then-reverting
-using Truce as "Re-Arm and Prepare for More Attacking!" (hudna)
-Jew-fear, Jew-hatred
-overt racial-superiority (Aryan Germans, Islamic Arabs)

...and the list goes on, Canadastani!
Why We Fight!

re: #38 Obsidiandog I agree with you and - after reading Charles discussion in the last thread, sent Rudy's Webteam an e-mail expressing my support of his fighting back at CAIR and mentioned that they have less than three thousand members and are an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas funding trial!
I don't think Rudy needs support on this and I don't think Charles is "holding something back" from us, either. I think Charles is merely continuing his attacks on CAIR's attacks on the American People.

Not good.

Like the man said, journalists have a duty to associate Islam and terrorism because the terrorists themselves proclaim they kill for Allah and even name their groups with Islamic references.

If reporting those details hurts a "moderate" Muslim's feelings, too f-ing bad. Stop the terrorists or start your own religion.

I sure hope you're right! Actually, I know you're right. I'm backing Rudy 100% so I'm praying you're right.

How are you by the way? Hope you are holding up.

Dear Rudy Giuliani,

I totally support you in regards to linking the faith of Islam to terrorism, even if it is a bit subtle.

I have read these books the Qur'an, Ahadith and the Life of Mohammad.
Mohammad was a terrorist and so are his followers. Islam has not been highjacked.
Islamic Terrorism is a fulfillment of the teachings of Mohammad.
I know more now about this poor excuse for a religion then I ever wanted to know.

Did you know that Qur'an is not in chronological order but in order from largest to smallest chapter?

Did you know that the Qur'an is also logically divided into two main sections. The earlier (peaceful) Meccan section followed chronologically by the later (violent, intolerant) section?

Did you know that all of the peaceful verses have been abrogated by the violent verses. Sure the peaceful verses are still in the Qur'an but are not to be followed and are only used in this era for deceiving the Infidels (Non-Muslims)?

Did you know that once Islam calls a country to convert to Islam and they do not that all inhabitants of that country are fair game for killing?

Did you know that able Muslims are to fight in the way of Allah with their lives and property until the entire world belongs to Allah alone?

The West is approaching a crossroad and the direction we take will mean life or death. Choose wisely.

Please kindly consider these references for you and your staff to research.

re: #57 Carridine

To amplify: ANY ONE of those isn't enough, in and of itself, to be a casus belli (a reason for war).

But taken together, especially in light of how World War II turned out, they are definitely signs of impending distress and friction!

Here’s another Wednesday evening open thread, and another plea to LGF readers to contact the Giuliani campaign and tell them you don’t want Rudy to cave in to CAIR’s demands:

Rudy Giuliani Presidential Committee
295 Greenwich St, #371, New York, NY 10007
Tel: 212-835-9449, 646-943-7890
E-mail: webteam@joinrudy2008.com

This is important, because if we are unable to identify the war that we are in, which involves terrorism but also a dangerous death-cult ideology tied to religious fervor and a supremacy concept, we will not be able to act effectively. It's important to be able to speak about Islamic terrorism, because if we cannot speak the truth we will be hampered in trying to think the truth.

For CAIR to be able to stop Rudy from speaking the truth, and speaking about Islamic terrorism, would be a bad blow that will not help the pubic think clearly about the threat. I sent an email to the webteam address shown. I am hoping that many other lizards, besides those who mentioned that they had emailed, will also contact them and ask that they don't cave in to what CAIR is demanding.

um growing up in ohio i can assure you there were days in the summer with 90+ temps and 90+ humidity.

I really appreciate this type of info from all the regulars. I can't keep watch on all issues daily, but check up here for what I consider the really important stuff, and did email the John Doe letter someone posted to my crazy california reps. I see it got through; thank goodness.

And I will support this also.

Just a big 'Thanks' to those who keep watch, we busy ones appreciate what you do to protect us.

I sent Rudy my support.

The place I am sitting is less than a mile from Lake Michigan.

Lake Michigan, mid lake, is 69°. (Not even 21° C.)

It isn't going to cause dewpoint values of 90&deg. Your humidity is coming from moisture evaporated off the Gulf, maybe South Atlantic and Caribbean. Some recycled via evapiro-transpiration. But basically, the Gulf.

The Gulf is averaging around 30°.

Hmmm, Milwaukee dewpoints and humidity values actually darned comfortable. Not just comfortable by Southern standards, no, comfortable even by Yankee summer-time standards.

Seriously, though I think it would actually be more prudent to NOT send him a poopload of emails saying not to give in & just see what kind of guy Rudy is!

I would rather find out now that he is the type to cave in to CAIR, than after he has already become POTUS.

No, you can't.

The 110°, yes. But trust me, even in 'monsoon' season, your dewpoints rarely exceed 70° F. That is below 30% relative humidity. Now, at 7 am, when the temp is in the 70s, your RH is in the 90s.

BTW, moisture isn't the only think that reduces visibility. Dust, haze, smoke, that good stuff.

BTW, the 30% RH stuff is why parts of the West get 'dry' thunderstorms. Because the humidity is low, the cloud bases are high to begin with, and with dry air, the rain evaporates. If the thunderstorm is dropping enough rain, and the air is dry enough, so that all or most of the rain evaporates, the air cools to near the dewpoint, cold air is denser than warm air, and wham-bam thank you mam, impressive downburst winds, enough to cause the big dust storms. (Forget the Arizona name, from the Arabic, something like haloub). Those 'dry' thunderstorms still make lightning, and start a lot of fires.

Dear Mr. Giuliani,
CAIR is nothing but an active seditious enemy in our own backyard. It needs destroyed. Please do so.
Thanks

Hope it doesn't look to much like a form letter...

Whoa! Jay Leno is doing a whole sketch about Al-Qaeda and its pretend frontman in Iraq. (They hired an actor, in case anyone missed it.)

Jay: Do you have any groupies?
AQ man: Leave the camels out of this.

57 Carridine

You're right on target - the list of casus belli committed by our foes goes on and on and on.
Frankly, the very fact that CAIR is a terrorist group and yet operates publicly disgusts me. They are treated by many as if they really represent an interest group of citizens - like the NRA or a union - without any fear of being shut down.
Advocate the overthrow of the present form of government and represent a violent extremist group - I don't know, that SEEMS like the kind of thing you could shut down.

My point, naturally, is that our legitimate references to these obvious truths should not be news, let alone an excuse for a terror front group to absurdly accuse us of intolerance.

The echoes of WWII are ominous, but the most powerful one is that so many folks in the West - North America and Europe - just want to be left alone. They want this to pass by. If we just keep talking and leave them alone this will all go away. Whether we view today as the late 30's prelude to war or the "phony war" of Brits and French sitting on the Western Front waiting for the Germans to finish up the Poles and (hopefully) not attack. Just sad.

If the thunderstorm is dropping enough rain, and the air is dry enough, so that all or most of the rain evaporates, the air cools to near the dewpoint, cold air is denser than warm air, and wham-bam thank you mam, impressive downburst winds, enough to cause the big dust storms. (Forget the Arizona name, from the Arabic, something like haloub). Those 'dry' thunderstorms still make lightning, and start a lot of fires.

30% RH I wish. Come late Octber the Santa Anas come roaring in from the Great Basin through the Cajon pass, we wish for 30% RH at that time of year.

Courage!

Courage!

RE Fred Thompson. That would seal the deal against him for me. I lean his way every now and then. I'm not for coddling Islamist's by inviting them over to dinner. My litmus test is that they have to support Israel first. If they can't, they can't play on my team. They can support Israel and still get all the Palestinian laundry washed that they want to. The only reason they don't support Israel is because they want space to kill Jews.

I am running on the Continuous Party ticket, and am beholden to no special interest, since I am the only member of my party! I had my convention a few minutes ago, and by unanimous consent of the member present, I won the nomination! So, those of you in write-in states, I'd sincerely appreciate your vote.

My platform - Take the best what Tancredo and Giuliani stand for, and you have me.

Vote ME in '08!

When it is too dry in So. Cal they get fires in the Chapparall in the mountains.

Rudy's phone numbers have been overloaded since CAIR announced their campaign against him today. That's why I have a second post on this subject -- because it's important. Big pressure is being put on Giuliani to compromise his stance on Islamic terrorism; we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg.

Rudy has facts and reason and great delivery.

CAIR's only hope is to drown him out.

Dear Mayor Giuliani,

While browsing the blog Little Green Footballs, I learn that the Council on American Islamic Relations has issued an "Action Alert" on you because you persisted in using the phrase "Islamic terrorism." I am writing to ask and plead with you to NOT BACK DOWN from Cair's bullying tactics. If someone as tenacious as you backs down from CAIR, what hope is there left for America? I saw how you handled the 10 million dollar donation from the Saudi prince, and I greatly respected you for that.

Don't fail me now.
Don't fail us now.
Don't fail America in her time of need.

We need a leader with a strong backbone to fight Islamic terrorism. Are you that man we've been searching for?

Sincerely,
xxx

If Rudy was right on illegals and guns, I'd be enthused about his candidacy, but he's been on the wrong side of both of those issues.

Edwards talks issues, borrows butt salve

After riding from just north of Dumont to Kesley, Edwards wrapped his arms around a several riders from Team Killer Bees for a photo, but declined be held aloft in their traditional sideways pose. "You'd drop me, then I couldn't be president," he joked.

Then he sat down in Kesley for a diet soda and a pork chop. "My second," he said.

The candidate was sweaty after about a dozen miles, but there was no evidence of helmet hair.

As the pack crammed together to let a car pass, Edwards wobbled a little and veered around a rider.

Graduate student Allison Vos of Chapel Hill, N.C., told Edwards that people probably didn't realize he was in the group of cyclists hanging back from those encircling the cycling champion.

"That's just fine with me," said Edwards, who had a chain grease "tattoo" on his right calf.

"This is actually not hard, this is fun," Edwards said as he climbed a hill on County Road T16 on a black Trek road bike he borrowed for the day. "The biggest problem is my butt hurts. Is that normal?"

"Do you want some Chamois Butt'r?" Peter Klein, of Beloit, Wisc., asked him.

"What's that?" Edwards said

I sent a succinct email...

I am a volunteer in his campaign, have given money and plan to give more. And I have emailed the campaign on this issue. They are being overwhelmed by emails of support for him against CAIR.

Having been drunk in public in both cities, while Houston is humid, New Orleans is the capital city of humidity. Late summer 30 to 32° Gulf to the South, equally warm Pontchartrain to the North, oh yeah, it is humid.

Not sure why Romney never took off, unless people really are that worried about a Mormon, but at this point, especially if Fred is going PC on Islam, despite being probably more liberal than some Dems (well, Lieberman), Rudy is best of the elect ables. Would Duncan Hunter be a far better POTUS? You bet. But the best he can realistically hope for is a VP nod.

Scientific American, a magazine that has pretty much devolved into a Global Warming rag (and one I'm this close to cancelling after a 20+ year sub...), in the last couple of issues had a big spread about how anthropogenic GW was a slam dunk (based on the glorious UN IPCC report) and one on how hurricanes are now going to be so totally horrible that we're all going to pretty much die.

Thanks for clearing that up. I know what you mean - I sometimes find political topics at my favorite football site and the post deletions are one-sided. Without me mentioning anything about LGF, some lib busts in with his notions on what kind of people post on here. I correct every lie and the thread goes away.
Oh well, glad you took it as light ribbing on the Weather world.

And on topic, I was at the event (repeating my self) and also just sent a little note of support for Rudy. I found it surprising that Michelle Malkin (or Allahpundit) went after Rudy on HotAir for fair statements. http://hotair.com/archives/2007/07/25/rudy-demagog ues-the-democrats/
Odd. Needless to say I am a Rudy fan.

re: #216 realwest

Latest polling data shows a 100% vote FOR a joint ticket with you and I on the ballot, forming the Continuous/Lizardian Party. Have my Cabinet appointments matched yours?

I'd keep the 21 drinking age, but pass a law allowing states to permit alcohol sales by anyone with valid military ID.

That being said, withholding Federal highway dollars from states that didn't raise the drinking age seems like a 9th Amendment issue to me. That was how the nationwide 21 law came into effect.

Louisiana, always different from the US, made it illegal to purchase alcohol for people under 21, but kept the old law criminalizing the selling of alcohol to people under 18. So college kids and the such, while technically breaking the law, could still buy alcohol. The Feds finally wised up to that one.

If you stick with hamburger instead of sausage, swap a can of tomato sauce for the water, swap black pepper for red, and use minute rice instead of pasta, you have exactly my own version of "Spanish Rice" that makes an incredible meal of the kind you can put in tuppers and eat for lunch at work for a week.

re: #219 tankdemon

Now thats just stupid, properly equipped grunts can do a hell of a lot of damage in a week. Hell one grunt can take out a take, if he can get close enough to throw a grenade at the tracks.

IIRC, in traditional usage, a marinara is meatless.

re: #219 tankdemon

You do realize a single grunt can take that tank out.

You know, I've heard that rumor, but I've never seen it happen...

Of course, we don't generally fight against U. S. infantry, so I guess there is a slight possibility that it is possible. Then again, I think the existance of Sasquatch is possible.

Minute Rice...

*shudders*

If I can get close enough to an F-16 fighter, I can take it out by hurling a big piece of FOD towards the intake.

I still wouldn't want to go up against one.

re: #241 tankdemon

AIR power, baby! If an A-10 is overhead, watch the fun begin!

re: #243 Northpaw

Well, it's better with real rice, but minute rice is, well, quicker.

re: #237 pat

That's an amazingly accurate characterization, I think. Also, despite possible appearances to the contrary, I actually think Rudy has mellowed a bit over the years -- some of his more confrontational edges have been smoothed out (without compromising his principles).

re: #244 Ed Mahmoud's Sock Puppet

That's the weak spot on an air-to-mud Falcon, to be sure!

re: #184 SeafoodGumbo

If Rudy was right on illegals and guns, I'd be enthused about his candidacy, but he's been on the wrong side of both of those issues.

Rudy became mayor when NYC was going down the tubes. Literally.

When Giuliani took office in 1992 the yearly homicide rate was almost 2,000. When he left office in 2000 it was 673. So he cut it about 70%. Burglary went from 119,000 to 37,000. Larceny 236,000 to 139,000. Auto theft from 137,000 to 36,000.

Here's the original quote and link.

I remember coming out of a club one night before Giuliani was elected and watching a truckload of gang members brandishing uzis drive by. It was pretty scary. And somehow I don't think that's what our Founding Father's had in mind when they granted us the right to bear arms.

So, was Rudy wrong on the gun issue? I don't think so. Unregistered guns in urban environments cause a lot of pain and death and suffering. There's has to be some sort of regulation. I think the statistics speak for themselves.

Dipping the tomatoes into boiling water for a time, and then plunging them into iced water is the way to peel tomatoes.

Better not tell you our mission during Desert Storm then. Wouldn't want reality to hit you to hard.

I have opened Pandora's Box, and it is delicious.

re: #225 6pat6 Well, it's late here and I'll have to sleep on that (and wait to see what campagin contributions come from whom) but I'd be willing to have you as my running-mate! LOL!
And seriously, I gotta go to sleep now, as I anticipate having to spend LOTS of time counting the money pledged by folks who want certain spots in my our government!
Have a great night folks and I'll see y'all tomorrow!

re: #244 Ed Mahmoud's Sock Puppet

Ed, if you're that close, that piece of FOD will be you. Hate to lose our favorite meteorologist, here.

re: #217 Sharmuta

Rudy can't back down. He knows where his bread and butter is, Liberal enough for Moderates and Undecideds to vote for, Anti-islamic enough for the people like us to forgive his stances on other issues. This is his wheel house, he wont back down, if anything it would be politically expedient for him to play this up.

I don't think political expediency has anything to do with this (although I agree) . cair is trying to bully him, and Rudy is not a man to be bullied. They are obviously targeting him, and I think they picked a fight with the wrong guy.

Boots on the ground win wars in the final analysis.

Mandy, cool (a little pun there. lol)

Ed, would you be interested in heading up NOAA in my Administration?

Still looking for the ideal place in my Administration for Sharmuta and Mandy!

re: #107 6pat6

Screw the two-party system! Tonight, I announce my candidacy for the President of the United States! I am running on the Continuous Party ticket, and am beholden to no special interest, since I am the only member of my party! I had my convention a few minutes ago, and by unanimous consent of the member present, I won the nomination! So, those of you in write-in states, I'd sincerely appreciate your vote.

My platform - Take the best what Tancredo and Giuliani stand for, and you have me.

Vote ME in '08!

(mad applause ensues!) Thank you, thank you all very much!

("Hail to the Chief" plays...!)

I've got your campaign slogan 6pat6!

"We can't stand pat!"

re: #234 savage_nation

But you didn't say you were sorry for what you said, just that you were sorry that what you said angered someone. That is not the same thing.

Mandy, are you sure your name isn't Blanch?

Rudy's good but John is better

#247 DVol
Why, thankyou!

Sharmuta
I agree.

re: #260 Meremortal

er, maybe!

As a classical conservative of the school of Edmund Burke, I find nothing in Giuliani's views objectionable, quite the contrary.

I admired his work as US Attorney, and as Mayor in cleaning up the city. I must confess, though, that I have been allergic to him since 9-11.

His prancing about, especially with Shrub, was vomit-producing. The nonsense about him as "America's Mayor", in which he doubtless had a large hand, was even worse.

Maybe it's just that he's New York and I'm San Diego (though I went to Yale and am not exactly a peasant), but I find him obnoxious.

re: #229 screaming_eagle Thank You!
Now I really gotta go to bed!

re: #258 6pat6

I wanna be either SPC or TPC director. I think my lack of formal training could be my greatest strength!

Cancer survivors are often wisened, more mellow, don't sweat the small stuff as much...

re: #249 Irene NYC

My feelings exactly.

Ed, you're hired!

Getting almost 90 minutes past my normal work night bed time.
