Lady, that there thread is two clicks down. Let's not be bringin' in anythin' that disrupts the karma that this here Dave in Texas fella is tryin' to create. If you're mad at Dr. Chemjeff, well, you and he best take it outside. 

I was at the beginning of the Cain thread but decided it was going to get ugly. In the meantime, I painted the ceiling of my garage, went to the grocery store, went to the club pool and swam laps, drank 4 beers, make hubby a steak dinner and a lemon cake. I could have stuck with the thread all day because it had all the elements that intrigue me............

Heh, how are politicians *not* opportunists?  But anyway, most Texas Republicans were Democrats at some point, especially 20 some odd years ago.  Phil Gramm was a Democrat, for instance. Hell, Texas was pretty rock solid Democrat from Reconstruction until George W. Bush (I exaggerate very little).

Gore also ran in 1988.  Perry became a Republican around the same time so many other *Texas* (as opposed to Southern) Dems were making the switch, which was the late 80s and early 90s, or in Perry's case he switched in 1989.

well it's been my experience that among all the sciences, the biology department tends to be the most libtard.  Sorry about that Y-not

and of course since the vast majority of scientific research is funded by the government, scientists are unlikely to think of the government as "bad", really

but it is also true that Republicans have an "anti-science" stigma associated with them.  It is not fair, but it is there.

What's wrong with gladiator movies?

Steevy,

I'm so sorry for your loss.  I lost my dad July 5, 1989 to a car accident.  He was 51 years old.  Not a day goes by that I don't think of him.  As Emily Dickinson once wrote, "time assuages."  You never do forget, though.  Sometimes the funniest things will make me cry even after all these years (hearing his favorite hymn at church, seeing his favorite ice cream in the freezer aisle of the grocery store), random weird things will stop you in your tracks.  At first it all feels like a bad dream, but eventually, the weight of the reality of the finality of death settles on you like a heavy, heavy pall.  I know it is hard, but you will make it through this very difficult time.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Not anti science but very skeptical of it. Scientists don't have a real good batting average. they be wrong a lot. There  are several scientists that are more politicians and cultists than they are scientists and I am not just talking about global warming.

I don't know if it's worse.  It's just different.  On the one hand, he went quickly (was alive and then pronounced dead shortly after his arrival to the hospital) so he didn't suffer long.  On the other hand, he was alone (driving home from work and someone in the opposing lane hit him head on).  You had to watch your mom suffer, but then you were also able to be with her.  I'm not sure if there is a "better" because either way it sucks. 

He had walked me down the aisle in May, and he was gone less than 2 months later.  I felt even worse for my younger siblings who were going to be a freshman and a sophomore in college.  It's really sad because he didn't live to see any of his grandkids born (8 of them total), and my mom has never been the same since his passing. 

I do believe in the hand of God, though.  And I know that God's hand has been upon my family despite all of this.

Look on the bright side.  With those measurement changes, you must have slimmed down some and without losing much, if any, erm, real estate from your , ah, huge tracts of land.

Evolution never comes up because, frankly, the evidence is so clear from genetic data that the organisms evolve there is nothing to debate.  It'd be like physicists sitting around fretting over getting people to accept carbon dating

See what I mean. Now I think that statement is BS. I don't know of anyone who doesn't think organisms evolve. I know a bunch of people that don't think fish walked out of the ocean and changed into humans though and there is no evidence that they have.

That part of evolution is just like religion, you just have to believe it happened.

Her comfortable casual stuff is called Barley There. No wire and very comfortable, so she says.

I wish they made my real size.  Back when I was wearing the wrong size, I wore that brand but with an underwire.  They have the easiest system for changing the bra into X-back from the regular style (there are these awesome plastic "snaps" on the straps.  No other bra brand has them.  Every other brand, if you want to convert it, is a lot more complicated.

The spazztic male has to work on coordinating his hand movements and the little hop needed to execute the manuever.  Like good comedy, it's all in the timing.

be careful - you can get into some serious shit if you start mailing packages labeled 'hazardous' to congresscritters

kbdabear - you are so right.  I'm part of a new "lost generation" of 50+ professionals who have been out of work for over a year with few prospects.  I have five friends and neighbors and a sister-in-law in the same boat right now.   There's no economic recovery for people our age, and most of us have kids in or about to go to college.  A high school friend of mine is actually homeless right now, she had to give away her dog and put all her stuff in storage.  She is fighting the VA right now over GI Bill benefits for her son who did two tours in Iraq. 

What chaps my ass is people my age who are retired already as firefighters or EMTs with fat pensions.  I'm looking at working until I'm dead, if I ever do work again.

You are double worse than Hitler and Stalin's baby!

well I do need a good "Friday night" outfit, where I can go out and look like a classy guy without looking like a nerdy dumbass - I've already learned that I have to lose the glasses but the rest of it, I have to learn what to wear

What's wrong with glasses?  If you get some newer frames, you might be ok.  I think Lasik is a little extreme and contacts are a pain in the butt. 

Friday night outfit?  You'd be best off getting separates you can mix and match so that you don't have an "outfit".  If you show up at the same bar every Friday night in the same thing, people may think that's kind of funny.  They'd be like "There's that guy again.  He's wearing his dating uniform.  It must be Friday!" 

Your best bet would be to have a trusted friend who's a girl who has a clue about clothes who could go shopping with you.  (A lot about clothes too is having the right fit, the right color,  and the right style for your body shape).  The next best thing would be to go to a nice department store and make an appt. with a personal shopper.  Now that person may try to pressure you into buying stuff you don't want to, so that's why it's best to go with a friend who is honest and knows a thing or two about clothes. 

If you are ever out here in Seattle again, I'm sure PGIS and I could hook you up with some stuff that would look good on you.  Are there any fashion savy moronettes who live close to chemmy?

So you land that hot coke machine at Appleby's lead her to your table.  Pick up the menu and put on your glasses at which point she runs screaming from the establisment.  Or you get that hot post into your corvette, don't put on your glasses and hit a post that's not hot.  Neither option sounds good.

You just need to be who you are.

Mariners shirts don't go over so big in KC.

Based on my zero experience, I would suggest not going crazy. If you are uncomfortable in how you look, you probably won't be better off.

I'd just suggest you go upscale and spend way more than you normally would and get something that fits.The separates idea is a good one.

Amusing date story

I was in a bar today reading a book and a couple were meeting for the first time at the next hi-top. They were chattering away and he asked her why she never married and she aswered 'Oh the guys I pick are such riff raff, like musicians...."

The guy had told her that he was a musician a few minutes before.

I have astigmatism.

Me too, as well as nearsightedness.  Mr. RB today told me that he heard lasik is now available for astigmatism.  Swell.  So they could fix my first two problems but now I need reading glasses!  Gah!

How about some examples?

Some moron said that Singapore was practically the same as Indonesia when it comes to Islam --- never mind that Singapore is 75% ethnic Chinese and less than 15% Islamic, while Indonesia is 1% ethnic Chinese and 85% Islamic.

Another moron said that most Pakistanis who fled from India during the Partition were in the "untouchable caste".  Never mind that only Hindus have castes, and that all non-Hindus are outside the caste system and therefore (nominally) "untouchables". Never mind that a particular Hindu Indian community defined by by heredited occupations (the Dalits)  were regarded as untouchable...to some Hindus..  Never mind that Englishmen were also untouchables under the Hindu system.  Never mind that great gobs of Muslim Indians lived in majority Muslim states at Partition, and do so (to a lesser extent) to this day.)

Carry on smartly.
