Thought this was incredibly timely and relevant: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20141210131918-10136502-why-mcdonald-s-is-dying?trk=tod-posts-post1-ptlt

Starters Ricky Rubio (ankle), Nikola Pekovic (foot, wrist), Kevin Martin (wrist) and Thad Young (death of his mother) all missing extended time has just completely devastated the team. They started out 2-2, and those two losses to Memphis and Chicago were by a combined five points! But then...

^ ...or why it's colder with less sunlight in the Northern Hemisphere this time of year. ;)

Former doctor in our town went to work at a clinic in another town, and put the house we bought on the market. Sat vacant with no offers for nine months. Appraised for $18,000 more than their asking price (they had just built a new 2+ car garage at the back of the property two years earlier)...

Nah. Just when I'm laughing with 6-8 other posters in the FFA about how easy it is to :fish: in these waters. ;)

Spent a month in Boston about two months ago, and went down to the Faneuil Hall area three times. Never once was hassled from folks begging for money, though we did enjoy thoroughly the pizza in that little area across the plaza-like area from said Hall. Outside Harvard though?! Couldn't walk...

^ This. [/thread]

Most of the folks I know who subscribe to the "crying wolf" theory on this sort of thing tend to be Christian, and believe that "the end times" are near. Will even cite scripture telling you as much. Basically, their attitude is "since Jesus is coming back soon regardless, let's just party...

Let's run with that, jon_mx. Starting with numbers which have no basis in reality. Please, you have the floor. Enlighten the rest of us sheeple who simply haven't been given access to the truth...the same information that you have. Do some good for the planet by helping the rest of us lost...

It's not jon_mx's fault. The clock in his house still reads 11:58-11:59, so there's PLENTY of land, water, oil and other resources for the next several hundred years, right?! ;)

That deserves a "wow?" :shrug: Unless your "wow" was to imply Ditkaless Wonders winning the Captain Obvious award for the evening?

Rather than lump everyone into "black" or "white," "liberal" or "conservative," it'd be interesting to see a series of questions that people can answer...issue to issue. I think you get a LOT of people here who would call themselves an "independent," that others of us would call a pretty...

Sex life with the wife okay, Woz? Communication with her solid too? Just seems to me that the shark move would be to be completely honest with her...tell her you feel like the masseuse is coming on to you a bit...but that you're not interested in her sexually. Remind her that you would...

All good guesses. But the correct answer was conservatives. Fringe-Right, Fringe-Christian evangelical Conservatives. Thanks for playing though! :thumbup:

Fixed. HTH. :)

You know what would REALLY help protect all living things on this planet?! One particular species not breeding like rabbits, consuming ungodly amounts of resources...while turning what's left (that said species hasn't consumed) into its own landfill. But never you mind about that...since God...

:P Maybe folks could get Sally Struthers crying on an infomercial that shows lots of baby calves with their mothers. Show them up to their mid-sections in "poo," cold, wet, shivering...then show as said calve's mother is hauled off to the slaughterhouse...with Sally PLEAING for donations to...

Wait a second...you can OWN family members?! I'm telling my daughters when they get home from school today that I have fields that need to be plowed. H'yah mule....H'YAH!!! :P

I'm with you, Otis. I love dogs, cats, etc., and about the only living thing I'll kill are plants (food, weeds), rodents and insects. That said, people >>>>>>> pets. Others are correct in saying it doesn't need to be one or the other! But I personally have never...

I got to attend the event in person. Was a GIANT buzzkill that the "dunk contest" was all of 3-4 minutes of players just dunking the ball on 3-on-0 drills to end the practice. But that said, some thoughts on the Wolves after the event: 1. All but Kevin Martin couldn't hit the backboard from...
