Iirc the steward (with some flying experience) who miraculously stayed conscious on that Helios-flight that crashed in Greece couldn't find the switch for the radio.
What a shame he did not have his iPhone!
I knew a young guy who was working as a pilot. He had paid for all his own training and was humping his ass off working for a small company, flying. He made less than a waiter at a Mexican restaurant. He loved his work, but he did not know how long he could do it. His wife was basically supporting him.
I saw Mitt Romney in a public bathroom with Larry Craig engaged in perverted sex acts!
(Disclaimer- this sentence uses "saw" in the English Major type of way, just like Mitt Romney uses it. It does not imply that I was there, or that I actually witnessed anything. I 'saw' him in the figurative sense, performing sex on another white, old republican, while wearing magic underwear. The reference of seeing my Mitt in a sexual act and seeing Mitt with Larry Craig is in the sense of this figurative awareness of and recognition of GOP pervertedness. I tried to be as accurate as I can. I have a math degree and really do not understand crap about the written word.)
We do not care what Ron Paul has to say about anything! He is a throwback to the John Birch Society. Other than ending the war, he has no position with which liberals would agree. He only supports the parts of the Constitution he likes, he wants religion in schools and government, he wants to abolish the IRS, he has a history of race problems, he does not want us to help other countries only to leave them. It does not matter how many links you and your buddies post, we will not be supporting him. In fact many of us are so tired of hearing your crap, we will actively work against him in any manner possible- me included. And no, Salon should not be publishing his quotes whenever he says something. We. Do. Not. Care.
You should have offered last place two dinners at your house. Hell, I would cook her three.
Tennis had a match fixing scandal? The only tennis player I can even name now is the tall one who does the Canon commercials with her dog. Actually, I cannot even name her, but I can picture her in my mind.
You never write about triathlon, but then again, neither do people who are actually interested in it.
Iowa elected the most conservative Democrat in the primary. I am not surprised. His color in has nothing to do with it.
I fear Obama because he is easily the most conservative, seems to be pro-business, has little experience, is already using GOP talking points, has pandered to the religious right, is talking about compromise with the GOP (and we know what that means), and was mentored by Joe Lieberman. I do not want a conservative, I want a populist! I want somebody who is going to fight for the people, as in the middle class and not the wealthy. I do not believe Obama will do this.
Will somebody ask Bill Bennett what odds his bookie is giving for Obama to win it all?
There is a long way to go. I want Edwards in the race. He is the guy keeping Clinton and Obama from completely pandering to the right. He is the guy with enough mojo to keep them slightly progressive. Without him, they are completely GOP Lite. If Edwards cannot win, which I hope he can, he at leasts keeps the two Democratic candidates who are receiving the most money from corporations slightly thinking a little about us, the people.
As a long time Atlanta Resident from a family of actual natives, I have to say I find the troubles going on with the Falcons incredibly entertaining. Blank may be the only person in the world who could make Rankin Smith look like a football genius!
I am all for the Pete Carrol Hiring! Then maybe bring back Vic! And who was that receiver who had his house burned down by his girlfriend the rap singer? Bring him out of retirement! If Mr. Blank wants to call me, I have some other great ideas as well! Perhaps we can end up having Rankin Smith declared a saint after a few more years of complete screw-ups!
At least I know how to spell Kentucky...
OK, so you didn't go to school there...
Sir, what a contemtptou, conptemtiou, er...contemtitou, (ah, shit) nasty thing to say!
It was hanging there like a soft pitch up in the strike zone. I had to hit it! I would have said it about any college!
About 85% of new restaurants go out of business the first year. That is really a bad business to go into. Your money is probably gone. If he is filing false reports, you may want to just sign everything over and get out. Talk to a knowledgeable lawyer. You do not want the government coming after you because you were a partner.
Get another real accounting job. You have a skill that can bring in good money, with benefits. Get out of the restaurant and get a full-time job. If you can work the part-time jobs around that, do it.
Regarding your marriage, I have no idea. But it sounds like he has some issues. Stay safe, your kids need you. Maybe the husband should be sleeping in the restaurant office for a while.
I think we know that the actual "rule of law" has a liberal bias.
