  1. okay, i didn't read your comments that way at all. thanks for clarifying.
  2. that would make him the opposite of pujols (except for the age thing).
  3. WTH. how does a teenager acquire all of that? when i was in high school i bought four condoms and felt like an absolute boss for it. this? otherworldly.
  4. good news, i already have it on DVD (not kidding). make sure the RV you take without permission from lockup or the motor pool rent for us has a DVD player in it.
  5. btw, @Dochalo, check the title of this thread again. i expect some swag from you.
  6. i don't know what that hand symbol means. what is it?
  7. of course not, but i'm going to make sure my kid is not going to continue to play with sticks or stockpile them or convert them to fully automatic sticks or do anything that presents a danger to himself or to others. i'm going to look for reasonable things to do to prevent him from causing harm.
  8. what a dooshy thing to say. i'm a teacher. you want to arm me? okay, where am i keeping this gun? do i keep it strapped to my side at all times? if so, that's going to present some issues, not to mention the psychological effect of having kids exposed to guns in their classrooms all the time. do i keep it locked up in a cabinet or in my office? if so, will i be able to get to it in time to be able to use it? and how am i supposed to suddenly turn off my compassion for others to immediately engage in a gun battle to the death of someone so close to the age of the kids in my classroom, and likely a former student of mine? if teachers are armed, it's likely kids will know this. where is the gun during the evenings and weekends? is that going to present a new problem of break-ins by those looking to secure a weapon on the cheap? i'd much rather see security tightened up in all ways that are necessary to secure the campus first and foremost. arming teachers seems like a move of desperation, a last resort, and i can tell you that me and my colleagues would resist this greatly. and i haven't even gotten into the spiritual conundrum of whether this is a biblically sound practice to follow on a Christian campus like mine.
  9. good morning from wayne la pierre. https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/22/politics/wayne-lapierre-cpac-speech-nra/index.html
  10. i get that the canadiens were upset about losing, but would like to have seen them be a bit more gracious in receiving their medals. one chick even took hers off as soon as it was put around her neck. no need for that.
  11. guilty as charged. i'll punish myself later.
  12. one of the things i've seen repeated several times with this latest massacre involves arming teachers. here's a response i found from one teacher. i agree with her.
  13. same here. why don't we go together? you can drive the RV and i'll put together a collection of kenny loggins' greatest hits.
  14. rooney, the US goalie, is only 20 years old. yowza. boy, she was money in OT.
  15. a few years ago we were in north carolina. through a mutual friend, we were able to meet with george beverly shea at his home. there was an outside chance of meeting rev. graham, but it didn't work out. he'd been in a wheelchair and wasn't really receiving visitors. meeting with GBS was a pretty awesome moment for us. billy was a good man and a lot of people came to know Jesus because of him.
  16. i choose #4. thanks, lou. only a true friend would offer such awesome gifts.
  17. i guess it's a real compliment that we keep finding really solid backup goalies. it's also kind of a pain that we can't hang on to them very long. i know absolutely zero about these two from phoenix. hope they're able to contribute when called on.
  18. outstanding game. WTG, ladies!!!! US ladies really pushed the play in OT. thought they had it won a couple of times then.
  19. be thankful we didn't start the countdown around day 70...
  20. i'd be disappointed if you didn't, TORS.
