Much better at punchlines than sentiment, though.

Reply to You be the judge: supplying alcohol to underaged party goers in Current Events JoeUser Forums

"Not only were they serving alcohol to 15- and 16-year-olds, they misled parents who called to ask about alcohol" Unacceptable. Would've been fine with 8 year sentence. Lying to other parents about their kids is wrong, especially when you're letting them do something illegal. Probably better just to not let kids drink in your house - less jail time that way.

Thanks Mason! Haiku is always fun for me, trying to get my thoughts to fit into the syllables with synonyms.

Accountants, massage therapists, hairdressers, "massage therapists", entreprenuer, inventor, store clerk, security, household employee (butler, nanny, etc), teachers, professors, etc. There are plenty of jobs that won't go away, most in the service industry, mostly because people like people.

Congratulation on the knitting job! We moved recently, and Verizon gave us the same thing - not spliced into the main line. Funny that no-one in my 15 unit building had them. But, they managed to get it hooked up pretty quickly. They gave us a late May date when we had called them in late April to change it. But, it only took a couple days, or a week, or something. It was still pretty pathetic, because they had already told us it would be

Finally Got My Chicken Parm Restaurant Good! in Cooking JoeUser Forums

So I found a recipe at cooks.com for chicken parmesan. I think I could've figured most of it out without the recipe, except the baking times. I suck at baking times. But besides that, I'm a pretty good cook. I normally just avoid baking, but how can you with chicken parmesan? I used store-bought marinara sauce, and wal-mart frozen chicken breast product.

Reply to My Vote Would Not Have Counted in Politics JoeUser Forums

Yeah, but it's the same thing, just in congressional district instead of state. I didn't know that about Nebraska. But, I like the idea of removing votes from the pool entirely instead of giving them to the other candidate. And note, that I didn't think it should be weighted based on percentage of VOTERS, but ELIGIBLE voters, which would make voter turn-out more important. And, to make sure everyone votes, George W. Bush should remain in office unl

Good luck man. My wife and kids are away for a couple weeks, so I am cooking for myself. I just made something up a couple nights ago, and it was good enough to eat. Chicken thighs cut into strips, fried, with diced tomatoes, and spinach, and a can of tomato sauce with some oregano and basil. Tonight I looked up a chicken parmesan recipe, which is my favorite restaurant meal. I'm going to bake it, so you could say it's baked chicken. Hope

Who cares about states anymore? Bah. I would rather we go back to the legislatures electing the senators, because that's how state rights got destroyed. When they were dependent on the states to get them in, they were more careful with what the Feds could actually have their hands on.

My Vote Would Not Have Counted in Politics JoeUser Forums

In the 2004 elections, I did not vote. I did vote in 2006 though, and plan to for the rest of my life, so don't get all "Hey, he didn't vote!" on me. However, when I look at the system for voting for president, and I look at my state, I realize that my vote would not have carried any weight regardless. The person I would have voted for already won my state, therefo

Reply to What's the worst that could happen...? in Business JoeUser Forums

Well, never ON budget, but within 10% is a pretty good goal. And, since your insurance agent is going to throw in a little fudge factor for you anyway, you should be okay even if you're over budget - and if you're over budgeted sales, one would think that would be a good thing for the business?
