There is an exception to every rule.

How does one "abuse" stone? i'm pretty certain these at least required some chipping No. The incedible thing about Egyptian stonework is that they found each stone naturally and fit it to its place according to its size and shape. They had a class of preists called "stonefinders" StoneFinders wandered the desert in search of stones and directed their slaves to those spots. Amazingly, they also used cats to navigate in the desert. They carried large numbers of the felines on their travels. When they got lost, they yanked on their tails and released them. By this method they were able to find their way back home by following the tail-less cats' blood spots in the sand. Awake yet Kevbone?

Just as many people will post in a "Where's Kevbone" thread. Many have passed through these bowels already only to be flushed into the world where everyone smiles when they say what they aren't thinking.

"I still felt immaculately void, a plain vessel washed by a force, huge and beyond me, and my heart lay open but strong. The world seemed a miraculous and mysterious place and I found myself now peaceful, a deep and small part of it." Coming of age through climbing. Most guys just seek their father's approval.

Find any scarabs?

Kevbone, 75% of Dru's posts are more interesting than 80% of yours. You are both fighting a losing battle with addiction.

I once watched a nanny and kid scamper accross a 5.9 slab for 50 ft. They were not at a full run but close. I didn't catch em.

Well said.

If I were a boy. Beyonce

Yes. I feel guilty. You guys have been perfect gentlemen for so long. Bad libtard. Go to your ashram.

I'm still here. No headlines here. Maybe God is waiting until after that preist in Spokane pays off the kids he raped.

Toofless and Wurthless have spoken.

If that was what you were actually doing. Seems you would rather bicker with repubs re: mudslinging. That has nothing to do with anything pertinent to the Nation. Bug. You can stick your fingers in the holes 22Dec - 04Jan. Peace. I'll buy the beer. We can watch it pore out the holes. Get well soon!

The Engles doctrine talks about free market valuation vs fixing prices. Is says nothing about regulation vs deregulation of risk analysis and cash assets balancing. If a bank used all of its cash that we deposited in it to invest and make money, we would have to carefully schedule our withdrawals. Also, the portfolio of the bank should include elements that both make a profit for the bank (the business model has to work for everybody) and provide sufficient liquidity for forseeable and unforseeable liquidity demands (statistically predictable withdrawal and catestrophic events). By deregulating that ratio requirement, banks were allowed to set their own risk/profit ratio at the highest profit setting. Greenspan "Assumed" that banks would have the good sense to keep those expectations within long term fluxuation limits. They did not. Our bankers left the long established practice of planning for the inevitable "unpredictable" catastrophy and extended themselve to "current market risk tollerance". This had nothing to do with "free market" practices or price fixing. 50 years ago, 99% of the bankers in the world would have looked at our last 12 years and shook their heads and planned their strategy for cherry-picking a failed bank's book of business. Alas, they all jumped on board. That is WHY the SEC and FED are supposed to be regulating these things. A wide scale risk is a threat to national security. We have only to look back to the twenties to see why we need federal regulation of risk in the various types of lending institutions. Or go back to the Reagan years when he deregulated the S&L's. They failed almost overnight.

Maybe he's not satisfying her "innermost needs"? Maybe she, umhmmm, "just doesn't feel it anymore"? Or maybe they've "grown apart"? ...Or it could just be the dead body in the garage. :shrug: My x petitioned for divorce and started dating. Once I started dating, she freaked and wanted me back. Yeah right. Back to that nerotic nightmare. If he wants to save the marriage, separate and date. Make it clear that life goes on without her. That reality is very different from the perception of what it "Will" be. Or move on. I am SOOO much happier now. You can see it in my posts. right?

You are not required to read any of this. Nor does anybody care if you think we shouldn't talk about what interests us. In short, your whine was heard and will henceforth be ignored. Why don't you post a TR on your "adventures" in Iraq. You mentioned "taking a bullet" in a thread last week. Did that really happen? Do you care to talk about it? Seriously, post a TR.

We clearly need more of everyone trading slams around here, but do you dispute the premise that McCain ran a disgraceful campaign based in large part on smear and innuendo and that Obama mostly rose above it? Maybe you and TomTom can get together and cite examples of how Obama and Biden were just as lowlife as McCain and Palin? I'd like to see it. Jeeze Matt. That is really nasty. You arrogant f.... There FW, I spared you the keystrokes. But can you answer the question?

PM sent

13 yr old in WWII Cheers guys! I'll buy you a beer if you are in town.

Actually, you may be neglecting one very important point, Obama is a helluva lot smarter than Bush or Clinton. Just because he is picking the people who know how we got here, he is not neccessarily planning on staying the course. He has a mandate to change. He comes from a service to the poor background. Perhaps he is giving these guys the benefit of the doubt for being wrong inadvertantly and moving forward without having to re-tool. This really is no time for "on-the-job training."

Well not meaning to pick nits as I value your posts, but you did say "During the last 30+ years, there has been far more agreement in terms of economic outlook and policy between Democrats and Republicans ". That is broader than the article and led to my reply. So,.....you started it.
