  1. tlg - where are you now?
  2. having suffered a head injury myself I would say a helmet is a good idea for all activities - and daily living as well!
  3. what about Sonny Bono? A helmet might have saved his life matt

    so turn in your old tv or microwave or give 'em away before you buy the new ones. What's so hard about that? Most of it just ends up in Arlington, Oregon

    Your ideas make good sense. I also believe people should be required to turn in their old shit (and NOT to the landfill) before they are allowed to acquire new shit - and that ought to be a law!

    I just want to see more bang for my buck that's all. Let's see our legislators be a little fiscally reponsible. Pouring money on these problems year after year doesn't seem to be working...seems that all we're really funding is public employees pensions

    Rob - I was wondering when you were going to pipe in on this subject - and set me straight! as for school funding, all Oregon need do is look to the north and the state of Washington which has dedicated budget funds for education (unlike Oregon)! and no, I did not vote for the tax increase...wasn't an Oregon resident at the time

    you are correct Jim... however liberal voters approved a special income tax just for Mult. County (Portland Metro Area) residents making it the highest in the state. I think some clever people knew it wouldn't fly elsewhere in the state....and yes there are beautiful libraries in Portland but the schools still whine about not having enough $$$$, prisoners are being let loose, and health care benefits for poor are cut, on and on, etc.

    but have you factored in state and local taxes? For example, here in Oregon, they seem forever on the rise (preying on liberal voters such as those in Mult. County) w/o significant increase in benefits to schools...or social services...which continue to be cut.
  17. now that is cool...and he can play with my pee wee herman doll and my blossom doll...
  18. yep nice Photoshop work...and that's what I do all day but rarely anything as fun as that
  19. It's all those damn marketing grads 25 years ago there pob wasn't even a martketing major... as a culture we're being marketing do death, esp. our children
  20. yep she's on the gravy train...just like the Olsen twins~!
  21. most likely... more power to the whole family then. I'm sure they wouldn't even be in it if they didn't want to... I totaly disagree Chris There are laws about child labor for a reason. We bring our children into the world to love them, not so they will pony up and pay our bills. well I'm sure they are not pointing a gun to her head and telling her "climb or you're dead!" you never know have you ever read the biography of Judy Garland??? Muffy it's 2003 - not 1933!
