If the jobs at the low end of the sprectrum paid enough money to live on, people would take the jobs. Allowing for the guest worker program allows businesses to pay less than the "going rate" for labor. Plus, it's a mighty slippery slope.

So what you're saying is that we don't have enough workers to fill all of the jobs? Got to beg to differ on that.

Um there are no pictures of that, just a lot of guys looking uncomfortable and giving us a wide radius.

Commercial dryer, get it all the way dry, past dry almost, tennis balls your choice, though they are hard on baffles.

The internet is such an amazing thing. Why is Gary wearing that silly outfit agian?

The new book, The Beckoning Silence is languishing half-read, next to my bed. I haven't picked it up in at least a month. Not the riveting read that Touching the Void is, IMO.

No, I'm not doing it today either. Sorry dude.

Second that on the Tiger Milks, those don't choke me and they taste ok. I'm anti-energy gels, but like the Honey Stinger stuff, basically honey with a few things added to it.

Look, it's not a drinking party any more. It's an event to foster the stewardship of the vertical environment.

well, it looks the most like Minx, but I'm the puker in this crowd, unfortunately. If only I could find a way to profit from it...hmmmm.

chatt ttiimmee!

It was good fun, I'm glad I went. Lots of cool people, everyone was getting along swimmingly. I think some people might be a wee bit hung over today!

Knew I'd forget someone, sorry!

Hope this isn't perceived as thread drift, but I've noticed, at least it seems like, there are less snowplows everywhere these days. Less on the highways near the passes, and virtually no plowing in the city when we had our micro-dump in town couple weeks back. Wondering if this service may have seen major cutbacks a la Eymanization. Anyone got the 411 on that?

Muffy, Minx, Jules, maryk, HollyC, Sayjay, v, many more I can't think of right now.... anyway it's pretty easy to tell which ones are actual real-life gurls.

Okay, when's Round Two start?

Dude, what the hell were you doing up so early today? Muffy and company are doing some Ballard things today.

Yah, that'll just be teriff.

Back on topic re Bush/Pickering:

Don't worry guys, I probably won't show.

Dood, we are so driving seperately to the super secret thinger (if I get off my ass and go) if you guys are going out to Beth's at 4am! Don't step on my head when you get back to the house, K?

Recommended to me by another cc.commer as a long-term solution to subtalar arthritis, causing, well you've all probably heard the story, messed up body mechanics. Costs a couple thou, takes time, not covered by my HMO, hurts a lot. May or may not work. I'd pay a couple thou for a long-term or permanent solution, but it's a lot to ask if it is not going to do anything much. Thoughts? Stories? Results? Testimonials? Don't be shy on details.

Only catbird would post like catbird on the post like catbird thread!

Well I don't even think margarine should be consdered "food", I was just looking for a little validation.

Carbs is power food. If I find myself getting too fat, it's from eating too much and/or doing too little. I agree with Dustin that if you are going to spend your life on the couch waiting for the time to die, then the Atkins diet may be a way to go. What's worse for you: butter or margarine?
