Used to be called "deer slugs" or "pumpkin ball" I had some 16 gauge ones for deer hunting 100 years ago. Basically a 2" long cylinder of lead sticking into and out of the end of a shell. That would probably even stop a bear or elephant at close range. |

Since you had already seen that one you must have already seen the previous response to your false claim that guy had a depleted taser and that the cops knew it was spent. You like to comment about how people in law enforcement are prejudiced, but you just can't get past your own prejudices. I have spoken in the past about my issues with videos like this being posted. People like to think that videos don't lie. That may be, but too many people are incapable of reviewing them honestly and accurately. You have shown yourself to be a prime example of this in your claim that the laser was spent and that the cops knew it. The video from which who imagined those pieces of disinformation tell a completely different story. The taser he took from the cop was clearly fully loaded. It's not even confusing if you watch it honestly. You still can't acknowledge that you were wrong or apologize for your false allegation about the cops. Instead, you are going to blame it on a confusing melee. It was not confusing to me or Ed, only to you. And now you have a bee in your bonnet about me not being nice enough when I pointed out that you were lying. |

It's a good day to be alive, still again! :) According to the Obama White House records, I turn age 109 in about 1.5 hours. Never thought I would live that long and still be in good health! :) Nothing special planned for today. Just a nice weather day and I did do a bike ride along the ocean this morning. It was a nice pre-sunrise dawn. Windows open now for fresh air but will turn to AC later as it's supposed to get up to 93F later. uggghh No special meal planned but I did come up with a first early meal. Scrambled eggs and toast. Towards evening, I'll cook something good but still don't know what. I rarely plans meals until an urge hits me. I do have a "birthday donut" saved for today. Like a large glazed one with white icing on top. yum |

I haven't seen one for year!!! I've never been a "car" person. Just wanted something reliable to take me to and back from anywhere. The *only* one I ever saw and really desired was a used 1982 BMW 325. I almost bought it until a neighbor of mine that owned one informed me of the very high cost of parts and repairs here in the US. http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/848/561/2117780001_large.jpg?v=1 Then a few years later I did buy a slightly used Volvo station wagon (the smaller one) and it was pretty cool. I bought it on Friday, fully insured it on Monday, and my daughter totalled it on Tuesday. Splat! |

Thanks! Grilling a yogurt coating sounds a bit messy and wrong. I would maybe grill the cauliflower then spread on the coating afterwards? |

Are you saying we're buying expensive face lifts and cutting-edge cancer drugs for Medicaid patients? Cindy Hamilton |

Not all doctors. My husband's doctor barely breaks even in his private practice. He lives on the proceeds of his investments. The wife of a guy at work is a private-practice doctor and she's not rolling in dough. Without his health insurance, they'd have been in strife last winter when he had a heart attack shoveling snow.

I always do my work before any fun > stuff, because I don't like working with a deadline breathing in my > neck. Same here. When I get a job, I'll get right on it and try to finish early. Funny: I've always liked to take my birthday off as a personal day. When working for others I did that but they would always be annoyed. I didn't get paid for it, I didn't care either. I just wanted that day off. Once I started my own business, I thought, "OK dammit, now *I'M* the boss and no more problem taking my birthday off from now on." In the next 20 years of being self-imployed, I ended up working on my damn birthday almost every year. I was always in the middle of a job and taking off wouldn't have been cool to do with the customers that just wanted me to finish up. sigh Bottom line: even when you're self-employed, you still always have a boss - your current customer. |

Most of my life I've had health insurance. Where they got me was with the annual deductible amount and they kept raising that every few years. I've never even needed to go to a doctor very often so every time I went, they filed the insurance. Then I would get a letter saying "Your charge has been applied to your annual deductible." Then I would have to pay the doctor the full amount anyway. When I became self-employed with my own policy, it started out very reasonable. About $87 per month and $100 annual deductible per person for "subscriber and one minor." No prescription coverage either. It was a very basic policy with no options available. 12 years later it had progressively risen to $427 per month and $750 deductible. In those 12 years, I paid them over $45K and they never covered anything. I paid the premiums and paid the doctors and insurance co paid for nothing. That's when I quit that nonsense. That's when I took a big risk and went without health insurance for 15 years. If I could have afforded to keep going, I would have ended up paying them probably about $100K at my older age, plus still would have paid the doctors as my annual deductible wasn't met. Big risk but it paid off. My only doctor visit during that time cost me $150 plus $30 prescription. I would have had to pay that anyway. Oh but then Obama care did cost me $800 per year for not having insurance. Good plan. Nice extra tax on the working poor. Now I have Medicare. Just part A and part B. That's actually better coverage than when I paid for private insurance. I won't ever go for all those extra parts. That's the private insurance companies coming back to fleece you again and offering you all kinds of nifty deals. Bullshit! They really are "vultures." Sorry about the long post but my story is a real "you were there" story from someone that got screwed by our healthcare system. I doubt many know about this side of the coin. |

I do buy fresh kale occasionally but for a mix (with dressing) like this product, I'd try one first to see if it's worth making my own later. Or maybe just buying it rarely? It's a commercial mix. Probably has some extra chemicals added. |

Good chance nither for part of it. he just was not coming across well to me and his attitude was fishy and a bit incoherent as well. the other person had the police officer there and a lawyer representing them. the lawyer was straightforward and didn't attempt any tricks that i could tell (during jury selection). songbird |

You don't even know which post office serves me! And it couldn't possibly be replaced by then. It needs to be ordered and it takes at least three weeks to arrive. Plus the 28th is Sunday, Pinocchio. |
