  - This one is tough, cause our core group go there often for AMA meetings -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 8, 12:43 2
    - Are AMA meetings during the day? If so, look for events/places that are normally only available during the day, that's they'd normally miss out on -- nm - ty97 Jan 8, 12:44 1
      - yeah...that city pass thing should help with that. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 8, 12:51

- I've of two minds on this: 1) We should certainly be critical and be very careful with this spending. 2) This is a different environemnt then the - ty97 Jan 8, 12:34 3
  - the thing is, the government should overspend in recessions, and run a surplus in expansion - tRuMaN Jan 8, 12:37 2
    - I agree with this, but that doesn't mean we should run will-nilly deficits. We must be smart about it regardless. -- nm - ty97 Jan 8, 12:38 1
      - oh, I wasnt saying "willy-nilly" but controlled responses - tRuMaN Jan 8, 12:40
- does that include the full banking bailout stuff, of which 1/2 has not been spent yet? -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 8, 12:33
- And don't forget the tax cuts! - Strongbad Jan 8, 12:31 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - I'm used to thinking stimulus = spending, but yes you're correct -- nm - Strongbad Jan 8, 12:36
- I'd love to see a graph of non-defense annual spending for each Dept over the last 50 years. -- nm - Max Jan 8, 12:31
LIR: So far as gym annoyances go, "grunting" is probably the least. - con_carne Jan 8, 12:26 15
- Yeah. That's what your iPods are for, people. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 8, 12:40
- they installed 4 LCDs on the wall, for some reason 3 are tuned to the same soap opera and the end is ESPN news - zeitgeist Jan 8, 12:30 2
  - bring your own remote. -- nm - loosilu Jan 8, 12:33
  - [deleted]
- yeah, grunting never struck me as an issue. -- nm - Andie Jan 8, 12:29 2
  - When it's bad, it's very bad. -- nm - nubby Jan 8, 12:30 1
    - I don't mind it so much as the ones who are loud. One guy grunts *loudly* on every rep. - lileve Jan 8, 12:32
- Annoyance is people resting on the machine between sets and there is only one of those machines. Or people switching on and off of one machine. -- nm - lileve Jan 8, 12:28 4
  - [deleted] 2
    - I am so glad my gym is small and usually pretty empty. I hardly ever need to wait for anything - decline Jan 8, 12:40
    - Ok, I will ask if I can butt in next time. Good idea. -- nm - lileve Jan 8, 12:34
  - Yeah, machine hogs are the worst. Very very rude. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 8, 12:29

- ROCCO!!! - kelly Jan 8, 12:28
- That's a good cheap bat for a 4th outfielder. Sox are really acting like a medical recovery safehaven this year. -- nm - TFox Jan 8, 12:23 16
  - [deleted] 15
    - If it really is a misdiagnosis to the extent I've heard, then yeah. You'd almost wish you could find him more than 350 ABs. -- nm - TFox Jan 8, 12:25 5
      - [deleted]
      - well, Drew will be out for at least 50 games -- nm - CQ Jan 8, 12:26 3
        
        There's that, there's spelling a probable Jacoby slump at some point, and there are the "keep Papi's wrist fresh" DH days too. -- nm - TFox Jan 8, 12:28 2
        
        I think it's still up in the air if he can play 7 or 8 games in a row -- nm - CQ Jan 8, 12:30 1
        
        Rocco? I doubt he'll do that once the whole season. -- nm - TFox Jan 8, 12:31
    - they're saying it's something new now. Not mitochondrial whatever, but something else -- nm - CQ Jan 8, 12:25 8
      - and the new thing isn't supposed to be as severe. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 8, 12:26 7
        
        plus, he's in the right place for medical treatment. -- nm - CQ Jan 8, 12:27 6
        
        they really...really must have faith in Dr. Gill. - Mel Profit Jan 8, 12:28 5
        
        Only issue left is catcher, and that is barely an issue with the lack of a Tek market. -- nm - TFox Jan 8, 12:30 4
        
        yep...kelly can wear the 'Tek shirt for one more year I think. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 8, 12:31 3
        
        I think the speculation after Smoltz that Buchholz should look at Texas real estate is apt, however. - TFox Jan 8, 12:33 2
        
        Absolutely. - Mel Profit Jan 8, 12:37 1
        
        I certainly prefer to keep Bowden over Buchholz at this point. - TFox Jan 8, 12:38

- I've received my final paycheck from one Temp agency, and haven't been approved by the new Temp agency yet. - JaxSean Jan 8, 12:22 1
  - (so I have negative vacation hours!) -- nm - JaxSean Jan 8, 12:23

- Saira as default. -- nm - Amy Jan 8, 12:29
- Long A as in air. -- nm - mara Jan 8, 12:27
- same exact pronunciation as Sarah. -- nm - loosilu Jan 8, 12:25
- Sair-uh -- nm - pmb Jan 8, 12:25
- I've never heard it pronounced "S/are/uh". -- nm - nubby Jan 8, 12:24 5
  - I heard it as I was leaving a voicemail and almost said out loud "Sareuh? That's just wrong." -- nm - Max Jan 8, 12:27
  - really? I hear both. Spelling does not seem to matter. -- nm - loosilu Jan 8, 12:25 3
    - My experience (which may not be relevant here) is that Sarah rhymes with 'fairer' and Sara rhymes with 'Tara' -- nm - Roger More Jan 8, 12:27 2
      - which is pronounced [war on] Terra. -- nm - Max Jan 8, 12:29 1
        
        I should say 'rhymes with Zara' - I forget that Tara is pronounced differently in the US -- nm - Roger More Jan 8, 12:31
- Smile. -- nm - David Jan 8, 12:24 2
  - Storms are brewin' in your eyes. -- nm - nubby Jan 8, 12:24 1

- Say-rah. -- nm - TaurusII Jan 8, 12:22
- First a like 'bat', second a like 'duh'. -- nm - TFox Jan 8, 12:21 3
  - rhymes with 'Farrah'? -- nm - Roger More Jan 8, 12:25 2
    - Yup. -- nm - krusty Jan 8, 12:28 1
      - Well when I pronounce it. -- nm - krusty Jan 8, 12:28
- I think I prefer Sarah. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 8, 12:21 1
  - Oh, I thought you meant spelling. For pronunciation, the first one. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 8, 12:21
- The latter. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 8, 12:21
LIR: Loyola, having been there when my mom and my twin brother quit smoking, I heartily support your quitting smoking. Go you! -- nm - con_carne Jan 8, 12:20 11
- Word! Keep it up! I hope to be a quitter too this year. -- nm - krusty Jan 8, 12:22 5
  - just do it befor the yanks season starts :/ -- nm - ty97 Jan 8, 12:24 4
    - I'm done when my current pack runs out. I've been cutting back over the last month. - krusty Jan 8, 12:30 3
      - excellent! -- nm - ty97 Jan 8, 12:35 2
        
        Thanks and cograts on your diet going so well. -- nm - krusty Jan 8, 12:37 1
        
        *congrats* -- nm - krusty Jan 8, 12:37
- I do as well. Qutting smoking sucks for a little bit, but is so worth it. -- nm - ty97 Jan 8, 12:22
- Thanks man, you're a good egg ;) -- nm - Loyola Jan 8, 12:22 1
  - Though, I'd be lying if I said either of them had a tough time of it. - con_carne Jan 8, 12:23
- That's the next goal, post-diet. -- nm - TFox Jan 8, 12:20 1
  - Sweet -- nm - con_carne Jan 8, 12:22
LIR: I don't grunt. I do more reps rather than add more weight. -- nm - lileve Jan 8, 12:19 23
- I do that too, add weight only after a month, remember muscles build faster than tendons and connective tissue -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 8, 12:25
- [deleted] 21
  - I thought more reps with a lighter weight will cut your body while more weight will bulk you up. -- nm - krusty Jan 8, 12:32 1
    - [deleted]
  - Grunting it totally unncessary. A louder than normal exhale? Sure, but a "ARGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" is just ridiculous. -- nm - Shaun Jan 8, 12:21 12
    - It's like you're the Monica Seles of your gym -- nm - Roger More Jan 8, 12:30
    - sometimes a little vocalization can't be helped. their asinine rule doesn't differentiate, though. -- nm - loosilu Jan 8, 12:30 3
      - Fuck. Those. Doofuses. -- nm - TFox Jan 8, 12:32 2
        
        maybe you *are* a little oversensitive. just sayin. -- nm - loosilu Jan 8, 12:34 1
        
        I just like labelling and hating on people. -- nm - TFox Jan 8, 12:34
    - [deleted]
    - Unless it's UAI. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 8, 12:22 5
      - I don't know that acronym at this time. -- nm - Shaun Jan 8, 12:24 3
        
        since I can't say such things in the subject anymore - oblique Jan 8, 12:26 2
        
        Wow...who knew it was too much to ask for the littlest bit of discretion in the subject line? nm -- nm - Jim Jan 8, 12:33 1
        
        TT is nothing if not repetative. -- nm - nubby Jan 8, 12:40
      - I'm not sure what kind of gym you go to but... -- nm - oblique Jan 8, 12:23
  - I can't believe that people actually go to the gym and have the nerve to sweat!!! -- nm - Jim Jan 8, 12:21 5
    - [deleted] 4
      - I agree though that if you're a super duper sweater...it would be real easy and very nice to carry a towel with you - Jim Jan 8, 12:35 2
        
        everyone should wipe down. -- nm - loosilu Jan 8, 12:37

She knew which fork to use, but she couldn't dance. So he hipped her to the funk in exchange for the finance. -- nm - Jim Jan 8, 12:17 1
