Why is it that when the dogs are outside, they're sitting quietly or even snoozing; then I let them in and they immediately start rough-housing? -- nm - mara Aug 5, 09:53 3
- cause the dogs think of the house as an amusement park that's been closed. - dogbert183 Aug 5, 09:57
- fresh air and sun shine tames the beasties? -- nm - JenBro Aug 5, 09:57

- So *anyway* what is the Republicans'/conservatives' alternate plans for healthcare reform? Or do they really just want to keep healthcare as is? - con_carne Aug 5, 09:55 5
  - [deleted] 4
    - well that's a start, I guess. -- nm - znufrii Aug 5, 10:03 2
      - Would be nice if they would even pretend to have a plan that actually addresses the problem at hand, though. -- nm - znufrii Aug 5, 10:05 1
        
        exactly...it's corporate welfare...again. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 5, 10:07

- It means they hate whatever they're doing and is basically having a full blown wig out. -- nm - Loyola Aug 5, 09:51

Did I read that game update right? Jon Neise just got hurt covering first base? - musubi Aug 5, 09:42 11
- And yet...the relief pitcher manages to triple in 2 runs. Oh Kyle Lohse...what has become of you. -- nm - Jim Aug 5, 09:51 1
  - Of course, it's part of the gypsy curse. Horrible injury: but give Omar false hope through fluke occurance. - musubi Aug 5, 09:58
- He was probably running from Prince Fielder. -- nm - David Aug 5, 09:45 4
  - I have never in my adult life said this, but: I just want the season just to be over. - musubi Aug 5, 09:54

    - [deleted] 1
      - I just hope that Omar doesn't get let off the hook just because of the injuries. - musubi Aug 5, 09:56
LYC - I am in mandy land - it is taking a doctor's office 4 to 6 weeks to issue me a refund of an overpayment of $ 50 - Epiphany Aug 5, 09:41 8
- you should ask them what their accounting system charges for late fees on balances over 30 days and then ask for the same applied to your refund - - JenBro Aug 5, 09:48 5
  - maybe this makes my case less sympathetic but I paid this bill out with payments - Epiphany Aug 5, 09:51 3
    - not necessarily - it still seems excessive ( given today's economy especially I think ) - it's not like 50 bucks is a small amount of money ( at least - JenBro Aug 5, 09:55 2
      - it's a nice amount to me and SM has just put us on a forced budget - I am askeerit. - Epiphany Aug 5, 10:01 1
        
        this is prolly not the time or place to rant about this but ... doesn't it seem like businesses are on auto pilot so much of the time - you would - JenBro Aug 5, 10:07
  - put in writing that you charge a late fee for anything paid after 30 days and drop it off with them. - dogbert183 Aug 5, 09:51
- plus shipping and handling. - Fuzzy Aug 5, 09:43 1
  - my thing is: it'is $ 50, not $ 300 or $ 3000 - to a doctor's office that is not a lot. - Epiphany Aug 5, 09:45

      - This is where Vince has dropped teh ball so badly the last 15 years. Getting rid of male managers/mouthpieces. - Will Hunting Aug 5, 09:56 1
        
        Yeah...they did a little with Heyman being the mouthpiece for Lesnar a few years ago (which was great)...but I really wish they'd have Flair do it -- nm - Remlik Aug 5, 09:58
- I'm convinced that vince is now running an experiment to find out how far they have to go to get fans to stop watching - dogbert183 Aug 5, 09:48 2
