Not shocking since Ralph Wilson also did.

Hence my remark he lacks Simons nasty streak.

Beer Ball has taken over for Simon in warnings very well, He lacks Simons flare for nasty PM's to go with them though.

Wise arss.

DC Toms vanity is such that he quote's himself on his sig line. Enough said.

Seems not many of you work at work. Turn on the TV, check out the paper cruse the internet. Nice.

I think you're up to 10 Pats posts a day. But you're the rational one.

Yeah I bet he's scared silly. Two players! The NFL's over! Done!

49 Today snow melting up in the mountains bears out early. Looks like incredible spring on tap.

How often in a day do you post on the Pats? 7-8 times? But you're the rational one?

If you find your habit of changing rules after the fact rational God help us all if you're ever a judge.

Sure are. Like the way they handle the Patriots.

The Tebow haters will flip over all the God references.

I don't see the Tuel tie in.

Yeah he's a real liability. http://twitpic.com/ec8270

Excellent God father reference. "I knew it was you Fredo."

I keep a cash reserve for emergency's [roof blew off whatever] and don't miss credit at all.

I don't care. My credit buying days are over. Cash for every thing. Its not as bad as some think. That's how my parents lived.

They never did to me. But they never sued me. Discover did[oddly by far the smallest of my CC debt $1700] and got some small % of my Alaska permanent fund check but no wages. Discover sued me themselves, not a collection agency. I don't believe a CA can sue, or by the time they get it it's too late. I got several letters from CAs stating the debt was to old to sue and offering to settle for a small %. I couldn't believe they told me it was to late to sue it might be a legal thing. IRS, child support and maybe others like gov backed student loans completely different. They can and will clean out your bank account.

If you're willing to kiss off your credit just stop paying on the cards. I did and after 3 years got a letter from Chase they had forgiven a $11,000 debt . I had to pay tax's on it as income but that was far less then the original debt.

Then can ether?

Qustion-if the Sabers get Eichel can he play on the big club right away or is he too young?

No problem. I rarely miss a opportunity to show off my hard earned aeronautical knowledge.

That's getting lame.

As MN explained it's 18000ft above sea level [MSL-Mean Sea Level] indicated on the altimeter. Both the Denver plane and the Buffalo plane are the same height in relation to each other at 18000 MSL but the Denver plane, flying above 5000ft terrain is 13000ft AGL [Above Ground level.] The reason both altimeters are set at 29.92 baro is because all flights at that level are IFR [instrument flight rules] and every planes altimeter must read the same MSL. A altimeter is just a pressure gauge with a scale reading in MSL. The higher you go the lower the barometric pressure. The ground has nothing to do with it-a plane resting on top of mt McKinley would read 20000ft on the altimeter. There is a special altimeter setting procedure if your departure baro is above 31.00" but it's been 10+ years since I took my written pilots test and that escapes me. Rate of descent is measured in MSL. Trim for a 1000 ft per minute descent and you will maintain that till you hit the ground. Planes only "fall out of the sky" if a wing is knocked off or airspeed is insufficient to provide wing lift[stall.]
