ICanSleepWhenI'mDead

It's more like I'm willing to at least initially check out most anything, hoping it will be good - - because the really good sci-fi stuff can be pretty imaginative. And imaginative doesn't correlate with how big the budget is. There's definitely stuff that I turn away from, though. I think the SyFy channel is a mixed bag. Some stuff is pretty good, but there's also stuff so bad it's comical. I guess I keep hoping for a repeat of my "Terminator" experience. At the time I was unattached and had a job that required very long hours, and I lived near a $1 cinema that showed first run movies on a delayed basis just before they were released on VHS. So sometimes after work I'd spend a buck and go see the 10 pm showing of whatever was playing there to decompress. I stumbled onto the original Terminator movie one night, which I had never heard of, and was blown away by it. Anyway, I hope Continuum thrives - - I like it a lot. If you see much of it, I'd be curious what you think

I realize that, but some people don't read entire threads. Like you, I felt better disclosing it.

I've watched it from the start (although I'm a few episodes behind at the moment) and like it, but I'm a sci-fi fan in general (the genre, not the channel). You might get a less biased opinion from someone else.

No worries - - I just thought I should mention the gift certificate part for full disclosure.

The "list" subscription price has now dropped to $9.99 - - if you use my referral link below you are supposed to get 10% off that price (and I get a $10 gift certificate): http://preseason.nfl.com/nflpl/raf/R3KP9BVA8HPD

I guess that's goin' around - - - Darryl couldn't find Lake Erie this morning.

What color is a mirror?

Odds of him beating the rap may be slim, but he hasn't been convicted of anything yet. Nor has he admitted to violating the law, AFAIK. So there is some slim hope that he can avoid any league discipline.

I thought Rob Johnson was an NFL QB for a little while, so I can't throw stones.

My all time favorite was the claim that we had a "fast paste offense" - - given the number of points we were scoring at the time, it was pretty accurate, but I think it was unintentional. Hard to tail some times.

Prior to this game I viewed Easley as big and relatively fast, but not very elusive. On a couple replays where they had a camera isolated on him, I was surprised at his short area quickness. I know it was against scrubs, but he looked quick and elusive coming off the line of scrimmage. It was encouraging. Wonder how much credit Ike Hilliard should get for the overall good showing by the WRs in this game?

Here's a link to the full text of the Washington Post article in which Cohen's quote (the one in your sig) first appeared, and a relevant excerpt: http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2013-02-15/national/37115717_1_high-risk-pools-insurance-oversight-health-insurance It may be a little ambiguous, but it sure looks to me like the author of the Washington Post article placed that quote where it is because, based on the entirety of the interview with HHS director Cohen, he/she believed Cohen's quote was referencing high risk pools. Fortunately for me, I've always been fairly healthy so I'm no expert on health care, but I do know that high risk pools pre-dated Obamacare. People can read the article and make up their own minds whether the director of HHS was likely to have been openly criticizing the wisdom of Obamacare - - seems unlikely to me. I'm neither defending nor attacking Obamacare, just trying to parse the wording of the Washington Post article. Cue snarky response with no analysis of the source article's structure . . . .

Saw a good one yesterday (technically it was on a license plate bracket, but it still counts): I Still Miss My Ex But My Aim's Improving

Well at least she has a good grasp of how long it takes to die from a hunger strike - - NOT!

Slightly off topic, but I have the same credit card, and use it the same way. I was a little disappointed when Rapid Rewards switched from flight credits to points, because I used to be able to take cheap short hops on my dime and then use the reward flights for longer, more expensive flights. It worked out to about a 2% return on all my credit card purchases. After they switched to a points-based system, I lost that option. I'm using my "transition award" under the old system for a long flight this fall. Since my return will now be less than 2%, I really should look around to see if I can get a better credit card deal elsewhere.

OK, I get that that's the context in which your response arose - - to me it doesn't matter how big the store is. I also get that the timing issue was your reason for starting the thread, but it quickly moved in the direction of right/wrong issues with your willing participation. I think it's pretty accurate to say that we frame the issue differently. I think that it "begs the question" to say that the question is whether you should pay again (because in my view until you are out the money you haven't paid at all, you have only honestly tried to pay). My guess is that you are correct that you have no legal responsibility to help others fix the problem, but if you can fix the problem with a simple phone call, I come out differently on the moral and ethical responsibility. It's your choice, but if it's me, I pick up the phone and try to make sure the final outcome involves funds being transferred the way everyone intended at the time the transaction was first made. Thanks - - I'm curious if there's a generational gap on this issue - - I'm older than you.

Just saw this thread - - and I'm firmly in the camp that you received goods for which you have not paid (despite trying to), and the right thing to do is pay up. It's not a close call for me. When you say things that imply that it's OK to screw a big grocery store company out of the money because they're big, I don't need to know anything else about your moral compass. If you don't mind me asking (it's OK if you do mind cause I'm a bit of a privacy freak myself), how old are you?

I think your memory or the article are wrong. See article IV of the NFL Constitution & Bylaws at: http://static.nfl.com/static/content//public/static/html/careers/pdf/co_.pdf The way "Home Territory" is defined, Toronto is in the Bills home territory. If the NFL wants to put a team other than the Bills in Toronto, Ralph gets paid.

Ezekiel Ogawbundi. I have not heard even a whisper about him.

"Whaddayamean it was my turn to bring the balls? - - we're just taking mental reps today. Why do you think there's nobody here to catch 'em?"

I found 2 for ya - - is it OK if they're both named Darryl?

Aaron Hernandez just shot Tom Brady!!!!

It's just a computer model - - "garbage in garbage out."

Try punkin chunkin - - you could take out squirrels from about a mile away with one of the air cannons: http://www.punkinchunkin.com/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/67840039@N08/6329293844 I saw one of the annual "world championship" punkin chunkin competitions on the Discovery Channel a while back - - looked like a hoot. I'd like to see one in person some day.
