RIP, Liz. Some famous quotes by LT. When the sun comes up, I have morals again. When people say, 'She's got everything', I've got one answer - I haven't had tomorrow. The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues. Success is a great deodorant. It takes away all your past smells. I've always admitted that I'm ruled by my passions. It's not the having, it's the getting. It is strange that the years teach us patience; that the shorter our time, the greater our capacity for waiting. I feel very adventurous. There are so many doors to be opened, and I'm not afraid to look behind them.

This is one funny thread!!

Dont cry for those workers in WI. Read this.......... http://www.bellingha...s-overpaid.html# Amid the rage over Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's proposals to shrink government worker compensation, one question predominates: Are these workers overpaid? If so, it makes sense for them to accept less, rather than force taxpayers to give up more. We're told, of course, that they're not. In recent weeks, left-leaning think tanks have tried to portray public employees, including government workers, as underpaid. A recent report from the Economic Policy Institute concluded that Wisconsin public employees are undercompensated by about 5 percent compared to private workers with similar skills and personal characteristics. When counting the full value of benefits and job security, however, public employment in Wisconsin is a very good deal indeed. As in most states, Wisconsin state and local workers make less in wages but more in benefits than comparable private workers. According to our analysis of the Current Population Survey, Wisconsin public workers have earned about 5 percent less in wages over the past five years than private workers in large firms - after controlling for age, education and many other earnings-related characteristics. (The penalty would disappear almost entirely if we compared public workers to employees of all private firms, not just the largest ones.) Do generous benefits outweigh this wage penalty? The EPI report acknowledges that public-sector benefits are more generous than in private firms - equal to around 27 percent of total compensation for Wisconsin public workers, versus 19 percent to 23 percent for private employees. This already makes total pay nearly even for public- and private-sector employees. But the EPI study underestimates public-sector pension benefits, omits retiree health benefits, and doesn't count the value of public-sector job security. Wisconsin public employers fund their defined-benefit plans by calculating the contributions today which, compounded at an assumed 7.8 percent interest rate, will be sufficient to pay promised benefits at retirement. Since public-pension benefits are guaranteed by Wisconsin law even if investment returns fall short, this means that public employees receive a riskless 7.8 percent return on their employer's pension contributions. Private-sector employees with 401(k) plans, by contrast, can earn only around a 4 percent guaranteed return by holding U.S. Treasury securities. Adjusting for this difference adds around 4 percent to total Wisconsin public-employee compensation. Another overlooked benefit that most state and local employees receive is retiree health coverage. Even the simple right to buy into the employees' plan, which is what most Wisconsin public retirees receive, is a good deal compared to the cost of a 60-year old purchasing coverage in the individual market. Other public employees receive an even better deal: retired Milwaukee teachers receive full health coverage at almost no cost to themselves, a benefit that actuarial reports conclude is worth around an extra 17 percent of pay. While the value of retiree health benefits varies among Wisconsin public employees, almost all receive a better deal than the private sector, where retiree health coverage is both rare and stingy by comparison. Finally, public-sector workers enjoy significantly greater job security than private-sector workers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that nationwide, state and local employees are fired or laid off at less than one-third the rate in the private sector. How much is this job security worth? A lot. A worker who loses his job spends an average of almost 20 weeks unemployed, during which time he must subsist on unemployment benefits. We can put a number on this. Assuming that Wisconsin workers would have the same probability of being discharged, and the same duration of unemployment as private workers, their extra job security is equivalent to about a 9 percent increase in pay. In short, the total job package for Wisconsin public employees - salaries, benefits and job security - is roughly 10 percent higher than what is paid to similar private workers, and in certain cases far more. Government workers should bear that in mind as they press their demands.

I thought this would be a good place to put this. Sundown on the Unions. By Bob Dylan. Sung by jamesraymondsmith Well, my shoes, they come from Singapore My flashlight's from Taiwan My tablecloth's from Malaysia My belt buckle's from the Amazon You know, this shirt I wear comes from the Philippines And the car I drive is a Chevrolet It was put together down in Argentina By a guy makin' thirty cents a day Well, it's sundown on the union And what's made in the U.S.A. Sure was a good idea 'Til greed got in the way Well, this silk dress is from Hong Kong And the pearls are from Japan Well, the dog collar's from India And the flower pot's from Pakistan All the furniture, it says "Made in Brazil" Where a woman, she slaved for sure Bringin' home thirty cents a day to a family of twelve You know, that's a lot of money to her Well, it's sundown on the union And what's made in the U.S.A. Sure was a good idea 'Til greed got in the way Well, you know, lots of people complainin' that there is no work I say, "Why you say that for When nothin' you got is U.S.–made?" They don't make nothin' here no more You know, capitalism is above the law It say, "It don't count 'less it sells" When it costs too much to build it at home You just build it cheaper someplace else Well, it's sundown on the union And what's made in the U.S.A. Sure was a good idea 'Til greed got in the way Well, the job that you used to have They gave it to somebody down in El Salvador The unions are big business, friend And they're goin' out like a dinosaur They used to grow food in Kansas Now they want to grow it on the moon and eat it raw I can see the day coming when even your home garden Is gonna be against the law Well, it's sundown on the union And what's made in the U.S.A.

fixed, and no way Jose.

Maybe he wants to one up the Joaquin Phoenix act.

Union sheep are scary people. They have low self esteem or individual accountability. They feel a need to be "protected" by big brother union bosses. And they have the audacity to despise people that own and operate businesses. And they are taking that same attitude towards taxpayers. Guess what? The tide is changing. The taxpayers have had enough of us paying your dues, when you use those dues to elect politicians that take more of our taxes to give to you. Game over. Sheep, its time to accept your union bosses have gone too far the last 20 years or so.

The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true!

I had one replaced a few years ago. It was a Genie. After a little bit of research I found out it had a life time warrenty on it. So I contacted Genie told them what I had. They then sent a contractor out to my house with a brand new one with a life time warrenty. Installed free!! All for free. "Winning"
