Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. Mòran taing to the Moronette who posted a link to kilt pics on Faceplant. Let’s take some pride in our Scottish heritage today and see who’s in the HHD folder.
Big Country – Look Away
Redhead for Carin, though I’m going to apologize in advance. I’m betting that 1987 was the year this guy was born. Toss ’em back, will ya?

If you get the job, can you get me a deal on a running watch?
If I get it, I’ll buy you one.
When will Kathleen Sebellius go away? When Valerie Jarret, the chief White house rodent, decides that she should go away. Obama will read about it in the papers.
LOL
Nice job Roamy. It’s good that we can get all multicultural and shit.
I was surprised that the original video of “Look Away” wasn’t on Youtube any more.

Love to cook, should have stuck with it. But I like the computer, too.
Wonder if I can cook computers…
Looks like Obama got his sacrificial lamb:
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/oct/30/sebelius-hot-seat-set-sympathize-americans-while-p/
Obama lied, Sebelius died..
It’s stupid to say that Sebelius should lose her job. That’s like saying a waitress should be fired because the cook burned the food.
“Hold me accountable for the debacle, I’m responsible,” Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told the House Energy and Commerce Committee
Taking her punishment and paying the price just like Hillary.
No, Sebelius is GM of the restaurant and hired incompetent cooks at exorbitant wages, then refused to oversee operations and let the whole joint go tits up.
Yea, but I disagree. She was merely trying to carry out a bullshit law written by someone else. She’s culpable, but getting rid of her isn’t going to do shit.
It will get rid of her. It’s a start. Hell, she is one of the people personally responsible for how awful the law is. Do not forget the law was specifically written so that the secretary has enormous prerogatives regarding precisely what the law does. The phrase “the secretary shall determine” appears so many times in this monstrosity, that she may act like a virtual dictator.

Taking her punishment and paying the price just like Hillary.
===========
Only problem is, there is no real punishment. She’ll go to a high-paying job as a consultant/media type/school admin and cash in. Lefties take care of each other.
She’s the one that said on The Daily Show that we wouldn’t have these problems if we just would have let them go to single payer.
She’s just as guilty as the rest of them. She’s in on bringing the whole thing down. Start firing them, one by one, by whatever means necessary.
That’s like saying a waitress should be fired because the cook burned the food.
Very bad analogy. She has to go.
I don’t want to make anything better at this point. It’s about collecting heads until the other side gives up.
Did anyone see the talk between Howard Dean and Charles Krauthammer (I think it was on The Kelly File or MSNBC)?
Dean: Obamacare will be the reason the Democrats take back the House in 2014.
Krauthammer: When someone is committing political suicide, step back out of the way.
Good morning, ladies and J’ames.
“When someone is committing political suicide, step back out of the way.”
Yes. As the expression goes, “let it burn.” And if Dean thinks Obamacare is going to “help” the dems he’s nuts. Serious nuts.
How funny, I just heard Sebilius say, “it’s not a good time to point fingers and lay blame.”
Holy sheeeeit, that dumb bitch has to go. Just on principle for her saying, “I don’t work for the people who want me fired.” (paraphrase)
“Whatever.”
Where my dad is spending his day:
http://www.kmaland.com/news/veterans-arrive-safely-in-washington/article_fbcd981e-4168-11e3-b961-001a4bcf6878.html
You guys are pretending that her replacement will be any different.
That’s hilarious.
Removing her ( so she can get a high paying gig elsewhere) will pacify the few moderates and lefties who are upset. It will make absolutely no changes in how the administration chooses to implement the law and will just score them a few points.
Well, at this point it’s the ONLY thing we can do. We have ZERO chance of getting anything else.
Godspeed Dad from Ames.
Very cool, J’ames.
Not pretending anything. She’s the head of HHS. This happened on her watch. It’s a travesty of wasted money. She has to go. If she doesn’t, it’s no different than Holder still hanging around at Justice. I’m sick of this bullshit.
That’s great, Jay.
My argument is that its the LAW that is the travesty and wasted money. There was simply NO way to make this work. Allowing her to be blamed, takes the focus away from what is really to blame.
The entire enchilada. No – they fire her, then spend a few months getting that person picked out … a few months them getting up to speed … it buys them time until the 2014 elections.
PERFECT.
>> You guys are pretending that her replacement will be any different.
I’m not, nor am I making the argument that this improves things. Things will not get better, I have no expectations of that.
Putting her head on a pike costs Obama political capital. That’s worth doing. It also humbles him a bit, forcing him to give up one of his own.
There’s no downside. Off with her head and move on to the next.
Yes, the law is a travesty. But it IS the law. We’re stuck with it thanks to our very own John Roberts shoving it up our ass – sideways.
The liberals are already spinning the dropped policies and premium increases as a feature, not a bug.
http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/cut-rate-premiums-cut-rate-care
I disagree. I don’t think it would cost him anything. That is the crux of my disagreement.
I’m hoping they will have pictures from the day at that same site. There is a reporter along with them.
If not, I’ll have to see if I can find any pictures. My dad’s idea of a camera still has film involved in the description, and my mom has the cell phone.
Plus they are getting to blame the insurance companies for dropping the coverage. They are spinning everything to blame them.
Another step in the takeover.
She’s the head of her department. The website roll out was that department’s responsibility. They failed. Accountability says there has to be a response. Team leader gets whacked.
Does it solve the problem of the law? Of course not. But when something you’re responsible for fails, you get punished. At least, that’s how it’s supposed to work.
My fear is that Howard Dean might be right, because this law will enlarge the democrat base.
Between now and the next election this law will only really suck for the Republicans that have to pay for it. For millions of others it means more free shit.
Next years campaign…..”Do you make less than $40,000 per year? The Republicans want to make you pay for your insurance.”
If they pull this off we are screwed.
. But when something you’re responsible for fails, you get punished.
Obama has proven this is no longer operational.
Obama has proven this is no longer operational.
In politics? Sure you can get around it. In the real world, in the working world, the fuck it doesn’t work like that.
I’m in favor of making the political world conform to the realities of the working world.
And if we win in 2014, the media will spend the next two years blaming everything on the Republicans and they kick our ass in 2016.
We need to win by a large enough margin to scare the shit out of them for a couple of decades.
We’ll probably lose though, because of the war on women.
I think the only thing that could save us is their incompetence.

She’s going to take blame, but there is no way he’s going to get rid of her. It’s not going to happen. And calling for her to go to vocally – and then the reality that she’s not going to go anywhere …
It only hurts republicans.
…or a Canadian invasion.
Scott, I wonder if that 10-12% (?), even 5% of Obama lovers who make more than $60,000 and who really got screwed on their premiums and deductibles will vote for a repeal candidate if given the chance.
That 5% could make a difference in an election
I think we’ll make modest gains in 2014 instead of large ones because “Stupid Party”.
There was a comment over at the HQ about Tony Romo that applies to the GOP:
“When the game is on the line and it’s a clutch situation, you can count on Romo to buckle that chinstrap, bear down, sprint out on to the field and begin vigorously jumping up and down on his dick.”
I think the only thing that could save us is their incompetence.
Which is fully on display with Sebelius in charge.
I applied for a job at Garmin last night. If I get it, I apologize in advance for our commercials at Christmastime.
Good luck, leon. It’s a good place to work.
Interesting discussion about the failure of the site/ObamaCare. Actually both are hugely successful! Why? Because that’s been the plan all along. After all, one payer is the answer to all these “unexpected” glitches.
Garmin’s a very good company!
Under $20k was an automatic D vote, now it’s going to be $40k.
Game over.
Re: Sebelius. Look at the others who were gotten rid of…oh wait..there were really only two, right? Van Jones, who is making beaucoup bucks on the talk circuit, not to mention his new gig, and Lerner. What punishment did Lerner suffer?
It’s all a joke.
Is Leon’s garmin job full time or a seasonal deal?
That’s why they refused to push back the roll out. They only have a year to get stupid people hooked on free insurance.
My hope is they replace her with Granholm.
Granholm does have experience!
*runs
WE ARE DOOMED!
Of course it’s a joke, Beasnsnsn, but people of principle don’t say, “Screw it, let the crooks stay because…..nothing changes.”
When you have one of their soldiers in your cross hairs you take them out. It will cost Obama credibly two ways 1) poor judgement putting her in charge 2) wasting capital gettin someone else appointed.
And Sebilius will be out at DHHS, which is a worthy goal. She’s a nasty piece of shit and deserves the humiliation. Head on a pike.
Scott, would you like a kitten pic? Because I’ll find one for you.
Header^^
She’s the one that said on The Daily Show that we wouldn’t have these problems if we just would have let them go to single payer.
Seriously. Considering the massive fail* of the semi-takeover now, do you really think taking over an entire industry wouldn’t have been a worse hot mess?
*fail to anyone but the welfare whores (ghetto, politician, and crony)
What I’m saying is that I don’t want to give Obama an inch. Distractions, such as blaming it on Sebeilus – they could get a few months of traction from that. No, this is a clusterfoch, and I want them to completely own it.
I want conservatives to focus on why this is WRONG, not helping by trying to get better people to work on it.
Besides, he won’t get rid of her because he could never get anyone through the Senate. It would all be one big distraction, and dems would say “We could SOLVE this if only the Republicans would stop being obstructionists and let us put someone through.”
I can fucking see it already.
I think scott is right. They are rolling out everything they can to get as many people hooked on Uncle Sugar as they can.
Most will get more for care their money under the new system than they ever could have hoped for under the old.
Yeah, my son is going to really enjoy that maternity coverage.
She failed at trying to implement an unimplementable law. It’s a feature, not a bug.
All the libs are saying that single payer = Medicare, the most successful program in history.
see Beckel at The Five. They really think that.
Help me out here. I saw at one point that the “subsidies” for insurance, the only thing that makes OCare plans affordable, where in the form of tax credits/rebates/whatever the proper term is.
Meaning that you’d have to pay the full premium up front and then basically get reimbursed at tax time.
Is that true?
I did see that. He’s such a tool.
I’m sure life seems simple when you don’t know a fucking thing.
I think she stays too.
She doesn’t work for us.
She failed at trying to implement an unimplementable law. It’s a feature, not a bug.
That’s not what the head staking is for. She (the dept she’s responsible for) failed in getting the website to function even close to correctly. After having several years and several hundred million dollars to do it. That’s the fireable offense.
Yes, but OBAMA was the one who decided on arbitrary (politically convenient) deadlines.
He’s also the ass who picked the $2,500 number out of thin air that we all going to save on our insurance.
Obama and his administration simply does things by the seat of their pants. And now – blaming Sebelius? I’m not saying she competent, and what she says and does annoys me, but she is NOTHING but a foot soldier for Obama.
I bet Obama is on the phone with her, right now, congratulating her for her performance today.
I disagree. I don’t think it would cost him anything. That is the crux of my disagreement.
I’m with Ca rin, on this. He has a lot of blood on his hands that cost him nothing.
Mare, if she goes, which I doubt, she will be replaced by another crook.

Again, so? She had a job to do. Set up the website. She failed. Utterly.
I’m never going to encourage anyone to ignore a crook. Right or wrong, I’m not going to do it.
Sebelius bears DIRECT responsibility for the regulations that were written to enforce the law. She actually did real harm here that will never make it all the way back to Obama. There are more “The Secretary Shalls” in those regulations than I have hairs on my ass.
She bears more responsibility for insurors cancelling policies that the Congress. Obama shares it because he could tell them to change the regs (he won’t, he will blame insurance companies and the law).
Take her out. She does damage.
Dude!!!!!
And if we win in 2014, the media will spend the next two years blaming everything on the Republicans and they kick our ass in 2016.
They’re doing it now. GOP caused the shutdown. 76% of the public didn’t want the shutdown. I’ve even seen more than a few people saying the GOP are as much at fault for Obamacare because ‘they’ watered it down.
And who do we have as the face of the GOP — McCain.
There is noone, other than Cruz and Lee, sticking to and articulating the conservative message. And they are being attacked from their own which looks like what to the low information voter?

They’re all fricken crooks. But focusing on HER draws the fire against those who are doing more harm, imho.
I’m telling you, I can see the media in the months following her dismissal, and it’s not pretty.
Good luck, leon. It’s a good place to work.
That’s what I hear. Mare, this would be a change of my full-time job. i’d be writing software as an automotive OEM instead of a Gov’t contractor.
Was it Sebelius who hired CGI, or was it someone else?
Granholm does have experience!
After five years, I was blown away.
Carin, we lose no matter what we do with the media we have. Doing the wrong thing because the government/media is not moral is something I won’t do.
Oh, Leon, I hope you get it. Will you have to move?
I meant:
“I won’t support”
CGI won the bid, of course Beasn. OOps, it was a “no-bid” contract. Never mind.
As reported by the Washington Examiner in early October, the Department of Health and Human Services reviewed only CGI’s bid for the Obamacare account. CGI was one of 16 companies qualified under the Bush administration to provide certain tech services to the federal government. A senior vice president for the company testified this week before The House Committee on Energy and Commerce that four companies submitted bids, but did not name those companies or explain why only CGI’s bid was considered.
Her intentions were good and she worked really hard.
That’s all that matters to Obama.
Everyone in the Obama Administration?
http://tinyurl.com/m6gl7k8
I don’t know what the “right” thing to do is in this case. The RIGHT thing to do is to fight the Obama administration ruin of this country. That is my #1 priority.
Period.
Giving them any political cover doesn’t serve that goal, and I think that forcing their hand to fire Sebeilus gives them cover in a wide variety of ways.
Its enough to keep banging the drum that the entire thing stinks, it was poorly written, poorly implemented, it is TOO big to implement … etc.
I don’t want to focus on ONE wonk. As I’ve repeatedly stated, it gives them cover, which doesn’t serve my purpose.
Oh, Leon, I hope you get it. Will you have to move?
Have to? No, but the job is in Livonia, which would make it reasonable for us to move to South Lyon, which has the double advantage of having lots of small farms and being about 15 minutes closer to SANGB.
And, while HHS did appear to pick CGI “officially”, there are a lot of ties between the CGI and the White House.
They are one and same anyway, so I don’t see why it even matters. Obama said “hire these guys” so she did. EOL.

But as critics excoriate the administration for misleading the public, here’s a point to bear in mind. The affected consumers aren’t getting ripped off. Most will get more for care their money under the new system than they ever could have hoped for under the old.
==============
This is great reasoning. Like if they outlawed all cars older than 8 years. Everybody would be safer, more fuel efficient, less repair costs, boost the auto industry. It’s a great idea. I should go buy a new pickup to replace my old worn-out one. Now if I can just get a $50,000 subsidy…………………
And once people get their free shit they can’t ever earn more than $40,000 a year because then their free shit will cost them $5000 a year.
Just like welfare….voters for life.
I have roated punkin seeds. U R jell us.
Like Sebilius says, “whatever.”
People thought Cruz was wrong too, but he’s on record as fighting this flustercluck in the long run that’s a good thing.
So, ideally, Sebellius keeps her job — which makes Obama look bad — and the site continues to suck worse than Bob Beckel at a soft-serve machine, so the funding death spiral is in full effect next October.
That’s what I’m thinking. I mean, it’s going to continue to suck whether she is replaced or not. It would merely be a symbolic move anyway. They don’t gain any cover (over Republicans blocking an appointment), etc.
We can merely focus on it’s suckage.
ANd I don’t think Cruz is wrong- what he did.
http://www.buzzfeed.com/stephengutowski/the-only-obamacaresebelius-gif-youll-ever-need-5k8e
No, Firing Sebelious has its upsides. First, as a nation, we simply have to have some accountability.
Second, every time Obama tries to foist responsibility onto her, the answer is, she was YOUR pick, and you stood by her until forced to fire her to cover your own ass.
>> As reported by the Washington Examiner in early October, the Department of Health and Human Services reviewed only CGI’s bid for the Obamacare account. CGI was one of 16 companies qualified under the Bush administration to provide certain tech services to the federal government.
Journalists understand nothing, including federal contracting. This work was let under an IDIQ (indefinite delivery indefinitely quantity) contract which the 16 companies already had to compete for by providing labor rates and categories of service. That’s where the $647MM figure came from, total potential value of “IT stuff”. The actual work is requested under individual task orders which the 16 pre-qualified teams compete for again.
The reason DHHS only reviewed the CGI team task order response is because that was the only bid submitted. Now you can argue there were other shennanigans, but that ain’t the same as a “no-bid” contract.
Good day, people who like their plans but can’t seem to keep them for some reason.
And re: confirmation hearings for a replacement, Obama can either appoint his usual radical, which will lead to some interesting questions (and the press is starting to ask some about some stuff, I suspect that’s a cat that won’t be quickly stuffed back into the bag).
Or he can appoint a technocrat, and that will also lead to some interesting questions, like “you’re not a complete cretin, do you see any possible way Obamacare can actually save people money?”
There were three or four bids submitted, actually, but they didn’t explain (or have refused to explain, so far) why they picked CGI.
“It is also reported that of the four bids submitted for the contract, only the bid from CGI Federal was considered for approval. No explanation for the lack of competition is noted in any of the government records.
Department of Health and Human Services’ Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) spokesman Tasha Bradley refused a request by the Washington Examiner, to provide a public solicitation document in regard to the awarding of the website contract. CGI global communications spokesperson Linda Odorisio is quoted at the Washington Examiner article as stating ““There were at least two bidders, we believe three, for the task order. That is all the information I have,””
Dave is right about IDIQ. A number of companies compete for a base quantity, with the “ceiling” set much higher. Winning the contract means that as development goes forward, control-change-boards and customer requirements drive additional work on the contract, each time with an additional fee. These normally end at or before the ceiling (if some requirements are dropped or the customer is content with the effort prior to the full $ amount being invested), but sometimes exceed it — often with perfectly valid reasons.
I’m stealing that, Clintbird.
It’s fake.

Sebelius: “The insurance policy has benefits whether you use them or not, and one of the benefits will be maternity coverage, mental health coverage, domestic violence coverage.”
Ellmers: “And that is why health care premiums are increasing, because we’re forcing them to buy things they will never need. Thank you, madam chairman.”
————————————–
I can’t believe even LiVs are not smart enough to see forcing people to buy things they don’t need, is good for anyone other than welfare whores.
I have done it a few times Xbrad.
Another thing these idiots don’t realize is that while they may have “free insurance”, they also may have a $6000 deductible.
Good luck with that.
“he’s depressing me.”
Sorry Beasn.
Don’t be sorry. I meant to say, ‘it’s like we’re twins’. I’m already depressed from thinking the same thing.
I worked at Walmart and saw that stuff playing out. Any welfare, from food stamps to EITC, was ‘their’ money and they would do what they could to keep others from taking it from them. Anyone who talked ‘reform’ or ‘rolling back’, hated the poor and were heartless…..oh, hold on a minute while I take out my latest electronic gadget to make an appt to get my nails and hair extensions did.
Afternoon.
Check your gmail, please, Hotspur.
Thanks.
Today I built five (5) of these:

How is Masscare working out?
If you move one letter its Massacre.
scott, I should go find the comment from someone who lives in the Masshole area. They are not happy. Lots, not all, are insured, but are having a hard time finding a doctor or care.
Vent nurse I know still can’t find a primary care Dr. as doctors were leaving the state. Waiting lists for specialists are long. Waiting lists for procedures such as colonoscopies are getting long.
I can’t believe even LiVs are not smart enough……
They are LIVs precisely BECAUSE they are not smart enough.
Make it hurt enough, and some of them won’t be LIVs any longer.
But some LIVs will always be LIVs.
Speaking of colonoscopies, guess who got her notice that it’s that time again?
Three years sure does pass quickly the older you get…..
Haha…former coworker just messaged me —
“Cake decorator down you should think about coming back ‘XXX’ is gone, they would probably kiss your sweet ass ha ha I’m serious”
I know a CT family that gets Masscare because they have a PO box in Mass.
I should look into that.
Scott, are they undocumented from Mexico?
Obama lied, my health insurance died.
Old And Busted- Obama 2009- If you like your healthcare, you can keep it.
The New Hotness- Obama 2013- If *I* like your healthcare, you can keep it.
I hope f’ing Bill Ayers has satan’s pitch fork rammed up his ass every hour on the hour.
But I mean that in a nice way.
Leon?
No way, condoms are for adulterers. I also regularly win the silver TYVM.
“Cake decorator down you should think about coming back ‘XXX’ is gone, they would probably kiss your sweet ass ha ha I’m serious”
Independent confirmation that beasn has a sweet ass.
“I also regularly win the silver TYVM.”
Well done.
It’s been 22 hours. Only communication from Garmin thus far is the automated email acknowledging my application.
It’s over, they aren’t hiring me.
Chris Christy as the GOP candidate makes me want to puke.
Damn it, Leon. I’m sorry.
GOP is dead as the Whigs if they pull that.
Damn it, Leon. I’m sorry.
Mare, you get that I just haven’t heard anything in less than one day and I’m just farcically overreacting, right?
Of course, and I was going to go on a deal where I said stuff like, “who the hell would be better than you!!!” “Who has your resume??!!”
“WFT is WRONG WITH GARMIN???!!”
I’ll learn how to use the internet when I’m damn good and ready!

I can’t remember how long the son had to wait for an answer. It was several weeks and a couple of interviews.
*fires off letter to Garmin HR, telling them they’d be lucky to suck Leon’s nards and cussing them for not honoring his inquiry with the forelock-tugging supplication it absolutely requires*
THERE. I got it, buddy. You’re in now. Expect a call.
No, no. Don’t thank me. I see that teardrop in your eye. Just forget about it, pal, buddy, ol’ pally of mine.
We should put our heads together and write a letter of recommendation for him.

hahahah…I was kind of thinking of doing that.
Plus throwing in a few, “dicks” “pricks” and “douchetools” for good measure.
I just noticed I said, WFT….hahahahah
If you get an interview there and you show up late, just tell them that you got lost.
Damn, Mare. That chick has a cute pussy.

Very well done, too!

Did you give them your GPS coordinates?
I will use my Garmin to guide me to the interview if it comes up. If I’m late I’ll tell them they clearly need my help.
My GPS coordinates are Obama Is A Cock Gobbler N. Latitude by Sebelius Is A Cum Dumpster W. Longitude.
Therefore, I must live in Fuckedintheassistan.
Sorry I’m late but I had trouble finding the place.
That will slay them.
Where the fuck is MCPO?
Where is MJ?

They are together.

Today, just about every Member I helped, was a total asshole. It was weird. Most people are friendly. Not today. Remember the manager that came to work on Oxy and had to leave in an ambulance? Her LOA/Rehab period ended and she was finally “Let go”. She never came back to work after her LOA date. $6000 to rekey the building.
Windows echo your reflection

When will this haunting stop?

Good morning, children. It’s fun to wake up at 4:15 with back issues.

Cyn, I’m #3 or #19.
Wondering if I should make any effort for Halloween at work. If I bring in candy, I’ll be the one eating it.
wakey wakey
I have a mandatory, unpaid, no-lunch-provided meeting today at noon. That’s scary all on its own. Mostly because it means the PM wouldn’t find money in the contract or just pay for it herself to keep morale up.
Halloween, y’all.
Good morning all!
Hella series win by the BoSox, eh?
(I know, I know, no one outside of the NE or St. Louis regions could give more than a single shit. Ask me who won the series last year—I have no farkin’ idea).
Jimbro, women’s college volleyball was on last night.
Why watch baseball?
Stupid Giants. Whole decade of WS misery for me.
People needed food last night, and I brought it to them. Why watch baseball?
Leon, that’s right up there with a three-hour telecon. Ugh.
If the Sox weren’t in it I’d have been in bed at a reasonable hour.
I like pro beach volleyball viewed in the depths of winter. Tanned Amazonian woman in skimpy attire.
College girls are still pretending that they’re wholesome.
I’d prefer the telecon. I’d be paid and I could do crosswords or something. No, this is an hour of training on organizational conflicts of interest, for which I have already been trained. Twice. Required-for but unpaid-by the contract as an annual obligation.
Other than our weekly section meetings and a once a year entire big medical staff meeting they leave us alone. They make everyone do something called “icare” on the computer. It’s a series of guided lessons with quizzes along the way. In my 6 years of being there I have only done it once. The other times I’ve paid someone to do it for me.
College girls are still pretending that they’re wholesome.
Jimbro, the home team had cheerleaders. Ain’t no cheerleaders at the beach.
You’re going to the wrong beaches.
For your next workout Leon:

Thanks, but I’ll stick with the ones that look less likely to scratch me.
Friend of mine wrote and published a book. It sucked. I keep dodging her when she asks how I liked it. Now she’s written a sequel that’s 20,000 words longer than the first one. Gonna turn off the phone or plan to get kidnapped.

Simple math problem for me Roamy. I already know most of the lessons on there since they repeat yearly with minor variations. How many times do I need to learn not to hit on nursing/medical/x-ray students or not tell bawdy jokes or engage in ribald humor. They ask the same questions in different ways to try and trip you up. The deadline is December 31st so it’s a win-win. I help someone earn a little extra tax free cash for their Christmas shopping and I can check the box on my icare.
Interesting. Just say it was interesting Roamy.
Julius Erving wouldn’t have fathered tennis player Alexandra Stevenson, 32, if her mother hadn’t gotten braces on her teeth, the Hall of Fame basketball player writes in his new autobiography, “Dr. J.”
“She becomes someone who helps me unwind if I’m feeling high-strung or stressed. I can drive over and spend a relaxing evening that might even include oral sex,” Erving writes. “I can only remember one time that we actually had intercourse, and that was because she had just gotten this new orthodontia to straighten her teeth. With wire and gleaming metal bristling in her mouth, oral sex was not an option.”
From a NY Post article.
Does Mare know where you live?
no No NO! I’m next.
Roamy, was it this?
I’m just saying, I think that book sucked on purpose.
Does Mare know where you live?
no No NO! I’m next.
That’s nice. A hostage in need, and you’re claiming “firsties.”
Jimbro, it would be wrong for me to do that the next time the ethics class comes around, but I’m thinking about it.
**emails directions to Mare**
We’ll swing by and pick up Pupster, m’kay?
I had a “friend” write a book and had a few of us read it to give her our opinions …
And everything we gentle tried to tell her, was met basically with a “Well, my publisher friend thinks it’s really good, so I’m not going to change anything.”
Ok then. GOOD LUCK!
My ex-wife self-published an unmodified novel. My mom read it, I couldn’t be bothered. She included sections of Italian-language dialogue. Doesn’t speak it, never took a class in it, and didn’t ask anyone who spoke it to correct it.
If I write a book, I’ll have y’all modify it wiki-style until it sucks less.
I wrote a book once.
Moby Dick.
Someone call Mare and tell her that MJ has chewed through the restraints.
But, if you call mare, then MJ will also be called.

HA!
I used to have this client, who, every time he called the office, would tell the secretary his name was Wilkemeier, and would immediately say “one word.” So she’d buzz my office and say “It’s OnewordWilkemeir.” We’d laugh and laugh before I could pick up the call.
Can’t be “if anyone” with Hotspur’s use of “, gets their.”
If anyone gets their ass kicked, it’s gonna be Mare.

How the fuck can they do all of that for twelve bucks?
They aren’t the government, Hotspur.

I would look in a farm supply store for bull whips.
