    Finally found a cell phone provider that gives me a great signal in my house. Never would have expected it to be T-Mobile. Now comes the hassle of doing the ETF with Sprint and flipping my 3-month-old phone on Craigslist, a phone I bought off contract in the first place.

    I've had T-Mobile forever (since they were VoiceStream...way back in the day...) and have always been happy with them.

    So let me get this straight - I am not allowed to have any fluids after midnight so I can have blood drawn in the morning...BUT, you also want a urine sample? Pissing with no fluid in my body sounds just swell...

    Just call it a sky light? :)

    Okay, life, I've had about enough of your effin' adversity. Having a pretty sizable chunk of the ceiling in my little girls room fall in this morning was more than the last straw.

    Yes, yes there are. I wouldn't be surprised if some of those celebrities are intimately involved with the lobbyist groups. Do you think the occasional politician who speaks out against vaccination comes up with that stuff on their own? (note: the real concern is not politicians so much as fooling the general population. Vaccines are effective primarily through herd immunity. If enough people start forgoing certain vaccines, the inoculation level in the population could decline passed a tipping point threshold and allow more widespread disease to spread in the population).

    I don't think these advocates are necessarily crazy so much as having a poor grasp of cause and effect along with some misplaced anger. But when these people write books or articles on the Internet with some semblance of scientific language, it is relatively easy to convince certain impressionable laypeople.

    I never thought much about this...until I had kids. And now I have to listen to my wife's friends tell me I should get on some sort of "alternative vaccine schedule" - which essentially means forgoing certain vaccines for reasons that aren't entirely clear. The support behind these claims are typically a combination of (a) poor/inaccurate interpretation of statistics and (b) some sort of hyperbolic conspiracy theory.

    What WAS that all about?!? I thought we were going to have some kind of incident, throwin' down right there, and I never saw what precipitated it. Scottie is a madman!

    All I heard was a lot of yelling about Hamels...followed up with "Philly Sucks!" The dude in the front row kept saying "you really don't want to mess with me"...at which point, I thought things were going to get ugly.

    Took my 3 year old to game on Friday. Got there early to let her walk down to railing and see players. And, Jeff Francoeur threw her a ball. Pretty cool - and made her day.

    My 3 year old daughter loves watching Os games with me, and she LOVES JJ Hardy. She talks about him so much during games that whenever my 1 year old daughter sees baseball on TV, she starts clapping and frantically yelling "JJ...JJ...JJ". I love baseball.:)

    My 3 year old got it first. Then, my wife and 1-year old got it at almost the same time. And, when the 1-year old and wife were done, the poor 3 year old still had it. Somehow, I have managed to avoid it (so far).

    No sooner had I written this, then my wife calls me saying the 1-year old just threw up again. :angryfire:

    Ugh, we passed that around for a couple weeks. Both girls, the wife and I all got it one after the other. It was BRUTAL too. I thought we had caught the Norovirus for a while there (I had that back in 2004 when it broke out real bad at MD)

    My 3-year old has keeps asking me to play "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" (AKA, the country boy song) and then telling me that she loves the "O-Os" and wants to get a "JJ Hardy shirt". Bring on baseball season!

    Now I just need to find somewhere to get a toddler jersey...

    I don't care if you want to hear it or not. It's a rant.;)

    I like living near the bathroom. It's a short commute, and it's surprisingly quiet.

    Why...why in the hell did you have to install a hand dryer in there? It's like somebody is vacuuming outside my door every ten minutes!!! :cussing:

    I can think of a way to get rid of this problem...

    2 RBs their achilles in one week, followed by another fracturing his hand. Awesome week for fantasy team. Uggh. [see my trade thread in the fantasy section for ways to deal with this disaster!]
