Happy birthday Braden! Joe4 won the discus at districts and qualified for the state meet, throwing Friday morning at 11:30. It was very competitive, with 4 throwers going over 140 feet. The top 2 qualified. Garrigan sends down 7 events and, while they won't win a state title or anything like that, will score points with a strong 1A team. Joe has a chance of scoring points at state.
Do all of you get uninsured motorist coverage? If you have health insurance, is it necessary? Florida requires that you sign off on it if you don't want coverage.
Reject sounds more forceful. As if the idea offends you. How do you feel about the coverage?
Congrats to Joe4 and his discus. By the way Joe3,4, and Kelli, I am sorry I didn't make it to the graduation party. I heard the party was fun and the food was great.
If someone crashes into you and causes injuries that require months of rehab it's worth it, especially if your health insurance has a very high deductible. If your car is worth insuring or if you owe money on it, uninsured coverage is probably worth it. Also if you often carry more than just the driver in your car. Otherwise, you could declare the coverage anathema.
Thank you. I chose a minimal amount (10K) of the coverage. I still wonder why they delineate between reject coverage and decline coverage. My car is not worth insuring(95 Toyota Camry), but the coverage seems to be more about injuries than damage to vehicle. At least according to the definition on their website. p
I was going to ask which finger was her ring finger then, but on the right hand it doesn't matter. I read a great book called The 6 Wives of Henry VIII (nonfiction). It was quite interesting. p
If the disposal makes no sound whatsoever check for a reset button.
If it makes a humming sound but won't grind stuff up it is jammed. You need a set of allan wrenches. Find a wrench the same size as the opening on the very bottom, very center of the disposal. Work the allan wrench back a forth. This should un-jam the disposal.
Much of McSlimy's speech at ND was all about tolerance and finding a middle ground between those with opposing veiws. Did he learn this from Jerimiah Wright?
So the cops had my neighborhood blocked off yesterday, couldn't go home until around 9 PM. Some dude who had killed his wife was hiding in the park by my apt with a rifle. He killed himself in a cave in the park. Freaky.
Frank - that type of thing happened to me with regularity when I lived in Venice, CA. After a 2 hour commute where I was stopped more than moving I would finally find a parking spot about 3-4 blocks from home (if you were lucky you got that close). Then I would schlep towards home only to be stopped by a cop saying I could go no further because some nut in the area had a gun. It got to the point that I just circumvented any cops who were stopping people and made it home.
Also, there was a time I was laying on my living room floor watching t.v. and out of the corner of my eye I see a cop tip toeing past my side door with his gun drawn. He was about 15 feet from me. I just stayed on the floor.
so, do you think Vick will make it back into the NFL? he probably picked up some new skills in prison, like being able to shank anyone who sacks him...
McSlimy made a nice speech, but he was full of baloney. If he really thought that, he wouldn't be doing the things he is doing.
Funding abortions as a way of fighting poverty and crowding, suggesting that legislation that requires doctors and hospitals to offer abortion on demand... I find him to be seeking no middle ground.
Ohh, Frank that is scary. I swear that beginning of summer makes people go crazy. The first really hot day last year in Omaha there was like 4 shootings in one night.
We helped move Joe and Brianne into a new house yesterday. It is a very cute house in an awesome historic neighborhood. It was in a Better Homes and Gardens (or something like that) book a few years ago. I heard an interview the other day with a realtor saying the market in Des Moines is back to a sellers market now, so I think we were both lucky to have found houses early in the year!
We planted 3 beautiful snow crab trees in the parking in front of our house (actually Joe4 and Betty planted them)...the city says the trees have to go because hoemwoners are only allowed 2 trees per street side parking (no matter how wide your frontage is!) also because our grassy stip of parking isn't wide enough...so yesterday we had a hearing in front of the sewer council (half the city council) and they voted 2-1 against our trees...so next we go in front of the entire city council to plead for our trees! We're very pumped...ready to save our trees!!!
Stevo told me that the real value of uninsured motorist coverage is medical. There's no deductible (at least in Iowa) so if someone T-bones you and puts you in the hospital you're not fighting the health insurance company who's trying to make the other guy pay while you slowly become delinquent on all your bills. The cost (again here in Iowa) is so minimal compared to the whole package that it's worth it. For 10K you can walk into a hospital and get a bandaid, but not much else.
While mowing the yard at sarah's today I heard the bang-clunk of mowing over something. At the same moment I felt a spray of liquid on my leg AND immediately got a whiff of rancid nastiness. An awful stench it was.
I look around and there are gopher parts strewn about. I lived in peace with these gophers....until now!
I have some boneless pork loin chops I need to grill tonight. Would marinating them in white wine and other stuff be a bad idea? Other stuff does not include gopher guts.
It was a battery case. I was called up to the courtroom but ultimately not chosen to serve on the jury. Interesting though. There were a couple of real jerks in the group with me. One wanted more explanation on the difference between reasonable doubt and probably doubt, or something like that. Forced us to sit there while the lawyer and judge tried to explain it. Then it turned out he was a lawyer - medical malpractice. The judge was very annoyed. p
In my fashion magazine they asked certain stars how often they wash their hair...Debra Messing (from Will and Grace) said her stylist tells her to wash only once a week, for sure for the Red Carpet she said she has 7 day dirty hair...more control!
Yawza. My mom and I both got fuchsia plants yesterday to attract birds and butterflies. Within a day of hanging mine up, there was a pretty little bird nest inside the pot. I don't know what kind of birds, but there actually seems to be three of the same kind all working on this nest. There is also little blue humming birds coming up now!
To all Straubs and their immediate descendants: I am trying yet another diabetes drug (sigh) and in researching it I came on this website which provided links for lots of further research about blood sugar pathologies: http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/14045678.php
The reason I bring this up is that there is compelling research that genetic factors that lead to diabetes also cause insulin resistance or low insulin production years before the diabetes causes you to store glucose (blood sugar) as fat instead of burning it for energy. In other words, the incipient diabetes might be making people fat instead of the other way around. This means that even lean family members of type 2 diabetics need to check blood sugar levels regularly (before you start turning fat!) and perhaps - in defiance of common nutritional wisdom - eat a diet composed more of proteins and fats than of carbs. I can live without cakes, cookies and doughnuts, but a life without pasta is not worth living. However I am now resolved to indulge infrequently and walk briskly afterward. So. Just sayin'. Also I know little to nothing about type 1 diabetes which is a whole other critter, so don't anyone get all upset with me.
Success! The disposal is grinding again, thank you Uncle! Brain's friend giggled yesterday when he walked in to see Brain feeding the baby and me wrenching under the sink.
Isn't it nice when you can fix something yourself? Are you inspired to take on more fixit challenges?
I've made a lot of different salsas over the years. I think I just made my best ever. It's a pineapple salsa with a tomatillo base. It also has the usual stuff. Green Onions, onions, tomatoes, and what not. I also added some roasted, pureed jalepenos. But, what made this really good was a last minute inspiration to add a good smoked paprika. That turned my good salsa into a killer salsa. Try it out.
I absolutely do not understand the popularity of American Idol and all the coverage and discussion. I think it's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. Hope I'm not offending anyone. Pat-thanks for posting- I got busy and forgot.
You can always count on those kids from Nebraska to come through when things get tough.
Cathy et. al. - I don't think I'm diabetic but every day around 4pm I tend to get sleepy as hell. If I'm home in front of the tube I can rarely keep my eyes open. Is it possible that this is a blood sugar level issue. I'm under the impression that this level is somewhat cyclical and many people have low blood sugar at this time of day. Any insights on this?
Let's see. What has our wonderful president done lately? Well, first of all, he is planning a trip to Europe, including Italy, and will be in Rome for a couple of days but has no plans to stop at the Vatican. The Vatican states that they would very much like to be a part of his schedule but they have not heard from the administration yet. American presidents traditionally visit the Pope when they are in Rome. Oh, by the way, he has not yet named an ambassador to the Vatican state.

At Notre Dame he said that we must all work together to eliminate the need for abortions because abortions are so terrible (my paraphrase) but if they are so terrible why does he continue to support policies that enable abortions? And with our tax money!!
It's strange, the newspapers used to have boxes on page 1 or 2 that showed the numbers of our troops that were killed since the war in Iraq started. Has anyone seen any of those boxes lately?
I sure hope the next 100 days are better but I am not counting on it. And up to now I have not even said a word about the socialization of many or our core industries or lawmaking by presidential fiat. I mean, who need a legislative branch?
Good night all. We are going to Des Moines tomorrow.
In case you need some motivation to go to the Iowa State game this fall, here's Cy doing "The Evolution of Dance." In the comments section some idiot says it's too bad Ia State doesn't have a blow-up mascot like L'il Red. Like L'il Red could do "Can't Touch This."

There are also two options to check

What would be the difference??

can you renounce the coverage?

I think the playstation recovory plan is working. This morning I used the thumb to light a cigarette lighter for the first time!
Good luck Joe IV at state.

Great! Because that's what we wanted. You to be able to light up your cigarettes.
Monica
85 here in Minneapolis today and 44 in Duluth.
Do you know what an almoner is? Anne Boleyn had one with her till the end...
While she was queen she had a staff of 250!
It's someone who gives out alms.

She had six fingers on her right hand.
And yet she couldn't light up a cigarette lighter.

Grossest Mommy job of the week (so far): digging tiny pieces of broken baby food jar out of the garbage disposal.
And now the disposal doesn't work!
Tom can tell you how to fix that...truly!
If the disposal makes no sound whatsoever check for a reset button.

I think I may have the answer...does not beer get converted to blood sugar? Then I should crack a few beers everyday at about 4 pm. Purely medicinal.
Tom
Beer converts to blood sugar REALLY FAST but then after it spikes it falls fast, so the answer is to keep drinking it steadily all night.

No, but if I die of the "swine" flu...I'll cry.
I just made a stew. Calling it Hungarian Beef and Potato Stew. Lots of my new favorite ingredient - Smoked Paprika.

My obit better read "H1N1."
If anyone gets E, L or D's name for Christmas this year...please, buy them their OWN box of paper clips. Thx.
I just found a website that informs me Joe got 9th in the discus. Out of 24. 8th place is awarded points so he missed that by 1.

Good job Joe! :-)
