Is 20 pound for the weight like 30 pounds if a guy lifts?

No gym for home, work out floor with 30, but is it for 20 like 30 lb when you no lift it to be for men, for 30 lbs instead? or half is 10 for 20 pounds?

No wonder Clarence Thomas despises the alleged "help" of the self-styled "do-gooders".

They are enough to make you lose your lunch. It is hard to gain respect when people will automatically assume that you had "help" getting to where you are. They never think that maybe you did it by staying up late studying or that every time you ran into a barrier you just slammed your head against it until it fell. Oh no. That would mean that you were a full fledge adult rather then a dim witted child.

I have never liked liberals but now I am beginning to loathe them with every fiber of my being.

I will quit ranting now.

LOL! We have several printers around here. Could I get 6 CFLs for each?

...I have never liked liberals but now I am beginning to loathe them with every fiber of my being....

I can't even put into words how much I loathe liberal robots. They are slime. Swamp slime.

[Monkey Face]

And what would you do with 6 CFLs times the printers in your office? When they burn out, you have to call in Haz-Mat. GAH!

[sionnsar]

For what it’s worth, I can’t justify the cost of the darn things. So what if I burn incandescent bulbs? It’s my power bill, and I pay it.
If they contain mercury, I don’t want those “energy-effecient” lightbulbs in my house. Period. Send the lightbulb police to come and get me.

Our house is mostly outfitted with those, except for the "fancy" clear lamps. They aren't cheap, but I'm pretty happy with them. Others' reports of high failure rates don't match our experience, and they've pretty well taken care of the color issues.

The amount of mercury in a CFL is very small, much less than in the old mercury thermometers. And they're working at reducing it further.

But we're not far from LED lighting now.

Six for EACH? Hey, they said people would receive a “small token of appreciation” not “the raw materials for a profitable business venture”.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

They are slime. Swamp slime.

With slugs....

"I’m having a real tough time with my daughter and her liberal thinking, even though she says she’s a conservative. She BELIEVES there were no WMD in Iraq; that we “invaded” the country; that there is a “civil war” there."

The proper way to view events in Iraq is not through a military prism.

Ask your daughter what would be the best things that could happen to the people there, and ask what sorts of events are likely to let those things happen.

A dispassionate analysis should conclude that an expansion of Freedom would be best, not only for the Iraqis and their region, but also for the rest of the world.

Our purpose there is not the suppression of WMDs or of a particular religion, but the opening up of economic opportunity. With burgeoning economic opportunity, freedom tends to follow, and Iraq's economy is burgeoning.

By comparison, Iran's economy is stagnating. Even without military pressures, if things go on this way for very much longer, the people sneaking into Iraq from Iran will not be terrorists, but opportunists, seeking to better their lives.

Then someone needs to start walking around with a box of salt....

(Would that it were that easy!) ;o])

"I can't even put into words how much I loathe liberal robots. They are slime. Swamp slime."

Hey! Go easy with that talk about swamp slime!

I've made some new friends.

I'd use them, of course. Or stockpile them, as we already have spares on the lamp shelf.

HazMat? Not enough mercury in them for that -- and it isn't released when the bulb quits working, only when it's broken.

I seem to recall something from county recycling about CFLs -- while they'd prefer you turn in dead ones at the recycling centers, it's okay to put them in the trash. (Good thing -- nearest recycling center I know of is 15-20 miles away -- and INTO the city to boot.)

Has you daughter seen this or this?

[HKMk23]

Hmmm. Liberals. Slugs.

So THAT’S why lierals HATE Christians so much. It’s the whole “ye are the salt of the Earth”, thing.

How ELSE would one expect a slug to react to salt??

[Monkey Face]

I keep trying to explain to her that the people who are bombing the civilians in the markets and schools are NOT Iraqis, and that there is no “civil war” because the people who are causing the most damage are NOT Iraqis.

I think she’s just heard too much BS to really change her mind. I’m going to sit her down the next time we’re together and ask her if she remembers how enthusiastic her dad was in a political discussion.

No matter what her answer, I’m going to tell her he was that way because he studied political things from every viewpoint, and refused to take a side that wasn’t the RIGHT side. He could argue effectively because he had the information which led to the truth. I suspect he would not be happy with her views.

[NicknamedBob]

"How ELSE would one expect a slug to react to salt??"

At least slugs are worth their salt. Liberals, on the other hand ...

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

When they burn out, you have to call in Haz-Mat.

Well... no. We have them in our house. We have even broken a couple. You sweep it up and put it in a plastic bag and then out to the trash. Probably not a good idea to stick you nose next to the broken bulb and huff the contents but aside from that it is safe.

Even Sweetie who was a NBC officer and so is a major paranoid when it comes to such stuff is not alarmed by it.

[darkangel82]

That’s partly why I became a conservative, because of how completely insane the other side was.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

My sincere and humble apologies to the swamp slime and slugs.

They at least have a place in the eco system.

[Monkey Face]

Can you FReepmail me those URLs? I don’t want to broadside her, but give it to her in small doses.

*hug*

[Tax-chick]

Don’t spend it all in one place.
