A new record for me.... 1 post in an entire thread!!

Randall... LOVE what you've done to the place Well... excpet for those penguins.

Looks like everyone else got the thread-opening text but me. Glad I could chime in here on page 38. Happy Tuesday all!

It seems like that is what is happening. I am for the ability to work hard and earn money, but this income disparity thing is just over the top. The government gives tax subsidies, they can hire more lawyers and pay a lower tax rate than me and raise the cost of their goods to make more profits. Dave Ramsey in his new book talks about making a great income and then paying the people that work with him a great salary. But, I guess I get a some back in my mutual funds. I don't think it needs to be taxed away to the government, but employees and shareholders rewarded. But, that can't be legislated.


The tower didn't seem to stop Ryder. As for the trip, I would pass on that short a trip for a longer one later in the year.

The income disparity seems insane to me. Don't really want to write a long tirade railing on tax rates and loop holes, but with being in different positions when selling multiple companies I've seen it from all angles and it frustrates me.

Yeah the trip was definitely too short. We had a 4 day trip in Jan and We have another longer trip setup in May.

Welcome Don.

Congratulations to both of you! As Charlie Sheen would say...Winning!

Winning rocks!

Thanks.

I wish Sun Country would publish their airfares for September and October before they jack the price another $20.

ISU got robbed. That was a charge at the the of the game by Kansas.

I guess you want a text too? I'm thought I would post on Facebook when I open a new thread. <(")

But we all know the state of Indiana is where basketball became significant.

Amen, preach it brother Andy

Little good news/bad news...

Glad it was a quick fix.

My son called to tell us he's scheduled for his 3rd year crew member flight in the #7 jet on Saturday! If these budget cuts mess this up, I'll really be annoyed!

Good news. Here is hoping Mike.

You are just being an extra downer...

Nah, just payback for some of your previous posts.

Evening guys,

We had our Middle School JV Boys District championships today and here are two of the happy winners...

Great picture and congrats to the coaches and players.

Called and was able to get reservations at most times we wanted without much trouble...

Glad it worked out for you. I don't even bother trying to book online. Have had nothing but problems with their reservation systems. It took their IT guys multiple tries just for me to be able to log onto the DVC Members' site. Still have occasional problems at that site.

Is the Princess lighting fires and tipping over cars?

No. With only three Big East wins this year, I'm not sure they know how to act when they do win. Called her while she was on the bus back to campus and I asked her if the kids were celebrating. She told me it was pretty quiet. She was pretty excited though.

hurray we made it through ROFR again. Hopefully this time the contract will actually close. All in all it will have taken us almost 6 months to buy a DVC contract if this goes through. I'm still with f**** because they already had my deposit so I just rolled it over to another contract.

Hope the 2nd time is the charm!

I don't know who you're going through, but when the name of the place has to be censored, it can't be a good sign.

Well, my back is loosening up a bit today. I wasn't sure as it was very tight and very painful just standing up out of bed this morning. Hopefully this means I'm on the way to recovery and not just getting used to the pain.

Good luck! Hopefully everything will go smoothly from here on in. I hope to be joining the ranks of the DVC membership one of these days though I have no idea when.

I just wasn't sure if I could say company names.

 

[DisDadDoc]

Hey, guys! Did I miss anything?

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Hey, guys! Did I miss anything?

No, seriously. What's your question?

 

[DisDadDoc]

No, seriously. What's your question?

Well I'd like to say I missed you guys too, but many of you followed me on FB and I wasn't particularly focused in the boards last week!

Congrats......again Ryan

Ahem.

No.

That would be Kansas. Where the inventor of the game coached, and then was succeeded by the the father of basketball coaching, Phog Allen. The vast majority of coaches who have made any significant contribution to the game an ultimately be traced back to Phog Allen and his progeny.

 

[AJRitz]

ISU got robbed. That was a charge at the the of the game by Kansas.

That last call could've gone either way - Niang was stepping and leaning away from the contact before Johnson got to him. By the time there was actual contact, he may even have had a foot in the no-charge zone.

But in the larger context of the game, frankly it was to be expected. It was a horrifically badly officiated game on both ends from the start. Phantom calls against both teams. Missed violations against both teams.

ISU was using a moving screen all game to free up McGee - whichever player was in the middle of the court would just slowly walk down the lane, with McGee cutting off of him. The screener never stopped and got set, just walked the lane screening off at least one (and sometimes two) players. Young raised his hand and "ate" a foul that probably should have been on Withey. But that's partially Hoiberg's own fault. During the stoppage in play, he could've requested that be reviewed and corrected, but he didn't.

Those of you that have seen the Lion King broadway show......

Would this be a kind of show that may be better to be viewed from a balcony location?

I know sometimes you lose some visibility sitting low in a theater for some of these shows.
