Do you need any more freon? Blocks of ice for your backyard pool, perhaps?

Probably not... that's something you're good at. I'd hate to see you get in trouble for it. :)

Yep... Manny homered in the first with Juan Pierre on base...

Methinks our stRange friend knew already... :)

Of course he had a reason. But was the reason related to the actions of THIS rider? I doubt it VERY much. I agree... especially about the conclusion.

Want me to FedEx you some FREON?

I'm not so sure the "judge not, lest ye be judged" admonition relates to our duty to serve on juries...

Bottom of the 9th: Russell Martin singles to lead off. Manny grounds into a 6-4-3. 2 outs. Kent out F-4, game over. Win number 293 for the Big Unit.

I have to imagine that wierwille had many more situations present themselves wherein he was given the opportunity to turn from his wickedness...

God doesn't violate free will, right? Like Balaam and his mule, one only accepts correction when one becomes open to it... which poses more serious questions about that man's ministry.

So far ManRam has been no factor in his first game as a Trolley Dodger... unless you count letting a Chris Snyder bloop drop in front of him for a base hit... Snyder later scored the second run for the Dbacks who now lead 2-1. Both starters are out of the game... Chan Ho is on the hook for the loss and the Big Unit is in line, at this point, for the win. But Manny's dreads sure look good in Dodger Blue.

In terms of "strictly speaking," I don't know. In terms of common sense, given that any such "diet plan" is primarily a guideline (or set of them) for developing lifelong healthy eating habits, I'd say (based on discussions with nutritionalists/dieticians) that it would depend on how frequent the occasion. Indeed, there are some benefits to the occasional beer or glass of wine (especially red wine).

I believe a lot of them (angels) work as RN's.

A likely story... reminds me of the time -- on the golf course -- I hit a nice 4wood t-shot that went straight at the pin... but was a bit too strong... I made some sort of "if I had done... it would have..." statement. Was playing a round with a friend and another twosome we didn't know... the one guy barked out, "yeah, but you didn't!" Yeah, but they're NOT!

Speaking of Gagne, I was watching the Cubs/Brewers game yesterday on WGN as I was waiting to be unchained from the ICU and Gagne takes the mound for some mop up time with the Cubs ahead 9-1. On a 3-0 pitch to Edmonds (who had homered twice earlier in the game) the first batter of the inning, Gagne throws behind Edmonds. The ump didn't hesitate even so much as to breathe before giving the ol' heave ho to Master Eric. Pretty quick meltdown for the hairy youngster, I'd say... Hey!!! I heard that!!!! :P

I'd be happy to facilitate godly distribution of your ABS for you! Don't have a cow... but I had a coronary, and it wasn't about Manny going to the trolley dodgers! Fortunately, the Dbacks have been playing well lately (probably -- at least in part -- because they again have Tony Clark in the clubhouse)... so, it MIGHT be too late for the Dodgers anyway (I hope so anyway)... but if the Dbacks can win this series with the Dodgers, that might make it a bit harder for those in Blue to over take the snakes.

WTF is right! I'm not liking this!!!!!

Speaking as a concerned citizen, I AGREE!!

I'm confident some of us will record this edition of Larry King Live.... I just set mine to do so.

At the BOB, the concession stands don't get much business... since the first season, the prices have been outrageous... so, many people (including me) bring our own food... usually pistachios. The only drink item allowed for fans to bring in is water in unopened containers... so, many bring water. Beer is like $8/cup. That's insane.

OKC, Since no one else has responded, I'll just mention that many of us GSers have known about Rood's post twi "ministry" for a long time. It IS remarkable in just how far out there he seems to be... but it's not new or news to many of us.

That kind of doctor/patient relationship is NOT therapeutic; in AZ it's defined statutorially as UNprofessional conduct (probably in every other state also, but I only know about AZ because of my (no longer held) job having to have my head into state laws and proposed laws); and is cause for revocation of the license of the provider. And if it wasn't a risk facing many patients and health professionals, it wouldn't be spelled out in state law.

Of course, you should also be able to find that book at your local library.

Besides what others have said, you may want to become familiar with reading the Nutrition Facts on labels of almost all foods these days. That will tell you how much and in what balance or combination that item is in carbs/fat/protein. Atkins sounds daunting, as in giving up all the stuff you love, but it's really not that bad when you get right down to it... or if not going gung ho on Atkins, decreasing carbs and increasing protein however you choose to do it. There are lots of ways to make your meals interesting without adding lots of sugar and starchy foods. I have had no trouble at all giving up potatoes and most fried foods. On veggies and meats, various sauces (like cheese or cheese sauce on broccoli) and various Mrs. Dash saltless concoctions work wonders in making it feel like you're not giving anything up. To sweeten things, SPLENDA is wonderful.
