hee hee!

txt - the birthday comment I think was a tipping point and I would gather that most have been biting their tongue.

I'm sorry, but I just can't get on the band wagon....I would hardly say that you have been "applying like crazy". Applying like crazy would be doing what most adults do when unemployed - make getting a job a full time job - no laying by the pool.

Hard to take you seriously when I have a 17 year old working almost 35 hours a week.....

By the way - do you pay your boyfriend rent since you are there so much?

Just sayin' ......

Anyone ever shop online at Zappos? DS got shoes there and I'll admit - I can't believe their free shipping policy. It's amazing. He had to return the shoes for a bigger size - free shipping here, back and back here again.

OK...

It would be pretty good, if the reason you had no job is you were laid off and you had no job despite having seriuosly looked for work, been helping your mother out in such a way that she would not even THINK of kicking you out because having you around is SOOOO helpful and you're usually pleasant company to boot.

However... At the beginning of the summer you just decided you wanted to do nothing but "hang out" like a silly 15 yo. girl who has nothing better to do. You've spent 2 years complaining about how you aren't getting ahead and you seem to have an excuse for everything you don't really want to do. It's 2 years later. Anything change? And then you come here and either complain about your situation (which, at this point, is 100% totally of your own doing), or squeal with glee over how you'll be partying with friends just as soon as you get back from the pool...again...


So yes...I suppose paying your bills on time even though you have no job is good. If that's all you aspire to.

Food for thought.

Dew - yes, I think we do. I remember looking it up at some point. It's there I believe.

Sounding more and more like Orton will be our starter. Tebow still seems to struggle with the footwork involved in taking the snap and throwing the ball. Will be interesting that's for sure.

Whoa - okay I recognize some of this talk -

I thought they were saying on the news (okay, some time last week, I am behind) that they were trading him and making Tebow the starter? They acted like it was a done deal. What happened?

I think some posters today got up and had idiot porridge for breakfast, followed by idiot pastrami on rye for lunch, and are just now indulging in idiot pizza with a shot of idiot espresso to follow.

Honestly, I JUST CAN"T DEAL today.

jk - No takers on Orton and he apparently looks substantially better than Tebow in training camp.

Some of it was most likely purchased and consumed in the gut mall

Yay!

I also thougt Tebow was going to be the starter. My problem is I follow the Cardinals so closely, I slip up on the other teams and what they're doing. MM, you are much better at that then Iam.

Wanna come over and help me vacuum the side of my house? Apparently we got hit by another dust storm last night. Went out to get the mail and everything facing south is pink.

Come on over, Fin! Work away your frustrations, lol!!
