1. Hi, ralps!

:hi:, everyone! Drive by. Off to watch the Dolphins.

[SeattleGirl]

3. Hi Patsy!

Good luck to them! Hopefully they'll do better than the Seahawks did yesterday. :hi:

[ralps]

4. Hi Patsy!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

20. Hi Ralps!!!

Fuuuuuunny kittie!!!:rofl: :hi:

[SharonRB]

18. They're never worth mentioning

But how about those Wolverines this year? Go blue!

[SeattleGirl]

19. Your Wolverines are doing great, Sharon!

So are my Ducks!

[SharonRB]

23. Congrats!

I just hope they can beat MSU Saturday.

[SeattleGirl]

26. Yeah, both UM and MSU are unbeaten, right?

Well, I'll definitely be pulling for Blue!

[SharonRB]

41. Yes, we're both 5-0

Thanks for the support!

Our pass defense sucks. That's what I'm really worried about.

[SeattleGirl]

47. I was chatting with MrScorpio the other day and that's the

same thing he said. Though so far, they seem to be doing the right things to overcome it, so that's great!

I thought the Ducks were going to lose on Saturday. They were playing Stanford, and at the end of the 1st quarter, Ducks were down 21-3. They ended up winning 52-31!

[SharonRB]

49. Wow!

That's some game.

[SeattleGirl]

52. One of the best ones I've ever seen!

Ducks ended up with three interceptions, including one that was supposed to be a touchdown pass for Stanford, and turned all three into touchdowns! :woohoo: :woohoo:

[GigiMommy]

58. I WATCHED that game!!!

:fistbump:

[GigiMommy]

25. Oh yeah!!! Hi Sharon!!!

I'm glad we got to go to a game. It was our first one. Note to self: next time park closer.:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

27. Hi Gigi and Miss Cassie! Hugs!

Nice you got to go to a game!

I haven't been to a Ducks game in several years. They always sell out. Maybe I can talk one of my sisters out of one of their tickets if I went to Eugene!

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[CBHagman]

51. Hi, GigiMommy!

:hi:

The smiley is more energetic than I am tonight...

[GigiMommy]

57. Hi CB!!!

I hear ya. Fighting a cold has me a little tired; even took a nap today.:hi: :boring:

[SeattleGirl]

2. Hi ralps!

That kitteh cracks me up! :hi:

[ralps]

5. Hi SeattleGirl!!!! Thanks!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[SharonRB]

13. Uh oh

Do those new Pacific times mean you will never have KO on at the same time out there as he's on here? Good news for you to see him at a normal time, but bad news that he won't be on when the thread is going. Might have to start doing an 11 p.m. ET thread.

[ralps]

15. Hi SharonRB!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[SeattleGirl]

17. I don't like that at all.

Since he has been on here at 5:00, I can watch other TV shows in the evening when they're on.

Nope, I don't like that at all.

Oh, and hi Sharon! :hi:

[SharonRB]

21. I didn't think you'd like it.

:hi:

It's gotten so I DVR all my non-MSNBC shows and watch them the next day. I wish I could watch them while KO, Rachel and Larry are on.

[SeattleGirl]

24. I don't have a DVR.

Guess I should get one, though some shows I can catch later on OnDemand.

Good thing Detroit 187 is on after KO would air. The only way I can watch that otherwise is online, and ABC's streaming quality sucks.

[SharonRB]

43. That one I miss Larry for and watch live.

[SeattleGirl]

50. I love that show!

Though did you know they film part of it in Atlanta? Remember in the episode where the female detective crashed into the telephone pole? That street she was driving on was on a bit of a hill. I saw that, and said, "That must be Atlanta, 'cause Detroit is flat as a pancake!" :rofl:

[SharonRB]

53. I know -- that street looked weird.

I think they only did that for the first episode. The rest are all supposed to be filmed here.

[SeattleGirl]

55. I hope they are.

I can get my Detroit fix!

[SeattleGirl]

28. Hey, do you or anyone else know where I could stream the

show at 5:00 once it changes timeslots? I used to be able to watch it online, but the site I was using stopped carrying it.

[GigiMommy]

29. Hi SG!!! Sometimes I can get MSNBC on this...

(hope this helps):bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

33. Thanks, Gigi! It works!

6. Sharron Angle told this Teabagger candidate that the GOP have "lost their priniciples"

But if he drops out of the race and supports her, she'll give him the benefit of her "juice" with DeMint, Cantor, and McConnell?

Juice with DeMint...that DOES sound like one of Bleever's drinks!



:rofl:
rocktivity

[SeattleGirl]

8. Hi rock!

Angle gets more bent every day! :rofl:

[ralps]

9. Hi rocktivity! LOL for Sharon!! Holy Crap!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl:

[GigiMommy]

46. Hi Rocktivity!!!

[WolverineDG]

7. I canNOT believe Keith is spinning the Cranick story that way

the cheap-ass homeowner lives in the county, which has no fire department. The near-by city DOES, but he doesn't have to pay taxes to support the fire department. So, the county & the city have an agreement whereby the county residents pay $75/year for fire protection. This idiot didn't pay the fee. I'd love for Keith to ask Mr. Shithead why the city residents should foot the entire bill while he gets fire protection for nothing.

Oh, & :hi: all! :loveya:

dg

[SeattleGirl]

10. Hi Wolvie!

Well hopefully Keith will ask him why he didn't pay the fee.

:hi:

[ralps]

11. Hi WolverineDG

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[GigiMommy]

16. Hi Wolfie!!!

That's very interesting. :hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Berry Cool]

30. The point is, fire coverage in the county should be covered by taxes

that the county residents are levied so as to pay for the city's fire services. Asking people to pay a la carte for their fire protection, then withholding service from people who haven't paid, is inhumane and a godawful mess.

As things stand, if you owe city tax and you're behind in your payments and your house catches fire, the fire department isn't going to know and if your house catches fire, they will still try to put it out. They won't stand there and watch your house burn because you're in arrears.

[ralps]

32. Hi Berry Cool!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

37. Oh, and hi

:hi: Sorry, folks, but I don't think basic police and fire services should be on a for-fee basis, I don't care where you live. Especially because when a house catches fire and it's not put out, it spreads to the houses of people who DID pay. Which is what happened in this case. This situation should never have been allowed to happen. If it means levying extra "taxes" on county residents for city services, so be it.

[WolverineDG]

56. The city can't levy on property that is outside its jurisdiction nt

[rocktivity]

38. Does the punishment fit the crime? And suppose the fire had spread?

Is that while the fire trucks bothered to show up--to make sure the blaze didn't cross the county line? You don't HAVE to pay the $75 fee, but you don't get service if you don't? That's downight thuggish.

:headbang:
rocktivity

[WolverineDG]

54. No, it's called "spreading the costs" nt

[SeattleGirl]

22. Bay-Air!

:loveya:

[ralps]

31. IMO Roberts & Alito need to be Impeached for Lying to Congress!! but

that's probably not going to happen! Grr :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :grr:

[SeattleGirl]

34. They absolutely do, ralps!

This story is just obscene!

[ralps]

36. We need to have publicly financed elections!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[WolverineDG]

35. No, Keith, he is *NOT* paying taxes AND a fee for fire service

why is such a simple concept so difficult to understand? :banghead:

(btw, we're going through this in my county & I have no sympathy for freeloaders who expect my neighbors & me to pay double taxes so they get something for free)

dg

[Berry Cool]

39. So if your neighbor's house catches fire and they didn't pay

and their house catches your house on fire, you're just going to sue their ass off, I guess?

I think if this is what your county is doing to handle fire services, it's ridiculous. Is the police service the same? If someone tries to rape you in a back alley and you manage to call 911, the cops won't show up if you didn't pay a fee--and well, that means you deserve to be raped?

And also...do your neighbors really expect you to pay double? That's like saying people who show up in the emergency room when they have no health insurance are doing it deliberately because they expect you, the taxpayer, to pay for their health insurance. Sounds like a teabagger argument to me,

[GigiMommy]

45. Hi Berry!!!

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

48. If you paid your fee, they'll put out the fire at your house

which is what happened this time & why the FD was there in the first place. As for police protection, outside the city limits is the jurisdiction of the county sheriff's office.

dg

[Berry Cool]

60. Fine, but why couldn't the county collect his fee as part of his tax bill

and then take care of paying the city? Why would it be such a big deal?

Normally, when a fire department comes to a fire, they come because the fire is within the fire department's service district and they try to put it out. There is no haggling over whether the owner of the property on fire did or didn't pay their taxes and whether they're trying to chisel someone else and whether they're trying to rip off anyone to get free services. Sheesh.

[GigiMommy]

40. What the #^$% is that FOOL talking about!!!

Beck is an idiot.

[rocktivity]

44. Forcing people to work for no pay--an "innocent" idea?

Sounds more like a "plea insanity" idea to me.

:eyes:
rocktivity

[ralps]

42. Today's worst person in the world is Gov Rick Perry!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :wow:

[Berry Cool]

59. See, I don't get it. If this fire service fee was just folded into his taxes

there would be no issue of his "forgetting" it (which, yes, does happen). Somehow it seems strange to me that this guy would deliberately skip paying a $75 fee just because he was hoping not to need fire services. I guess I'll never succeed at persuading anyone of that who thinks he was just trying to sneak past the fee and get his fire services paid by other people, but hell.

I'm of the belief that fire, police and similar services are things that should NEVER be separate-fee, a la carte services. I don't care how things are set up locally; have people pay for those services as part of their local taxes and if those fees then have to be parceled out to a city, fine.
