MSNBC asks the Israeli Ambassador why they attack Hamas positions, as all thouse 13.000 rokets are inaccurate and don't do much damage. So why not simply endure them?

It's the elderly that fall prey to these scams disproportionately. Speaking of which, I wonder if Steve has that $20 he owes me.

We play the same set of random numbers for each drawing over 13 weeks. 1 trip to the store to buy the ticket, then one trip to cash it in.

Yeah-that's why I play too. It's a cheap fantasy.

I've no rational basis for thinking I'll win and agree with those that say that the lottery is a tax on those that are bad at math.

Ditto here. We used to play for kicks in NY but never won more than $2. The WU actually has better luck on slot machines (not surprising, really since the odds are significantly better). I have no luck at all.

Reports of my demise are greatly exagerated . I've emailed you. I've Skyped you. There are smoke signals leaving Omaha for LA. What we have here boy , is a failure to communicate...........

No . I went in for a RX refill. And being a military facilty , that means waiting most of the day for a two minute talk with the new doctor. And for the Pharmacy to fill the RX. But that means the better part of the day exposed to coughing,snorting,snotting bipedal little mobile germ factories (sick kids) which will generally render any semi healthy (non-parent) into a terminal state with hours.

I've been very busy. CB's just waiting for his turn. (He's been home sick , due to said mobile germ factories).
