"Don't Treat Your man like a dog" is another great one. Thanks for posting AFTR.

Oldschoolguy

Yeah, guess I didn't hide that too well, think? 28 years in the USPS. (Just hoping they don't drive it off in the ditch before I get out.)

Yes Tabby, if you enjoy the blues she is the real deal. She is from a city near where I grew up. She was in Sapphire, The Uppity Blues Women. Look them up on Youtube. Great band. Great ladies.

<t>Well, for a lot of reasons. Mainly to keep jobs at the USPS. But, the math of this idea are just not well thought out by postal management. Just a typical knee jerk reaction. Or, to get Congress to act on this issue. The mail is processed seven days a week. Mail is only delivered 6 da...

<t>I just finished reading a book called "Fat and Cholesterol are Good For You". It's by a researcher, M.D. and Ph.D. Uffe Ravnskov. He claims there is no such thing as bad cholestrol and that there is cholesterol in every living thing. The book is a real eye opener. He also says that you...

My wife just got a prescription for medicine to counter-act dizziness. One of the side affects is......drum roll.......

dizziness!

I am still cracking up! :yh_rotfl

next it will be Dramamine- may cause car sickness.

Anyone else?

Oldschoolguy

<t>Remember this is not to go into effect untill 8/13. It also very likely this is just a ploy to get Congress off their collective asses and do something to repeal the pre-funding mandate that is the true source of this problem. If enough constituents complain to their legislators that they want to...

Oldschoolguy

<t>The reason the USPS seems to be so far in the red is due to a pre-funding mandate imposed by Congress in 2006 that requires the USPS to pre-fund it's retiree's benefits 75 years in advance. No other company or corporation is required to do this. That combined with the fact that the USPS receives ...

I never drink on a day that doesn't end in Y. And, I only drink when I am alone or with friends.

Oldschoolguy

<t>A woman drove me to drink and I didn't even have the decency to thank her. I don't drink anymore. Of course, I don't drink any less, either. I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day. - Frank Si...

Is it to keep the tears from getting in your drink? :wah:

Oldschoolguy

<t>Yeah, it's not JUST the drug companies. The healthecare industry here in the US is so complicated that it would be near impossible to narrow it down to any one particular element that is failing us as consumers. Dr. Welch's book describes the healthcare industry from every perspective...

Oldschoolguy

Dr. Welch even writes that some of the studies/testing done are by the drug companies themselves who hire writers to give them (drug companies) the results they need to get a drug on the market.

Oldschoolguy

I believe that is a great idea. I second the motion.

<t>I just read this book by Dr. H. Gilbert Welch. He states that many people are "overdiagnosed: people becoming patients without any symptoms." Perfectly healthy people becoming patients and prescribed potentially dangerous medicines based on questionable guidlines some of which are actually set by...

<t>Never drink and drive. You could hit a bump and spill your drink. That's why they make whiskey bottles square, so they won't roll out from under the seat while you are driving. Just kidding really. They set up check points around here and even post where they will be. They...

Oldschoolguy

<t>Yes, I have noticed that drinking a beer or ale out of the old "frozen mug" takes away some of the flavor of the beer and all you taste is cold. I have started just using a beer glass not frozen. Sam Adams designed some drinking glasses made specifically for their beers and these seem to work wel...

You know, way back in the 60's. LOL

I always try the natural remedies myself first as I am hardly ever sick.

<t>So, I guess with this topic as well as UFO's and such, it is simply a matter of people who need to believe and people who don't. Good arguments can be made from both sides of the argument, but people just have to choose which side they are on. I am the eternal skeptic, and ...

<t>Yes, I agree and would not want to fall out because of this, but I can't just up and fly out to Cali whenever I feel like it. I don't really like to fly anyhow and it is a 3 to 4 day drive one way. The true test will come this next weekend. Saturday is my birthday. Sis-in-law just happ...
