        I like the phrase, "Let's roll!" It's a call to action, something positive. The saying, "That's not how ... by Eri 2011-09-02 15:28:12
        
        How about "Homie don't play that?" Or "that's not my bag?" I use that one. by TB 2011-09-02 09:30:57
        
        Replace Homie with Tom? I hate anything that sounds like referring to oneself in the third person. :) I remember when ... by FrankC 2011-09-02 16:53:11

        I use the homie one....heh...I got it from some clown (literally) played by Damon Wayans on "In Living Color" by Jody 2011-09-02 09:44:36
        
        My all time favorite for friend(homie) is, "I am your Huckleberry". by FrankC 2011-09-02 16:57:26

Super Earth habitable? by Eri September 1, 2011 4:40 am

If its habitable, its only marginally so. The planet is very massive, so unless it has a correspondingly large radius, the ... by hank 2011-09-01 06:38:44
- Thanks for the clear, concise summary of what this planet could be and why. Very interesting. by Eri 2011-09-01 12:13:18

Well, whaddaya know. When I broke open the case it actually WAS the beating of his hideous heart! - ... by TB 2011-08-31 15:32:42

Do we define our circumstances, or do circumstances define us? by Jody August 31, 2011 10:14 am

Can you be a bit more specific? by TB 2011-08-31 13:09:47
- Well, actually everything is relative isn't it? We are born into our parents' belief systems....and if we are fortunate enough, we ... by Jody 2011-08-31 13:12:48
  - There is such a thing as becoming way too involved in navel-gazing. :) The answers to most important questions are pretty ... by TB 2011-08-31 16:29:50
    - Heh...my daughter basically told me the same thing...:) by Jody 2011-08-31 17:39:47
      - The most important questions don't have any answers at all. That is why they are called "important questions". If ... by ER 2011-08-31 18:24:15
        
        Not "the most important" questions. "Most important questions." Note the difference. That people are still looking for ... by TB 2011-08-31 19:03:13
        
        You're right, it's a subtle distinction, but certainly a valid one. But still, be careful, I do believe I ... by ER 2011-08-31 19:32:18
        
        Another subtle distinction is that "simple" and "easy" are not synonyms. by TB 2011-08-31 19:39:30
        
        Neither are "right" and "true". by ER 2011-08-31 19:43:29
        
        Depends on which definition of "right" you're using: morality, or accuracy? :) by TB 2011-08-31 19:51:58
        
        Choices often resolve to a question of semantics. Here's the answer to your question. Listen carefully. And check out the ... by ER 2011-08-31 20:11:35
        
        Great stuff! I remembered the drink routine, but had completely forgotten the magnetic armor gag. by TB 2011-08-31 21:03:10
If history truly repeats itself...then it would seem circumstances define us...or we are insane....or both. by Jody 2011-08-31 12:27:04
Both. Or neither. You are generally told the former by someone who wants you to do something you'd rather not, and ... by ER 2011-08-31 11:53:29

CEO's earn more than companies pay in taxes by Eri August 31, 2011 5:12 am

You still don't get it, do you Eri? These are the "job creators". They're being rewarded for all those jobs ... by ER 2011-08-31 06:12:34
- In that case, the CEO's should be paying US. by Eri 2011-08-31 12:53:29
  - Oh, they will. As soon as they get their tax cut. by ER 2011-08-31 13:17:32

Huh? by Eri August 30, 2011 7:32 am

“multi-lateral debating societies”. Isn't that what's called a "democracy"? by ER 2011-08-30 08:04:55
- That's certainly what I thought it was. Obviously, Mr. Perry doesn't think much of Democracy. by Eri 2011-08-30 11:28:28
  - People like Mr Perry find it inconceivable that people who don't agree with them can have honest and principled reasons ... by ER 2011-08-30 11:52:05
