New exercise Routine if you're over 40
by qwerty innew exercise routine if you're over 40
new exercise routine if you're over 40. you might want to take it easy at first, then do it faster as you become more proficient.
it may be too strenuous for some.. always consult your doctor before starting any exercise program!

website that will shatter everything about the Jehovahs Witnesses
by watchmanofephraim inhttp://watchmanofephraim.tripod.com/
go to this website, take a little time to read what is on it, and it will tell that eveything that the witnesse have been doing since the very day they started has had nothing to do with the god of israel.
so dont feel anyway bad when any of you leave this lieing institute, they are responsible for more spiritual and literal deaths on this earth than any of the orginisations they slag off.

"After you become friends with your spellchecker, embrace as a lover would the rules of grammar."
Nathan...I just totally stole that line, and posted it on a professional recruiting site I belong to. (I did say it wasn't my own)
There are at least 100 candidates that I would love to email that to after reading poorly written resumes and cover letters.
You just made my night hahaha!!!!

Robert I agree with you there. There definately will be a generation or two that will be hurt by these changes, so those generations...I think those now in there late 30, 40s and 50s really need to do what they can to rev up their retirement savings out side of SS.
HOWEVER, I think these changes could mean something good for those younger generations after us.

WOULD YOU........................?
by Terry inhere is a serious question for you to contemplate and answer.. if, near the natural end of your present life you could receive a drug that induced within your brain a state of mind most closely resembling one long orgasmic "experience" (but, which would prove fatal within 24 hours) would you.........?.
1.refuse and accept whatever pain or misery naturally happened according to chance.. 2.accept and go out with a cosmic virtual "bang"?.
of course, tell us why you have chosen the way you have chosen.. part two.

If he were alive, I would tell him to take care of it himself hahah.

I won't go out to eat if I don't have enough to tip.
There have been a few rare times when I haven't tipped though: this one time, the waitress took about 20 minutes to take our order, never stopped by to see how we were doing, then it took at least 30 minutes AFTER we had finished eating to get the check. And that was after waiting about 15 minutes we went to the hostess station and asked if we could get our bill. We were told we could only get it from the waitress. We told them if we didn't get it in 5 minutes then we would consider the meal free and do a dine and dash.(yeah we should have left 10 minutes earlier, but my bark is bigger than my bite and I was afraid we would get reported. We were frequent diners there).
I think that was the worst service I have gotten. There have been a few other waitresses that have been rude or just plain crappy. 20% to me is for superior service, and 15% for good service. Usually if I get a crappy waitress I will still leave at least 10%. However, if I get someone that you can tell is still wet behind the ears...if they are NOT that great, but are at least polite I will still tip them at least 15%.
I used to be a waitress, so I appreciate what it is like to live off tips. But that being said, you shouldn't be made to feel that tipping is mandatory if the service is really bad. If you cannot live on your tips, maybe you should : A. try to get employment at a more upscale restaurant; B. get out of the waiting tables business.
By the way, most waiters and waitresses I knew never reported 100% of their tips.So no, they probably are not losing 15 to 20% of their wages, per another poster here. In fact, I ended up losing a waitress job because I was the only one that was. The manager told me that I was making everyone else look like they were lying. I told her that was between me and the IRS. Well, next week, I only got 1 shift, and so forth...I finally had to leave. The manager made it clear to me I wasn't the "team" player on that point I guess.
Also, if you don't make enough tips to make a min wage (It was like 4.25 when I was last waitressing) the employer has to pay you the difference. I don't know if that is a federal or a state law, so if it is federal, then there isn't really any waitresses making $2 an hour any more.
Yeah the pay still sucks, but if you don't like it, you really should do something so you don't get stuck working as wait staff unless you really want to.

Law and Order: the original and SVU. At first I couldn't watch SVU it was just too icky for me. Criminal Intent is eh...just not worthy of being called a law and order show. I do like Trial by jury...but it still isn't as good as the first two series.
The Shield
Dead like me...before it was canceled!!! UGH waiting for season 2 on dvd
Deadwood
Fat Actress
Medium
that is about it really. I love third watch but only watch it on reruns every now and then. I don't watch as much tv as I used to...I usually go in spurts...watch a lot for about 2 weeks, then not so much for a while.

Something has to be done.
The problem is that you are always going to have people that don't understand the whole concept of personal responsibility, or, those that understand it, but are not well informed on financial matters. These two sets of people may have a hard time with the program.
One thing I picked up on that I liked, was that it appears under the new plan you are able to leave the money to anyone you want if you should die. THAT is a great idea. I do like the idea of ownership that Bush was talking about last night. Whether or not that will actually be the case is another thing altogether.
The thing is though, regardless of how social security is going to change, people need to not rely on it 100% for retirement or disability. It scares me that so many people do. That's where, for me, the whole idea of personal responsibility comes in. There are too many people in this country that can set aside money for retirement, but don't. There are a lot that think they cannot afford it, so don't even make an effort to put even the tiniest bit away. Of course, I do know there are people that may be so poor that they really cannot set aside money for retirement without taking food from their kids mouths. But under the new plan, if it really will work the way Bush claims, this group of people will have a chance to make major decisions on how their ss money is invested. I have to tell you, I think for some that will bring them a great feeling, and maybe even encourage them to take another look at any employer investment programs that are available to them.
I used to sell insurance and investments about 10 years ago. When I met with clients, I took all their financial data, and presented them with an analysis on where they would be when the retired, or died or were injured...etc. What really scared me was how many clients would say, oh Social Security will take care of me...until they got their ss estimated report.
I guess it just amazes how people in a free market democracy really think the goverment is responsible to take care of them. I am all for helping those that need it. But maybe this whole SS scare and changes will wake up those that don't take personal financial responisbility for their retirement or death.
Just my two cents...

DO YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS OF ASPERGER'S SYNDROME?
by Terry inthere is a general impression that asperger's syndrome carries with it superior intelligence and a tendency to become very interested in and preoccupied with a particular subject.
most children with asperger's disorder have difficulty interacting with their peers.
they tend to be loners and may display eccentric behaviors.
