I'm from Northeast Ohio so I am, unfortunately a Cleveland fan. Being in the Central Division we play the Royals a lot. That being said, of course during the regular season I hate the Royals! But I hate Detroit more (believe me, they are the rudest fans), so I have to say I am rooting for the Royals one,because they can prove to the Tigers that someone in our division other than Detroit can win the series, two, because they haven't won in so long and the Giants seem to always be winning, and three, because George Brett is still hot in his 60's! Shallow reasons, I know, but us Cleveland fans have to root for the under dog. I do think it's awesome that 2 wild card teams are in the series. Last time that happened was 2002, and one of those teams was also the Giants., who I believe beat the Angels. The Royals are playing better than ever and they will have home field advantage.

What would you do?
by ctrwtf inso i travel alot for business and check into a hotel, start putting away my things and lo and behold in a bureau drawer, find a couple of wt's a couple of awake's and two tracts.
1. throw them in the trash and forget about it.
2. leave them where they lay and forget about it.. 3. leave a note for the housekeeper asking to lay off the cult recruitment.. 4. bring it to the attention of the management, and possibly get the housekeeper fired.. thanks for your input.

I would take them and throw them away someplace else because if it is the housekeeper she will just put them back for the next guest.

The Threat From Ebola by Somebody Who Discovered It
by cofty inthis interview in der spiegel is well worth your time.... peter piot was one of the scientists who discovered ebola in 1976. turns out it was the fault of catholic nuns who coldn't be bothered to sterilise the needles they were using to administer vitamins to pregnant women.. he describes the present outbreak as "a perfect storm" which could claim a frightening number of lives in africa and india.
he doesn't see it as a serious threat to countries with a modern health care system.. "i still remember exactly: one day in september, a pilot from sabena airlines brought us a shiny blue thermos and a letter from a doctor in kinshasa in what was then zaire...".

Well thank you for clearing that up. The Republicans are blaming it on Obama.

I really don't understand this
by keyser soze inwhy, if you're a health care worker who's been exposed to the ebola virus, would you get on an airplane and travel right after?.

Sir82, yes, thats right. Its just that his family would be further out in that time count than the nurses, thats why I was wondering. Its really remarkable that none of them have the symptoms, or at least its not being reported. Think I will just watch the baseball game and have a few pumpkin beers to take my mind off it!

Just thinking, that while everyone here in Akron and Cleveland are starting to freak out, I dont believe I have heard that any of the family of the man who died in Texas have shown any symptoms. I would think they would be sick by now?

Yes, they are reporting she was closely involved with the care of the patient who died. CDC says no way should any of these people be on commercial airlines. Oops, kind of like closing the barn door...well you know the rest. Apparently she was here to plan her wedding and came in contact with many family members, all of whom now have been told to stay home and not go to work. Three of them work at Kent State. Oh my God! Now they are saying she DID have a low grade fever when she traveled back to Texas. OK, turning off television now, too much information!

Yep, it just got real in my backyard. She traveled here to Akron to visit her mother. It has been on all our local channels nonstop since noon. Apparentley, they were told not to travel, but it was left up to their own discretion if they were showing symptoms. Man, can't begin to imagine the people she came in contact with from the time she left her home till she returned!

The 1995 Ebola Zaire outbreak was started by a JW
by ILoveTTATT inthe dead man is gaspard menga, a jehovah's witness who was the first person to contract ebola in 1995. the people around him, are his family.
within a month, most of the ones on this picture were dead from ebola.
it was because of gaspard that we now know that african burial rites are a mayor cause in spreading ebola.

Yes, punkofnice, that reminds me of when Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell said 9/11 was caused by "feminists, gays, lesbians and the ACLU".

Come with me, back to the 1980s--you know want to.
by FlyingHighNow ini don't know about ya'll, but i did not appreciate the 1980s enough.
i was too busy lamenting how different they were from the 1960s and 1970s to bask in and appreciate how wonderful they were.. this is 80s music, especially new wave music, and 80s fashion and culture appreciation thread.
what did you love about the 80s?

My life changed big time in the 80's. I learned to drive, I was 30 believe it or not I waited that long, and for some reason got in to country music. Driving and country music seemed to go together, and no I wasn't driving a pickup truck. I think I got into country because as a child of the 60's with the Beatles and the British Invasion music that I loved, 70's rock music was just too loud and radical for me and I had stopped listening. Country seemed close to light rock. That also seemed the time when country was still country before so many cross over people started calling themselves country. But I did like some rock like Hootie and the Blowfish and I am really happy that the voice of that group, Darius Rucker, is now doing country. I also admit to liking Michael Jackson, but never, ever believed he was a practicing JW!
It was in 1984 that my JW hubby found another younger JW sweetie and I was on my own after 12 years of faithful wifedom. Went back to work, met new non-JW hubby, had my daughter and have never looked back. So while the 80's were briefly a bit of turmoil for me, they were also my years of freedom from the JWs.
