"all you need is love"

$3.29 if you pay with cash.

suddenly it was raised to $3.49 today.

Last night that would have put the winning run on second. I was glad to see Wood go after him and get the better of him.

me too, but he almost loaded up the bases AGAIN, which shouldn't be happening. grrrrrrr.

$3.29 if you pay with cash.

has Neil left Houston yet?

is that a marmot?

I do think it is crass though to take pictures to profit. I still think it is tacky and crass that there are several vendors right outside selling 9/11 goods for profit.

this is one reason why I avoided the area today. it makes me what to vomit.

Your horny opinion would be about wood.

They are going to the playoffs.

what I mean to say is he could blow it in the playoffs. I want the Cubs to go further!

anyhoo, it's just my horny opinion. Wood is too risky as far as I'm concerned.

so, they should get rid of their closer 3 weeks before the playoffs start?

yes. whatever his stats are, every time I see him play he either barely makes it through the inning or he blows it. he's blown it too many times and he could do it again and ruin our chances in the playoffs. the Cubs have other closers, like Carlos Marmol, that can do the job just fine. sorry, but I'm not waivering on this.

Wood hasn't been terrible out of the bullpen, in general, this year. Not sure what kind of $ he actually generates for the club as he's been injured/washed up for the most part of the last 8-9 years.

every time he comes up to close the last inning, I bite my nails. he inevitably loads up the bases pretty much EVERY TIME! my husband is fully prepared to boo him if he closes at the Mets games in a couple of weeks. it's frustrating as hell. when he's good he's good. when he's bad, he's absolutely awful.

he's actually been pretty good. some bad blown saves and close calls, but good.

no. he throws more pitches than should be necessary for a closer every time I see him play. he blew it the other night against the Cards, a team that we must beat. no no no. get rid of him!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Kerry Wood needs to retire. I don't care how much money he generates for the club. he has risked game after game for the Cubs, single handedly. he almost cost us the game last night. it's time to go Kerry.

My guess is most people don't consciously think about it on a daily basis so much anymore--which is probably healthier--but that day definitely changed forever that any illusions of invulnerability I ever had. Anything can happen at any time in life. You can fear it or accept it or try to ignore it, but its always there.

this is so true. when we first moved here and I had to go into the city by myself to look for work, I was very very nervous. now, riding the subway and coming to work in a high rise every day is just something I do and I try not to think about what could possibly happen. if we all obsessed over it, we'd be paralyzed.

I was in Nashville for an insurance company very close to the airport. I remember hearing about the first plane on NPR and also assumed it was a small plane. once I got to the third floor where my cubicle was, everyone was talking about it. you couldn't access CNN online or anything to get coverage, we had no televisions for some reason, so we listened to the radio. I called my husband and told him what happened; he was still asleep. he continuously called me with updates every 5 minutes. I worked with a lot of people in NYC, so I was very concerned about everyone. I remember the skies were quiet for a couple of days after that and when we saw the first plane we spotted in the air, it was just an erie feeling.

a month later, my husband and I came to visit NYC for a wedding. it was my first trip to the city and I had never known what it was like to see the towers. I remember how nice everyone in the city was; kinder and yet still on edge. you could still smell engine fuel if you got close to downtown. we moved up here 6 months later. on the ferry to work this morning, the boat paused at 8:45 for a minute as we approached the site. I could see sadness in the eyes of those that were here and experienced first hand. I always have a lump in my throat every September 11th and listen to the readings of the names with tears in my eyes. it's a tragedy that I will never forget and should never be forgotten.

damn, the kid has a movie in cause she can't sleep. Is it good?????

yes

I hope someone is watching Barrack on Letterman right now.

That's just too much. McCain has used this term time and again, and now he is crying because Obama used it????

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/09/10/...in4433795.shtml

 

Tonight Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., said of McCain painting himself as a change agent, "You know, you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig." ... "You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called 'change,'" Obama continued, "it's still gonna stink after eight years. We've had enough of the same old thing! It's time to bring about real change to Washington. And that's the choice you've got in this election."

I KNOW! Barack wasn't even talking about her, but because of her "lipstick" comment at the RNC, the McCain campaign is turning his statement into a personal insult.

What are you people going to talk about today?

"lipstick on a pig"

"The more the New York Times and The Washington Post go after Sarah Palin, the better off she is, because there's a bigger truth out there and the bigger truths are she's new, she's popular in Alaska and she is an insurgent," Feehery said. "As long as those are out there, these little facts don't really matter."

yeah, who cares about facts when she's new, popular and an insurgent. not to mention a maverick.
