TGHusker

You hang up your t-shirts? Oh man, that's the worst. You are going to stretch out those collars! T-shirts need to be folded. No talking about regular shirts going back on the hanger if they can stand the under the arm smell test.

Boy, I thought we had some 'far out' guys in Oklahoma.

Maybe their GPS was wrongly directing them to that TG party.

We use temp agency first as well. I needed someone in my dept a year ago. She eventually became an employee of ours and one of the best hires I've ever made. Nice to 'kick the tires' so to speak to try the person's fit for the job. Better than having to later.

I couldn't vote. This is rigged.

What you're referring to isn't AI. It's just programmed computers. Scientists that nerd out over this idea estimate that we'll have the tech and knowledge to reverse engineer the human brain within the next 20 years or so. That sounds farfetched, but technology increases at an exponential rate (aka if it takes 10 years to get a computer to "level 100", it will take 5 years to get to level 200, 2.5 years to get to 400, etc.), so the further along we go the faster we go. I don't believe that for a minute. This falls right along the lines that we were always told that by year 2000 we would all be flying around in hover craft cars. Maybe my standard was too low in my thread on which car you'd like to drive now on the Big Red Lounge forum, I should have said a challenger hover craft car. Were are the Jetsons when we need them.

My wife is registered Democrat and a minority, and I'm a registered honky Republican (from pre-GOP hijacking by the Tea Party). I can tell you the amount of 'end of the world' garbage email and calls I get *FAR* exceeds that which my wife gets, but there's still derp on both sides. I'd say it's about a 10:1 ratio during non-election periods, and 5:1 during election time. Frankly, if I have to hear one more pre-recorded call from Mike Huckabee about how Obama is going to steal my grandmother's walker and club white Christian babies with it... So Victor, if I may ask, of the potential Rep candidates is there one that you prefer if you vote in the rep primary?

Simple....don't be a registered part of either party. It's as liberating as a 60s teenager burning her bra. I don't know if that deserves a or a or a

You've just got to want it, it's that simple. No one is going to be able to motivate you unless you can motivate yourself. Realize that you don't actually need that ice cream, and it's not actually benefiting your body in any way. Understand this is a long term thing and you're going to stumble here and there, but you can be successful in the long run. If you really are having a hard time with sweets or snacks, try cutting down on their portions first rather than trying to eliminate them entirely. Or even limiting yourself to having them once a week. There's nothing wrong with indulging in them every now and then in moderation, but don't create a habit or give into an old one. Thanks Brother. I had a good self talk this weekend. Time to move forward wt the right attitude.

Guys, I have to admit - thus far I've lacked the discipline to get it done. I'm at the same weight if not up a couple of pounds. I have got to develop a new mind set - does anyone have some good 'self talk' exercises in which the mind kicks butt without quilting said butt back to a bowl of ice cream??

Yea, because of my voting registration, I get a lot conservative junk mail - there is a new crisis each week that will ruin the world if we don't act now. I'm sure if I was registered dem, I'd get many from the other perspective.

Victor - I receive your corrections with a humble heart. I painted you wt the same broad brush I thought you were painting me with. Again, my apologies. By the way I'm not a fox watcher - at least not more than what I watch CNN - both about the same - which is very little as I don't have time to sit in front of the TV. You are correct about Bush also releasing prisioners. Your statement as the prior administration was also involved in securing Bergdahl. set me off in my criticism. Thank-you for correcting. With your correction above, I would have agreed with you - that we've negotiated prior than this situation. I do still however (whether agreed to by TP or Fox or not - not my concern) personally believe that the concessions of giving away top terrorist leaders was heavily weighted in the favor of the other side. However, I'll give Obama this benefit of the doubt: our society here in the USA does have a different value on life and so we often go to the extreme to secure the liberty of our citizens - so I shouldn't be so harsh on the outcome. He was still a soldier and we traditionally do all we can to bring them all home.

I would respect the Koch Brothers more if they started dressing the part: I always imagined the Koch Brothers more like I thought about Palpatine, but he hatched a plan from within with little more than his wits and Sith training. The Koch Brothers are just relying on the brute force of their daddy's millions and brainwashed Randian ignorance--still evil, but without nearly as much critical thought. You guys might find this surprising, but I happened to hear Glenn Beck, who I don't listen to unless I want to see what is going on far right, on the radio, I know , and what caught my ear was that he was aligning the Koch Bros, wt Carl Rove, and Grover Norguist the big anti-tax, supposedly arch conservative in a plot of supporting Muslim Brotherhood and other shady types. I thought, "this is a new twist". The story from Beck's The Blaze: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/03/26/grover-norquist-gets-his-chance-to-defend-against-accusations-of-being-an-agent-of-influence-for-radical-islamists-not-true/ http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/03/25/the-message-glenn-beck-got-in-the-middle-of-his-special-on-grover-norquist-that-will-affect-the-rest-of-the-week/ Glenn Beck hasn't been the voice of anything other than his particular brand of crazy for years. It's not a twist, insomuch that it's a way to sell subscriptions and stir the pot for his listeners who (ironically?) need a boogeyman to sleep well at night. That is true. Why I don't listen. I did at one time... years ago. You can only take so much negativity, conspiracy, etc without going nuts yourself. I use to listen to talk radio all day 4 years ago and found I was becoming the most negative person around. The problem wt modern conservatism is that it has become to much of "against' - more negative. They aren't putting forth enough positive alternatives which are available. But it is the 'against' that rallies the voters, brings in money, etc. This is also true on the other side - each side invent bogey men instead to keep the money flowing.

You're 100%, but remember, they're all about love and if you don't agree with them, they'll f*cking kill you... That's the Tea Party for you--they're all about love, and if you don't agree, they'll f*****g kill you. I suppose it would make for a good 2016 Presidential Campaign slogan for Ted Cruz, at any rate. VectorVictor can you not post without labeling people. TP has noting to do wt this thread same as Ted Cruz. I'm sorry you don't care for me labeling things in the same fashion as what was done above. Yea, don't want to single you out. Sorry about that - I apologize for that.. Yours was just the last post wt the label and I could have been more general. You weren't the 1st to use the TP label.

VectorVictor can you not post without labeling people. TP has noting to do wt this thread same as Ted Cruz. You can have some good things to say on different topics but doing the label thing without justification or merit diminishes what you have to say. I'm trying to get away from using the 'liberal' label as a derogatory statement as I understand it causes people to close their ear to what I have to say. I can embrace liberals as being sincere, good willed, American supporting without being derogatory. Knapp's moderation is wearing off onto me. We all come from different perspectives - some conservative, some liberal - that is not right or wrong in itself. There are some very sincere minded people on the far right (tea party) and some very sincere minded on the far left. That doesn't make them bad people - just a different perspective in how to fix a problem or meet a need. Hopefully the center right or the center left can be the answer in most cases as the far extremes have their solutions modified by the process. Regarding the topic of this thread I'll have more to say later, but I'll add this for now: We are all skeptics in one way or another. Even believers have moments of doubt (“I believe, help me with my unbelief”). Skeptics range from ‘near belief’ all the way to atheism. On some topics I’m a skeptic – certain political views, certain religious views for example. Thus, I like to think all of us are on the same journey – the journey of finding truth in our lives and a world view that makes sense of life. It does no good to show the arrogance of thinking you have cornered the truth on knowledge. There are many brighter lights that have debated this subject throughout the centuries then those of us on this forum. For every ‘believer’ who has become an unbeliever, there are atheists who have become believers – at the highest level of this debate. So criticism of another person’s belief in ‘an invisible friend’ only shows unfounded arrogance in my opinion. Instead we should respect each others path they have walked. We aren't all that different and we can gain from each other in different ways if we allow ourselves the freedom to ‘listen’.

This. And let's not forget this isn't just an 'Obama' thing, no matter how hard TGHusker herps and derps, as the prior administration was also involved in securing Bergdahl. If anyone should apologize to those family members, it should be Bergdahl (assuming he is found guilty), and frankly, the U.S. Military for taking Bergdahl on when, had they not let their standards lax in an effort to get bodies to fill uniforms, Bergdahl would not have been accepted. As for Susan Rice's comments, yes, she shouldn't have said what she did without having all of the facts. But then again, when has having all the facts kept Tea Party idiots and the extreme fringe of the GOP from opening their mouth? Or is TGHusker now asking for all of them to apologize for every falsehood and misstep they've taken as well? Good grief you are all over the map - you bring in the tea party, the last admin (double good grief 6+ years in and you still bring up Bush when that wasn't even the topic - get over it - must be the "Bush derangement syndrome". If this happened under Bush I'd be saying the same thing. If Condi Rice said Berg served wt honor and Bush released 5 high ranking terrorist, I'd say the same thing. You also need to get over the Man-Crush you have on Obama. It isn't anti-American to disagree wt the president and to be critical of him and to label anyone who does as being Tea Party (again way off topic ) is showing blind faith in Obama and childish. I may be conservative but I'm not tea party. I do agree that Berg should be apologizing.

A bit of an over reaction. Yet, I'm really curious what the 'agreement' will be that Kerry will be signing. http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/John-Bolton-nuclear-weapons-Obama-deal/2015/03/26/id/634716/

The bold: It would be so funny if it wasn't so sad - deserving of a double :facepalm: and a triple :waste

Soldiers died looking for the deserter http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/06/02/we-lost-soldiers-in-the-hunt-for-bergdahl-a-guy-who-walked-off-in-the-dead-of-night.html Obama should apologize to each of these families.

How will the admin spin this one?? -- Susan Rice said he served wt honor. Justification for releasing 5 thugs who want to kill Americans. http://www.breitbart.com/video/2015/03/25/susan-rice-flashback-bergdahl-served-with-honor-and-distinction/

Guys, my wife suffers from fibromyalgia. We have been thinking of relocating wtin Tulsa, downsizing now that we are empty nesters. However, I got to thinking that Oklahoma weather is tough on her - constant weather changes makes her pain worse. Have any of you had any experience (either self, spouse, relative or friend) in which they found relief from pain by moving to a new state? We hear that San Diego is the best place but as nice of a town that it is, it is too expensive to eventually retire too. I've heard recommendations for NM, Ariz, Utah, Wy and Colo. but like to see if any of you have first hand knowledge that such a move made a difference. Thanks

This thread is hilarious but it is also so - you can tell it is the off season. Me: I wash, note I not wife, everything once a week except towels - every 2 weeks. I figure, hey my body is clean - I'm just wiping off clean water. But then again one does have to consider the dry skin stuff. Everything gets washed after one time on the body except shirts if I wore a T-shirt under the shirt. If it can stand the under arm smell test , it goes back on the hanger. Blue jeans - typically wear 3-4 times before washing. So they may make the weekly wash. Tell, me I've never considered wearing them for a month or many days without washing. What makes you think they don't get BO (as in body odor not former coach who gave off a sulfur odor when he left) on blue jeans?

Man's quest for immortality continues.

Yea, that struck me too - made me proud to be a Husker. I think this whole staff feels fortunate and not entitled. We'll see it on the field. Embrace tradition and then they will play up to that tradition (and coach up to it as well)
