Lions 6-10, 4gm win streak (no longer active streak in the NFL besides the Pats) we're hungry, determined and angry. We've learned to win and not give it away in the 4th. Too bad the seasons done!
It should be an interesting draft!

Megatron was a big part of one or two of my fantasy championships this year. Didn't matter who was throwing to him, he was solid.Quote:

Even as a backup he is worth more then ever letting go. Especially with Stanton being #2 if Hill leaves. Ewww... (I'm a huge State boy but Stanton just isn't performing like Hill)
The draft will be exciting that's no doubt. Hill is a free agent now and I'm concerned they're just going to dump him. What a mistake.
I didn't understand why SF let Hill go, his play helped Singletary get the head coaching job.
Time for a nanny state update. No surprise here, the latest city to seek a ban on Happy Meals instead of dealing with real issues is... New York City.
We aren't happy people . I wonder when Comrie will propose banning dirty water hot dog stands ?
Want to see how long it takes for NY to ban being rude?
I don't suggest holding your breath,
Boston Mayor Thomas Menino just banned sugary drinks from city property.
“I want to create a civic environment that makes the healthier choice the easier choice in people’s lives, whether it’s schools, work sites, or other places in the community," said Menino in the press release issued last week about the soda ban.
Menino announced the ban to force people into healthier choices the day after reaching an agreement to allow the sale of mixed drinks at Fenway Park, as Coke is obviously the healthier choice when mixed with Jack Daniels.
Obviously something that would happen in Leftychusetts,Quote:

Speech, or at least living in the state he is a Senator for:)
Check out Oregon, politicians are elected but don't even reside here! Is that crazy? Ohhh I have not been up to date on all the issues of late, been out of commission, I can't wait to go read a good year of CRAP you guys write about! LMAO
Start, or showing up for work instead of being "fleebaggers" in another state.
I just need to get back into the swing of things and see what the hell is happening around this world. I will get back with you... LOL
Nice to see you back. :)
Some Chicago schools are now banning lunches packed from home. No word yet on whether they'll allow the sale of mixed drinks.
I read that in this morning's paper. The kids who packed their own lunches brought chips and soda and cookies. The school principal hoped the school would give them a better variety and more nutritious food. The kids are throwing it away.Quote:

I'm thinking the school should involve the kids in making up the menu. Both should compromise.
I can't imagine the ruckus my mom would've made if they prevented us from bringing in the lunches she made for her 5 children.
Actually... yes I can imagine it. She stormed the gates of the schools more than once.
She sent you to school with a lunch of chips, soda, and cookies? I think not! That is exactly why the principal is doing this -- the kids are packing their own lunches -- and badly. What would you have put in your lunch bag?Quote:

Go figure.
So they don't become obese monstrosities and run up the cost of health insurance?Quote:

I believe it was stated in the article that other schools are also participating in the ban. Its not stated as to which ones. So far as obese goes what's to stop them from eting more then one meal or when at home doing nothing outside and only playing video games? What studies are now showing is that the more active the children the worse off the diet is because of quick easy choices being made by the parents.Quote:

It's not a state "ban."
Then, whose responsibility is it?Quote:

Then the parents need to talk with the principals.Quote:

Do you really believe in one size fits all type of programs?
Sometimes cookies... sometimes chips too . Usually the sandwich was some brand of bologna conconction or peanut butter (would the school even permit me to bring that into school these days ?),on some soggy bleached white bread .It's the best my parents could do at that time .Quote:

What you are saying is that the principle is assuming the parents will act irresponsibly and has decided to assume the role of parent. This is all nanny statism . Yeah there are always good intentions . But bottom line ,it is not their place to decide what parents feed their kids.
Maybe they should concentrate instead on what they are paid to do. Teach the kids!!
And here is the rest of the story. Seems its being pushed by the Federal Goobermint.
Nachos for lunch? Yes, every day - Chicago Tribune
So today's menu is...
Chartwells Schools
I maybe ate lunch at school a half dozen times through sixth grade. I walked home the 5 blocks for lunch 99 percent of the time. In Jr High and High School I got an allowance for lunch, more often than not I ate anywhere but the school cafeteria. Face it, the food sucked and I would never force kids to eat school food or more importantly, say parents can't send their kids to school with a lunch.Quote:

Those issues would motivate me to speak up. When mine were in school they knew me by first name. I wasn't knitpicky but I did stand up against the system a few times. I also had a principle tell me that my son had surpassed the capacity in a subject for the private school he was in and they were surprised when I pulled him out of it the next day. Go figure.Quote:

So then parents will attend PTA meetings, parent-teacher conferences, and be comfortable in the principal's office talking about school policies and procedures -- and reaching compromises.Quote:

The abacus was gone when I was in school but we hadn't switched to calculators either, we had to think. You know, the next generation won't even be able to read the Declaration of Independence.Quote:
