A friend told me to try eharmony.com. Spent 30 minutes going through 20 pages of dumb and repetitive personality questions and ratings only to find out that you can't even see anybody's picture unless you've paid the membership fee. F that stupidness. There's a reason I put high priority for the question asking if sexual attractiveness was important to me. And I need to know if the girl is telling the truth when she puts "average" or "slender" body type. I'm going to kick my friend in the junk next time I see him.

No I'm not proud to be shallow about body type, but physical fitness is important to me.

I agree with you, fitness is important to me too.

The Last of The Kennedy Dynasty

As soon as his cancer was detected, I noticed the immediate attempt

at the "canonization" of old Teddy Kennedy by the mainstream

media. They are saying what a "great American" he is. I say,

let's get a couple things clear & not twist the facts to change the

real history.

1. He was caught cheating at Harvard when he attended it. He was

expelled twice, once for cheating on a test, and once for paying a

classmate to cheat for him.

2. While expelled, Kennedy enlisted in the Army, but mistakenly

signed up for four years instead of two. Oops! The man can't count

to four! His father, Joseph P. Kennedy, former U.S. Ambassador to

England (a step up from bootlegging liquor into the US from Canada

during prohibition), pulled the necessary strings to have his

enlistment shortened to two years, and to ensure that he served in

Europe, not Korea , where a war was raging. No preferential

treatment for him! (like he charged that President Bush received).

3. Kennedy was assigned to Paris , never advanced beyond the rank of

Private,and returned to Harvard upon being discharged. Imagine a

person of his "education" NEVER advancing past the rank of Private!

4. While attending law school at the University of Virginia, he was

cited for reckless driving four times, including once when he was

clocked driving 90 miles per hour in a residential neighborhood

with his headlights off after dark.. Yet his Virginia driver's

license was never revoked. Coincidentally, he passed the bar exam

in 1959. Amazing!

5. In 1964, he was seriously injured in a plane crash and

hospitalized for several months. Test results done by the hospital

at the time he was admitted had shown he was legally intoxicated.

The results of those tests remained a "state secret" until in the

1980's when the report was unsealed. Didn't hear about that from

the unbiased media, did we?

6. On July 19, 1969, Kennedy attended a party on Chappaquiddick

Islandin Massachusetts . At about 11:00 PM, he borrowed his

chauffeur's keys to his Oldsmobile limousine and offered to give a

ride home to Mary Jo Kopechne, a campaign worker. Leaving the

island via an unlit bridge with no guard rail, Kennedy steered the

car off the bridge, flipped, and into Poucha Pond.

7. He swam to shore and walked back to the party passing several

houses and a fire station. Two friends then returned with him to

the scene of the accident. According to their later testimony,

they told him what he already knew - that he was required by law to

immediately report the accident to the authorities.

Instead Kennedy made his way to his hotel, called his lawyer, and went to

sleep. Kennedy called the police the next morning and by then the

wreck had already been discovered. Before dying Kopechne had

scratched at the upholstered floor above her head in the upside-

down car. The Kennedy family began "calling in favors", ensuring

that any inquiry would be contained. Her corpse was whisked out-of-

state to her family before an autopsy could be conducted.

Further details are uncertain, but after the accident Kennedy says

he repeatedly dove under the water trying to rescue Kopechne and he

didn't call police because he was in a state of shock. It is

widely assumed Kennedy was drunk, and he held off calling police in

hopes that his family could fix the problem overnight. Since the

accident Kennedy's "political enemies" have referred to him

as the distinguished Senator from Chappaquiddick.

He pleaded guilty to

leaving the scene of an accident, and was given a SUSPENDED

SENTENCEOF TWO MONTHS.

Kopechne's family received a small payout from the Kennedy's

insurance policy and never sued. There was later an effort to have

her body exhumed and autopsied, but her family successfully fought

against this in court, and Kennedy's family paid their attorney's

bills.... a "token of friendship"?

8. Kennedy has held his Senate seat for more than forty years, but

considering his longevity, his accomplishments seem scant. He

authored or argued for legislation that ensured a variety of civil

rights, increased the minimum wage in 1981, made access to health

care easier for the indigent, funded Meals on Wheels for fixed-

income seniors, and is widely held as the "standard-bearer for

liberalism". In his very first Senate roll he was the floor

manager for the bill that turned U.S.

immigration policy upside down and opened the floodgate for

immigrants from third world countries..

9. Since that time, he has been the prime instigator and author of

every expansion of an increase in immigration up to and including

the latest attempt to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. Not to

mention the pious grilling he gave the last two Supreme Court

nominees, as if he was the standard bearer for the nation. What a pompous ass!

10. He is known around Washington as a public drunk, loud,

boisterous, and very disrespectful to ladies. JERK is a better

description than "great American". "A blonde in every pond" is his

motto.

11. In anticipation of his demise, his latest antic is to give the governor of Massachusetts the power to appoint his replacement

to the Senate. Ironically, it was he who led the successful movement to deny the Govenor that power five years ago when Senator John Kerry was a presidential candidate and Mitt Romney was Governor....Yep,

He's all about fair play!

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) -- There is an epidemic in an old gold mining town in western Arizona: The wild burros that roam the town's single street are overweight, with rolls of fat on their necks and big, full bellies. But don't blame them. They'll eat anything.

It's the half million tourists who visit tiny Oatman each year. They're the ones who have been feeding these critters carrots, hay or anything else, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management says.

The agency, which manages the burros, has launched a campaign it hopes will eventually steer the burros back into the desert to forage for grass and shrubs - and get them back into shape.

[dem beats 1,223]

awesome. I bet they spend 3million in the great mule heard of 2009.

reminds me of the Simpsons episode

C'mooooooooon! EAT THE CAN!!

[dem beats 1,223]

I toasted 3 fuses sunday starting my truck. I purchased a box of the same amp fuses, but these dont even hold out enough to start the truck they just flash upon trying to start.

this sucks.

[///M5 2,833]

Fuses for what?

Put a resetting circuit breaker in place of it, see if that helps.

well i crawled up under the beast and I saw more bare copper exidation on the ground than i did insulation.

I'm not sure, because all the strands are intack, but I think it may have something to do with it....

[dem beats 1,223]

do they make breakers in those itty bitty sizes?

I didnt know they cam so small. I was really afraid to mix breakers with fuses for a long time. I have a Huge 30 amp breaker for the windows. I fried it one day working on the mat for my doors. I replaced it with a fuse though and ill be damned its the only electrical thing still working flawlessly on that machine.

Im still getting missfires. In the cold I dont get many if any at all. I will replace the COPs a second time and use grease this time, but if that doesn't fix it, it may be time to take it into the shop.

[dem beats 1,223]

i would love to put 15k into my truck and make it some amazing off roading 600hp beast of doom.... but I'm cheep, and I like to learn to fix it as it breaks. I wish I had more time to learn more about how everything works together and had hours(and the garage) to work on it

[vladd 26]

i would recommend tracing down the wires, don't put a bandaid on a gunshot wound. You probably have a bare wire grounding out somewhere if you have that much exposed copper

yep. Thats totally my guess too. I was trying to use some sarcasm.

I was actually pissed thinking its a ground though. tracing wires is a m effer.

New starter is just bingo bango new parts in old parts out. this will be cutting loom/sheald, finding the start and stop point... etc.
