It just so happens I need a maid.
I wonder if he has any good references, LOL!
A 60 year old having sex with a 16 year old is just sick. This man knew better and should be convicted and sent to jail. Now this child will have to face years of issues over these sexual encounters. He has also brought much shame and sadness to his family ~ which is so sad in itself as we have all watched his son work so very hard over the years to become a very respected professional. My heart goes out to both the victim and the Brazile family.
aggie engineering? really? that just might be the dumbest thing you've ever posted. or course you baylor grads wouldnt know that A&M is one of the top 10 engineering schools in the nation and has been for a long time.
The idea of a family of 4 eating out for cheaper than eating at home is INSANE. I have a family of 5, the youngest being a baby and not eating table foods yet. I can shop for the week, buying what is needed for 3 healthy, well-balanced meals a day plus toiletries and what is needed for the baby, and come out WAY cheaper than feeding four that at a cheap fast food place, just for dinners, that week.
Having a graveside service is less expensive. Funeral homes charge for each part of a funeral and I hear it isn't cheap.
Believe it or not my electricity bill went from $65 to $726. I had them check my meter and it registered 100%. I think it's highway robbery in play.
Gangs of New York is one of my favorite movies. Even having Cameron Diaz and Leonardo DiCaprio didn't ruin it for me. And Daniel Day Lewis plays a bad, bad man very well.
Note: There's even a connection between the Draft Riots in the movie and our current "global warming" situation.
I suppose if you're feeding your family of four spaghettios with a slice of bread and water then it would be cheaper at home but I've taken my family of four to Azle's Taco Casa and we all eat for $12. That's cheaper than tortillas, refried beans, grated cheese, lettuce, taco shells, ground beef, chips, queso to dip, and four soft drinks. If I did that at home it would be over $30. Even in factoring in gas from Boyd, eating out is cheaper.
Well thanks for letting us know you want a 22 year old male maid who will work for you naked. What does that tell us about you?
1. After nearly 2 years of the media forcing Obama down the throat of every American I still do not think much of Obama perhaps even less after finding out Obama spent 23 years as a member of a racist, anti-American, black separatist organization.
3. My electric bill for May was $499. My electric bill for June was $717.00 and there is no doubt my electric bill for July will be $1,000+...I will keep you informed. Incidentally, my electric bill for the months of November-March is usually $80-$90 because I have propane heat and cooking.
7. After wearing sandals/flip flops for 6 months it is always difficult for me to get used to wearing shoes. I think my toes are claustrophobic.
8. When whole chickens can be bought on sale for .79 a pound averaging $3.50 a chicken, 5 pounds of potatoes cost $3.50 a pound and 2 pounds of carrots are $2.00. It is MUCH cheaper to cook at home for a family of ANY number. It is the prepackaged, premade GARBAGE people buy that costs so much. The fact most people eat TWICE the recommended serving size has something to do with the INSANE monthly grocery bills for some people. Meat is meant to be used as a condiment/garnish NOT the main event.
10. I love reading the crazy stuff on Craig's List.
11. Brett Favre needs to remain retired. He now just sounds like a whiner.
14. I thought the Messenger detailing fondling "breast and vagina" as well as giving the time line of "sexual intercourse" was salacious for a small town paper.
15. Jarhead lost the 90% of his brain that he does not use thus, no longer has a source for his blog.
Read the header on Jarhead's blog, perhaps you will understand the reference.
16. Is there really any difference between Bennigans, Chili's and TGIFriday's other than decor? All of their signature menu items are shipped to the restaurants fully prepared or frozen and reheated.
21. Perhaps, you would better enjoy Singapore.
25. Many people who elect to have a "graveside service" rather than a religious service is because the decedent has no religious affiliation.
8:57 - right on - it is cheaper and funeral homes are just exhorbant in their charges....it also can be done with only family members attending, which appeals to me.
Lucas Oil Stadium? There's oil in Indiana?
Obama is just "politics as usual"...empty promises and same old same old.
I'm changing my mind a bit about McCain - he's even taking on his own party on some issues.
Good for him. They don't own the guy after all.
8:32 - Chill - you are taking your Aggie-ness way too seriously.
about 40 years ago a very wise man told me that i should never trust anyone who wears a bow-tie, or suspenders, drives a vw, or smokes a pipe...i believe he was correct on 3 of these,...can you guess which 3 ??
Yeah, 8:19 - wait until all the juicy details of a sixty year old and a sixteen year old get paraded before a jury, if it gets there.
Wonder which lawyer will defend Brazille's "rights"?
i believe wed. am chick was at a lipstick party with a bunch of wiseass county lawyers at bennigans in fart wurf...
I'm quite certain Mr. Brazile will be afforded the best defense money can buy..and I would bet he ends up with a heck of a lot better deal than some smoe with one of these local court appointed yahoos..no offense intended toward you BG..!!
Some Baylor grads are very smart. We married Aggies instead of those Nancy boys Baylor was trying to pass off as guys. I still remember one BU guy telling me that he didn't want to change his own tire because it might get him dirty. I saw no need for a second date.
16 year old chicks like sex a hell of a lot more than a 60 year old chick..and they are firmer, hotter,and a hell of a lot sweeter!!DOUBLE FAKE WARREN JEFFS...
Isn't it funny that usually your initial gut feeling is correct? Glad to see Barry eating B Hussein humble pie.
Big picture, 9:35. It is cheaper when you consider that when you buy the ingredients, they will not be completely used in that 1 single meal and, therefore, can be used in other meals that week as well. And spaghettios, puhleeze, but you can have a spaghetti dinner for about that price. That is of course if you don't find soft drinks a necessity for your children to be drinking at that meal. But hey, stick to your dining out approach....they have to get their obesity statistics from somewhere.
It is cheaper to eat out
For instance you can get
BBQ-you can get a family pack with a gallon of tea, 2 sides, 1/2 dozen rolls and 1# of meat for less than $25 and tell me you can cook all that for under $25.
Spaghetti and meatballs for 4 which includes rolles and a salad (with dressing) for $25. Go to the grocery store and buy ALL ingredients and see if its less than $25!!
Tacos are the same way by the time you buy meat, seasoning, cheese, lettuce, tom, and shells, its cheaper to have gone out and ordered it
Not to mention the time you save by NOt having to cook, Not having to do dishes--you save on electricity/gas and water
There are meals you can cook for cheaper than eating out, like STEAK (that really all that comes to mind)
9:16, I went through the same thing last year with TXU. I had them "check" my meter three times and according to them "aver-thang look jus fine, hell its all good". Then I contacted Phil King, yep, he said the same thing. That was a wasted call. It wasn't until I called my electrician and had him look at it. He basically told the guy from TXU he was full of crap because my electrical box "main switch" was shut off and my meter was still running. Here's the trick, all kidding aside, when you call them you have to ask them to "Test" your meter not "Check" your meter. When you ask them to check it they just come out, stand there and look at it, if it's turning it's good. However, when they test it a guy that actually knows what he is doing comes out and hooks up a device to it and gets the proper information. Hope it helps your situation.
Is it wrong to have sex with women if it helps them feel better about themselves?
8:56, the idea that eating out is cheaper than eating at home is not insane. It all depends on what is being eaten out and where, and what is being eaten at home. It is very easy to have examples that prove both opinions. It's cheaper to eat spaghetti at home than to take a family to Del Frisco's; and it's cheaper to go to McDonald's or Chili's than to buy nice steaks, all the fixings, and barbecue them at home, and so forth.
you sure sound a lot like my old lady, is that you honey..??
HOLY BATSHIT BG..BREAKIN F'N NEWS...BRITTNEY AND PARIS TO MAKE SEX TAPE FOR MCCAIN...this should put him in the white house!!!
Eating out is fun.
Going to restaurants ain't bad neither.
i would bet that every one of you who claim it's just as cheap to eat out are lazy-assed women who just don't want to bother with cooking and/or cleaning, obviously you don't have a f'n clue how to shop for groceries,and prepare nutritional meals for a family of 4 for under $25. DRINK MORE WATER..IT'S HEALTHIER..BUY ON SALE, USE YOUR FREEZER..EAT MORE LEFTOVERS!!!
I agree with 1047. I believe it's cheaper to eat at home.
1049 - A pound of meat to barbecue costs roughly $5. Four cans of vegetables about $4. Rolls about $2. Tea, an entire box of teabags that will make twenty gallons of tea, about $2.
meat - $5.00
sides - $2.00
rolls - $2.00
tea - $2.00
TOTAL - $11.00
Are these numbers wrong? Are prices in Lubbock incredibly lower than in Wise County?
Rock on, Mzchief!
10:47 made me LOL.
I like it when Jarhead changes his Spongebob pics. He's kind of "crabby" too.
Getting all worked up b/c we don't bring our comparison ads to Wal Mart with that granny bag of coupons holding up the check out lines? My VERY sports & exercise minded family who are smart enough to realize that they serve healthy food choices at some fast food restaurants are too busy living life to stalk grocery sales. You assume all people who eat out are overweight and lazy. I can't imagine my world being so small that I would get so worked up to drop the f-bomb which will ultimately be worse for your children than a few white meat chicken nuggets.
Today's lunch ticket from THE CUPBOARD in Denton:
Cupboard Self Serve salad $5.24
Tomato Basil Soup- Cup size $ 1.95
Sweet Leaf Diet Tea $ 1.49
Total with tax $9.39.
Healthy yes....inexpensive, no.
Tomorrow I will bring my lunch. Got suggestions?
12:56
So if you were to buy the ingredients to make that salad to have for lunch ONE day how much would it cost you. The same for the soup--I would have omitted the tea and had WATER but it sounds like a pretty CHEAP AND HEALTHY LUNCH(EXCLUDING COST OF TEA)!!!!
I wouldnt have done a salad AND soup. Just a salad and water. NOT EXPENSIVE AND HEALTY!!!
I DO NOT like eating the same thing day after day so the leftover lettuce and stuff would just go to waist... given, those thrifty(AKA CHEAP PEOPLE)would eat the same salad for a week just to not waist it!
12:09
I dont think you can buy just a pound of brisket at any grocery store around here!!! And it doesnt just cook itself either
12:56
Sounds like bread and water for you
To can you prove it in a court of law?
One of my favourite lunches to pack is chicken veggie lettuce wraps.
4 large leafs of bib lettuce (I prefer bib because it is a mild lettuce) that you have rubbed the side that will be on the inside with a drop or two of extra virgin olive oil and sprinkled a little Greek Seasoning. Pack oiled and seasoned sides facing each other to keep the oil and seasoning on the inside of the wrap.
A handful of alfalfa sprouts.
1 Roma tomatoe
a couple of fingertips of Feta cheese.
2 grilled chicken tenders.
Tablespoon of chopped Calamata or ripe olives
When you are ready to eat the wraps. Lay out the bib lettuce, oiled and seasoned sides up. Divide the alfalfa sprouts evenly and place on the oiled and seasoned side of the 4 leaves of lettuce. Dice tomatoe and evenly distribute atop 4 lettuce leaves.
Shread chicken tenders as you would "string cheese" and divide evenly among 4 lettuce leaves. Shreading the chicken tenders adds additional texture to the wrap.
Evenly divide and sprinkle Feta cheese and olives between the 4 lettuce leaves.
Carefully fold lettuce leaves like you would a taco and enjoy.
This can be done with left over thinly cut lean steak. Use blue cheese and Italian Seasoning rather than Feta and Greek Seasoning. Sliced or chopped raw mushrooms are great with the steak wrap.
Incidentally, all 4 chicken wraps are less than 250 calories if you do not over do the cheese, oil or olives.
Oh God, this blog has officially become the Oprah blog on exchanging recipes.
2:42, I agree with you. I hate to reuse anything that I buy if it is more than enough for one meal. I mean, what else can you possibly do with lettuce and tomatoes besides a salad! I can't believe these people that don't have more money than sense like we do!
Thanks for the suggestion Mz. I will try it and let you know how I like it. Me loves me some sprouts.
Bam up another notch!!
244 - I admit defeat. Food storage and presrvation, buying in bulk and cooking at home are obviously skills beyond human capability.
How can people afford to eat at home? And what are supermarkets thinking, selling products in quantities larger than single serving?
12:53 i never mentioned overweight, butt i am sticking by the lazy-assed women who just don't want to bother with cooking/cleaning, and i love to drop the f-bomb every f'n chance i get..thank you very much..now go buy groceries and cook for your family, it will make you a better person..besides you don't really know what you're getting at any resturant..DOUBLE FELON MARTHA F'N STEWART
6:50.........................
You're just being mean for the sake of it now. I insist you publicly apologize to Martha Stewart for dragging her name into a discussion with a fat, lazy redneck woman who doesn't want to cook. That's just hittin ole Martha below the belt. I knew Martha before she was a felon. Martha was a friend of mine. And you sir, are no Martha Stewart.
And speaking of hitting Martha Stewart below the belt, I would like to reiterate that I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN!!!
8:15 ok i sorry..!!
So food is costing you too much? The price of fuel and the price of food are going up. Some idiot thought that ethanol was a great idea. Hey, my cattle feed prices have doubled because the ethanol producers have ran the price of corn up. The feed lots that fatten cattle for slaughter (corn fed beef) have to pass their increased costs to the consumer. The truckers who haul these cattle from the ranch to the feed lot, to the slaughter house, to the grocery stores have to pass their increase in fuel costs down the line to the consumer. The truckers who haul the feed for the cattle from the farms to the wholesalers, to the feed stores, to the ranchers and feed lots have to pass on their cost of fuel. You can follow fertilizers that have to be put on rangelands and croplands through the same cycles, but I won't be redundant.
So, I sat down to a dinner of hamuburgers, fries and soft drinks with my son. My total bill for feeding two people at Fuddruckers was $16.00. If you like this picture, then keep voting for Democrates who, to save some animal that I have never seen or had a desire to eat, have managed to block exploratory drilling for oil off the Flordia coast and in Alaska. Why do fishermen like to fish around oil rigs out in the Gulf? Because these oil rigs give bait fish a place to hide from predators and increase their numbers. The larger fish feed on these oil rig residents and increase their weight and numbers. Then the fishermen come looking for big fat fish for dinner. So oil rigs are increasing the fish population of our oceans.
The point to all this is that the Democrates are driving up the price of fuel and food. Get Obama in office and they will also drive up your taxes. Government prograns are not free. If we tax only the rich, then they will pass these costs down the line to the consumer, just like they pass the price of corn and fuel down to the guy eating a hamburger at Fuddruckers.
