I had to start watching my sugar last month after my yearly blood work showed elevated blood
sugar. Funny......it use to only take me 15-20 minutes to buy groceries.......did anyone
know they have these neat things on products called nutrition labels? LOL.....
Seriously.....since I started reading the labels for sugar content, it amazes me how many
products have HFCS (high frutose corn sweetner). It doesn't matter what you eat anymore,
almost everything has HFCS. Heck, I even heard that some fast food places put sugar in the
french fries when they cook them. No wonder everyone is getting screwed up. Too much sugar.
I've cut out all white bread of any kind, sugar soft drinks, chips, pasta, rice just about
anything you can think of that has sugar.
Once a week a bunch of buddies of mine get together at a pizza place for lunch, I only
take a couple slices of pizza, and even that I scrap the good stuff off, eat it and leave
the crust......
I'm like you. I was raised in the "glory days" of NASA, in the 60's, but now, they are just a big
hole sucking up money. The original shuttle design was suppose to be sort of a piggyback dual
aircraft design, but budgets ended that, and they went with the external tank, SRB's.
Once you light those SRB's, it's going somewhere that's for sure.
60's design, 70's built, 80's flown....the design is around 40 years old!
I think where NASA screwed up is when they canceled all the Apollo style vehicles.
With the budget cuts they had after landing on the moon, I guess they didn't have a choice.
What they should of done, in my opinion, keep working on the Apollo style crew launch vehicle,
and then design a "flying truck" that can fly remotely. They can fly the shuttle up and back
without human intervention now (as with the remote cable talked about to fire the landing
gear manually), so why risk lives on something as accident prone as the shuttle.
I'll give them this, they've done a great job keeping it going, but it's time to retire it
and move on.
Did you read? I said use the Soyuz to ferry the PEOPLE up and use the shuttle as an unmanned truck.
Until the USA goes back to the ELV's like the Russians do, I'd keep people off the shuttles. lates 60's technology, built in the 70's, not flown until the 80's. Old, out of date. I'm surprised it works as well as it does. Hats off to the NASA guys (the blue collar, not white collar) that keep it flying as well as it does.
Go fever......gets you in trouble every time.
They don't need to be flying MANNED shuttle missions......it can all be done remote control.
Use the dependable (how said is that?) Soyuz to get people up and down, and use the shuttle
as a damn pickup truck until the USA/Nasa gets off it's butt and builds more ELV's like Apollo.
Kind of reminds me of an old saturday night live skit.......

Happy Fun Ball comes with a lifetime guarantee.
I hope they are doing this! If you look at the names of those who flew the planes into the
buildings, they ALL had arab sounding names. When people who's names sound like (insert your
own preference) start flying planes into buildings, or blowing stuff up, we should look at
those also. Part of the reason for the terrorist ability to strike the USA was because of
all the politically correct crap that has gone on in the USA over the last 30 years.
If you want to see how screwed up things are, rent the UNCUT version of "Blazing Saddles"
and if you are under 30, you will get a serious education on how the "PC" crowd has screwed
things up!
You can't say anything anymore without "offending" someone.
Well, grow up, get a backbone and GET OVER IT!
Give it to the UN, and you watch what happens to the net.
ANYONE who questions their dictate, will be cut off of the net.
The UN is about as anticapitalist as it gets.
I mean come on, putting Sudan, Iran on the board of human rights?
What a joke.....not to mention the oil for food scandal....
You're looking once again at something designed in the 60's, built in the 70's, flown in the 80's 90's that needs to be RETIRED. It's old, not very dependable (considering what they are asked to do with it). The expendable launch vehicles are far more SAFER. They can launch & land the shuttle without PEOPLE on board. Design something similar, but without all the envirometal systems needed to keep humans alive, use a ELV to get people up and down, and relegate the shuttle to a museum, or
gate guard outside KSC, or the Johnson Space Center.
Time to put this worn out horse out of its (and our) missery!
I know it's a concept thingy, but building something that looks like a bicycle with a fiberglass
body isn't going to do anything to improve the MGP of the LOW effecient internal combustion engine.
The gas engine hasn't really "changed" since it was invented. I'm not a rocket scientist (but I did sleep in a Holiday Inn last night), but the rotary engine is about the only thing I've seen that comes close to an "improvement" on internal combustion engines in the last 100+ years.
I've had people ask me why I've never gone to contacts or had Lasik....
Couple of reasons. One, allergies, that leaves out contacts.
My job is the main reason I put up with the hassle of glasses.
I work on printers, fax, copiers, networks and you have something
once in a while fly up and hit you in the face. Be it liquid or solid.
I few years back I had a spring clip fly up and smack my glasses, dead
center in the left lens. Had I not had glasses, it would have hit me
in the eye. Yeah, if I had 20/20 and safety glasses it would have it
those, but, I'm not taking any chances with my eyesight even if the
surgery is 100%. I've heard that some report night time driving in the
rain is a problem also....
She should sue her parents from not protecting her LOL.
Any parent who allows their kid open access to the web is nuts!
I don't care how "mature" a C-H-I-L-D is, any computer in my
home would be in a common area, and the only way they would
be allowed on any "social site" would be with me or my wife
watching. There are too many perverts on the web who will
attempt to take advantage of children.
A responsible parent would have never allowed their children
to meet someone on myspace anyway.
I'll second that! One thing that really bothers me is having one of those
go off in a movie theatre or restaurant. Is it THAT difficult to switch it
to silent mode before entering? If you can't hold off on blabbering in a place
like that, then you are either too vain or an idiot LOL.
Personally, I'd rather see cell phone jammers become more common--in restaurants and theaters, especially.
I'll believe duke nukem (takes) forever when the soviet union and
berlin wall collapes.....
Wait, didn't that already happen?
I think one of the signs of the end of the world will be when duke
nukem forever comes out. LOL

Seems more like the death of the entertainment industry.
They've tried to bottle up the public's ability to make
LEGAL copies of movies, songs etc...so now that they have
done it, they want to cram crap down our throats. Bad movies,
bad records.....the industy is in a "slump" not from piracy,
but from the CRAP they produce.

Didn't see which stores carry it, but still again, I haven't had but one bottle of Mt. Dew to wake up
