It's more hideous than ever all of a sudden. Can I get the old page back?

...by American companies overseas? In other words, just how many jobs COULD come back to the states if American companies were free to be just as profitable operating in the US?

...you know, like the "thinking" one because I'm so smart, or the "sweaty" one because I'm such a hard worker...

What do you think? Any suggestions? Thx!

Or, in reverse: tech is to science, etc...

Having a hard time coming up with an appropriate analogy. Help appreciated!

My automatic transmission has been acting strangely for a few months - going from "not so bad" to "will the tranny engage today?". Today it will not. For a while shifting from park to reverse worked pretty well, consistently - but, from park or reverse to drive did not. There was a hesistance getting drive to engage for several seconds. Then it became a few minutes to several minutes. Today, nothing at all - reverse or drive. I can hear it trying to engage when I shift to 1st, but still nothing. Tranny conditioner from the parts store was helping a little. The fluid's good and topped off. There are 70K original miles on the engine/transmission. Granny miles. Driven daily, but for short distances (4-12 miles at a time), and only on the freeway 3 times/week.

I have a feeling it's a linkage problem because I was able to coax it into gear by gently rocking the shifter between nuetral/rev./drive with some success for a while. However, I know a 20 yr old car may have some tranny seal issues as well. Dried up? Btw: no leaks, ever.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thx.

Ok, it's actually a distance, but my Trig. instructor demands proper grammar when writing out anything numerical. I would write it (without punctuation):

"one hundred eighty four and five tenths of a foot"

but something looks weird about it...

How would you write 184.5' ?

Plz & Thx

Ok. So, fellow Americans and voters, what advice would you have for the White House that may help put Americans back to work?

...what would you do!?

...would it be?

...that makes use of the word's two paradoxical definitions, preferably without the use of commas.

Plz & Thx

Unfortunately today being Monday I was unable to stop into the Presbyterian Church that posted the above sermon title to ask about its meaning.

Anyone have a clue what "Sin is Man's Declaration of Independence" means?

Comments? Plz & Thx

until the children of the marriage reached adulthood (legal age)? The situation being that one of the spouses is being unfaithful and wants a divorce while the faithful spouse is fully aware of the infidelity. Additionally, both spouses contribute to the household equally ($).

Is it reasonable for the faithful spouse to stay in the relationship? Why or why not?

Plz & Thx

No offense intended ladies, it just seems like a more appropriate title.

What gives!?

Suddenly I'm inundated with emails stating that one of my 120 contacts has asked a question and the d@mn question was asked and resolved LAST WEEK! Personally I don't give a rat's azz who got the BA, especially if it wasn't ME.

So, do I have to change my settings to ignore all my contacts or what?

The article is the same blather we've been hearing for weeks (months). It's the tidbit at the end that caught my eye. See quote below.

Yahoo! news article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100622/ts_nm/us_oil_s...

***"In a way, while it is a real tragedy, in another way, it is also exaggerated somewhat," Shokri Ghanem, the boss of Libya's National Oil Corporation, told the London conference. He said BP was welcome to continue drilling in its waters.***

What do you think or feel about this comment?
