Strand him on an island with 6 other castaways.

Izzo just seems to get his team to play their best at the end of the year.

Don't mean to hi-jack this thread, but it was the only one I saw related to the tournament, so I thought I would just pop this on here.

If Kalin Lucas is seriously injured, I think it will be tough to win without him, but man, I would never count the Spartans out.

Sure wish they were in a different region than Ohio State, tho. Sucks that one of them is going to be sent packing next weekend.

Not sure.

We don't have a Costco around here, but there is a local "super-store" around here (Meijer) whose pharmacies offer several antibiotics for free, primarily to get you in the door and get you to switch all your meds to them, or to buy somethig else.

But you don't have to. I have gone there a few times for my kids, just to get the free antibiotics, rather than pay a $20 copay at my pharmacy.

But I'm kinda cheap.

And it co-starred that little dude from Fantasy Island.

From what I have seen, you're better off to just hit the bars, go to church, cruise the mall or grocery store, buy a hooker, etc...

I agree. If it is what you love, and you're good at it, you will be successful.

Why bother sitting thru an entire meal, when you could be planning a date with someone who might actually put a ring on your finger?



I don't have an answer to your question, TS. It's in their DNA, maybe?

Men and women are just wired differently. In general, men want to date and sleep around, and women want to land a man and beat him into submission so they can control his every move.

Like I said, it's in their DNA.

Aren't you nervous about getting into journalism at this time, with all the newspapers going bankrupt?

I'm not discouraging you, I just really don't know what the job outlook is like in that profession.

Funny, seeing how during his time as President, he was one of the most unpopular.

Van Buren sucked so bad, he got rolled by the Whigs.

It was a good movie, but "Best Picture?" Not sure about that. I'm gonna have to see a few more of the nominees. Personally, I liked Inglorius Basterds better.

I'm starting not to not have much faith in the whole Academy Awards. Seems to have too many politics.

Way to go!

I'm just wondering if this could give another state fire-power to kill a similar bill.

Or could the law be changed in Michigan? Were there voters in Michigan that truly thought it would be used for medicinal purposes, which is how the law reads and is intended, and are going to be outraged by its abuse? Or do you think it was passed by a true majority of people that knew the loop-holes would be there and were O.K. with that?

The church in the article is brand new. I have a little inside info. that it is already veering from its legal constraints. I'm curious to see if the voters in Michigan will be O.K. with it.

I really don't know what will happen.

Damn. Now I want to see the whole movie.

My point was, the young people using it are not using it for what the law was intended for (or at least not 99% of them).

In theory, I don't have a problem with using it under the supervision of a physician, as the law intended. I believe people respond differently to all kinds of medication. What works for one person, doesn't necessarily work for another. I think pot could help some who don't respond to traditional medicines for pain or nausea. (m.s., cancer, etc.)

But let's not be stupid and ignore the loop-holes that many are using to, well...use. lol.

I digress. I really didn't want to create another thread where we argue the pros and cons of smoking pot.

I just thought it was interesting how all the arguments of people that fought to keep it illegal, are now being supported by the actions of so many that were on the other side. My guess is, most of the people that fought to make it legal, really couldn't care less about the medicinal uses. It just provided more of a legitimacy to their argument and a vehicle to make their habit legal.

But the original question was whether this will affect other states in legalizing it?

Something tells me it must not be that difficult to obtain, legally, in Michigan if 19 y.o. college kids are getting permit cards for their "chronic pain" afflictions.

I think they just have an ache for the "chronic."

"Swee just made the church her caregiver and gets her cannabis for free because she is on a low income. She has been to the Smokers Club every day since it opened, she said."


I believe you are correct: it is provided by the "church." And the "church" is receiving some type of government assistance, tax-break, etc. to provide for low income "patients."

I may have to do some under-cover research and report back to you all.

I just read this article in our local free newspaper. The impression I got, was that all the warnings and worries of the people that were against legalizing pot for medicinal purposes, in Michigan, were coming to fruition.

If you read it all the way thru, it sounds like it is basically a way for ANYONE to smoke pot, legally. Not just the people it was intended for: chronic pain, cancer victims, etc.

AND for some, their "prescription" is paid for at tax payer's expense.

I'm just wondering what effect this will have on other states passing similar laws, or if it will make it easier for the law's opponents to push to have it changed.

Here's the article: http://www.lansingcitypulse.com/lansing/article-4064-pot-and-the-lord.html

I know a couple who have that situation. The woman is the "breadwinner" while the guy stays home and takes care of the kid. To be honest, it came about because the guy was just too flat out lazy to get a job.

You are right to question it. You really don't know how his particular situation came about.
