  1. Dopey May Strike Again?

    Side point, MJ is considered an excellent pain med. Coming back from injury and trying to push through would seem a time when MJ usage may be understandable. I know there are other league approved drugs probably used all the time. I know the same is true with MS, and long before some states...
  2. The Best TV Has To Offer

    I am liking Person of Interest, but then I also like Burn Notice and the Cinemax show from england that I can't remember the name of (basicly an anti-terror special forces group). Game of Thrones is awesome, but I am saying that as somebody who loves the books.
  3. Ventriloquist Without A Dummy

    That's awesome
  4. So long, Goodbye and Amen Col Potter

    I loved him in the role, even if he had earlier been on the show as a general. His role after Col. Blake was written and performed brilliantly. I remember seeing him in a few other series and always thought he was a sollid actor. It's hard watching so many of the actors from series I loved as...
  5. Adam Schefter: Trent Williams, Fred Davis Test Positive

    During the off season, especially while on strike and officially they don't have a job to which they need report, I understand taking some reef. I wouldn't, but it's not like they were breaking their word or contract. Yes, it does pose issues and potential problems. Still, I've been told...
  6. Are you being sued without even knowing? Scam

    I was a little reluctant to call back at least from home because there are times where contact can signify an agreement or admission. I remember a while back there was a telephone scam where the call back switched telephone services and racked up huge phone bills. Notice how now many of those...
  7. Are you being sued without even knowing? Scam

    I wasn't sure if the state's attorney's office should be aware of scam or not. Of course it is probably across state lines which probably puts it on the federal level. I would think the lines could be shut down or blocked to prevent further misuse.
  8. Are you being sued without even knowing? Scam

    I hate scams. Some woman left a message on our home phone saying to call 1.855.287.7078 to settle pending civil suit. She said her offer is only good until I am served by a process server or sheriff. She does say on the message NCW Inc., but it's unclear who they are in the suit. All kinds of...
  9. Andy Rooney: Dead At 92

    His passing makes me feel older. His commentary on 60 minutes was a staple growing up. Even if his thoughts were the thoughts of most people, his ability to express them most certainly was not. I wish more people took the time to try and express themselves as he did because often in his frank...
  10. Major Dilemma, Need Serious Advice.

    Congratulations. That result is optimal as in the end it was her going to HR herself. Often those decisions we reach by ourselves are the ones most likely to stick, and with any addiction, anything to help make the solution more likely to stick is important.
  11. Major Dilemma, Need Serious Advice.

    helped not fired during probation period: Depends on the union and whether the government treats addiction as a medical condition rather than a conduct issue. When I say depends on the union, I think the fed looks at addiciton as a medical issue as the result of some haggling with the union...
  12. Major Dilemma, Need Serious Advice.

    Good luck. In the Fed, an employee isn't fired for being an addict. They will even find and in some cases fund rehab programs. Addiction is treated as a medical condition/disease. The key is finding out whether the state/city has similar rules. If it is treated as a medical condition, the...
  13. Major Dilemma, Need Serious Advice.

    Private message her asking if she is still addicted and if she thinks she can give advice on how to quit. Make sure it's Private message in case she is as naive as the birth mother of our current foster kid's bio mom who talks about needing a blunt or committing suicide or....on her facebook...
  14. Music Recommendation Thread

    He and his wife produce the music and videos. It was pretty cool to meet them after the performance. I was surprised somebody at my work was aware of him and was willing to fly him and his wife down to DC from Canada to perform. Seems like they took a risk, but I and quite a few others were...
  15. Music Recommendation Thread

    This guy just recently performed at my work, and I was surprised by his voice. When he talks, he sounds so different compared to the way he projects singing. His songs are generally uplifting too. Justin Hines first one he sang last one:

We are all excited to experience the announcement of draft selections IN REAL TIME TOGETHER. If you feel the need to be the first to 'blurt out' the team's picks you are better off staying out of chat and sticking to Twitter. Please refrain from announcing/discussing our picks until the official announcement has been made at the podium. Thanks!
