    Hernia surgery patch lawsuit

    Go to the hospital & request a copy of your medical records, there will be a special sheet/section pertaining to "implanted surgical devices" used during your surgery, that will state specifically if they used this type of mesh.

    Need 35mm recommendations

    Kid is taking a week long photography class and I didn't realize she has to have a 35mm camera, I was planning on allowing her to take my D80. What 35mm do you-all recommend? Is there a Nikon I can pick up that'll use the DSLR lenses so I can use the lenses on both? :moron emoticon;

    Gun shows

    Best luck I've had at a gun show is getting 2 vendors willing to price match, usually good for a minimum of 10%. & as far as the difference between a 9mm & a 40, give me a goddamn break, you want a Hatcher rating over 50 in a defense handgun. Handgun Cartridge Type ...

    feeling guilty about my SUV

    Hmmm ER docs make ~$130-160K/year, I don't know one that drives anything that gets more than ~20mpg. What do the other docs you work with drive? What's your hurry? In a couple of years, you'll have the option to purchase a hybrid SUV, it's not cost effective to own & drive 2 cars (the...

    Fred Thompson to take step toward candidacy

    In my book, getting divorced in 85' and marrying a younger woman in 2002 hardly qualifies as dumping his first wife for an younger woman. The Democrats are going to screw around & tear each other to shreds because the fringe left of the Democrats can't understand the concept of compromise...

    Looking at a Glock 19 or Sig 226 as my first semiauto

    I'm not a fan of the 9mm as a CCW gun, IMHO, a .357 sig or larger is a much more effective weapon, and is the minimum you should carry. Another thing to consider is that some CCW permit holders look at exactly what the local police carry, guns & ammo & purchase the exact same weapon/ammo in...

A while down the road, the man from Maine starts to pull potatoes from his bag and throw them out the window. The man from New Hampshire turns to him and asks, "What the...

    Why all the PAB hate?

    So I'm confused, if PAB is so sharp with stocks, why does he pay a broker a commission? And would you please put that damn Rolex on a battery powered winder?

    I bid $80,000 on a corvette this morning and I was high bidder

    PAB, you know it's stupid to put a Rolex or any self winding watch in a jewelry box right? Self winding watches are meant to be worn & if you store them they should be in a battery powered device that keeps them wound & working.

    My wife wants a rice cooker/slow cooker for her main gift this year

    What self respecting Asian would want a rice cooker made by Krups? At least get her a National. & if you want to make her really happy, get a Zojirushi from . NewEgg Slow cookers are a dime a dozen, just scare one of those up when they're on sale.

    Bourne man fired for smoking

    It's been proven obese employees cost more than non obese employees and smokers to ensure & employ. They are however a protected class, you can't fire them for being fat. You can however fire an employee for smoking, and in some states for wearing the wrong color socks to work. Edit...

    Catholics possibly will end celibacy requirement for priests

    For this to actually happen, the holy Catholic church would have to admit they were wrong for centuries, and that's simply not going to happen in your lifetime.
