* If you're going to blame James for something, blame him for not hanging onto the ball. That was awful.

He didn't hang onto the ball because a guy who was bigger and stronger than he, literally ripped the ball from his hands. He should have fallen faster and not tried to go for those extra 4 inches. The short dump passes had been working up until then. The 3 and out was ridiculous. Plus, something's gotten into Rackers's head. He was money last year. This year, not so much.

That could genuinely be her position, even with the nonsense she spews--if she likes everyone she feels is attacking her. That is, if her maxim doesn't apply to anyone here. Perhaps w/r/t people she really doesn't like she actually doesn't care what they say.

I thought that her "point" had to do with people's actions, not their thoughts -- something about posting things to her/in response to her posts/about her.

I don't see how your explanation connects up "caring about what someone thinks/writes" to "being attacked."

Maybe because the way she is acting/thinking is faulty.

This article about weird exercise classes that gyms are giving, led me to look up "Stilletto Strength", taught at Crunch fitness.

I can't decide if I'd really, really want to take it or if I find the whole concept weird and offputting. They seem to have a lot of classes that fit that description for me.

Looking at the class list sort of reminded me of something one of my trainers used to do: He'd ask people if they'd taken the totally made up Karate Pilates at some unnamed gym yet.

The people who always seem to try the latest and greatest craze without actually thinking about it* would say stuff like "Not yet, but I hear it's really good."

The people who gave the concept a little thought were "Karate Pilates? What the hell is that?"

*note, this is not a personal attack.

2. I am, however, an excellent aunt. My nieces and nephews bring joy to my life. And then they go back to their parents (which brings even more joy to my life).

How were people who just said "Nope!" characterized?

TAMPA, Florida (AP) -- Movie actor Wesley Snipes, star of "White Men Can't Jump" and the "Blade" films, was indicted Tuesday on eight counts of tax fraud accusing him of trying to cheat the government of $12 million in false refund claims.

Snipes, 44, also failed to file tax returns for six years, according to an indictment unsealed in Tampa, Florida.

Federal prosecutors said that Snipes fraudulently claimed refunds totaling nearly $12 million in 1996 and 1997 on income taxes already paid.

Speaking of tax cheats, someone please explain to me, if I earn $100,000 in 2004 and the Government withholds more than it should from my paycheck, but I am taxed based on the $100,000 amount, how I am also subject to taxation on the refunded amount in 2005? Why is this not considered double counting?

I earned that money in 2004, they taxed me based on my full income in 2004 and now they tax me on the amount they withheld that was more than what they should have and they consider it new income?

I don't get it.

I suspect they were the majority of the responders.

Totally normal. My 14-month old frequently sports morning wood. Just kind of gently tuck it down when you put on the fresh diaper so you don't get a pee fountain out of the waistband later.

Same taxing authority? I have this every year with reporting the refund of state income tax as "income" the following year on the federal return. It's because I took a deduction for the withheld amount of state income tax the prior year. If it's the same taxing authority doing that to you, I'm no help.
