 | asking for prayers for wife's surgery - rankintiger on 1/21/13 at 7:59 am
My wife just went in the OR for a hysterectomy. She's only 27. So even though we already have 3 children, she's not happy about having this done.
Any prayers will be greatly appreciated....

| Why are they already reporting results for Florida? - rankintiger on 1/31/12 at 6:39 pm
Why are the news channels already reporting results for Florida? The polls in the Panhandle don't close until 7:00. People that haven't voted yet could decide to just stay home or have their vote swayed one way another based on the results that are already being reported. Didn't these news folks ...

| where does this rank on Biden's gaffe list? - rankintiger on 8/27/11 at 11:34 pm
According to Ed Henry, the VP played golf in Delaware today. I know he's not nearly as hands-on as our previous VP, but shouldn't he have a political advisor tell him this was not the best day for golf?

Irene first made landfall about 17 hours ago. We all agree comparing them is worse than apples and oranges but how many deaths and how much damage had occurred 17 hours into Katrina vs the minimal damage so far today? And let's just hope we can still say minimal damage tomorrow night....

I'm helping teach the 5 year olds in Vacation Bible School this week. This year's theme is The Big Apple. So one of the other teachers asked why New York City is known as The Big Apple. She had googled it and found several theories, everything from a brothel to horse racing.

| Who will replace Beck next month and how far will the ratings fall? - rankintiger on 6/23/11 at 12:13 am
Any guesses on who Roger Ailes will put in Beck's time slot after next Thursday? He has dominated that hour of cable news more than anyone ever imagined possible. IMO, the only way they get comparable ratings would be to bring in someone just as polarizing like Boortz or another radio personality. I...

A famous historian (who shall remain nameless for now, to keep the thread on track) just said that in the early days of the country, no one could nominate themself to run for political office. Voters simply went into the polling place and wrote down who they wanted to be in each office. Then, the ...

I've worked crazy shifts for the last 10 years and feel like it may be starting to take a toll on me. So I decided to get a referral for a sleep study. (Besides the fact that sleep problems run in my family.) I had the study done last night and really wasn't sure what to expect. I knew I would b...
