I starting going to games with my parents in the late 1950's. I went to both the 1971 ND game and the 1979 USC game, as well as the 2003 UGA, the 2012 Bama game, etc. The quietest it got during the 1979 USC game is about the loudest it got in any of the other games. In the Tuesday State Times newspaper, Coach Robinson was asked about the noise in Tiger Stadium. He said, (sorta quoted), "We've played at ND, at the big house (Michigan), Rose Bowl, etc. In any case, we had Hollywood sound effects guys line our practice field with speakers. We'll be okay." Gauntlet throne, the Tiger Fans were the ne plus ultra of loud fans, anywhere, anyplace. Even though we lost, the 1979 USC game is the best game I've ever attended.

Are SS recipients penalized if: (A) they take benefits before Full Retirement Age (FRA) and, (B) continue working and make more than the amount allowed by SS? You could be penalized something like $1 for every $2 earned, making a huge dent in the SS payments. You should look very closely into the penalty for Earned Income when taking before FRA.

My understanding is that the phrase has two meanings, depending on the circumstances. It can mean actions planned with good intentions, but not acted on, lead to nothing, at best, or the wrong thing happening, at worst. The second meaning, as mentioned, above, is that good intentions, in and of themselves, aren't what matters; it's the consequences of the actions that matter. Or, beware unintended consequences! Anyway, that's my take.

Thanks to everyone who replied. We narrowed it down to Richard's, Red's and Carbo's. Heck, we might try all three!
