I seriously doubt that the obesity problem is a result of the steroids that they give to cows, pigs, chickens, etc to "beef" them up. I think the obesity problem has a lot to do with people sitting around way too much nowadays. My brother is about to turn 34 and he cannot pedal a bike a mile on a level street without losing his breath.
Now, testing positive for steroids in sports might, and that is a big might, be connected to the steroids given to animals, but I seriously doubt it. Otherwise, these athletes would have already come up with the scientific proof for why they test positive. They have the money to hire the best scientists and attorneys, so I am sure that stone has been turned.

sadly though, it makes a lot of sense doesn't it? study and think about each snippet.
maybe the socialists are jealous they didn't think of it.

Tall Shadow,
I agree about checking things on Snopes. Nowadays, I have stopped forwarding stuff because I do not have the time to check the veracity of the e-mail and I do not want to continue to forward untruths. It is amazing how quickly the internet can spread stupidity. I really love the e-mail about Target being a French company when it is one of the few American companies left in the US. Probably some idiotic Frenchman started that rumor.

I suppose the Feds justify the Dome rebuild on the basis of it being a storm shelter.
Seems to me they might have better off building a good one-way highway out of that cesspool of a city. And leave it open even when there aren't any storms.

Tall Shadow, just exactly what makes you think I got my information from some internet post? Don't make assumptions unless you know what you are talking about or who as far as that goes...You aren't the only one in this world that deletes stupid things from the junk mail box ya know.
My information by the way came from Co B 28 sig Bn....Army National Guard outfit. A military outfit I use to be affiliated with after my tour of active duty just in case you don't know what that is or believe there is such an outfit. Anyhow, if you don't think it came from back in the early 1900's, it could have been written today and no-one should ignore it. So tuck your head under your pillow up there in Detroit and keep up with your evening news. Sounds like you learn lots that way. Now reading over this post, I probably should just delete it because it sounds as if my hackles were up when posting this. No they aren't....so no slam intended. Just another friendly post and opinion. Heck, I can just click a button on this thing and shut it off like I do the evening news if things bother me that much but I like to see what others around the world have to say on HC. Have a nice day all.....time to gather some hunting items for Saturday. Good luck to all heading for the woods opening Pa deer season.

Just heard some reasons for the money put into the Superdome before being put into rebuilding homes. Supposedly, rebuilding the business district (e.g., restaurants, hotels, the Superdome) will allow New Orleans to generate money and thereby rebuild itself. Hopefully, that is correct. It would be great to see developers come in there and start building houses just to be sold to people.
Of course, I think the money should be spent on the levies before anything else. Why spend all that money on the business district if there is another hurricane like Katrina. I guess that is why I'm not in the government.

I don't think N.O. will ever be the same as it was. Heck we still have home construction, reconstruction going on here from the flooding we picked up back then. One guy was smart and since the poor man just bought the house 6mo before it all went under to the roof, he had the whole thing lifted from ground level to setting on a cement block basement. (would you believe he was dumb enough to crawl into the attic? When the water went down enough for him/wife go get back out they ended up swimming to shore. Yes the police etc gave him 30 lashes). Just finishing the siding on it now...looking good. It probably would be worth a good home construction outfit to go down there and rebuild/sell homes. Flip this house. If it weren't for the 3 hitting one after another, I don't think there would have been as much damage left. The water just had nowhere to go. Another man just up the street from the one spoken of above just finished his first floor. What a nice job and lots of work too since everything had to be gutted to the studs and disinfected/ mold prevention etc etc..a slow process but they are getting there. I just don't know how long it will take for all the items still hanging in the trees along the creeks to fall back to nature. Things like broken campers, things washed from yards, homes.....all still hanging in trees....a spooky feeling when fishing the creek in a boat
I think goose season here in pa just ended Saturday....I seen 6 geese on the lake today....they left opening day and not seen since....tell me they don't have a calendar. Know same ones because one had a club foot that wound around like a paddle wheel when he walked....

Probably someone from Co B intercepted this Rule thing along the way but it is scary. True or not I still like what it says and still intend to pass it along. Thing is I'm not the original author so in a way am spreading rumors. Is why I left out where I heard it from in the original 'opinion' post.

I'm not trying to impune(sp?) you, or even your posting something that fits the current situation here in the USofA! What I'm saying is that with the advent of the Internet, We ALL should be a little more careful of what we disseminate as FACT, and what >Even tho' it sounds good<, is just a good story. I don't "Have my head under my pillow", I see, deal with, and endure, the same bad stuff as We all do. I too worry about the future of this, THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!...not only for me & You, and those of us now, but for My kids...and (Hopefully) someday my grandkids.... But in order for us to fix the problem(s), we must first find/understand/identify/define the problem(s). We can not do this effectively, by following rumors/stories/misinformation.....no matter what/whom the source is. All I asked, was for all of us (The people who want to fix the trouble(s)..You & I & everyone else here!) to be diligent in our pursuit of THE TRUTH! Like I said, I meant no offense to you, just to remind All of US to be careful, and to verify our information. All The Best! Tall Shadow |
