Anyone know any simple tricks to improve water drainage from a low-lying piece of property? The house I'm going to be renting sits on a flat grassy lot at the bottom of a hill, and I just trenched the shit out of the lawn as I was trying to leave. I plan on parking on the street from now on, but I'd still like to make it so that my front lawn doesn't turn into a mud pit every time it rains.

Apparently Bush's lips have lost their magic touch:

May 16 (Bloomberg) -- Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter, rebuffed a call by U.S. President George W. Bush to pump more crude for a second time this year, saying it would only boost supplies to meet customer needs.

``What they are saying to us, we at the present time do not have customers that are making requests for oil that they are not able to satisfy,'' U.S. National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley told reporters in Riyadh today after Bush met with Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah.

Is there a spellcheck on this site if so does anyone know how it works....

Ness: You may want to check with your municipal government first. You can get into crap if anything you do affects natural run off or screws your neighbor.

That musta been Bush jawing the bone of the Saudis...just like he's said he would.

I started the weekend early at lunch time.

Ness,

Easy?
No,
Your best bet is an extensive french drain system or to divert the water around your property using a concrete retaining wall and a liberal dose of Bentonite. Either that or just some tera-forming and sloping your yard either into a drain or just into the neighbors yard.

``What they are saying to us, we at the present time do not have customers that are making requests for oil that they are not able to satisfy,'' U.S. National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley told reporters in Riyadh today after Bush met with Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah.

In other words, go fuck yourself.

I guess Lil Bush better get down on his knees and get busy "jawboning".

Maybe Bush can let them knock down a few more skyscrapers as part of a deal? It worked for him in 2001.

Actually, I'd like to see Bush grow a pair and release the classified sections of the 9-11 Commission dealing with saudi arabia's complicity. We've already got all those troops right next door, and with some careful bombing, we wouldn't need to rebuild much infra-structure.

Anyone know any simple tricks to improve water drainage from a low-lying piece of property?

A part of my yard sits lower than the rest of the surrounding property, so I dug out a 2 foot wide pit, put in a drain grate and whenever what builds up in that area, I pop off the top of the drain and put a "smart" pump in and pump the water into the downspout from the house.

I wouldn't begin to have a clue but see if one of these links can help you.
Maybe one of them will give you a tip on what to do.

Low lying property drainage

Call you local City Hall and ask them to connect you to the Planning or Building departments for your city. I'll bet some of the guys in those departments could direct you to somebody who could give you good info.

"I'll bet some of the guys in those departments could direct you to somebody who could give you good info."

President Bush's financial fortunes appear to have declined over the past seven years, with his family assets dropping as low as $6.5 million, according to disclosure forms released yesterday.

Bush and his wife, Laura, were worth at least $9 million and as much as $24 million at the start of his term. The Bushes could still be worth as much as $20 million now, according to the financial documents filed with the Office of Government Ethics, which requires assets to be reported only within broad ranges.

Vice President Cheney and his wife, Lynne, have fared better, reporting assets of at least $21 million and as much as $99 million, the forms show. The Cheneys are at least as wealthy as they were when the vice president entered office, and may have added as much as $29 million to their net worth during his tenure.

The New Republic
What Went Wrong?
by Michelle Cottle
The exclusive story of Hillary's fall, as told by the high-level advisors, staffers, fundraisers, and on-the-ground organizers who lived it.


. . .
Many answers fell into a handful of broad themes we've been hearing for months now. (She shouldn't have run as an incumbent. She should have paid more attention to caucus states. She should have kept Bill chained in the basement at Whitehaven with a case of cheese curls and a stack of dirty movies.) Others had a distinct score-settling flavor. One respondent sent in a list of Top 25 screw ups, the first three being:

1. Patti
2. Solis
3. Doyle

While from another corner came another list, reading:

1. Mark Penn
2. Mark Penn
3. Mark Penn

But whether personal or clinical, new or familiar, the critiques are all the more striking for having come directly from those neck-deep in the action. So, here it is, an elegy for Hillary '08, written by some of those who have worked tirelessly to keep it alive.
. . .
AND, FINALLY...

"Her people spent all of 2008 making lists blaming each other (but never themselves) rather than lists of solutions."
www.tnr.com

Hillary surrounded herself with loyalists and yes-people.

The professionals went to Obama.

It's as simple as that.

Mark Penn got trounced every step he took.

She's an idiot. Typical Democrat. She found a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Awww, Lee baby, how heartless do you think I am!

It's going to be around 100 degrees here today. So after I went down to Home Depot earlier and hired
this guy to dig me that backyard bathtub, I invited him and all the rest of your amigos at Home Depot to jump in it and join me for a refreshingly cool bubble bath. (grin)

Last one in pays for the tequila!!!

I saw 87 octane for $4.39/gallon yesterday.

Didn't know you were in Los Angeles yesterday, Joe.

You should have stopped by and said hello.

I just got grease on a silk tie. Does anyone have any stain removal suggestions?

Joe

Don't do anything to it and don't rub the spot.
I'll get right back to you.

Joe,
You must have been getting gas in downtown Chicago. Out in the burbs it's around $3.90.

Just think 10 Years ago it was .79 cents Yes 79 cents. Amazing whata fucking bastard can do to change the price of Gasoline.

Larry Mohr

Joe

Do not put water on it.

Best thing you can do right now is buy some "K2r" -- in comes in a small spray can. Any market sells it in the detergent section. Ask one of the gals in your office if they have any "K2r" at their desk. It's a spray powder that lifts stains. It works great. If not, buy some after work and keep it in your desk.

For now just ask around your office. One of the gals there must have some powder handy -- like talcum powder? Sprinkle some powder on the stain and blot (not rub) the stain until you can get your tie dry cleaned.

Here are some more suggestions but a spray can of "K2r" is the best.

How to remove grease stains


Joe oughta come clean (no pun intended) and ask the question that's really on his mind: how to remove a cum stain from his silk tie.

EP- That's why I said "Chicago" and not "Schaumburg."

Chris- Thanks, I will look for K2r after I leave work.

Monte- Not surprising that the first thing you think of is jizz.

My bad EP, I didn't say Chicago or any city at all, but that is where I was, around Fullerton and Elston.

Oh, and Joe, always keep a spare neutral colored tie in your desk for moments like those. Never know when you need a clean tie to see a client later on in the day. Or, you could always wear a bib at lunch to be on the safe side. (grin)

You don't need a bib, Joe. Just stuff your tie into your shirt, or even the breast pocket of your shirt. Voila!

I'll just use your post from yesterday, Joe:

"Montecore, it was a fucking joke. Calm down.

Posted by joe at 2008-05-15 10:47 AM"

You don't need a bib, Joe. Just stuff your tie into your shirt, or even the breast pocket of your shirt.

Back when I was a cubicle commando, I would just throw my tie over my shoulder when I ate.

Now I am usually so dirty at lunchtime (covered with grease and drilling mud) that I have to completely change clothes and shower just to be allowed into the galley to eat

I much prefer the latter.

Take he Ti off whle eating safest bet. Either that or scotchguard Your ties right at jump street right after purchase. easy peasy.

Monte and his usual one track mind.....it's always about Joe's cum for Monteloser. Don't blame me...you left yourself wide open for that one.

I did throw my tie over my shoulder at first, but then I took it down when I went to go talk to someone and never put it back up when I got back. I was eating a BLT that had some massive bacon on it and some of the bacon must have brushed against the tie. I am a complete slob when I eat and I constantly have food all over my clothes.

I know it was a joke Munty, I was taking a jab at you as well, cumboy.

Sounds like me. I got it from my grandmother. It was always such a joke. She would hang her glasses by a chain rope around her neck when she ate. At the end of the meal, there was usually another full serving that fell on her glasses

You know I don't see why You don't keep a couple of hand towels around so You can tuck them into the top of Your shirt and use them as a food catcher. Works for Me.

Mostly because carrying around a couple of hand towels and taking them with you to eat lunch looks weird in the business world. But Pee Wee Herman would probably like the idea...

(Maybe Joe should make his customers bring their own hand towels?)

"Put that little jabber away. Your shrunken raisens[sic] might get lonely."

Don't you mean beach towels?

It mirrors your obsession with spelling, Lil' Joe.

So Monte....Joe is obsessed with spelling? Is that what you are saying?

Joe's a lawyer so he has "clients" not "customers."

I'm talking about his Noon Job, CC. He is trying to pay of his gov't subsidized, but Libertarian-approved, school loans.

Err, question for all the guys on here who apparently have problems keeping food from falling on themselves while eating --

Don't you put napkins on your laps?
Don't you all chew with your mouth closed?

Just curious.

Joe

There are programs that help wipe out part of the huge student loan debts --

here's one article

Volunteers can get help with student loan debt

The law firm I worked with always required a certain amount of hours be attibuted to pro bono work. Couldn't you hook up with one of these volunteer groups and get some of the $$$$$ you have to pay wiped off you student loan debt? Just a thought.

You know Joe I don't know if they do this where You are at but check with Your neighborhood and see if they et the paper in plastic bags. Have them collect them for You and then save them up for when You eat. Just slip Your tie inside of them and take a couple binder clips and clip them to Your collar. Then when Yu get done eating throw the plastic newspaper bagaway and Volla clean tie with no grase stains.

Question - can anyone help me with this answer.

I'm installing a new CD of McAfee anti-virus I just bought.

It says in the instructions after I've inserted the CD for the set up "if the installation sceen does not appear automatically [it doesn't] then click 'Start' on your Windows desktop and click 'Run' and then type "D:/SETUP.EXE" where 'D' is the letter of your CD-ROM drive."

I have two places on my harddrive to insert a CD. A top shelf and a bottom shelf. Which one is my "D" shelf -- the top place to insert a CD or the bottom one?

A shiny little icon of a CD showed up on the bottom of my screen but then it disappeared. I don't want to have to call India again to talk to the Dell guys although they are helpful.

So my question is - since I'll probably have to do the "run" step, how do I know where my CD-ROM drive is for "D"? Is it in the top insert part of my hard drive or the insert for CDs just below it?

I paid enough for it and don't want to mess it up.
Thanks for any help.

Joe if the goop that Chris suggested doesn't work try the old trick. Brown paper bag, lay the brown paper bag over the grease spot on the tie and iron over the bag with a very hot iron. It should pull the grease up into the bag.

Golly, shucks, gee.

And to think he accomplished this despite donating all of the proceeds from the sale of his shares in that company of which he was President, to charity.

Mr. Cheney and Mrs. Cheney qualify as nature's noblemen and women, genuine good guys.

Yeah Larry, it's a shame that we don't have resolute and aggressive leadership.

Here with a great military, and situated in the Middle East, we could exact tribute, or just exercise control over oil, and meet our needs without exporting our national wealth.

But our leaders are inhibited and seemingly not interested in our welfare.

We need to face reality, set up spheres of influence, and sub-spheres. U.S., China, and Russia, the primary players, and "oversee" and take oil we require rather than enable some potentates to impoverish us. This namby-pamby approach ignores realpolitik dictates.


"They" may be sitting on it, but it's ours by dint of the realities of life.

Well, so much for any help on my internet cry for help about my "D" CD insert question.

Why no, herm.

Such doctrine is superfluous. God helps those who help themselves.

We can contrive any set of values and propositions to support our seizing the oil. It's the practical thing to do rather than circumscribe the ambit of our prosperity, sending our wealth to sheikhs and others.

That's how it is in international affairs. We have a geopolitical advantage with our bases in Iraq from which to undertake what is necessary, and a strong fleet and airforce. What would Adm. Mahan have said?

What should be our national objective. Benefit America and Americans. You seem to be so self-abnegating.

What should be our national objective. Benefit America and Americans.

If you "think" that invading Iraq has been, or will be, a benefit to America then you aren't "thinking" at all.

Thanks to you I was able to install my "McAfee Total Protection" anti-virus and found that "D" drive I needed by following your instructions. You saved me at least one hour chatting with the guys at Dell in India.

I bought this because I had to do a complete reinstall about 5 days ago when I got a trojan and spyware all at one time. Must have been some bad website I hit. My free version of Spybot was able to get rid of all of them except one and I had no choice but to reinstall the entire Windows XP so I lost all the stuff I had "bookmarked" and some email addresses and stuff but was able to replace most (not all) of it again but it was time consuming. Figured I better quit messing around only with Spybot and AVG freebies and shell out some bucks ($75) for a regular anti-virus program.


Ah, just because I'm grateful to you -- does this mean I have to be nice to you from now on and quit calling you "Nullidiot"?

Mishandled, not wrong in principle.

It's like going in for surgery for a life-threatening illness. If the surgeon knows what to do and does it, the patient is benefited. But is he is a thinker, and sets aside the reason for the surgery instead discussing aesthetics with his colleagues, the patient dies.

We went in there, and Bush with his delusions regarding "spreading democracy," and acting on his belief in "the magic attraction that all people have to democracy," bungled the entire effort badly. We needed to go in their, kick ass, take numbers, destroy centers of resistance, and then enrich ourselves. Spreading democracy should not be our national pastime. Looking after our material interests, should.

As Bush said, "If they aren't for us, they're against us." he didn't act on that declaration, but instead cut our enemies such as al-Sadr, a great deal of slack, and so they still have not embraced "democracy," but remain in thrall of Islamic doctrine, and know that all "good law" comes from the Koran, Allah, and through the perfect man, who has lived the perfect life, Muhammed.

The denial of cultural-centrism has redounded to our detriment. Screw 'em. Exploit 'em. Don't try to be a Christian missionary and save them.
