NEW NASCAR RULES
15) After each caution, the car will run the opposite way … caution - clockwise - caution - counter clockwise - caution - clockwise … etc.
14) Earnhardt, Jr., has to drive with a passenger … preferably a sumo wrestler … for extra weight.
13) Potty pit stops during a half time.
12) No more champagne in Victory Lane. A special Jeff Gordon whine will be used.
11) The ‘wider is better’ Pontiac will be narrowed since NASCAR has discovered the reason Pontiac widened the car was to accommodate Tony Stewart’s ego.
10) Races will be shortened to 7 laps so Darrel Waltrip can finish on the lead lap on at least one of his final races.
9) There will be a 15 minute half time break so Benny Parson can get a snack … better make it a 30 minutes.
Cars with handicapped plates shall pit in specially marked blue pit stalls.
7) Depends Undergarments announced it will sponsor a car for the 2001 season. For the betterment of the sport, NASCAR forbids Dick Trickle to be named the driver.
6) To ward off an approaching sexual discrimination lawsuit, NASCAR mandates at least one member of each sexuality will be represented on each team … Male, Female and Kenny Irwin.
5) Top speed is out! The cars starting positions will depend on how pretty the car is. If it’s ugly they will vote on who gets provisionals, the ugliest car goes home.
4) To save the Inspectors time, Jeremy Mayfield’s car will automatically fail inspection each week and the team will be fined $25,000.
3) Mike Skinner will start backwards so when he spins he will be facing the right direction.
2) The winner of a race will be determined by who picked the winner in NASCAR ROCKS … if no one picked a winner, straws will be drawn … the straw draw also holds true for second on back.
1) Because of Political Correctness, no discrimination against the handicapped will be permitted. This shall be called the Kenny Irwin Rule.

A spider bite…please read………..
And you thought the brown recluse was bad!!!
Three women in North Florida , turned up at hospitals over a 5-day period, all with the same symptoms. Fever, chills, and vomiting, followed by muscular collapse, paralysis, and finally, death. There were no outward signs of trauma.
Autopsy results showed toxicity in the blood. These women did not know each other, and seemed to have
nothing in common. It was discovered, however, that they had all visited the same Restaurant (Olive Garden) within days of their deaths. The health department descended on the restaurant, shutting it down. The food, water, and
air conditioning were all inspected and tested, to no avail.
The big break came when a waitress at the restaurant was rushed to the hospital with similar symptoms. She told doctors that she had been on vacation, and had only went to the restaurant to pick up her check. She did not eat or drink while she was there, but had used the restroom. That is when one toxicologist, remembering an article he had read, drove out to the restaurant, went into the restroom, and lifted the toilet seat.
Under the seat, out of normal view, was a small spider. The spider was captured and brought back to the lab, where it was determined to be the Two-Striped Telamonia (Telamonia dimidiata), so named because
of its reddened flesh color. This spider’s venom is extremely toxic, but can take several days to take effect. They live in cold, dark, damp climates, and toilet rims provide just the right atmosphere.
Several days later a lawyer from Jacksonville showed up at a hospital emergency room. Before his death, he told the doctor, that he had been away on business, had takena flight from Indonesia, changing planes in Singapore , before returning home. He did not visit (Olive Garden), while there. He did, as did all of the other victims, have what was determined to be a puncture wound, on his right buttock.
Investigators discovered that the flight he was on had originated in India The Civilian Aeronautics Board (CAB) ordered an immediate inspection of the toilets of all flights from India , and discovered the Two-Striped Telamonia
(Telamonia dimidiata) spider’s nests on 4 different planes!
It is now believed that these spiders can be anywhere in the country.
So please, before you use a public toilet, lift the seat to check for spiders.
It can save your life!
And please pass this on to everyone you care about.

To make a long story short, We purchased our first home on Jan 22,2009 the first day we moved in the toilets and the tubs backed up, the plumber was here 7 times in 4 weeks. Alot of the time we hear bubble sounds or gurggling in our toilet then all the sudden everything will drain. His son was here Friday snaked the drain and said a 1/ bend sewer pipe was broken, today his father came out to give me an estimate and said that the pipe was broken at the 90 degree bend, neither ran a camera, when I asked how he knew what it was he said because his son could hear it banging around when he ran the snake. He is going to charge me 1600 to dig it up and he said it may be more if they discover something else. He said he is going to dig 30 feet from the house. Is this a reasonable price and also does this sound like what it could be?

Would you pay a company to take care of your vehicle inspection and registration for you while you work? What about opening your home for service professionals (plumber, cable guy, a/c service, etc.) so you don’t have to?

Questions spark McCain flip on illegals
Schlafly program trains volunteers to pin candidates down on issues
————————————–…

Phyllis Schlafly
Sen. John McCain’s new attention to, and possibly new position on, illegal immigration is being credited to a grassroots program implemented by Phyllis Schlafly, who is training Eagle Forum leaders how to question presidential candidates on key national issues.
McCain has expressed surprise by the intensity of immigration questions he has received in Iowa at town hall meetings and as his campaign bus, named the “Straight Talk Express,” has toured the state.
It’s because of Eagle Forum’s work, Schlafly told WND.
“The town meetings that presidential candidates visit this year give grassroots Americans the opportunity to ask follow-up questions so the candidates can’t evade and obfuscate their views on vital issues,” Schlafly said. “We want to know what presidential candidates plan to do about the problems we care about.”
Schlafly has published a detailed list of questions she is encouraging Eagle Forum leaders to ask presidential candidates as they tour primary states seeking votes.
(Story continues below)
Schlafly’s list includes 22 hard-hitting immigration questions designed to deny presidential candidates the luxury of hiding under answers crafted by political wordsmiths.
Among the questions are the following:
Do you consider it a presidential duty to prevent illegal entry into our country?
Will you use whatever means necessary to close our borders to illegal aliens and illegal drugs, including electronic fences and National Guard troops?
Since most illegal drugs come across our southern border, will you require visual inspection of the contents of at least 50 percent of trucks coming across our border (instead of just 1 percent to 2 percent)?
What is your plan to stop the entry of 85 percent of illegal drugs that come over our southern border?
Will you pardon the two Border Patrol agents who stopped an illegal alien from bringing in a million dollars worth of illegal drugs, and now face 11- and 12-year sentences while the drug smuggler was given immunity from prosecution?
Last year, the Senate passed the Secure Fence Act 80-19, the House passed it 283-138, and we saw President Bush on television signing it into law. Now we are told the fence will never be built. Do you intend to obey the Secure Fence Act and order a fence built on our southern border?
Will you veto any plan to put illegal aliens on a path to citizenship without going home and getting in line for lawful immigration?
Will you veto any plan to put illegal aliens into our Social Security system under the State Department plan called “totalization”? That would bankrupt the system just when baby boomers are retiring.
In the 109th Congress, McCain co-sponsored with Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass, S.2611, a “comprehensive immigration reform” bill supported by the Bush administration that included provisions calling for “guest workers” and a “pathway to citizenship.”
But after facing intensive questioning in Iowa about immigration issues, McCain is widely reported to be considering a change in his position, requiring illegal immigrants to return home before applying for citizenship, suggesting a compromise measure similar to that proposed by Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind.
“The national media were generally favorable to the Kennedy-McCain bill last year, as well as to McCain himself,” Schlafly explained to WND, “so before the Iowa meetings, McCain only had to respond to softball questions.”
Eagle Forum in Iowa made sure that situation for McCain changed.
“What McCain probably has not realized,” Schlafly told WND, “is that Eagle Forum has made sure that the grassroots are well informed about immigration and other issues. It may be a surprise to presidential candidates like McCain, but the Eagle Forum grassroots are not going to accept the typical politicians’ platitudes.”
WND asked Schlafly if she thought the questioning from Eagle Forum leaders was the reason McCain appears to have shifted his immigration position.
“Yes,” she responded, “because I doubt McCain has been asked these specific questions. The specific questions force the candidates to face up to the issues in a practical and meaningful way.”
“Schlafly also noted that Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., also was startled by the tough line of questioning he faced in Iowa about immigration. “After 30 minutes, Brownback pleaded for questions about something other than immigration,” Schlafly told WND.
In the 109th Congress, Brownback added his name as a co-sponsor to S.2611, the “comprehensive immigration reform” bill advanced in the Senate by Kennedy.
WND asked Schlafly if the Eagle Forum leaders intended to ask her question list to both Democratic and Republican candidates.
Of course, she said.
“All Republican and Democratic Party candidates for president should answer the Eagle Forum questions,” Schlafly told WND. “That’s why I published the list. We have a right to know what the candidates plan to do if elected.”
The Eagle Forum list of questions for presidential candidates includes a variety of policy issues besides immigration – including “supremacist judges legislating from the bench,” North American integration under the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, jobs and the economy, as well as “respect for life.”

I’m renting an apartment for the semester of school, and the landlord is always posting notices to enter the unit. Sometimes it’s for repair, or inspection, which is weird in itself because I’ve never said anything is broken. These notices have very long ranges on them too, like 2 weeks from 9am to 5 pm. Yesterday I came home and posted on my door was another Notice to enter, with the reason ” to exhibit the dwelling unit to prospective tenants”, the date says from Jan 22nd to Feb 12th from 9am to 6pm. So this means they could enter any of these days, whenever they feel like it. In my lease it says “landlord shall give resident reasonable notice of intent to enter”. In my opinion this is not reasonable, and I’m uncomfortable with them just coming in here all the time when I’m not here, I know for a fact they have been in here at least 3 times. Do I have any rights to not allow them? This last notice is especially weird since my lease does not expire untill June.
