  1. Appreciate it but there was no time, I came home and 15 minutes later it was done. She was in extreme pain with zero possible recourse. It was very clear what needed done. My selfish mistake with Honey made me realize my feelings prolonged a best friends suffering, so from that aspect, I think you could do it when you needed to. I'm never taking another dog to a vet, place they don't like, to lay on cold stainless steel.

  2. Republicans should get zero credit for any kind of leadership or vision on the healthcare issue. In the run-up to ACA, they had no coheasive and principled ideas, and their messaging was beyond poor and disjointed. The stuff you're linking to Tonik amounts to a bunch of one-off patches that pander to various constituencies. I would have loved to see Republicans advancing a healthcare platform that included just a few simple concepts: - Catastrophic coverage provided persons below a certain (very low) income threshold. - Removal of the distortionary tax-advantage of employer-provided insurance, or at least give parity to private individual plans. - Remove the barriers that are currently preventing the creation of a market for private, cradle-to-grave, catistrophic insurance coverage for individuals. These 3 simple things would have done more to both control costs (by making them more transparent to the consumer) and increase coverage (by covering the poors and eliminating situations where people fall through the cracks between employment) than the ACA, which is a ridiculous super-structure imposed on an already broken system. The above-stuff seems completely in line with the free-market ideas Repubs give lip-service to, but Repubs simply couldnt make a coherent arguement when it mattered.

  3. My brother rode his Yamaha to the Marysville plant when he externed there. I doubt they're going to make you park further away or anything Glad someone enjoys our weather. Based on the way most locals complain, you would think they just moved here from FL. Personally, I think the Ohio weather is pretty good. We legitimately have 4 seasons, and I think it makes us appreciate the truly nice days we do get. Welcome.

  7. I never said they should get any credit. I simply disputed the claim that they didn't contribute. The 26 year olds staying on their parents policy is huge, it has been touted all over the place has being great and saving a great many young people butts. And until I brought it up I doubt a single person in this thread knew it was a Republican amendment to the ACA. I certainly didn't know it until I started digging into the issue. I find it very interesting that one of the things about the ACA that has gotten a ton of great press is never attributed to the R's by the press. I give his O'ness credit for setting the record straight on his website. No, the ACA, fail or succeed, is completely owned by the Dem's. There is no doubt about that. As for your list of items that should have been addressed, can you explain why you are on the Repubs about not adding that stuff in? Because one thing I do remember for sure is that the Dems controled the House and the Senate when the ACA passed. As a matter of fact they passed it without a single Republican vote. Shouldn't you be on the Dem's for not adding that stuff in?

  9. He pretty much hit the nail on the head...For anyone looking for injury advice. However, since the OP wants advice on repairing his car, this advice is misplaced and useless. Like a chiropractor. Or anyone advocating that people refuse vaccinations for children.

  10. Hey CR, My name is Anthony. I'm car/bike nut and love learning new info about both. My automotive addiction has lead me to several cars (audi 90, GLi, G35, Grand Cherokee, G35, S2000 w/ OEM hardtop & CR wheels) and I now drive a 2008 Infiniti G37s Coupe. I've been in the SCCA scene for awhile, and try to make all the events. I also have a 2006 Suzuki GSXR-600. Haven't been able to make a track day yet, but I have taken it up to IFO and ran the strip several times, but not expecting a win lol (GSXR600 < Busa). I look forward to getting to know more of the members on here. http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a546/Anthony_Cacioppo/photo2_zps166e3d21.jpg

  11. Yeah, that would be tough. Id like to believe that Id do what I had to do in the moment but killing an animal that you love would be very difficult and is easier said than done.

  14. The fact that you're acknowledging the inherent conflict of interest is a huge step. My wife has a coworker who (IMHO) may have held onto her dog a little too long. It was hard to hear her stories having known what her dog used to be like. When the time does come, look into having a bet come to the house. That type of service is getting more popular, and it can really cut down on the stress for te dog. Maybe for you as well... I know one of our dogs gets all kinds of crazy when we're at the vet. The other is happy to have 3 people all paying attention to him at the same time!

  18. I am a dual sport rider. I actually joined based on this thread, it is difficult finding like minded, somewhat local people. Looking forward to seeing where this goes. If anything, there might be a list of dirt and gravel roads that comes out of this.
