By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation: Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness. Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be-- That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks--for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation--for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war--for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed--for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted--for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us. And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions-- to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually--to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed--to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord--To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us--and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best. Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789. George Washington

It's a sports SEDAN. Big difference... How long you going to be on the F4? Just noticed you there...

Turkey Breast, Cornbread Stuffing w/ Mushrooms and Onions, Sauteed Asparagus w/ Bell Peppers and Lemon Sauce, Cream Cheese Sweet Potato Casserole w/ Granola, Challah Bread and Pumpkin Cream Pie - all homemade.

Ok, read it. I don't think so. It's not your obligation to yield being in a moving lane. If you'd have let him in, you'd have been nice, but just because you didn't doesn't make you an ass.

Yes. Now I'll read the post.

Justin Timberlake?

I have a good friend who had one (and incidentally traded it for a two door), and it was a nice vehicle. But Wranglers have two doors. When you put four doors on it, it becomes something else. Call it the Cherokee Off-Road for all I care, but it's like giving a Miata a hard top and four doors. It's not a Miata anymore. It's an Mazda3.

I hesitate to comment on this lest I piss off BTD again...

Oh Lawd!

I heard of one back when Ohio went to the 2 letters 2 numbers 2 letters format. Family got their 16 year old daughter a car and just took the next plate in line. They got BL04SX and refused it. Made the news back then, I think.

A lot of people on here seem to have Subaru! Man, I like the styling on a lot of them, and you can't argue with the technology... but I really can't afford a new one. And I don't live near enough to Vermont or know a lesbian to get a used one from.

As much as I like to say "fuck Walmart" at the end of the day, most of us like to pay as little as possible for the things we purchase. It's the American way. Two decades ago, customer service drove a premium, but in today's society, in general, we will herd up like cattle and get dehumanized to pay $199 for something that's $299 everywhere else. This is what I see as Walmart's legacy. Every time I walk in to a Walmart to buy something, I feel a little ashamed - not because I feel it's beneath me, but because as much as I would like to say "fuck Walmart" when it comes to the bottom line at Jester, Inc. cheaper is cheaper. Example - we just got our Christmas cards made up there. My wife ordered them through Snapfish - $16/20 right from Snapfish, plus $4.95 shipping. If we ordered them through Snapfish for pickup at Walmart, not only were they $10.50/20 but they were ready in 30 minutes. That's a savings of 30% before shipping. When a company controls such a large share of the economy that they can demand lower prices like this, well... I guess I have to respect them. If I could have gotten them for $12 or $15 at Target, I'd have been in the Red-Circle Express in a heartbeat, but... Their practices may be deplorable, but the American people has more or less given them a pass, otherwise they wouldn't still be the number one retailer in the world. I mean, it's no secret what they do. It's not like we're uninformed. We just don't care... our society will put up with it because it means lower prices.

I'm sorry, Wranglers have 2 doors. Now, I will concede that for the past few years, Chrysler has been producing some kind of 4 doored abomination that they choose to call "Wrangler" but it's not to be confused with the real thing. And I don't even like Jeeps.

I'd say you got off pretty lucky! Congrats on the early Christmas present.
