Your Uncle Dodge!

No one is required to be hired in any state, and there's no such thing as "veteran's preference" or similar arguments. The man had a $19M contract, created negative attention to his team in uniform which resulted in his getting cut for cap room, and wasn't getting hired by other teams largely because of the disturbance - an argument that holds up even at hospitals, grocery stores, even Burger King.

My daughter put a bunch of garbage in my computer which I deleted. I had to roll back to IE9 after this happened. I reset all preferences for search and disabled pop-up blocker. I still cannot send any E-mails out. Need help ASAP

Certainly an eye opener.

Normally I don't push on personal issues of my own so much, but I am willing to share as the center of topic is marrying another today. This is pretty raw, but I'll take opinions.

The Bed You’ll Lie In

You told me a week ago

Of boxes left behind

You said if I needed them, you'd drop by

But the answer I already know

Those are boxes you didn't find

I don't know what to say to you since the day you said goodbye

I gave it everything

I gave you everything

Sacrificing so much pride

Wild abandon became

Abandoning a dream

Pushing me and boxes to the side

Still, you never ran too far

As friends and family played their hand

A piece of mail, a business call - little ways to say you're still tryin'

Now that new car in your yard

Says your heart must now make a stand

Cause if love isn't dead

You're making the bed you'll lie in

INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE

Listening to a snake dancer’s laughter

At the cold tack you’ve chosen

To choose not to undo the wrong

You will marry so soon after

The love we had turning frozen

Not wanting to see if I was gone

I gave it everything

You gave up everything

Sacrificing so much pride

Wild abandon became

Abandoning a dream

Pushing me and boxes to the side

Still, you never ran too far

As acquaintances would demand

Promises sold to a stranger, too sad to look back cryin'

You have ruffed a cold trump card

Though you cannot win the hand

Cause if love isn't dead

You’re making the bed that you'll lie in

INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE #2

I gave it everything

You gave up everything

Sacrificing so much pride

Wild abandon became

Abandoning a dream

As all friendship and romance has died

Still is the night without a star

Any wish draws reprimand

The short, hard truth, now there’s no denyin’

This has truly gone too far

And the timer is out of sand

Cause if love isn't dead

You’ve just made the bed that you'll lie in

Cause if love isn't dead

I’m making the bed I'll lie in

I guess you'll find I love puns. Lyrics section is blowing this off.

That Was All She Wrote

She woke up one night and decided it was over

I came home from work to find out she was gone

We would fight, but the bottom line is I still love her

I thought she knew this was true, but I guess I’m wrong

CHORUS #1

For there on the table that caught my eye

Was a simple, hand-written note

She had chosen a single word, “goodbye”,

And that was all she wrote

Maybe I’ve been working on working too hard

Maybe I shouldn’t have let things just be

Maybe there was too much time apart

To show what she really meant to me

Well, hindsight has such perfect visions

When you’re busy and selfish, you don’t set things straight

You allow outside pressure inside decisions

From the looks of things now, it’s just too late

CHORUS #1

For there on the table that caught my eye

Was a simple, hand-written note

She had chosen a single word, “goodbye”,

And that was all she wrote

BRIDGE

I never knew why I blew my one last chance

Was it too hot-headed or more romance?

If she’d stayed, I’d give in to all demands

But my fate is no longer in my hands

CHORUS #2

For there on the table getting wet from my eye

Was a simple, hand-written note

She had chosen a single word, “goodbye”,

And that was all she wrote

And that was all she wrote

And that was all she wrote

She left a single word note

And that was all she wrote

Laughing Dolphin Music

I love puns too!

I BLAME THE MOON

First more, now less than friends

Love ducked in and out again

This isn't where the story ends

But it's where I must contend

That the heart goes in innocent

All indications heaven sent

A chance to shine, a chance to vent

Another chance just came and went

CHORUS

It must be the moon playing tricks on me

I'd never ask for this kind of misery

Watching all turn with the tide

But the swells are never done inside

Since I can't see why I'm still blue

But I see the moon - I blame you

You learn from sources more than school

The day starts warm and then ends cool

Gravity always makes its pull

Love seems to make me a fool

The only constant when things aren't right

Was that silver moon laughing bright

Hiding the truth from the morning light

Never revealing secrets of the night

CHORUS

It must be the moon playing tricks on me

I'd never ask for this kind of misery

Watching all turn with the tide

But the swells are never done inside

Since I can't see why I'm still blue

But I see the moon - I blame you

Why must you meddle with my world like this?

Why can't you let me keep more than a kiss?

It must be the moon playing tricks on me

I'd never ask for this kind of misery

Watching all turn with the tide

But the swells are never done inside

I'll never see why we are through

So damn the moon - I blame you

I blame the moon

I blame the moon

It's kind of Dave Matthews meets Hal Ketchum. Here goes:

Square One

Sundown becomes sunset fast

The future becomes the past

Lists of dreams that didn't last

The die of fate is cast

Another day come and gone

Always back to Square One

The Spinners, Bob Seger then Kid Rock

On sale items go out of stock

Doors open, then they lock

Constant circling of the clock

The chimes ring in a steady run

Always back to Square One

On and on and on and on and on

On and on and on and on and on

Fashion picks another style

Signposts add another mile

Shredded papers from a file

More changes all the while

You win some, and you lose some

Always back to Square One

Birth, nurtured, until grown

Another promised seed is sown

Try to learn all the unknown

Black then green then brown the lawn

A little more rain, a little sun

Always back to Square one

On and on and on and on and on

On and on and on and on and on

Proud parents' daughter or son

First lose innocence then the fun

You're lonesome, you choose someone

Lucky at love and then it's gone

Spiral down the heart forlorn

Just to find a better one

All the power of King Kong

Hopeful scavengers led along

Until your call to life is done

Always back to Square One

Always back to Square One

STILL

This road I have traveled

No one will condone

Confused, and unraveled

No light has yet shown

So I walk alone

These people I see

All born so blessed

Living so free

Giving much less

So I walk alone

Random, outcast

A friend was all I asked

Left with tears to nurse

Distracted by this curse

This road I have traveled

Chills to the bone

Cold as the gravel

I have gathered and thrown

So I walk alone

So I walk alone

Still I walk alone

She can do full nudes and show off her body to anyone all her adult life....until she is doing a topless scene for a new movie at age 43 and she figures this is too much?

http://news.yahoo.com/aniston-pulls-bare-breasts-w...

Do you think there's any "private" body moments once you've done a nude?

Here's a song I wrote a couple years ago.

Swimming With Daffodils

She works late at Hot Topic

She’s lookin’ kinda mean

Fifty pierces showing

And her blue hair’s fairly clean

Skin tight, holed-out jeans,

Pushed by about two-fitty,

You could be a true Christian

And still say she’s sort of pretty

CHORUS

And she’s followed her heart, changing her name

To something she really feels

Her mother used to call her Jane,

Now she’s Swimming With Daffodils

She left family in a fight

One bag that she could carry

Did whatever she wanted

Then married military

Freedom was ten times better

Than stares at the exchange

All the neighbors marveled

How she left and didn’t change

CHORUS

BRIDGE

Now she finally made her place

In a city that doesn’t mind her

And she’s found her path to faith and grace

Should one day her husband find her

She works late at Hot Topic

She’s lookin’ kinda mean

Sixty pierces showing

Her bright green hair’s fairly clean

Skin tight, holed-out jeans,

Pushed by about three-fitty,

You could be Wiccan just like her

And still say she’s sort of pretty

CHORUS

And she’s followed her heart, changing her name

To something she really feels

Her mother used to call her Jane,

Now she’s Swimming With Daffodils

And she’s followed her heart, changing her name

To Swimming With Daffodils

Swimming With Daffodils

Swimming With Daffodils

Hopefully, you haven't seen it before so it can surprise you.

Ain’t It Funny

There are people everywhere, needing someone there to care,

Someone just to be there, good or bad.

Your heart says, “This is it!” then your loved one says “I quit”,

Instead of joy and grit, you’re only sad.

Ain’t it funny how we love so very much,

But together we can’t ever find this love?

Well, it ain’t that funny

No, it ain’t that funny

I’m gonna tell ya that it

Ain’t that funny at all

You find the partner for your soul, give the fateful dice a roll,

You put every hope and goal inside the bet.

When it’s all said and done, neither you nor they have won,

And the sure thing now is gone, and both regret.

Ain’t it funny how people who hurt you worst

Make promises to always save love first?

Well, it ain’t that funny

No, it ain’t that funny

I’m gonna tell ya that it

ain’t that funny at all

BRIDGE

It ain’t nothing I should lose any sleep over,

Though I lose sleep over losing you each night;

It ain’t nothing I can keep apologizing for,

Though it’s obvious I just can’t get it right.

8 BAR INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE

Well, it ain’t that funny

No, it ain’t that funny

I’m gonna tell ya that it

Ain’t that funny at all

Well, it ain’t that funny

People, it just ain’t that funny

I’m calling out to you

It ain’t that funny at all

So why am I still laughing? (music fade)

Don’t Have a Home

Got a place to lay my head and mope when I have to go to sleep

A washer and some laundry soap, and a fridge for food to keep

I’ve got simple things aplenty that give apartments due

But this place still feels empty – it’s missing something true....

Don’t know why this life is so unkind

Don’t know why I can’t have peace of mind

Being here alone….Being here alone

Don’t know why it has to be this way

Without you here in my life each day

I don’t have a home….I don’t have a home

There’s some dolls smiling on the bed where my daughter’s head should be

I’m usually on my son’s instead, on those nights he should be with me

I wish there was more I could do to make a castle from a fort

After all the hell that I’ve been through, now the court tripled child support

Don’t know why this life is so unkind

Don’t know why I can’t have peace of mind

Being here alone….Being here alone

Don’t know why it has to be this way

Without you here in my life each day

I don’t have a home….I don’t have a home

Why can’t a single parent be a man?

Are children without fathers the new plan?

Is it wrong to ask for your own family

Just to end up poor without love or identity?

I’ve got simple things aplenty that give apartments due

But this place still feels empty – it’s missing both of you....

Don’t know why this life is so unkind

Don’t know why I can’t have peace of mind

Being here alone….Being here alone

Don’t know why it has to be this way

Without you here in my life each day

I don’t have a home….I don’t have a home

No, I don’t have a home….I don’t have a home

Here's lyrics I wrote. Please look at them, enjoy them and tell me what you think.

I’ll Just Be Myself Tonight

In the past I’ve been known to force the action

To try and get in a little quick satisfaction

But you’re so different, girl, so much more than appetite

I think that I’ll just be myself tonight

In days of old I would screen and analyze

Then mysteriously I would don my disguise

Never to return by the warmth of new light

I want more, so I want to be myself tonight

What is there to gain?

With love in disdain,

One seed of grain

Bears gift with the rain.

Life is so plain

When love can’t remain.

Distributing pain -

But never again.

No more will I live under dark pretensions

With layers of charm wrapped around false intentions

I see the right and wrong of love, and I’ll do it right

Finally seeing myself, being myself tonight

You'll have to guess how much of this is actually happening.

THE WHOLE TIME

You disappear from view

You hold yourself in

You say you're still lonely to all your friends

It's too hard for you

To be without dreams again

And you wonder if this is how the story ends

Well you know I've always wanted to be your man

And you know I want to help you if I can

If you look real hard, I am sure you'll find

I've been here the whole damn time

Looking for that knight

In armor made of gold

With a flashing smile and gentle loving hands

Still you believe despite

The past that left you cold

And you wonder if this is how the story ends

Then when I come to you, you just turn away

Playing solitary games that I can't play

If you ever have a partner game in mind

I've been here the whole damn time

BRIDGE

I know you're not to blame for everything

But why do you keep taking on and off that ring?

Can you believe in your doubting heart that love is blind

Cause I've been here the whole damn time

I've been here the whole damn time

Yes, I've been here the whole time

Right now the featured stories are about an MTV contest judge sleeping with a 15 year old and Lindsay Lohan stopping a Disney-sponsored tour. How do you feel about this? Are the political powers diverting attention to keep their pawns in office, or is young adult America this blind to the important issues?

I know you can look at each player individually, but is there a site with all RB's receptions from last season? Both leagues I'm usually in reward backs for receptions.

Problem started today (March 9), this afternoon. I went to see if any of my answers went to vote and I cannot see the pages at all - just the top part of my home page. Is anyone else experiencing this? How can I fix it?
