…And doesn’t it strike you that that Corn Flake also looks like a turd? And if you think about the shape of all of the States in America, they kinda’ look like turd shapes, too? Or anything else, for that matter? I mean…the shape of our States are not exactly "uniform shapes of Artistic Masterpieces, right?!?

I just baked a cookie that bears a strong resemblance to a circle…I wonder how much I could get for it on Ebay.

edit- well now I freakin burned them because I was reading your questions instead of watching the cookies. Does that mean I can sue you? DAMMIT!!!!YAMS!!!

In the state of Illinois do you need to carry insurance for a Beauty Pageant?

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:32:16 +0000

I’m planning to start a new beauty pageant system in illinois, this will be the basic pay pageant, held in a hotel ballroom, having every one sign a disclouser that neither I or the hotel is responceible for accidents. Do I need insurance?

Yes, you will need a great deal of liability insurance.

Most important, you having them sign a release saying that neither you nor the hotel is liable for accidents is NOT going to stop the lawyers from suing the bajeezus out of both of you if somebody does get hurt in an accident.

Those release forms are pretty meaningless unless you write them to include every possible contingency and force all disputes into mandatory arbitration.

Think about what can happen.
What if somebody falls down the stairs going to the stage?
What if one of the contestants claims you defamed her or that the contest was somehow rigged?
What if one of the contestants is sexually assaulted after the pagaent in one of the hotel rooms?
What if one of the attendees got a bit too tipsy after the pagent in the hotel bar and gets into an accident on the way home?
What if one of the sponsors backs out of fulfilling one of the prizes?
What if, god forbid, a terrorist or madman decides to strike and lots of people get hurt or are killed?

Do you think a little release form is going to absolve you of that liability? Think again.

The trial lawyers will come after the hotel and you and they will come hard.

If they win a judgement against you and you have no insurance or don’t have enough insurance, do you think it ends there? Nope, they will come after everything you own….your house….your cars….your money in the bank….they’ll literally take it all….to satisfy the claim.

So with all that in mind…..it is worth it not to have insurance for your pagaent?

You absolutely need insurance and you need a lot of it.

Luckily for you, this kind of coverage is actually pretty easy to get and quite affordable.

Where is a good base to be stationed at on this Dream Sheet?

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:32:12 +0000

My boyfriend just sent me his "Dream Sheet" from basic yesterday. So I’m very curious to hear about everyones interactions with these bases. I want to know about the areas around the bases, the size of the bases, the services at the bases, and what the atmosphere is like on the bases. But any other information is welcome. I know obviously he won’t be choosing but I’m just curious to know about all of these places.

1.Peterson Colorado
2.McConnell Kansas
3.Pope North Carolina
4.Hill Utah
5.MacDill Florida
6.Travis California
7.Seymour Johnson Nor Carolina
8.Scott illinois

My nephew loves Peterson and a good friend of mine loves MacDill. I never got stationed at a base on my dream sheet until I went to a remote base. I was given my third choice which wasn’t too good. That base no longer exists.

If your boyfriend is Security Forces, he will get screwed on his choice of bases but it’s a fun career field. He will go to a missile or bomber base and then get deployed to SWA.

Avoid Scott (small-boring-headquarters base), McConnel (cold-remote), and Hill (cold-remote). Bases near larger cities are more fun, but if you like hunting and fishing, there are many bases that could satisfy you.

The latest news is Obama’…meant to leave no paper trail…’ while he was an Illinois Senator. So why is

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 14:42:14 +0000

Mr. Transparent so careful not to leave any ‘evidence’? Is there something there that he is afraid will hurt his chances at the Democratic nomination or did he simply ‘DO NOTHING’ as he has shown is the case as a US Senator? Either way, why would ayone still believe all the garbage he is spouting with all of his secrecy and lies that are finally coming out in his friendly media coverage!

obama is a cunning deceiver.

How hard is the Illinois motorcycle drivers test ?

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 14:42:09 +0000

I just bought a 125cc scooter and I need to up grade my license to a M class. I would like to know how hard the written and driving test is. Can anyone tell me anything I might need to know to help me pass ? Yes I known I have to study the book and I will.
Please only people from illinois.

The test itself is not hard but they confuse the hell out of you in what they want you to do as far as the driving,the written part is easy as long as you study the book.

Rock Island Illinois court question?

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 14:42:05 +0000

ok so if you go to court for a traffic ticket and the officer doesn’t show up does the ticket have to be dropped, i know that’s the way it is in scott county iowa but idk about rock island, i went to court today and the officer didn’t show up for the court date, but they didn’t drop the charges, please tell me if i need to call them and argue about this
i am fighting the charges because they are bogus, i plead not guilty, so i had to schedule a court date, so i show up to court and the cop never showed up

only if your fighting it.. but it can be continued by either party

my default news is Collinsville but it keeps going to sunnyvale california how can I fix this?

admin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 16:44:13 +0000

on my home page I have Collinsville, illinois has my default local news but it keeps going to Sunnyvale, California.

Depends upon your browser and homepage.
It may be looking at your IP address and where that is associated.
Or it may be looking at the information that you have in your profile.

You may get more specific answers asking under computers or Y!A rather than travel in San Francisco.

What is the difference between Illinois State University and University of Illinois?

admin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 16:44:07 +0000

I wonder what’s the difference between Illinois State University and University of Illinois… Is Illinois State University is a public school and other one is private??

And which one is better university??

Thank you for reading this!

Both are public schools.

Illinois State is the older of the two, founded in the 1840’s. It was the Illinois State Normal College… basically a teacher’s school and basic school to supply professionals to the state of Illinois. Solid regional university.

University of illinois is a land-grant institution. Founded in 1867, this is your flagship public university, and a top tier national university (Urbana Campus).

Better University… that would be Illinois, but it depends on what you are studying. For most majors, it will be Illinois, but there may be a program over at Illinois State that would be a better fit for someone.
