ParticipantSorry to hear you’re going through this. A parent in the hospital is always a bad time.
[quote=NicMM]What papers that I should not sign? In ER room, I signed most of the paper for my father with his name. But there was one paper for transferring to hospital, I was asked to sign my name and put relationship to him. I did it.
NicMM[/quote]I think this drives home the importance of reading what you are signing before you sign. I realize that while your dad is in the ER, you probably feel pretty helpless, and of course concerned for your dad. Rightly so, but still it is important to read the papers. I wouldn’t be surprised if one of those papers stated that by signing you agree to be libel for all costs. The fact that you didn’t sign your name but your dad’s may make a difference, but sorry, I’m not a lawyer and don’t know if that will matter.

Participant[quote=briansd1]Stop the partisan attacks on Obama and the Democrats. Notice that the other side always fires the first volley.
[/quote]Sorry, I must have missed that. Where did the original poster, pencilneck, blame Obama and the democrats in this thread?
But even though I missed that part, do me a favor, give some thought to not retaliating in kind. At the risk of sounding like an old curmudgeon, I’ll quote my Granddad, “two wrongs don’t make a right.”
What I can tell you though is that polarizing arguments, making them into good guys vs bad guys was something that Ronald Reagan did very well. And I guess if you like being compared to Ronald Reagan and you want to have debates at his level, well, then that’s fine. But if not, you might try to elevate the level of your discourse to take into consideration all the different views and not pigeon hole people into good guys vs bad guys. Just a thought.

Participant[quote=briansd1]We have conservatives here who like to argue the government f—- everything it touches.[/quote]
So simple question. What would it take to get you past your constant framing of issues as conservative vs liberal, or democrat vs republican?
[quote]But when it comes to propping up housing prices? Surprise!! Government action works!!![/quote]
I guess it depends on what you mean by work. I’ll certainly grant you that all the govt action probably has slowed if not stopped the fall of house prices. I for one have been rather surprised at how things played out in the last year.
But would it have stopped without govt action? That’s a worthwhile question to ask. I don’t really have an answer, and I’m not sure anyone could do more than offer an opinion(guess?).
But still, somehow it strikes me as wrong to use the word “works” in a sentence about the current housing market.

Participant[quote=Russell]http://www.pourfolio.com/kitchen.html
I was down at this shop today buying some second hand equipment. The product certainly is nice for high end custom designs. Seem like really good people too.[/quote]
Looks like pourfolio.com is no longer in business. Least their site is no longer functioning.
