    Mile High Club- anyone here a 'member'?

    1997 on a flight from Mpls to Billings, MT I had insertion in the bathroom on a Northwest Airlines flight. Did not complete the deal, Flight Attendant knocked on the door. But I did get it in for about 30 seconds.

    So this Wisconsin teachers union thing...

    So I am late to the game here...do public employees in Wisky pay nothing for insurance or pensions? If that is the case I say this is a overdue bill.

    So this Wisconsin teachers union thing...

    I'll reply, and I have mixed views on this... My wife is a teacher, and I am a public employee. We both have Master's Degrees, and work over 40 hours a week. My wife gets about 12 weeks a year off, and makes about 65K, which when you figure out the per hour rate it is probably about 40-45 bucks an hour. I am a salaried employee, and work 52 weeks a year, about 50 hours a week, and get 16 days of vacation a year. I make about 70K We are in our mid-thirties and have been in our same jobs for 12-13 years each We live well, not rich at all, but not struggling either. There are a lot of things I do not like about unions, and we are both in them. If I do a great job, I cant get financially rewarded, or can she. I would prefer that option similar to the private sector. As for health care and pensions - I pay $50/month for a mid-range single policy with a $600 deductible and a $1100 our of pocket max, wife pays $300 a month for a family policy which covers our three kids. Her teachers union plan is better than mine. It is not free by a long shot. For pensions - I pay about 6% of my salary and so does my employer, and I have a deferred comp plan which the employer gives nothing to. My wife contributes about 5% of her slaary to her plan, employer about 6%. Overall I lean right on fiscal issues, and feel that for the most part unions for public employees are not really needed. If the public sector jobs were to get too bad then people would just stop working there and get a job somewhere else. I do think it is weak to blame the public employees for all the budget issues, there are many factors involved. Bottom line is that if I worked in the private sector I could make more money, but I enjoy my profession and so does my wife. But make no mistake, there are many public sector employees that unions protect, which I do not agree with at all, everyone should be held to a high standard.

    Orton or Ryan - will answer yours!

    I am the 8 seed, and my QB spot is not great. Orton or Matt Ryan... Leaning Orton but worried about new coach...and I am guessing Atl runs all over Carolina. Thoughts?

    Tolbert or Mendy

    Need to start one in a PPR league. I like Tolberts matchup but I worry about Matthews stealing carries and his hand. Balt run D is good, but not awesome, but I am really in a toss up. I will answers yours

    Is anybody benching Megatron?

    I am for Roddy White and Lloyd.

    I am sitting Mike Turner today

    Why is it so hard to bench your #1 pick in FF? It is a PPR league, and Turner catches no balls - with Mattherw out, I am hoping for a good game from Tolbert. Talk me out of it if you think I am crazy...

    Good article about the Wisconsin Badgers

    They'll beat TCU by 10+ points then people will ###### they didn't beat a school from a power league. On Wisconsin.

    Boldin and S Jackson

    I am sitting Mike Turner today

    We shall see. I am going to hold judgement until Tolbert plays tonight, but if Turner goes for 150 and 2 I will be pissed... I also made an error - I thought the game was in GB, not Atlanta - but didn't realize it until it was too late - owner error...might have swayed my choice... At least Mendy scored early...

    I am sitting Mike Turner today

    I can start 3 - but I have S Jackson and Mendenhall and am starting those two. Tolbert has 6 more catches while playing a lot less, I am basing this on Tolbert carrying the load today.

    Boldin

    Really? This guy is frustrating...
  24. lagarzlebrew
