You're better finding an independent than using an agency.

Broward County + Al Gore = everyone knows their BS. ( although I get tired of saying this the media bias did a damn good job of hiding it from as many unsuspecting koolaid drinkers as possible)
Overall I prefer a split power structure. I hate to give too much power to one party ever. Trump never had the unlimited power Obama did when he first took office for a handful of reasons but I still prefer the split party situation we have now......it will be interesting if "Gollum" decides to retire and we have another SC Justice slot open up.

COBRA does cost a fortune. ( for a short period of time been there done that)
What happened in 2008 would take longer than I have today to discuss and a board is no place for it.......but any discussion which does not include the complete hypocrisy and mismanagement of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the subsequent cover up and attempted bluster and BS of Barney Frank, Pelosi, and a few other names I will leave out of the comment for now I submit is the real fudge....( I could take a swipe at Frank about fudge but I'll pass on that for now as well)
Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Lehman Brothers, Bear Sterns and a few others got the headlines and in the end three of those companies paid a heavy price ( two of them are gone) but they were given all of the blame when in fact a good deal of it should have been kept right inside the beltway.

Dominic in Ohio the ads were about as bad as I have ever seen. I've been coming there for work for close to six years now so I have seen a few election cycles in the state --couple of people all they ever do each campaign is throw mud but this year in Ohio every single ad I saw was the same.
As far as government intervention and regulation anything the government does takes twice as long and cost three times as much money.......and there are decades of examples to draw from.

This is all from memory but the back and forth about Health Care started with Paul Ryan and the number was 23 million people.
The problem---and this is just one shining example of liberal media bias is I don't recall Ryan ever stating he wanted to dump the 23 million. What he wanted to do was segment them into a high risk pool and have each state decide how to provide health care......and ( and this is the big and) provide each of those states to the tune of 100 billion dollars.
From his perspective and economic models Obamacare is not sustainable. Right or wrong in his mind it's going to collapse eventually and the cost to keep running it as is will exceed his plan.
And just as a side note and something I had stated earlier in another conversation this is the first year I haven't been hit with a rate increase in a decade. Is that a plus for Trump or is just I'm lucky? ( I really do not know and others on here when I poised this question before stated they have seen increases this year)
But in this election what you hear is Republicans want to take away Health Care........and none of the details...........

Under Armour is a sports clothing company that has made a fair amount of people wealthier than they were at one time based in the Maryland/Baltimore area.

Dominic I don't think it is only the money but it does come from the wisdom you gain as you are making money and building wealth. I'm sure there is a better way to explain but the decisions you make for a career, life choices, etc. give you a better perspective and confidence around women.
Most women wouldn't admit it but 9's have different issues that make them just as insecure as less attractive women. I'm far from an expert and I was lucky for whatever reason when I was younger. It wasn't until I hit my very late 20's I started to date and understood what the hell I was doing and why it worked for me.

RM--I didn't see it so I can't comment but what I have consistently seen is some very clever editing of speeches by Republicans that are being used against them and the same old tired accusations of taking away senior benefits, health care, and women's rights being used aka fear tactics-- that we must take back our country ( I never realized we had been invaded and lost it)
On the reverse side the Republican ads all point to tax increases and marauding hordes invading our nation not seen since the time of the fall of the Roman Empire ( although I have to admit I feel at times and have said so we are a lot like Rome 400 AD and we just don't realize it)
At this point sadly I don't expect much from anyone who is a politician except knowing that I will need to take a shower to get rid of the filth I feel after coming in contact with almost all of them.
What I do state repeatedly is that if you are going to judge then judge both parties equally and keep in mind exactly how and why we got Trump to begin with and who had a hand in it.

I missed the Trump ad but in all fairness RM about 95% of the ads I see target gullible people who want to believe what they want to believe and I don't see the media jumping in to remove some of them.
I can cite examples if you like.

Just do shine a little light ( scary for a troll I realize) I don't need to send you pictures of a few of them......you can find them in magazines or on the silver screen.........so if your intent is to try and put out that old tired line that the only reason guys go to clubs or see escorts is they can't find women without cash I'd take a long walk to clear your head....( just do it at night. I'd hate for the sunlight during the day to turn you to stone)

I've been in six different states over the past month and without a doubt the political commercials in Ohio are the worst.
Half the time I can't tell what anyone is even trying to say except that the other guy/gal is "not one of us" and is one step below a serial killer.

I'm no socialist but I suspect the House is going to move to the Democrats and maybe more importantly in the long run the hold the Republicans have had with the Governor Seats is going to be cut.
FWIW I don't look at this as anything unusual despite the media's attempt to call the situation that way.....happens more times than not during midterms.

I don't live in Cleveland but I am there often for work. I've been to most of the clubs over the years ( except the ones you can get shot in) and for the most part I'm not so sure the dancers in downtown are any better looking than the ones in the burbs.
As for little or no contact unless something drastic has changed in the past 60-90 days the West bank of the Flats has a place with very good contact although from my own perspective the hotness of the girl varies from "no way" to a solid 8 on Thur-Sat.

DC--yes especially if they are including real estate in that million because depending on the situation and location it's not liquid enough.
One of the secrets to my life has been to work in large cities, ( have clients there) but live in small town USA. A lot more people do it now than when I started my own business decades ago but based on what I observed back then I was ahead of the curve.
The DC area in particular has a lot of people living large but living paycheck to paycheck and in some cases not being able to cover their bills even then.

I disagree with this statement.........
For instance if you are a guy in his 50s who stays fit, you are NOT unique on SA
and even more so with this one
add a couple pics in a business suit, or polo shirt with a golden retriever, you are already maxed out on the shirtless pics.
