The first being a measure of gain and the second a measure against an expectation of less than 100% of what is possible.


    Is it just me or does it seem that auto-correct should more often than not be considered an oxymoron.
    Cant thank you enough,I really hate to call someone a dolt or ballbreaker.......sometimes I need a translater.

    I disconnected my home security system and unregistered from neighborhood watch. I've placed two Pakistani flags on the corners of my property, and an ISIS flag near my front door.

    My property is now being watched by local police, the RCMP, CSIS, the CIA, NSA, MI5, MI6, etc., etc.

    I've never felt safer, and I'm saving $49.95/month.
