Hey strongflour, I work in Kansas in the insurance industry. I live on the Misery side though (KCMO, to be truthful and it is an awesome city). Wonder if we work for the same company. You work in JOCO?

On the Kansas side my dollar never seems to go as far as it does on the Missouri side.

<t>No I am not joking around...that routine I do was actually developed as a kind of confidence builder a while back...my doctor suggested I do something that would normally make me feel embarrased so that I can work past social anxiety...that's why I do it (sometimes).<br/> <br/> I think the pictur...

<t>Class: <br/> <br/> Barak Obama<br/> <br/> Herb Kelleher<br/> <br/> Carl Kassell<br/> <br/> Justices Kennedy and Roberts (both incredibly articulate and well-spoken, even when I don't agree with them).<br/> <br/> George H.W. Bush - had a classy, worldly image...even though I wasn't crazy about him...

And that is the biggest problem with communism. There is no incentive to keep the economy in anything but a stasis - there is no incentive for growth. With no rewards for inovation or invention, why would someone even bother?

<t>Government does have a responsibility to create an environment that promotes economic growth, no doubt. If New York State corporate/business taxes are too high, then businesses will move out, and the economy will suffer. To create the right environment, the government has to keep its hands off th...

I always thought about being an architect, but my education just doesn't have the foundation...plus I couldn't support going back to school...

<t>I wanted to be a computer programmer, but the job bytes.<br/> <br/> Then I thought about being a mortician, but I just didn't want to get buried with work.<br/> <br/> Then I though about being a lawyer, but I am a casual guy and just couldn't do suits everyday.<br/> <br/> But I will become a prof...

I once fell in love with a communist. That didn't work...she would take my paycheck and distribute it equally among her friends, and then told me to get back to work because it was good for our morale.

<t>As for political party, I would not worry so much about that if you are unaffiliated. The important thing to do is to look at each candidate's positions and determine how you feel about them. There are pro-life democrats, there are Republicans who are for environmental conservation, ect. To pidge...

When I registered I refused to be either a democrat or a republican because they both shamed me (and I was pretty rebellious at the time) so I became a Libertarian. ...

<t>This is what I look like...sorry the picture is crappy, but I hate photographs and the only one I have of myself was required by the government (drivers license). I can't get my foot in the door on the dating scene because I just think I am so hideous...<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> be honest, should I...

I have been single my whole life.

I'm fuming...and it's frustrating...

all I wanted to do was upload a picture...

<t>Practicing piano. Aside from work, I mainly stay home and practice or read. That's about it. I don't like to show my face in public unless I feel good that day - like I have some semblance of an answer to my question. Otherwise, I get super paranoid - when I walk into a bar and hear people laughi...

<t>I am going to be completely honest here, because I started seeing a mental health professional last week, and I just need to open up about what I have been suffering through...<br/> <br/> I am 27 years old and I have never been in one relationship with a member of the opposite sex my entire life....

<t>I love America. I live here. But I have a couple beefs. I don't think that if I criticize something (like the war in Iraq), I should be labeled "unpatriotic" or worse, a "terrorist sympathizer". All Americans are in this together, and we should be able to criticize an action our country takes if ...

<t>I went to Wichita a few weeks ago for business. Wichita is in the state of Kansas, sorta smack dab in the middle. It is not a large metropolis. There are no subways, so if you like public transportation, Wichita may not be the best place to live. The earth is relatively flat in this area of the c...

rinsing and repeating.

Insurance Fraud Investigator.

I look at the thefts that get reported to my insurance company, and talk with police and take recorded statements/interview insureds and witnesses and determine if they sound logical or if they have any red flags that require further investigation.

<t>I live in Kansas City, Missouri and work in Olathe, Kansas. Things I like about where I live:<br/> <br/> 1. I live two blocks west of the Plaza, which is an awesome section of KC. I am about one mile from Westport, another really neat section of the city.<br/> <br/> 2. I get to cross a state line...

Welcome to FG!


hey! I reserve a touchdown dance for that kind of activity....:-4 (yes, this is actually true)

<t>So I decided to join. Hello all. My name is John. I live in Kansas City. <br/> <br/> I am 27, like reading, art, pretty much all types of music, and hiking. Sometimes when I get happy and I am stopped at a redlight I will do a routine I call "U2 Boy", where I blast an upbeat U2 song, get out of m...
