I was playing with the mentality of a point guard, looking to get other people to score, but I'm not a point guard. When I get the ball, it's coming to me to score. I just wasn't being aggressive. I lost confidence so I didn't think I could make shots. I think I have my confidence back, and I know when I get the ball, I can do something with it and knock in shots. |
I would expect the bond is going to do a lot better after this report. You look at this headline (and) it worries you, but then you look at the details in this report and you see what is going on. I think the more people look at this report today, the more they are going to like it, the less they are going to fear it, and the better the bond market is going to do. |
I wouldn't be surprised if someday some fishermen caught a big shark and cut it open, and there inside was a whole person. Then they cut the person open, and in him is a little baby shark. And in the baby shark there isn't a person, because it would be too small. But there's a little doll or something, like a Johnny Combat little toy guy - something like that. |
I'd say Toronto is the biggest disappointment only because they didn't prepare for this two years ago. I think they were among those teams that thought the new system would include a luxury tax, like baseball has, and they'd pay that and spend what they wanted. They never thought they'd be in a position where they couldn't just write checks and make everything OK. |
I'll never forget the first time my family came to see me do stand-up, ... It was an awful bombing. It was like a damn terrorist attack. I was onstage in Washington, D.C., and the audience was talking. Some of them even turned their backs to me. I was paralyzed. I couldn't even move. I just kept talking until I heard my mother yell out, 'Wanda! Get off the stage!' |
I'm comfortable, based on my observations and just from talking to a couple of players, that there's no issue for us. Personally, it's a big issue with me. Every charter flight, I go back, see if there's a card game going on, make sure it's not getting silly, talk to the captains about it. It can really split your team if a guy loses a lot of money on a card game. |
I'm real happy with how the guys battled back in both games. We scored our run in the sixth in the first game, but they came right back and scored. We had the right guys up in the eighth and got one around. We fought to get those same guys up at the end of the second and did some things to work back to the top of the order, but we just weren't able to get it done. |
I'm really careful with my text messaging. I've read my friends text messages that are embarrassing though. Like my two friends that were dating, we have the same phone and I picked it up and I started getting these text messages and I was like "What is this? What is this?" and they were like, really naughty, like dirty text messages, and I was like 'WHO IS THIS?' |

If I knew exactly why we shoot foul shots well, I would tell you. I think our kids work on it, and they know we like to get to the bucket, so if they get fouled, they have to be able to step up and make those shots. It is particularly critical in the tournament and late in games. We talk all the time about different scenarios and being able to step up at the line. |
If you consider that local and state governments have to operate balanced budgets, if $10 million is being committed to provide tax cuts and tax incentives to a particular business or industry, then that means $10 million is going to have to be cut from overall expenditures, or revenues are going to have to be enhanced in other areas to make up for the difference. |
If you had any damage caused by Hurricane Wilma that occurred October 23 through November 18, 2005, we hope you will visit the Center and personally meet with an SBA Representative. Our staff will be glad to answer any questions about the disaster loan program, give you an application, and provide any extra help you may need or want in completing your application. |
If you look at NASCAR like it's a consumer product, you always talk about national distribution. Literally within the last dozen years or so, NASCAR has come to L.A., Chicago, Detroit, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Miami and New Hampshire. The objective of that plan was to bring in new fans and attract more people to the sport, to market to the widest possible audience. |
If you really look at humor, that's what most of it is anyway. Somebody wisecracking at somebody else. Putting them down. If you look at all the sitcoms, that's all sitcoms are today. Things never change. Sardonic, sarcastic humor is always prevalent. It's hard to do something funny without being that way. It's classier if you didn't have to resort to it, I think. |
If you're going on even an entry-level job interview take the time to follow up with a handwritten note, even if your handwriting isn't the best and even if you can't use four-syllable words. Just showing that initiative makes a difference. If someone takes the time to write a note . . . I've had many employers tell me it's a way they make a decision about hiring. |
