In my sleep deprived state, I bit without thinking about who was posting. Thanks for a good laugh.

My first thought was "someone has too much time on their hands"
My second thought was "chuckle,...a good laugh"
My third thought was "where's the popcorn...wonder how long before this becomes a political debate"

Good point about the popcorn which thanks to you, I now understand the significance of regarding hot topics. I am thinking back to when I joked about the White House Correspondents dinner and how hot that became.

By the way, to whomever posted a picture of popcorn in a recent thread, that was not a nice thing to do to someone who was on a paleo type diet

I work in HR, and sadly, my response when I read the title was, "There are about 20,000 pages of regulations and amendments related to the Affordable Care Act. I wouldn't be surprised if there is such a weird loophole that could be interpreted that way." Which, of course, would then require more pages of amendments to fix it...

I went to a conference and during the ACA session (which was standing room only), they physically demonstrated the volume of paper needed to print the entire Act. A man came in with a handtruck with paper stacked about 8 feet high! I actually know someone who has read every page. She's a self-admitted nerd.

Speaking of helpful tips, when replacing RJ-45 plugs, it's REAL helpful to keep an Orange or Brown twisted pair together till you're ready to do your crimp. Honestly, most of the time I can't tell the difference between the orange and brown striped wires with any degree of reliability.

Considering the level of love for DMEs around here, you may not want to join their ranks

I saw this when I first checked in ... And thought to myself "Here we go again, but I'll stay out of it!"

I just couldn't not open it to see though ... Finely! ( I held off for a few hours!)

Glad it's a joke!

And if you cross the wires you're likely to tap straight into the NSA database.

Try this paleo-diet alternative instead ...
