- spoiler question - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 30, 19:43
Just saw an Insidious commercial with my brother - ty97 Mar 30, 19:30 8
- it's actually getting decent reviews, and not just from the hacks and shills. -- nm - Reagen Mar 30, 19:34 6
  - It played SXSW which suggests there might be some quality, but the commercial spots are dreadful. - ty97 Mar 30, 19:40 1
    - I actually think the ads are a cut above usual horror. -- nm - Reagen Mar 30, 19:43
  - Hacks and Shills sounds like a bad buddy caper. nm - ralph wiggum Mar 30, 19:36 3
    - Starring Matt LeBlanc -- nm - Dano Mar 30, 19:39
    - I thought that was ML's law firm -- nm - prayformojo Mar 30, 19:39 1

Phillip is crazy -- nm - amoxy Mar 30, 19:29
My wife complained to me tonight that I can not cut the top off of a Freezie and that my method leads to cutting your mouth.... - Walt_ Disney Mar 30, 19:27 1
- did she worry you might cut yourself? - Danedukenuuk Mar 30, 19:31
mara - I accidentally hit 'cancel' on the rematch, so I started a new game. -- nm - kelly Mar 30, 19:26
Hmm, I'm not sure how close that was to true jambalaya but it sure was tasty... -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 30, 19:14 3
- Costco has some great jambalaya -- nm - Remlik Mar 30, 19:18 2
  - No doubt - but I try to avoid pre-packaged :) Not like I don't have plenty of time to cook :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 30, 19:22 1
    - fair enough -- nm - Remlik Mar 30, 19:27
Wow wow wow - I LOVE what Top Chef All -- nm - JenBro Mar 30, 19:10 4

Relationships poll: Is there a common point break for a couples who are not moving forward, just dating continuously? - Facto Mar 30, 19:07 33
- 17 months. -- nm - amanda jones Mar 30, 19:31 1
  - Heh.. :) -- nm - Facto Mar 30, 19:31
- when the batteries run out is a natural stopping point. -- nm - Reagen Mar 30, 19:27
- i am not sure, but I would say it would be when the other person actively avoids/prevents you from meeting their friends/family -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 30, 19:12 25
  - Perhaps. A relationship is not easy to give up, though. - Facto Mar 30, 19:19 24
    - your not in love but the sex is good? -- nm - Epiphany Mar 30, 19:24 10
      - Or you are not in love but the companionship is good... - Facto Mar 30, 19:31 9
        
        If you are needing " love" or " deeper intimacy - then it will be hard to find that right person when with someone else - Epiphany Mar 30, 19:40 2
        
        Indeed it is. -- nm - Facto Mar 30, 19:42
        
        exactly! hanging on to Mr. Tolerable hurts everyone. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 19:42
        
        if it's only companionship, I'm out of there. I have friends. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 19:31 5
        
        It's a friend with benefits, though. - Facto Mar 30, 19:41 4
        
        " tolerable" is only going to make a person easily distraced by someone else - Epiphany Mar 30, 19:50 1
        
        read it - you make some fine points -- nm - Facto Mar 30, 20:09
        
        my tolerance is pretty low. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 19:42 1
        
        I am willing to believe you :)) -- nm - Facto Mar 30, 19:43
    - I don't know. I usually find it harder to stay than to leave. I'm a bolter. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 19:23 10
      - to explain a little more: If I don't actively want to be there, then I actively want to not be there. - loosilu Mar 30, 19:23 9
        
        You'd rather be single? :) I have a follow-up question: How long, maximum, until you know whether you really like him, or that you should bolt? - Facto Mar 30, 19:27 8
        
        oh, I know pretty fast. One time I stuck around because people berated me for not giving it a chance. I stuck it out for nine months. - loosilu Mar 30, 19:30 7
        
        It's like from Seinfeld.. :-) -- nm - Facto Mar 30, 19:32 6
        
        if I am not into him, I know right away. Sticking around any longer is not just a waste of everyone's time, it annoys the crap out of me. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 19:33 5
        
        A bit like Elaine.. Or Jerry. - Facto Mar 30, 19:37 4
        
        good sex is the only reason I would consider hanging on. - loosilu Mar 30, 19:38 3
        
        well you *could* but should you ?might be the question ( to IM) -- nm - Epiphany Mar 30, 19:42 1
        
        I don't know. I've only done it once or twice and the guy was fine with it. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 19:43
        
        Ah, I wrote about this at the same time, above, in a reply to you.. ;) -- nm - Facto Mar 30, 19:42
    - true. its a personal decision, which is why it is hard to explain. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 30, 19:20
    - And of course, your suggestion is a good example of such a sign. -- nm - Facto Mar 30, 19:20
- when your needs are not being met (whatever those are) time to move on -- nm - Epiphany Mar 30, 19:11 3
  - In married or otherwise long-time couples, there's the three year crisis, and the more famous seven year crisis. But what with those dating? Is there - Facto Mar 30, 19:23 2
    - i bet some statistics geek has done a study on this already -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 30, 19:27 1
