My mom cut back her blood pressure meds in response to her extreme dizzyness, face puffing, should she go to the ER or just wait till her next appoint -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 26, 11:41 4
- At the very least she should be scheduling a new appointment for as soon as the doctor can get her in. -- nm - Ender Apr 26, 11:44
- What about Urgent Care? -- nm - con_carne Apr 26, 11:43
- Has she tried her doctor yet? -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 11:43

This company is full of old people. All I have to do is put on my hoodie's hood, and it weirds people out. - con_carne Apr 26, 11:35 2
- are they old, or do they ahve good taste? - loosilu Apr 26, 11:36 1
  - The hoodie is not my top choice of office wear, but this Accounting office is located in a drafty warehouse. -- nm - con_carne Apr 26, 11:39
ST Opinions: First reaction to the look/feel of this -- (link) - oblique Apr 26, 11:33 [SmugMug] 8 1
- It's pleasing -- nm - con_carne Apr 26, 11:37
- Pretty decent. I might like to see the center area widened (not using up the left/right currently) -- nm - Don Homer Apr 26, 11:37 2
  - Yeah, I'm not sure if I have control over that yet. Still playing around with the smugmug customization tools -- nm - oblique Apr 26, 11:37 1

Bigger payouts if you get bumped means booking non-emergency flights on busier travel days might not be such a bad idea. -- (link) - mara Apr 26, 11:31 1

- I would like fuel economy reports, please, as well as a snack report. thanks. -- nm - amanda jones Apr 26, 11:37 3
  - Mileage wasn't that great b/c I was going a bit fast. Finished at 39.3 for the trip. We bought lots of snacks, but I only ended up eating 3 packages - prayformojo Apr 26, 11:40 2
    - Fruit snacks? FRUIT SNACKS???? C'mon man, is this your first road trip? Where's the Combos and Corn Nuts and Slim Jims? -- nm - Jim Apr 26, 11:43 1
      - Dunno, but whatever my formula was, it was perfect - prayformojo Apr 26, 11:46
- Snacks? -- nm - flavorize Apr 26, 11:36
- *jealous* -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 11:26 14
  - DC is pretty sweet. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 11:27 13
    - I think he's jealous of driving 720 miles. Man, that'd be fun -- nm - CQ Apr 26, 11:27 12
      - Top Gear is his pron. -- nm - Amy Apr 26, 11:44 1
        
        this - Spawn Apr 26, 11:44
      - You guys have a strange concept of "fun". -- nm - Mop (212 lbs) Apr 26, 11:38 2
        
        Driving a car is in my top 4 or 5 favorite things to do. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 11:40
        
        yeah, we're being sarcastic here -- nm - CQ Apr 26, 11:40
      - That, and through the night. Sounds about like the PC Florida to Bloomington trip I used to make. Think that was 600-650. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 11:33 2
        
        I remember doing Southern Ontario to Princeton, NJ, overnight - but we were a *lot* younger then :) - MojaveMeg Apr 26, 11:35 1
        
        I've done straight through FL to NY. 1300 miles when I was in my young 20's. once! :) -- nm - CQ Apr 26, 11:41
      - I think Spawn just loves tollbooths -- nm - con_carne Apr 26, 11:29 2
        
        I do enjoy seeing just how fast I can go through them. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 11:35
        
        well duh. someday, one of them might be the phantom tollbooth. - TFox Apr 26, 11:30
      - I love driving, but that's too much for one shot, for me. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 11:28
S04 lineup - Danedukenuuk Apr 26, 11:24
LYC - so, there is a guy in my office that i almost never deal with. today i had to go see him at his desk about something... - Andie Apr 26, 11:23
Wow. "Facebook adds 'Send' button" is a top story. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 11:22 2
- reminds me of the Simpsons when the Malibou Stacy doll added a new hat -- nm - Beaker Apr 26, 11:23
- "Send Evil" -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 11:23
actually few weddings have the bride 'given' away, usually if requested I'll ask who 'presents' the bride, other officiants ask who blesses the wed... - zeitgeist Apr 26, 11:15 24
- What? Pretty much every wedding I've ever gone to has had the father of the bride walking her down the aisle. -- nm - Jim Apr 26, 11:20 20
  - (you're not really expecting zeitgeist's wedding stats to be representative of anything, are you?) - TFox Apr 26, 11:27 3
    - true, I have done weddings at Denny's, and most of my clients are non church (though strangely enough I have done about a dozen IN churches) -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 26, 11:36
    - I agree with him. I don't think I've ever been to a wedding where the father gives away the bride. - loosilu Apr 26, 11:27 1
      - Of course you do. -- nm - Jim Apr 26, 11:37
  - He talking about the words used by the officiant, though. -- nm - mara Apr 26, 11:22 15
    - It thought it was all "Who giveth this woman." "She and I do." They kept it, but just added that the bride gives herself, too. -- nm - Amy Apr 26, 11:24 14
      - Yeah...I still hear it in pretty much every wedding I attend. "Who giveth this woman?" "Her mother and I" is pretty common. -- nm - Jim Apr 26, 11:25 13
        
        I am so excited to ahve four weddings to go to this summer. helllo, cake! (hellllo, groomsmen!) -- nm - amanda jones Apr 26, 11:26 5
        
        i am actively telling people i'm annoyed i don't have any. i keep seeing perfect dresses and have no reason to justify buying them. -- nm - Andie Apr 26, 11:27 4
        
        if you lived closer, I would take you as my date to tyler's wedding. he -- nm - amanda jones Apr 26, 11:40
        
        we just got an invite in the mail for August in Colorado. That's doable, right? -- nm - CQ Apr 26, 11:31 2
        
        are you asking me to a wedding? and you, a married man! scandalous! - Andie Apr 26, 11:31 1
        
        yeah, that didn't sound too good, heh -- nm - CQ Apr 26, 11:33
        
        zeitgeist is clearly an exceptional officiant and largely involved in exceptional ceremonies, i guess. :-) -- nm - mara Apr 26, 11:26 6
        
        Jim is agreeing with Z. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 11:29 4
        
        He's agreeing with Amy. And this is a very silly subthread. -- nm - mara Apr 26, 11:30
        
        ...... -- nm - TFox Apr 26, 11:29 2
        
        *snork* -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 11:44
        
        ah, go ahead and do your Loosi is Wrong dance. I misread Z's post. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 11:30
        
        Word. -- nm - Jim Apr 26, 11:27
- As long as women are changing their last names, it will be so. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 11:16 2
  - in most states, last name issues is dealt with AFTER the wedding, not as part of the application/license or certificate process -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 26, 11:20 1
    - I speak of the process. The wife is given away from who she was, usually by her family. The name change is indicative of such change. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 11:21
Titanic's "Unknown Child" is finally identified by DNA. -- (link) - loosilu Apr 26, 11:13
Shipping Today: The Toursit, Skyline (Ouch) -- nm - MDH Apr 26, 11:09 1
- at home: The Tourist, The King's Speech, and Conviction -- nm - CQ Apr 26, 11:14
Wow, I didn't think that would work. Sorry, dano! -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 11:02 2
- [deleted] 1
  - If that's a euphemism for a 102-point word in WWF, maybe -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 11:03

- happy happy -- nm - CQ Apr 26, 10:57
"Last typewriter manufacturer closes" story is debunked. -- (link) - mara Apr 26, 10:54 3
- because if you let prisoners use quills they'll stab each other's eye out... -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 26, 11:19
- Nerds everywhere saddened -- nm - con_carne Apr 26, 11:00
- I suspect they were really referring to the old style 'non-electronic' typewriter, although this article does note that one of these has "no memory" -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 26, 10:59
"Just How Nutty Is Scott Adams" -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 26, 10:53 6
- I don't care for his non-cartoon schtick, but I think it's a bit of folly to try and pin down the actual beliefs of an agent provocateur who deals liberally in sarcasm. -- nm - Ender Apr 26, 10:58 5
  - He's either an idiot or a troll. I don't think either reflects well on him. -- nm - Reagen Apr 26, 11:06 1
    - I think he's a great example of a very popular person who has let success encourage him in his darker tendencies. - David Apr 26, 11:14
  - I enjoyed his "God's Debris" book from years back, but haven't really followed anything about him recently. -- nm - znufrii Apr 26, 11:03 1
    - Ditto. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 26, 11:07
  - Thus my choice to avoid him and his productions where possible. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 10:59
LIR Bery: ouch, that hurts. that's a lot of waking up. ugh. I feel for you -- nm - CQ Apr 26, 10:49 15
- He's teething something fierce right now, I think -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 10:54 12
  - I still cannot believe it took Logan 2 and a half years to sleep through. -- nm - Amy Apr 26, 11:12 4
    - i cannot believe you survived it. -- nm - Andie Apr 26, 11:16 3
      - Didn't think we'd make it through it. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 11:17 1
        
        Let's be honest--we haven't recovered. Our sleep sitch is still way weird. -- nm - Amy Apr 26, 11:20
      - right? that is crazy. our white noise machine works wonders I think -- nm - CQ Apr 26, 11:16
  - Oh that is not a fun time. There are some water filled things that can be chilled and they can munch on it. -- nm - lileve Apr 26, 11:02 3
    - yeah, we find that that doesn't help at bedtime. We sometimes use baby tylenol. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 11:02 2
      - I was searching and the magic Hyland's Teething Tablets got recalled! They must have been a little too magic. -- nm - Amy Apr 26, 11:19
      - Oh. What about that stuff that numbs tooth pain, is it ok for babys? -- nm - lileve Apr 26, 11:04
  - yeah, that'll do it. we tried the baby oragel, not sold on it -- nm - CQ Apr 26, 10:55 2
    - you're supposed to give it to him. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 26, 10:56 1
      - *smacks forehead* parenting is hard -- nm - CQ Apr 26, 10:56
- Heh, sad thing is that looks a lot like my sleeping schedule...at least I have the ability to go right back to sleep. -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 26, 10:54 1
  - turn down a sailor or two, hussy. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 26, 10:54
Drink in that NPORT goodness -- nm - con_carne Apr 26, 10:48
My Braves game is starting the 12th inning, so I have no idea yet if we won or not but the Braves played tremendous defense last night. - David Apr 26, 10:46 1
- Rats. -- nm - David Apr 26, 10:57
TMQ tackles the NFL labour war -- (link) - Beaker Apr 26, 10:45 1

Here I was thinking that Hot Sauce Committee was out. I have to stream it for another week? Boo. - TFox Apr 26, 10:44 1
- I was going to send you an email. :-)( -- nm - Krusty Apr 26, 10:46
Krusty - I've heard raves about Animal Collective -- nm - con_carne Apr 26, 10:42 17
- Added to the list. I'm open to anything right now. I'm bored of my music collection. - Krusty Apr 26, 10:46 15
  - The new Pharoahe Monch is so genius it will rip your ears off your head. - TFox Apr 26, 10:49 12
    - (you might like Sleigh Bells maybe. The Roots' album last year was phenomenal. Donald Glover from Community has a free mixtape as Childish Gambino.) - TFox Apr 26, 10:55 1
      - The Roots are one of those groups I never remember when I'm looking for something to pick up and check out. Speaking of... - Krusty Apr 26, 11:02
    - I'm getting back in to rock music which I've avoided for the most part for the better part of the last decade. - Krusty Apr 26, 10:53 9
      - Did you hear the One Day as a Lion EP? (Zach's latest project.) - TFox Apr 26, 10:59 1
        
        Nope, I've heard very little from Zach. I've heard SOAD and The White Stripes but only the big hits. None of the other groups you mentioned - Krusty Apr 26, 11:05
      - Pure Rock Fury by Clutch. It came out in '01, but is in the RATM vein - con_carne Apr 26, 10:57 5
        
        Sweet. :-) -- nm - Krusty Apr 26, 11:06 4
        
        And admittedly, Tool's 10,000 Days grew on me. Nothing Tool does ever disappoints me. -- nm - con_carne Apr 26, 11:15 2
        
        I think I gave up on it too early. - Mel Profit Apr 26, 11:20 1
        
        (no you didn't.) -- nm - TFox Apr 26, 11:27
        
        The Elephant Riders, for when you've digested that one (I love this band) -- nm - con_carne Apr 26, 11:10
      - And yes, I do know that BlakRoc album is rap/rock but it got me to check out other Black Keys stuff. -- nm - Krusty Apr 26, 10:54
  - Life in a Blender just released a new album... -- nm - znufrii Apr 26, 10:46 1
    - Noted, thanks. :-) -- nm - Krusty Apr 26, 10:55
- (but just Merriweather Post Pavilion. "Feels" is some bullshit.) -- nm - TFox Apr 26, 10:43
so - how much to tip DJs at a wedding? -- nm - Diva Apr 26, 10:42 7
- I don't remember. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 26, 10:52 1
  - But he was great, we treated him well. Played every song we wanted and condensed the schedule at the end when we decided on an earlier exit. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 26, 10:53
- I gave mine an extra hunge -- nm - CQ Apr 26, 10:50 3
  - is this a rating or a tip? - Diva Apr 26, 10:51
  - he was a buddy of mine that did it for $200. that was for 4 hours -- nm - CQ Apr 26, 10:51 1
    - I don't get why there are still DJs. doesn't everyone own an ipod? - amanda jones Apr 26, 11:24
- Bastard's not gettin a flippin red cent -- nm - The Mother of the Bride Apr 26, 10:42
