- a lot of those new offers are for 'self employment' cards, being a 'commercial' account you don't have any of those rights consumers just received -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 26, 20:20 2

- I would be surprised if 9 teams blew it like that, but those teams are picking in the top 10 for a reason. -- nm - David Apr 26, 19:56 7
  - I'm thinking Newton, Gabbert, Green, Dareus, Miller, Bowers, Peterson... - Jim Apr 26, 19:59 6
    - Usually, there is that one guy in the top ten who nobody had graded that high who gets drafted too soon. - David Apr 26, 20:07
    - I'm curious where Bowers goes. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 26, 20:07 4
      - Some people think he doesn't go in the top 25. That seems extreme but you never know. -- nm - David Apr 26, 20:08 3
        
        As a fan of the team picking 26th, I hope that happens. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 26, 21:00 2

Dano's issues with THG are why I've resisted starting the series. - Reagen Apr 26, 19:39 10

  - Wow. From you, this is kind -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 19:47
- You have to read these. You're missing out. -- nm - David Apr 26, 19:42 3
  - It's the same reason I stopped reading the Harry Potter series. -- nm - Reagen Apr 26, 22:08

    - Adobe Photoshop CS5 has great reviews. Is that the one you were talking about? -- nm - Bacon Apr 26, 19:59 10
      - or 4 or 3....for what you would use it for i'm sure any version would do -- nm - J Apr 26, 20:17
      - CS5 is the current version of the full suite. It is pretty expensive, but it's the clear winner in that space. - Fuzzy Apr 26, 20:16 8
        
        buy an older and much cheaper version, then the upgrade, usually cheaper that way -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 26, 20:22 3
        
        There's also the fact that the year-over-year upgrades are hardly revolutionary so he may be good with CS1 or CS2. Or even Elements. -- nm - Mop Apr 26, 20:39 2
        
        I keep thinking to myself, what more could they possibly come up with that we really need to spend more money on. and dang if they don't do just that - stoner cow orkers Apr 26, 22:34 1
        
        maybe if those cow orkers weren't so stoned they'd realize they don't need a 900$ software package just adjust some family snapshots -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 26, 22:36
        
        Yeah, $200 but I am going to write off the expense on my business. I liked the reviews. - Bacon Apr 26, 20:20 3
        
        $200 where? Usually it's around $800 I think. -- nm - Fuzzy Apr 26, 20:25 2
        
        Check this out and tell me if I am missing something. -- (link) - Bacon Apr 26, 20:27 1

  - yeah, bring her in and sit on those hard plastic seats for a few hours till we get to you -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 26, 20:24
- military hosp, they send them to iraq, but lately her primary has stayed the same, but her surgeon screwed with the BP THIS TIME -- nm - z's replacement droid Apr 26, 19:09 1
  - That is really frustrating. I hope they get her under control. Argh!! Anyway to go back to what she was on?? -- nm - Bacon Apr 26, 19:10
- Never mind this question. Military hospital = doctors rotating in and out. VA is the same way. -- nm - Bacon Apr 26, 19:08 6
  - Are people who have military benefits not able to go to a regular hospital? is their insurance not good there? -- nm - kelly Apr 26, 19:10 5
    - Yeah, VA hospital or military base. I think if you are out of an area you can use private hospital but I don't know the radius. - Bacon Apr 26, 19:12 4
      - seniors tricare is just another part B provider, but everything is free, all meds etc - z's replacement droid Apr 26, 19:18 3

        My Dad won't leave the VA system even though he is old enough for Medicare. -- nm - Bacon Apr 26, 19:21 1
        
        exactly, in fact one of the reasons we decided to move to this town was that we figured they wouldn't close all the bases like they did in NoCal -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 26, 23:32
Ender, I would guess they're referring to Travellers, since they're sometimes referred to as Gypsies. - loosilu Apr 26, 19:06 5
- roll 2d6 -- nm - zork Apr 26, 19:39
- You know how I can tell I'm speaking to a Traveler? The can't say "th" properly. The say tree instead of three. - Epiphany Apr 26, 19:17 2
  - I don't think I ever met a Traveler. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 19:29 1
    - We used to get them making bad returns in the department store where I worked. -- nm - Kim Pine Apr 26, 19:36
- an old neighbor/cop said the weird thing is, they do tend to be hard workers and if they just did an honest job would likely be successful contractors - z's replacement droid Apr 26, 19:14

    - I do the extremely amateurish level of it at work - it's called Helpdesk, and it's frustrating as fuck. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Apr 26, 19:13 2
      - I have a question for you. - Bacon Apr 26, 19:14 1
        
        No! I leave those arrogant mofos to be impaled on their own arrows. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Apr 26, 19:50
    - I'm guessing it takes years of training. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 19:11 1
      - Oh I am sure it does. I know how to build computers on the hardware side, but software is where I get into problems. -- nm - Bacon Apr 26, 19:13
