  - I appreciate it. - MDH Jul 18, 09:19
  - (or, just this: i'm sorry.) - kare Jul 18, 09:15

Sometimes when I'm alone I think of what it would look like if someone walked in on me that moment... - RooRoo Jul 18, 09:07 3
- Can I ask you a work-related question? - prayformojo Jul 18, 09:09 2
  - yes. Depending on the size of the shed you can actually just get a small shed. You can get one delivered but you don't have to actually - RooRoo Jul 18, 09:17
  - you can yes. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 18, 09:09

  - I'm ready to soldier on (S4 finale spoiler) - con_carne Jul 18, 09:15
- (I'm being unfair because I wasn't feeling the finale... *revises to B+*) -- nm - con_carne Jul 18, 09:09 2

What are the opinions that I'd get screwed over on this deal? -- (link) - oblique Jul 18, 09:04 18
- I'd get estimates. Painting bids tend to vary pretty widely (I wouldn't necessarily take the cheapest bid either). What you describe is probably a - pmb Jul 18, 09:11
- it would have been better if you'd had an estimate prior. I would think you'll pay the same. - the endless summer of smamanda jones Jul 18, 09:08
- you can't paint yourself? nm -- nm - groiny Jul 18, 09:05 15
  - Difficult for him to paint that kilbo ass. -- nm - Spawn Jul 18, 09:09
  - 1) I hate painting. 2) I suck at it. 3) 2-story foyer -- nm - oblique Jul 18, 09:07 13
    - we have a two story foyer too. it's still got the original horrible white. we need to hire someone for it too, but really don't know where to start - kare Jul 18, 09:09 2
      - I would assume that if the total job is more, that the first $125 would be with the deal and I just pay the rest - oblique Jul 18, 09:10 1
        
        you could present them with the groupon when you go to pay the bill? -- nm - kare Jul 18, 09:12
    - hire groiny. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 18, 09:09 7
      - I like to paint, not sure I would want to do a 2 story foyer though. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 18, 09:10 6
        
        (hijacking) i seriously have no idea how to go about it. i think we would have to rent a scaffolding if we did it ourselves. -- nm - kare Jul 18, 09:11 5

        really tall ladder. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 18, 09:18
        
        I am sure you could do that. - groiny Jul 18, 09:12
    - but you are a cheap bastard. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 18, 09:07 1
      - I'm situationally cheap. I bought a $70 SSD last night for my MythTV DVR to do an OS upgrade to CentOS 6 - oblique Jul 18, 09:09
STIS:Spotify, how does it work? You upload your files? - lileve Jul 18, 09:03 2
- You search for a song/album/artist and play it. That's it. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 18, 09:07
- No upload. It just has stuff and you stream it. -- nm - oblique Jul 18, 09:05

- people are crazy. my best friend calls my almost daily at work. despite years of me saying 'i can't talk, i'm at work.' -- nm - Andie Jul 18, 09:02
- I hate when people call me at work. I don't answer but it annoys me to have my leg vibrating. -- nm - RooRoo Jul 18, 08:59 4
  - I can't stand it. just call me at my desk if you have an emergency. -- nm - the endless summer of smamanda jones Jul 18, 09:06
  - You sure you're Lil Pip? - Will Hunting Jul 18, 09:02 1
    - O.o why wouldn't I be lilpip? >.> I has crazy vibrating legs. -- nm - RooRoo Jul 18, 09:03

Really? Stripper pumps are appropriate at the office? Really? -- nm - Capstern Jul 18, 08:52 17
- With or without landing lights? -- nm - Spawn Jul 18, 09:01
- If you are talking about these -they are wildly popular in fashion these days - Pippy Jul 18, 08:56 [Image] 1
  - Well maybe a stripper is her night job and she didn't have much time to change today :D -- nm - RooRoo Jul 18, 09:02
- Don't get me started on curmudgeonly opinions about female office attire. - TFox Jul 18, 08:54 12
  - it is *never* okay to wear sweats to work. I don't care if it's casual friday. it's not *that* casual. -- nm - the endless summer of smamanda jones Jul 18, 09:07 3
    - agreed. Casual Friday isn't Dress like the Homeless Day. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 18, 09:12
    - i like looking nice at work. even at my old job that i really COULD have worn anything i liked (i was alone there half the time), i never wore sweats - Andie Jul 18, 09:10
    - I would just like to wear shorts to work. - groiny Jul 18, 09:08
  - I'm in flip-flops just about all summer. But then again, I'm not client-facing. -- nm - Diva Jul 18, 08:59
  - I have on (one) flip flop and a tee shirt. I'm miles ahead of stretchy pants and crocs lady. -- nm - Amy Jul 18, 08:57
  - my last job we had dress-up fridays. one day a gal wore a hockey jersey, and shoes, and... well probably underwear. but that's it. - kare Jul 18, 08:57
  - heh. -- (link) - Diva Jul 18, 08:56 4
    - the little slot for tips is cracking me up!! -- nm - Epiphany - fat, dumb brunette hen Jul 18, 09:01 3

- i get some anxiety taking public transportation to places i haven't been before. i power through, but i can see where some people might not. - kare Jul 18, 09:06 2
  - this is just weird to me. i can understand not wanting to travel somewhere new and foreign alone for some people, but just a train (or bus or - Andie Jul 18, 09:15 1
    - *shrug* guess i'm weird. might just be a familiarity thing. public transportation has never been all that predominant, or user-friendly, in this area - kare Jul 18, 09:25
- Clearly, something else came up. -- nm - Amy Jul 18, 09:03
- She's from LA, right? ;) -- nm - con_carne Jul 18, 09:03
- I hate watching movies by myself and going to restaurants by myself. But the train doesn't bother me as long as I have something to read and my iPod. - sycor Jul 18, 08:57
- Well, she got kinda shafted by everyone else, no? - Mop (197 lbs) Jul 18, 08:54 10
  - [deleted] 9
    - I'd rather travel alone and then meet up. -- nm - CQ Jul 18, 09:01
    - maybe she doesn't feel safe riding it alone. some people are like that. -- nm - sycor Jul 18, 08:58 2
      - the train??? -- nm - Andie Jul 18, 09:03 1
        
        I'm not saying it's normal. but I can see it. -- nm - sycor Jul 18, 09:04
    - unless she needed people to split the cab fare to the racetrack with her... -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 08:56 4
      - [deleted] 3
        
        Maybe she's feeling sort of abandoned by her original group. It's not something that would stop me if I wanted to go and knew there'd be others - Diva Jul 18, 09:01 1
        
        i'd feel mostly annoyed at the last person to bail. if it was just me and one friend taking the train then they said 'oh sorry, i'm going in the car, - Andie Jul 18, 09:04
        
        yeah - znufrii Jul 18, 08:59

- weird - I mean it's the track - I wouldn't like to ride the train by myself but I'd do it for the ponies -- nm - Epiphany - fat, dumb brunette hen Jul 18, 08:50
- From NYC to Saratoga? She doesn't have, like, one album to listen to? -- nm - TFox Jul 18, 08:47
- yeah, I really don't get it either. -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 08:47
- Same story for people that refuse to go see movies by themselves, eat by themselves in a restaurant, etc. -- nm - oblique Jul 18, 08:47
ST poll: oldie but a goodie - when is the last time you nubbied something? - meaning: just didnt' show up, didn't go or blew off... - Pippy Jul 18, 08:44 9
- I nubbied a fishing trip last Monday. I fish all the time and didn't want to pay to go fishing. I still got filets from them anyway :) -- nm - CQ Jul 18, 09:00
- I nubbed off a family function, bbq I think. I didn't feel like riding the LIRR for two hours. - Krusty Jul 18, 08:58 4

- Isn't this basically the same idea as Rhapsody/Napster/ZunePass? Heck, ZunePass seemed to go one notch higher and let you keep digital copies of X - oblique Jul 18, 08:40 2
  - *nods* I'm rather whelmed. Like, does the hype automatically make it great? -- nm - Don Homer Jul 18, 08:42 1
    - That being said, it will be excellent for my wife who samples music for her job at our church. Most of the time she was going to YouTube to look - oblique Jul 18, 08:44
- I'm not a fan of the interface. It's all playlists. If you like listening to albums as a whole, it does not accomodate you. -- nm - TFox Jul 18, 08:40 8
  - that's a Spotify Killer for me... - Mel Profit Jul 18, 08:47
  - I've only listened to albums. I'm too lazy to make playlists. -- nm - Amy Jul 18, 08:41 6
    - You "star" them to save them so you don't have to search again. -- nm - Amy Jul 18, 08:43 5
      - But when I star them, it adds the tracks to the starred playlist in reverse order. -- nm - TFox Jul 18, 08:46 4
        
        Mine are in order. -- nm - Amy Jul 18, 08:49 3
        
        Hm. Maybe my gripe is with the Android app then. -- nm - TFox Jul 18, 08:49 2
        
        Ah, I'm only using free. -- nm - Amy Jul 18, 08:50 1
        
        I may cancel and downgrade to free soon. It's cool but not necessarily $10/month cool. Yet. - TFox Jul 18, 08:52
