- I don't really buy him as an actor. - ty97 Aug 4, 07:46 9
  - agreed. He's not horrible in anything I've seen him in but he's barely adequate most of the time. - Mel Profit Aug 4, 07:53 3
    - This -- nm - con_carne Aug 4, 07:55
    - I think he is fun in certain roles because he is Justin Timberlake. As long as he doesn't try heavy duty Daniel D-L material and sticks to light stuff - loosilu Aug 4, 07:54 1
      - That's no way to develop as an actor though. - con_carne Aug 4, 07:55

    - he was pretty good in that skateboarding movie, actually. -- nm - 11 more days of amanda jones Aug 4, 07:52
    - agreed. He's fun in the right role. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 07:49
    - Haven't seen it, so can't opine on that role. -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 07:49

Unfortunate promotional timing. Just saw a commercial for Jennie-O turkey burgers - "the healthier burger alternative" -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 4, 07:41 2
- "Salmonella, when you just can't lose that last 25 pounds" -- nm - Beaker Aug 4, 07:42

- Who in the hell are you? - amoxy Aug 4, 07:20 1
  - Excellent question. Who are any of us, really? - Chest Rockwell Aug 4, 07:23
Way to show up this week, Chicago White Sox - prayformojo Aug 4, 07:18 13
- [deleted] 1
  - can he pitch? - groiny Aug 4, 07:27
- They are infuriating me. They always wet themselves when they have to play the Red Sox and Yankees. (nm) -- nm - Chest Rockwell Aug 4, 07:22 7
  - and Twins, and Tigers, and Royals. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 07:22 6
    - Twins, yes. But when they won the series against the Tigers and Injuns, I thought thigs might be going in the right direction. I was mistaken. -- nm - Chest Rockwell Aug 4, 07:25 5
      - this stretch against the Red Sox and Yanks was going to be a tough one.... - groiny Aug 4, 07:27 4
        
        Agree, but 1-5 was disappointing. And they got spanked, too. When you give up 4 in the top of the 1st , it's a long night. -- nm - Chest Rockwell Aug 4, 07:29 3
        
        they were +1 on run differential last week, they are now like -25. - groiny Aug 4, 07:33 2
        
        Ugh. It would be easy to blame it on Konerko being out, but that's too easy. He's a big piece, but he's one guy. -- nm - Chest Rockwell Aug 4, 07:42 1
        
        there is plenty of blame to go around, none of it on Pauly and Q. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 07:43
- yeah, we finally score some runs in a game, but give up 18. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 07:19 2
  - Cracks me up that Burnett didn't even last long enough to get the win -- nm - prayformojo Aug 4, 07:21

Bed Bath & Beyond: The inability to use your website to determine if a product is available at my store is infuriating and ludditious. -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 07:06 4
- their site sucks. Checkign inventory is awesome when you have multiple locations nearby. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 07:08
- Worse, when they say they have it and they don't. -- nm - Amy Aug 4, 07:07
- someone got a word-of-the-day calendar -- nm - Beaker Aug 4, 07:07 1
  - spoiler: I'm not sure it's a real word. (I just made Luddite into and adjective) -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 07:17
Haha. Recalls.gov has an Android App. That's awesome -- (link) - ty97 Aug 4, 07:04 1
- What happens if all Android-based phones get recalled? -- nm - nubby Aug 4, 07:26
hey Hunting...... - groiny Aug 4, 06:59 8
- Hey groiny... - lileve Aug 4, 07:19 1
  - not a problem. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 07:21
- Sure...I'm starting to look into them now. - Will Hunting Aug 4, 07:02 5
  - yes, thanks. - groiny Aug 4, 07:03 4
    - What do you play? - Will Hunting Aug 4, 07:06 3
      - I am in experiment mode right now. - groiny Aug 4, 07:09 2
        
        I like the Gamer...it's a tad more $, but feels good. - Will Hunting Aug 4, 07:15 1
        
        yeah, those top flites are like hitting rocks. - groiny Aug 4, 07:16
My word of the day that looked really weird but was spelled correctly -- Fossil. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 06:58
ST Salmonella Poll -- do you have an instant-read thermometer in your kitchen? - znufrii Aug 4, 06:53 9
- No idea what "instant read" is, but i do have a thermometer and use it regularly - TWuG Aug 4, 07:18
- nah, i just cook everything until it's dried up and lifeless. -- nm - colin Aug 4, 07:10 1
  - *cooks Lindsay Lohan* nm -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 07:10
- yep -- nm - decline Aug 4, 06:57
- ewww Salmonella..... - groiny Aug 4, 06:57
- I have a digital thermometer but it is not instant read. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 06:54 1
  - (and I always use it when cooking poultry because I'm paranoid) -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 06:54
- nope -- nm - Andie Aug 4, 06:54
- I do!!! sash brought me one when she visited -- it's the same color as my walls! -- nm - 11 more days of amanda jones Aug 4, 06:54
The ground turkey recall is here! I had to throw some out this morning. -- (link) - loosilu Aug 4, 06:48 30
- wait, if you had the correct lot number, wouldn't you get a refund if you took it back? -- nm - 11 more days of amanda jones Aug 4, 06:54 27
  - Our crib got recalled after 3 years of use. We took it to Walmart, no paperwork, and got $300. -- nm - Amy Aug 4, 07:00 3
    - We scored similarly when Connor's crib was recalled with Target! -- nm - Stephen Aug 4, 07:15
    - did logan totally not need it anymore? that's a score. -- nm - 11 more days of amanda jones Aug 4, 07:02 1
      - He did not. And, it was part of a set (all in one box) and we kept the changing table and the dresser. -- nm - Amy Aug 4, 07:03
  - I have never taken recalled food for a refund. didn't occur to me. I figured the recall was for stores. - loosilu Aug 4, 06:56 22
    - Store refunds you, manufacturer refunds store, I'd presume. Retail in reverse. -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 06:57 21
      - wouldn't the store want proof of purchase? -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 06:58 20
        
        If you brought a Wal-Mart package of meat to Kroger, perhaps. But stores know their own packages pretty well. - ty97 Aug 4, 07:01 11
        
        I only buy Shady Brook farms turkey, which is sold in a lot of places. anyway, I'm not gonna drive raw turkey around all day. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 07:03 10
        
        note -- only SB farms turkey *burgers* were recalled. -- nm - 11 more days of amanda jones Aug 4, 07:37 1
        
        yes, I am aware. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 07:43
        
        we're all just deeply concerned about the three lousy bucks you've lost!....nm - x Aug 4, 07:10 7
        
        I just think it's worth a try. what's five minutes for $3? do I want to make $60/hr? yes, I do. -- nm - 11 more days of amanda jones Aug 4, 07:36 5
        
        and she doesn't. and thus ends our discussion....nm - x Aug 4, 07:55
        
        and math is hard $36 an hour. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 07:44
        
        next time I have 20 packages of dirty turkey, I'll keep that in mind. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 07:43 2
        
        sorry, bad math. $15/hr. (I work in finance, people. no reason to get alarmed!) -- nm - 11 more days of amanda jones Aug 4, 07:44 1
        
        try again (see above) -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 07:45
        
        At lunchtime, I'm goign to go outside tossing $20 bills on the sidewalk. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 07:11
        
        don't think so, they'll recover the cost from the manufacturer anyway - znufrii Aug 4, 06:59 7
        
        I could see them saying "But we never stocked that lot." Anyway, it's just a couple of bucks and not worth the hassle. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 06:59 6
        
        my thought -- I'm going back to the store anyway. may as well. also, if you pay with a card, they can always look it up by UPC against your card. - 11 more days of amanda jones Aug 4, 07:01 5
        
        Kroger autocalls you if you purchase a recalled item from them (if you scan your loyalty card). I always take it back. -- nm - Amy Aug 4, 07:05 3
        
        that's a *great* feature. -- nm - 11 more days of amanda jones Aug 4, 07:35
        
        (they took an open package back) -- nm - Amy Aug 4, 07:07
        
        I actually can't remember where I bought mine (I shop at Safeway, Giant, and Harris Teeter). no one called me though. - loosilu Aug 4, 07:06
        
        true. Well, if it was a lot of money (like a crib) I would do it, but for a $3 package of meat, probably not. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 07:02
- uh, you know you just need to cook it to 165+ degrees and it would be fine. -- nm - decline Aug 4, 06:51 1
  - I'm paranoid. it had freezer burn anyway, gave me an excuse. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 06:52

    - she definitely brings out her inner creepy. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 4, 06:58
  - I think it looks like a weak Scorpion King knockoff; which given that movie wasn't great.... -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 06:54 2
    - I'll never understand how they muffed that movie. - Mel Profit Aug 4, 06:57 1
      - My favorite part; the comic relief is Clooney's BFF / co-writer for Good Night and Good Luck -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 06:58
  - the first 5 minutes they released a week or so ago made me really want to see it -- nm - Beaker Aug 4, 06:53 4

- It's just seaweed extract in mineal oil and glycerin (the main ingrediants). You can get the Dove version for 13 bucks. -- nm - Amy Aug 4, 06:55
- "Crème de la Mer, the facial cream, cost $1,350 for 16 ounces at Bergdorf Goodman in 2008; it now costs $1,650." - ty97 Aug 4, 06:51 6
  - news reports say the ingredients are pretty cheap. -- (link) - loosilu Aug 4, 06:53 5
    - Wait. "Developed in the 1970s by NASA scientist James Huber and now owned by Estee Lauder" - ty97 Aug 4, 06:55 4
      - I assume they bought it. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 06:57 3
        
        Reading about it, it sounds like he may have invented it on his own, not on the job. (not totally clear though) -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 06:59 2
        
        hasn't NASA sold many inventions to private industry? -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 07:00 1
