- We'll take care of it. If you have guidelines you want, just email them to me. -- nm - David Aug 23, 09:25 1
  - ok, I will try to see if I have any. - tRuMaN Aug 23, 09:33
Poll: Which would you find easier to figive and forget....infidelity or lying (serious lying not little stuff)? - Capstern Aug 23, 09:20 43
- Depends on the lie, but in general, infidelity is waaaaaaaaaaay worse. - musubi Aug 23, 09:36 3
  - Yeah, it would need to be some sort of Don Draper/Dick Whitman scale lie for me to change my opinion. - Roger More Aug 23, 09:40 2
    - I suppose, but again, that'd depend on the severity of the lie. - musubi Aug 23, 09:45
    - Something like a criminal past. -- nm - loosilu Aug 23, 09:41
- My only serious relationship ended as a result of both. The lying was worse IMO. -- nm - MDH Aug 23, 09:30 1
  - I think thats me as well. Lying is something you can never forget ever. I - Capstern Aug 23, 09:33
- lying. one time forgive. never on infidelity. -- nm - Remlik Aug 23, 09:29
- Infidelity, possibly. - Dr.Johnny Vermin Aug 23, 09:28
- they're both essentially parts of the same thing. -- nm - znufrii Aug 23, 09:25
- Lying. Cheating ends it all. -- nm - Krusty Aug 23, 09:23 4
  - Read example below and see what you think - talking to my friend the lying seems almost worst - Capstern Aug 23, 09:26 3
    - I could get over that. I don't think I could forgive someone that cheated. -- nm - Krusty Aug 23, 09:28 2
      - I missed the swingers part but as long as they're not fooling around I could get over the lying. - Krusty Aug 23, 09:30 1
        
        you are truly a forgiving soul -- nm - Capstern Aug 23, 09:34
- one lie, or 'lying' ? -- nm - Andie Aug 23, 09:22 28
  - here was my friends situation.... - Capstern Aug 23, 09:23 27
    - I want to point out, you are *terrible* at distributing pertinant info about your question. (nm) - musubi Aug 23, 09:41 2
      - I agree with bubers. -- nm - amanda Aug 23, 09:43 1
        
        It's like, off the charts, how incomplete the info given was. (nm) - musubi Aug 23, 09:46
    - Infidelity would be way worse, to me. -- nm - loosilu Aug 23, 09:28
    - I'd find that a lot easier to forgive than cheating. If my wife did that, I'd be wondering why she didn't feel she could trust me with this info. -- nm - Roger More Aug 23, 09:25 22
      - added part .... - Capstern Aug 23, 09:27 21
        
        so... - znufrii Aug 23, 09:31 11
        
        yeah I kind of went cockeyed at him too....I am very unforgiving. If you are with me 2 rules no lying no cheating - period -- nm - Capstern Aug 23, 09:35
        
        She maintains a website because she wants attention from people whose lifestyle she doesn't want to share. see? -- nm - loosilu Aug 23, 09:33 9
        
        Yeah, that's nonsense. (nm) - musubi Aug 23, 09:37
        
        Oh I can see how having people lust at you could make you feel good about yourself..err sorta -- nm - Capstern Aug 23, 09:35 2
        
        What if she put out an ad for just guys, then spent time with the guys and lied about it. - loosilu Aug 23, 09:37 1
        
        I didnt say I would believe that :) Its funy I could forgive cheating on me with a girl but not with a guy - and not sure why -- nm - Capstern Aug 23, 09:43
        
        there's that, too... -- nm - znufrii Aug 23, 09:34 4
        
        So to sum up, she has a website to attract swingers. She spends time with the swingers and lies about it. And she says she hasn't been unfaithful. -- nm - loosilu Aug 23, 09:35 3
        
        sounds like a *fantastic* situation. -- nm - znufrii Aug 23, 09:36 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I doubt anything you would have to add here would be actually relevant to the point at hand. - znufrii Aug 23, 09:44
        
        well, she's clearly lying about most of that. -- nm - loosilu Aug 23, 09:29
        
        So there's already infidelity. What's the issue? -- nm - amanda Aug 23, 09:28 7
        
        Well he believes she DIDNT physically cheat or have sex soooo - Capstern Aug 23, 09:31 6
        
        She's banging other dudes!! With his permission!! -- nm - amanda Aug 23, 09:34 2
        
        no, it's the *other* couple who are the swingers, I think... -- nm - znufrii Aug 23, 09:36 1
        
        yes the friends are lifestyle people. She is close friends with the life but not part of the LS - very complicated - made my head hurt - Capstern Aug 23, 09:49
        
        right... - znufrii Aug 23, 09:34 1
        
        my thought as well - i call that emotional infidelity and to me its almost worse. I told him that - Capstern Aug 23, 09:50
        
        does he also believe Bill Clinton didn't inhale? -- nm - loosilu Aug 23, 09:32

  - I'm not sure I see this year's college freshmen quoting Seinfeld. -- nm - Roger More Aug 23, 09:10 5
    - The way I took it was, it's not quoting Seinfeld, it's now common speech. -- nm - MDH Aug 23, 09:11 4
      - do they actually say "yadda yadda yadda" though? (honest question - to me, it's a 90s thing that passed) -- nm - Roger More Aug 23, 09:13 3
        
        Seinfeld did not invent that expression. -- nm - Reagen Aug 23, 09:16 2
        
        regardless, do 18-year olds say it? - Roger More Aug 23, 09:24

      - And Freeman's play. -- (link) - David Aug 23, 09:16 [youtube] 1
        
        ok, THAT is fantastic. The Bourn one is not as impressive as the OP link, though. :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 09:20
  - And Freddie Freeman made a better overall play on a catch like that since he also threw out a runner at home. -- nm - David Aug 23, 09:10

Odd, urgent question: Does anyone know of a website of Iphone app that can simulate the sound of breaking glass? - ty97 Aug 23, 08:55 11
- Can you set MP3s (and trim them) as ringtones? Just use the first three seconds of 'You May Be Right'. -- (link) - Billy Vermin Aug 23, 09:35 [youtube]
- try searching for "sound effects" -- nm - con_carne Aug 23, 09:10
- I don't understand what the difference is. -- nm - TFox Aug 23, 08:58 8
  - Think about a ringtone that sounds like breaking glass -- those often sound rather fake, right? I need the real thing. - ty97 Aug 23, 08:59 7
    - Googling "really super good and authentic breaking glass sound" was only marginally helpful. - TFox Aug 23, 09:03
    - I wonder who this personalised ringtone is going to indicate -- nm - Roger More Aug 23, 09:03
    - Sounds kind of subjective to me. What I think is an accurate sound, you might not. So you'd just need to listen to as many as possible and choose the - mara Aug 23, 09:01
