So was watching 1000 Ways to Die last night. And I discovered what has to be the worst way ever to go: Fatal Familial Insomnia - Jovian Aug 25, 08:54 2
- Did you have trouble falling asleep after that? - oblique Aug 25, 08:55 1

Vamps: Baron, Alex Foley, Redmond x 3, Samara -- nm - budice Aug 25, 08:48 2
- Redmond, depending on who you are looking at when it comes your three. I might like to trade up to your 3rd of these three. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 25, 08:57 1
  - oh, hey, I have a question related to your particular expertise - Reagen Aug 25, 08:58

Another recent pump-up-the-volume song for me - Higher Ground. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 25, 08:47
Ok this will be a little long and maybe a little overshare but you can delve into how I think - Capstern Aug 25, 08:46 55
- Write her a check for $9600 and be done. Don't get into a voluntary monthly arrangement. Send her on her way and let her be responsible for herself - oblique Aug 25, 09:00 1
  - If I could I would - not quite that financially flexible -- nm - Capstern Aug 25, 09:02
- Damn, I'm just catching up. You mention issues of "trust". Did she cheat? - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 25, 08:58
- I'm not saying your wrong, but the one thing that jumped at me as I read this was that it sounded like a father taking about his daughter. - ty97 Aug 25, 08:55 3
  - Or... - Stephen Aug 25, 09:10

  - ah, the poison pill strategy pays off yet again. -- nm - Bank of America si Aug 25, 08:55
- (They don't do the first and last months rent thing here anymore. It's just first and sec deposit, I think.) -- nm - con_carne Aug 25, 08:53
- I see what you are saying, but there's a mixed message there. Independence isn't just good times, it includes responsibility. - Roger More Aug 25, 08:51 2

  - this. -- nm - Remlik Aug 25, 08:55
- I can understand this -- nm - ceregon Aug 25, 08:50 1
  - *loses my mind* nm -- nm - groiny Aug 25, 08:51
- IMO, alimony should be a dead concept (but absolutely not so with child support, obvie). I can see your motivation for wanting to help, though. - Beryllium Aug 25, 08:50
- *nods* -- nm - znufrii Aug 25, 08:49

  - I figured the women would sorta get me the guys not so much - Capstern Aug 25, 08:53 9
    - 1.) She is not going to be your wife. and b.) you are rewarding her for repeatedly lying to you. -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 25, 08:56 2
      - What I would do is not do alimony. Don't set that up as it may never go away. If he wants to help her after the divorce, he CAN if he wants. - Bacon @Home Aug 25, 08:58 1
        
        I am setting it up for a year and then it goes away. Its part of the decree -- nm - Capstern Aug 25, 09:00
    - I sent my ex $1200 bucks 7 months after we were divorced because she was about to be evicted. - Bacon @Home Aug 25, 08:56 3
      - Regarding the IM - any voluntary alimony should have some sort of escape clause relating to that -- nm - Beryllium Aug 25, 08:57
      - right, you let her find for herself, and when she could not, you "helped" - groiny Aug 25, 08:56 1
        
        Yeah read my post above. -- nm - Bacon @Home Aug 25, 08:59
    - sounds to me like you are casting stones in glass houses. - groiny Aug 25, 08:54 1
      - Yes she knows mary. She knows shes my friend. Would send pics from stuff we were always doing with freinds in groups of people - Capstern Aug 25, 08:59
  - i have to say, i don't 100% think he's off base here. -- nm - Andie Aug 25, 08:48 22
    - Me neither. I would probably do the same. -- nm - pmb Aug 25, 08:52
    - he was not leasing her with an option to buy. - groiny Aug 25, 08:49 20
      - I uh, yeah, I agree with groiny. - Stephen Aug 25, 09:06
      - (this is hysterical, groin.) -- nm - amanda "late sleeper" jones Aug 25, 08:55
      - But she was also just 19. - pmb Aug 25, 08:54 6
        
        She's not 19 now and she's got a profile on a swinger site, news that surprised her husband. - David Aug 25, 09:06
        
        ding -- nm - Capstern Aug 25, 09:01 1
        
        no DING. - groiny Aug 25, 09:01
        
        By that logic, if he continues to care for her, she still won't mature, and that's bad also -- nm - con_carne Aug 25, 08:59 1
        
        I am going to ease her in the wild quickly not push her off the truck -- nm - Capstern Aug 25, 09:04
        
        if you let her start frm square one, with no debt, fine. - groiny Aug 25, 08:56
      - oh, i fully agree with the IM. but, if Cappy enabled her to live a life where he didn't, in any way, encourage her to - Andie Aug 25, 08:51 10
        
        Thanks and thats what this is. I tried a little to push her but well i own it felt safer to have her rely on me - Capstern Aug 25, 08:55
        
        she takes the car debt, cool. She takes one card debt, cool. You fund her for the next 12 months... - groiny Aug 25, 08:53 7
        
        He's not talking a huge amount of money here. Just helping her transition some. Honestly I totally get it. -- nm - pmb Aug 25, 08:57 2
        
        to someone who doesn't make a ton of money $300 per month is a lot. hell, I'd love an extra $300 per month now and I make more than a nanny. - amanda "late sleeper" jones Aug 25, 08:59 1
        
        Nannies in seattle can make 20-25 an hour - but ok 300 to me isnt a lot - to her huge -- nm - Capstern Aug 25, 09:09
        
        I think he says she's taking the *car,* not the *car debt.* (I'd sell that shit. no nanny needs a $40k car unless her employer provides it.) - amanda "late sleeper" jones Aug 25, 08:54 3
        
        i don't think she CAN take the car debt. there's no way she could make those payments, rent a place, and eat on what she makes. -- nm - Andie Aug 25, 08:55 2
        
        so sell the shit. (unless he's underwater on it. like he was several years ago. remember?) - amanda "late sleeper" jones Aug 25, 08:56 1
        
        oh, i'd sell in a heartbeat if it's not. -- nm - Andie Aug 25, 08:58

  - Yeah, Michael is exiting this conversation. -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 25, 08:48
My friend's pit bull likes me now. When the husky growls at me, she puts herself between us and growls back. - ceregon Aug 25, 08:40 11
- What does it do when you orgasm? -- nm - oblique Aug 25, 08:40 10
  - Well since I've never had one at my friend's house, I have no idea. And there is no way I would let either of these dogs in my bed. - ceregon Aug 25, 08:43 8
    - Smart move. Those are both strong breeds, they could totally take you in a BJJ fight. :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 25, 08:44 3
      - heh -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 25, 08:45
      - (Now I'm picturing a dog doing JuJitsu. Scooby-Doo, where are you?) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 25, 08:45 1
        
        Dogs like to play fight, even my corgi does it. But he's goofy about it and has a cute fake growl, the two hellions OTOH - ceregon Aug 25, 08:49
    - you do know that you could be on top? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 25, 08:44 3
      - Sorry, I'll leave mounting animals to you. -- nm - ceregon Aug 25, 08:46 2

        Oh, SNAP. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 25, 08:47

Seen on Twitter: "Steve Jobs' text was meant to say: 'I reign as CEO of Apple.' Damn you autocorrect!" -- nm - mara Aug 25, 08:40 1

one on one with Kerry Collins... -- (link) - Remlik Aug 25, 08:39
When you grow up on the prairies, you kind of get blase about big storm - Reagen Aug 25, 08:39 4
- She's right. The movies have taught us that something is going to fly into the house and behead somebody. -- nm - con_carne Aug 25, 08:46 1
  - Yeah, movies almost never feature internal decapitation, just the external kind. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 25, 08:53
- *shrug* Here on the coast, when the winds get over 100, I really wish I was out by the shore watching the waves. - Beryllium Aug 25, 08:43
- Yep. I'm one of these idiots who watches it come in. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 25, 08:42
Well, it's snopes, so it's settled, right? ;-) Sagging pants may not have originated the way you heard. - con_carne Aug 25, 08:39 2
- Without taking a position either way -- nm - Stephen Aug 25, 08:55
- (Jeez, snopes has popup ads something wicked. Sorries.) -- nm - con_carne Aug 25, 08:44
Irene is going to be a major PITA for us this weekend; I'm bringing SheFox and the boys home from upstate New York. - TFox Aug 25, 08:38 3
- Early. -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 25, 08:40 2
  - I'm virtually certain that this is what we'll do, the more I watch the forecasts. -- nm - TFox Aug 25, 08:42 1
    - Seriously. Get home and get safe before the end of the world. - The Ruiner Aug 25, 08:42
Poll: Chick flick from the past 5 years my wife might want to see that I couldn't care less, either way? -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 25, 08:37 11
- No Strings Attached. -- nm - Shaun Aug 25, 08:45
- Would Crazy Stupid Love count? -- nm - oblique Aug 25, 08:39 3
  - That'll probably make the list. But I'm looking for stuff to get at the library right now. - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 25, 08:44 2
    - Time Traveller's Wife? Definitely, Maybe (the movie). Feast of Love. Good Luck Chuck -- nm - oblique Aug 25, 08:50 1
      - Avoid TTW. Atrocious adaptation imo. -- nm - Shaun Aug 25, 08:51
- The Switch wasn't bad -- nm - Bacon @Home Aug 25, 08:38
- She's Out of My League. -- nm - Shaun Aug 25, 08:38 3
  - Excellent. Top of the list. Thanks. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 25, 08:41
  - I actually liked this. I wouldn't lump it into the complete chick flick category -- nm - MDH Aug 25, 08:40 1
    - It's a guy's fantasy movie, not a chick flick. -- nm - Roger More Aug 25, 08:41
- Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 25, 08:38
Hey, I got an un-friend notification on Facebook. "(name) is no longer on your friend list". I thought you could un-friend someone anonymously. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 25, 08:37 2
- They *wanted* you to know. - The Ruiner Aug 25, 08:39
- Sure it's not spam/virus? -- nm - ty97 Aug 25, 08:37
Trailer for Locke and Key tv show.... -- (link) - Remlik Aug 25, 08:35 1

BUDICE!!!!!!!!!!! Your up....Still -- nm - Bacon @Home Aug 25, 08:34 1
- You're up too -- nm - Bacon @Home Aug 25, 08:34
Cap, jesus christ, you should not be concerned with that shit anymore. - groiny Aug 25, 08:34 15
- As I said, it is clear why she wants to stay friends, now. -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 25, 08:37 5
  - She never asked for this and the friendship and closeness was all before I decided this - Capstern Aug 25, 08:48
  - well, it sure helps. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 25, 08:37 3
    - I'll be friends with cappy for $9600 a year -- nm - oblique Aug 25, 08:38 2
      - *this* -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 25, 08:38 1
        
        hell, even I'd be friends with cappie for $9600/year. - amanda "late sleeper" jones Aug 25, 08:40
- You need a lawyer. They are absent of all feelings and caring. -- nm - Bacon @Home Aug 25, 08:36 6
  - this.this.this.this. split the debt and DO NOT give her money. she's a big girl. -- nm - Remlik Aug 25, 08:40 5
    - I would actually share the debt pro rata by salary. but I'm nice like that. -- nm - amanda "late sleeper" jones Aug 25, 08:44 4
      - I could see that. unless the debt was for her car, clothes, jewlery and stuff for her. -- nm - Remlik Aug 25, 08:48
      - i'd actually try to figure out who incurred what debt. -- nm - Andie Aug 25, 08:46 1
        
        I kind of feel like that only matters if one partner vastly outspends the other or is dishonest about it. - amanda "late sleeper" jones Aug 25, 08:51
      - He gets to keep 80% of both Audis? -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 25, 08:45
- that is min 7200 and max 9600 bucks for nothing you are handing away. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 25, 08:35 1
  - Would just be a yaer -- nm - Capstern Aug 25, 08:46
Gene Simmons is 62 today and Rob Halford is 60 -- nm - Remlik Aug 25, 08:34
That's five more words than I was ever able to make out from "NWO" -- nm - con_carne Aug 25, 08:31 4
- And I'm surprised that it wasn't the Bush Sr. clips that stood out the most... - Stephen Aug 25, 08:47 1
  - Well, his voice is in the song, sampled. -- nm - con_carne Aug 25, 08:48
- Yup. I was really confused why I could not figure it out. - The Ruiner Aug 25, 08:33 1
  - But it's got me on a Ministry kick so that's good. - Mel Profit Aug 25, 08:38
WTF? - groiny Aug 25, 08:29 2
- I reserve the right to change my mind! I will not be ignored, Dan! -- nm - Irene Aug 25, 08:30 1
  - Irene wants to live in Groiny's basement>? -- nm - Bacon @Home Aug 25, 08:31
DRAFT!!! -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 25, 08:26 24
- Currently on the clock: DH, Budice, JF -- nm - David Aug 25, 08:30
- [deleted] 21
  - Uh, not judging by your draft so far. -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 25, 08:34 20
    - [deleted] 19
      - I like your strategy of drafting guys I threw back. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 25, 08:44 1
        
        [deleted]
      - Two words: Keeper League. - The Ruiner Aug 25, 08:38 16
        
        And wait, you drafted a D in the third round, so you really have no ground to stand on. -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 25, 08:41 11
        
        [deleted] 8
        
        Did you see my TE choices? -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 25, 08:46 7
        
        You should have kept your Kicker! -- nm - Al Davis si Aug 25, 08:52
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        *shrug* I chose the best available keeper for the slot. A defense in the third round? You *chose* to fill a D slot and not a flex position. -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 25, 08:50 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Remind me again, how did your team do last year? - The Ruiner Aug 25, 08:59
        
        Not all keeper slots are created equal. I'd say your first round pick and probably your second are worth way more than your TE/K/DEF keeper. -- nm - TFox Aug 25, 08:49 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        I don't even have to be ML to answer that he thinks his team is so good he can start drafting DEF now - oblique Aug 25, 08:42 1
        
        *Third* round. -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 25, 08:43
        
        I took that chance with Ryan Mathews and CJ Spiller. Both of them sucked too much to keep. - David Aug 25, 08:40 3
        
        You chose... poorly. -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 25, 08:41 2
        
        At least those guys were good in college. Your guy can't even claim that. -- nm - David Aug 25, 08:47 1
        
        Well, this is the league where I took some rookies by the name of Gates and Addai. We will see. - The Ruiner Aug 25, 08:54
- I will leave my ruining for pixie's team and on the field -- nm - oblique Aug 25, 08:28
