- "While that sounds like a sound bite, it's also an important question" made me laugh and ponder creating a new language construct. - Beryllium Oct 13, 08:36
I gotta say that my stomach seriously turned a number of times during the challenge on Survivor last night -- nm - prayformojo Oct 13, 08:24 16
- Carrie stopped watching. I had to tell her when it was over. That was grosser that any gross food challenge. -- nm - Jim Oct 13, 08:25 15

    - See? That didn't bother me too much. Like Coach said (spoils) - Jim Oct 13, 08:27 2
      - speaking of Coach...spoiler - prayformojo Oct 13, 08:27 1

        No, was just wondering if anyone was and they had to do that challenge. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 13, 08:47

ok, so it takes 7 years to fix a bad credit score, how long does a bankrputcy or foreclosure stay on your credit? - groiny Oct 13, 08:23 4
- Looks like 10 years. -- (link) - mara Oct 13, 08:30
- Last time I checked Bankruptcy was 10 years - but that might just be for house buying consideration -- nm - Capstern (11 Days) Oct 13, 08:26
- I don't believe it ever "drops off." I just believe the 7-year concept is what's factored into your credit score. - JaxSean Oct 13, 08:26
- pretty sure it's 7 years -- nm - Jim Oct 13, 08:23

damn, only for Americans - Free Jello "Brain" mold for Halloween. - Andie Oct 13, 08:04 8
- This would be great for one of those dairy-based gelatin desserts - con_carne Oct 13, 08:10 1
  - Just make jello and add some dairy. Works like a charm. That's a good mold -- it's the full brain. - loosilu Oct 13, 08:16
- And probably too late for one of us to order it and re-ship to you. -- nm - MojaveMeg Oct 13, 08:08

  - no you don't. (you do? because that is hilarious.) -- nm - TFox Oct 13, 08:00 1
