The one flaw with Siri... - David Nov 3, 12:36 3
- last night we asked siri to find us the ABV of back in black IPA. she did. what?? -- nm - amanda Nov 3, 12:36 1

New poll finds GOP voters don't care too much about Cain allegations; he leads Romney 26-23% nationally... -- (link) - Don Homer Nov 3, 12:29 15
- Also, 24% of Florida Republicans believe the Republican party is intentionally weakening the economy in order to stop Obama's reelection (nmbl) - Brian Nov 3, 12:38
- A poll 2-3 days after it breaks, and the conclusion is "they don't care too much about the allegations" - Strongbad Nov 3, 12:34 1
  - 2-3 days is soooooo yesterday. Let's ask Kim Kardasian what she thinks! -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 12:36
- I'm not sure that's a fair conclusion. Several people I've spoken with are taken a 'wait for more details' approach to the claims. - ty97 Nov 3, 12:32 1
  - [deleted]
- Amazing considering how they felt about sexual harassment when it was Bill Clinton. -- nm - Jim Nov 3, 12:30 3
  - Not to mention they are suppose to be the party of "family values" -- nm - eag Nov 3, 12:35 1
    - [deleted]
  - It just hasn't reached the sordid level of cigars in the vajayjay yet. -- nm - Qale Nov 3, 12:32
- he likes women...just a little too much is all -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 12:29 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - Exactly. At this point, I'm sure Republicans are relieved when they find their own sex scandals involve people of *opposite* genders -- nm - con_carne Nov 3, 12:36
- *giggling* -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 3, 12:29 2
  - I giggle at the lamestream media doing everything they can to make it Romney vs Perry. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 3, 12:33 1
    - ... while Perry is barely hanging on in polls at this point (8%). -- nm - Don Homer Nov 3, 12:34
I sortof love this sweater -- (link) - ty97 Nov 3, 12:26 2
- you can find that cheaper. (nice). -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 12:29 1
  - Oh yeah. That's a clearance sale buy - ty97 Nov 3, 12:30
Apple loses tablet case against small Spanish firm -- (link) - Beaker Nov 3, 12:22
Unless I go to the bank daily and deposit my tips and use my ATM card for everything, I don't think Mint is really doing me any good. -- nm - Qale Nov 3, 12:22
I found this while shopping for headphones -- (link) - con_carne Nov 3, 12:20

SM was laid off on Tuesday - so we are now more of the 99% than before. question about unemployment benefits... - Epiphany Nov 3, 12:05 43
- sorry :( -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 3, 12:31
- Drag. Chin up. - Dr.Vermin Nov 3, 12:26
- Ugh. Sorry to hear this Pip -- nm - Roger More Nov 3, 12:23
- i'm truly sorry to hear that. -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 12:21
- when i've had it, you report the part-time income and it normally reduces that period's benefits accordingly - stuffed pixie Nov 3, 12:21 1
  - this -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 12:21
- This link doesn't speak to specifics of staffing agencies, but makes it sounds like he's probably eligible. And there are phone numbers you can call - ty97 Nov 3, 12:20
- That is the suck, sorry. -- nm - Stephen Nov 3, 12:18
- ah jesus. very sorry to hear this. -- nm - Jovian Nov 3, 12:16
- that sucks. -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 12:15
- It totally depends on the state. In NY and VA I was told that temp jobs would not impact UI. more inside. - loosilu Nov 3, 12:14
- So sorry Pippy, that sucks -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 12:13
- :( -- nm - Tim Nov 3, 12:13
- I'm so sorry to hear this. In NY, you can work part time/temp jobs but it will lower how much you get from UE. - Krusty Nov 3, 12:12 17
  - note: Be very careful about this. I signed up at a temp agency and thereafter was cut off from UI. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 12:14 16
    - in my experience working and getting UI in NY, that shouldn't have mattered - znufrii Nov 3, 12:18 13
      - this was my experience in NY. -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 12:19
      - It shouldn't have, but I got cut off and so did two of my friends. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 12:19 11
        
        *shrug* -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 12:20 10
        
        we had been promised temp work wouldn't hurt us. then they turned around, and *chop*. It was in 2002. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 12:20 9
        
        but, how many days a week were you working? was it a mon-fri temp job? -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 12:24 8
        
        It was Monday to Friday, but I was spitting the hours with someone, so neither of us ever had 40. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 12:25 7
        
        so, it was the fact that you were working, not the fact that you signed up for a temp agency, which made you not get benefits. - znufrii Nov 3, 12:30 3
        
        Here's what they said. Because I was signed up at the agency, I would have to PROVE that I called the agency every day to inquire whether there was - loosilu Nov 3, 12:31 2
        
        nowadays, all you have to do is send in your resume to their online job bank, you don't have to prove you looked for sh!t. -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 12:32 1
        
        oh, that's exactly what we were told at the start. - loosilu Nov 3, 12:36
        
        (not that it should have mattered, we were promised a temp job wouldn't hurt our UI eligibility) -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 12:26 2
        
        i get that, but, if i'm working 36 hours a week at a temp job, i really don't think i should be getting my UI money on top of that. - Andie Nov 3, 12:28 1
        
        I didn't. I mean, when that job ended, I was no longer eligible for UI, even though they promised I would be. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 12:29
    - Yes. Each state is different and working any job may cause the benefits to be cut off. - Krusty Nov 3, 12:17 1
      - That was in NY. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 12:18
- [deleted]
- jeebus pippy. Sorry about this. Hopefully someone will have some answers for you. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 3, 12:11
- sorry for this. -- nm - decline Nov 3, 12:10
- I don't know any of the answers but I'm terribly sorry for your family's bad luck. -- nm - David Nov 3, 12:10
- If he gets a job, and if it is temp from the agency, he will have to declare it on his unemployment form - amoxy Nov 3, 12:10
- Sorry to hear about this, Pippy -- nm - prayformojo Nov 3, 12:10
- sorry about this. -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 12:09
- Crap. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 12:09
- It's state specific really - Brian Nov 3, 12:08
- I don't know the answer to your questions, but sorry to hear about the bad luck. :( -- nm - sycor Nov 3, 12:08
- Very sorry to hear that, pip. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 3, 12:05 1
  - word -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 12:09
Colin reminded me that I saw (heard?) an awesome youtube video earlier this year that was really just audio of a (fake) conference call covering all - ty97 Nov 3, 12:03
Holy crap, Znu! - Dr.Johnny Vermin Nov 3, 12:03 12
- *how* did you not see that? -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 12:05 11
  - It's been a long time... - Dr.Johnny Vermin Nov 3, 12:06 10
    - play me! firstname+last initial -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 12:16 8
      - I'm not finding you via the member search. Look for docvermin -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 3, 12:24 5
        
        huh, not finding you. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 12:27 4
        
        We're both on the same site, right? :) - Dr.Vermin Nov 3, 12:30 3
        
        didyou defriend me on FB? can't find you in my list of FB friends or my contact list. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 12:37 2
        
        He's talking about chess and you're talking about WWF. - Krusty Nov 3, 12:38 1
        
        OHFER!!! thanks Krusty. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 12:43
      - "the red fox identifies a weak member of the herd and attempts to draw it out into striking range..." -- nm - Nature Show VO Nov 3, 12:18 1
        
        heh-heh... -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 12:23
    - It's all coming back, it's all coming back to you now. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 12:08
the only difference between Cam Newton and Tim Tebow is that one quarterback plays in a system that perfectly suits his style, talents and development -- (link) - Beaker Nov 3, 12:03 3
- Well, that and the ability to hit an open receiver. The pass he threw that took a naked WR out of the endzone is unforgivable inaccuracy. -- nm - David Nov 3, 12:12 2
  - true, and I am far from an expert, but could that have to do with their system? The number of looks and reads he has to go through - Beaker Nov 3, 12:18 1
    - Tebow is the same guy he has always been, a mythic competitor with a strong but wildly inaccurate arm. - David Nov 3, 12:25
I can't wait to get home, let it get dark, drag Diva to the couch and watch AHS. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 3, 12:02 4
- I know! I can't wait to get dragged! -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 12:04 3
  - *chuckles* why do I feel like the TV won't event get turned on? - Epiphany Nov 3, 12:05 2
    - woo-hoo! *shakin' and dancin'* -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 12:22 1
      - Get in the Spanking Booth. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 3, 12:27

    - I don't know what your beef is with Silver. Occassionally he does some silly stuff, but he's always level headed and comes off quite neutral in his - Don Homer Nov 3, 11:56 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        and to think I threw out my rubber gimp suit... -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 3, 12:15

    - Sure, Siri. -- nm - psilotum Nov 3, 11:56
- He can win. All he has to do is take somebody with him that hasn't done anything. - Strongbad Nov 3, 11:49 21
  - He cannot win. -- nm - David Nov 3, 11:53 19
    - Disagree. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 3, 12:35
    - Here's my question for you (spoils) - Jim Nov 3, 11:57 17
      - Spoilers - David Nov 3, 12:00 15

        All he needed to say was, "Cochran screwed me, bro" and the transformation would have been complete. -- nm - Jim Nov 3, 12:31 2
        
        Right. It's a blueprint example of why lies should be concise. -- nm - David Nov 3, 12:32 1
        
        (We're agreeing a lot this season.) -- nm - David Nov 3, 12:33
        
        the big problem she will face though is - spoilers - Beaker Nov 3, 12:16 5
        
        The only way that happens is if she tells them or Cochran throws her under the bus. - Jim Nov 3, 12:27 4
        
        I would fully expect Cochran to do whatever is needed to save his own skin. He's the VP weasel in Die Hard who gets shot in the face. -- nm - David Nov 3, 12:29 3
        
        does that make Coach Hans Gruber? Or Ozzie? -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 12:32 1
        
        Coach is McClane ... Ozzy is Hans Gruber. - Beryllium Nov 3, 12:42
        
        haha...nice analogy. prefect really -- nm - Jim Nov 3, 12:31
