- "my mom likes a martini"....... sounds like someone drinks that shit -- nm - dogbert Nov 4, 10:29
- *puts up the SheFox signal* - TFox Nov 4, 10:29
- wha! real martinis are where it's at. so basically, any drink you would typically serve in a martini glass? -- (link) - kare Nov 4, 10:27 1
  - "If using vodka" please, that drink would be a waste without alcohol -- nm - MDH Nov 4, 10:29
- Flirtini! Vodka, Champagne, Pineapple Juice. - MDH Nov 4, 10:24
You know, if it was next Friday right now, there would be college basketball games tonight. - TFox Nov 4, 10:22 5
- wait there is other basketball people can watch? Oh shit! -- nm - NBA Nov 4, 10:26 2
  - I can't help but notice how little play hockey gets in mainstream media, even on the days on which it's *the only sporting event occurring* - prayformojo Nov 4, 10:29 1
    - They don't seem to gain fans. It doesn't seem like a sport people will watch casually and then pick up. - Krusty Nov 4, 10:37
- serious twitch. -- nm - decline Nov 4, 10:25
- Can't wait! -- nm - Krusty Nov 4, 10:25

Excel question I should have asked three hours ago - znufrii Nov 4, 10:14 3
- Sure --- minimize the spreadsheet (not the Excel program) and resize 2 of them on your screen. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 4, 10:15 2
  - except for the fact that I can't have 2 of the same file open at one time, but that's easily enough fixed - znufrii Nov 4, 10:21
  - or on dual screens, stretch the main excel window across both monitors, put one in each. -- nm - colin Nov 4, 10:18

- 15% but that could go up to 85% if there's an open bar and you can bring Chun. - Krusty Nov 4, 10:14 4
  - [deleted] 3
    - When pixie write the move version of this, Chun turns up at the reunion as the 'date' of one your college tricks - ty97 Nov 4, 10:16 1

ST probably doesn't care, but I do: Bob Forsch died last night. I don't remember a Cardinals team as a kid without him. Very sad. - Jim Nov 4, 10:03 3
- I saw that. Sad, sad. - Kim Pine in a Ramona Flowers costume Nov 4, 10:21 1

friday hax chat q: they agreed he woukd move to her city when his temp job ended. but then the company made him a dream offer and he's staying put - stuffed pixie Nov 4, 09:58 31
- If she has a good job and/or strong ties to her current city, this is a tough one. - ty97 Nov 4, 10:05 5
  - he moved for her. it's her turn. -- nm - amanda Nov 4, 10:11 4
    - He agreed to move but then got the dream offer and never did move, I think. - ty97 Nov 4, 10:14 1
      - oh right. sorry. -- nm - amanda Nov 4, 10:21
    - Did he? -- nm - mara Nov 4, 10:14 1
      - sounds like he didn't, and that's the problem. -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 10:14
- Break it off. You don't want to date the same guy for your whole 20s anyway. Mix it up. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 4, 10:05 1
  - Translation: Be a ho. -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 10:10
- first, bang the doorman. Second, move to his city -- nm - decline Nov 4, 10:05
- offs - znufrii Nov 4, 10:00
- she needs to ask him to honestly say how long ago he knew they were going to offer the dream job. -- nm - zork Nov 4, 10:00
- I broke up with my girlfriend of 3.5 years over almost this exact same scenario. -- nm - TFox Nov 4, 10:00 2
  - If they went to college, it sounds like they started dating as sophomore/juniors for two years, then have been long-distance since due to work. - ty97 Nov 4, 10:09 1
    - An important consideration is, after two years of LDR, there's a real strong chance if you move you're going to want to break up in 6 months anyway. - TFox Nov 4, 10:21
- [deleted] 16
  - Agreed -- nm - amoxy Nov 4, 10:06 1
    - [deleted]
  - right? i mean, she might be in school, so can't. but if it's just one more year, then wait and move. -- nm - Andie Nov 4, 10:01 13
    - she's not in school; she works. but she talks about his dream job, not hers. so sister needs to move. -- nm - amanda Nov 4, 10:01 12
      - Yeah, it's weird to me that she doesn't talk about her job, where she is, why she wants to be there, etc. -- nm - mara Nov 4, 10:06
      - yeah i missed 'the getting started' implying she's working. if she just has some entry level job, pack it up and move chickie, -- nm - Andie Nov 4, 10:04 9
        
        I feel a piece is missing: Why did they agree to go to her city originally? It's l ike she left out a key fact -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 10:07 8
        
        i feel like if there was a really compelling reason for her city she would have mentioned it. -- nm - Andie Nov 4, 10:08 1
        
        I tend to think these are edited sometimes but don't know. -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 10:09
        
        and the "we have to do another year of distance and then I have to move" part is weird. - TFox Nov 4, 10:08 5
        
        A long contract? - Will Hunting Nov 4, 10:23
        
        that's why i thought maybe school. -- nm - Andie Nov 4, 10:09 3
        
        yeah, i think this makes sense. -- nm - TFox Nov 4, 10:14
        
        it does sound like that. -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 10:14
        
        maybe "I need this job for x years before I move on/go back to school"? -- nm - amanda Nov 4, 10:13
      - BUT WHAT ABOUT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!. signed: Kim Kardasian -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 10:03
