- I use my phone as a phone so rarely that I sometimes forget how to make it be a phone. it's really just for the internet and occasional texting. - amanda Nov 28, 08:15 1
  - Yup, I was noticing this weekend how calling it a 'phone' is a misnomer. It's really a pocket computer. -- nm - ty97 Nov 28, 08:18
Travel horror story of the day: A friend came to visit me last week and was to fly out this morning. Her passport was stolen, and now she's stuck here - Hotkiss Nov 28, 08:11 4

- yes, definitely. -- nm - colin Nov 28, 08:11
- threesome? -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 08:10 6
  - ya think? -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 28, 08:12 5
    - If someone suggested that I needed a "menage", they would probably mean a cleaning service. -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 08:12 4
      - french maid? -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 28, 08:15 3

        sheesh, single no kids in my case means NO presents and I'm expected to show up at every damn event. but when's the last time anyone ever went to - loosilu Nov 28, 08:20 1
        
        Maybe that's why they go overboard for me - I'm always kid or dog watching :)) -- nm - And a JenBro in a Pear Tree Nov 28, 08:28
        
        that is not a problem I've ever had to deal with. cheap bastards. -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 08:15
- I barely shopped this weekend (I bought myself five pairs of tights. they were $4.40 a pair after sale and discount). I really have just a few things - amanda Nov 28, 08:06 9

        I was shocked at how easy this was. Arrived at 4:45, hit the counter, got the order placed; walked for 5 minutes, got in line, 3 minutes in line and - Will Hunting Nov 28, 08:14 3
        
        damn, I have done these things a few times and each time it is a fiasco. - groiny Nov 28, 08:16 2

        that is how Circuit City was when I went there. - groiny Nov 28, 08:22
- let's see...how much shopping did I do this weekend? oh right, none. -- nm - znufrii Nov 28, 08:06 1
  - this. -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 08:07

  - They mostly keep getting better and better. I'm ridiculously excited for El Camino. -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 08:11 3
    - I guess Brothers was so good that's why there was no big hipster backlash when they had a hit. -- nm - Tim Nov 28, 08:14 2
      - It also helps that the music world came to them more than they went to it, in terms of style. -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 08:19 1
        
        I was wondering who the male retro sound was going to come from? -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 28, 08:27

- "Luckily for you, this game is called Hole In One.... *presses button* or HELL!" -- nm - Bob Barker on absinthe Nov 28, 08:03 1

  - it would be so easy if it were an asshole dog. - groiny Nov 28, 08:02 6
    - I got a Boxer. Neurotic. Separation Anxiety issues. Rescue as well. He was convinced for a long time that if he got into a car, he was going to be - Epiphany Nov 28, 08:07 1
      - Boxers are great dogs, I'd call them more high energy than neurotic. Channel the energy into play activities and they do well. -- nm - ceregon Nov 28, 08:11
    - You probably don't need dog advice, but start giving him frequent baths if he's going to be an inside dog (and allowed on the couch). I regret not - mara Nov 28, 08:05 3

    - no, i kilt it. pictures are not public. - colin Nov 28, 07:56 6
      - hmmm, it says public on my album.... nm -- nm - groiny Nov 28, 07:57 5
