  - I am trying to see if I can take two months of parental leave in the late spring....both financially and work wise. -- nm - Walt_Disney Nov 28, 14:23 1
    - I may at the end of the year. Mrs. NWBR is the bread winner of the family and it might make $$$ sense for her to go back a month or two early. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 28, 14:38
- yeah, I was in the middle of busy season when Pinch arrived. I had the weekend and that was it. With the twins I had more time, season was almost at - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 28, 14:20 2
  - On that I agree. It was really tricky at work to get my amount of time off at the time of year my daughter was born. You need a supportive employer. -- nm - Walt_Disney Nov 28, 14:22 1

  - Feral Whores? -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 14:26
  - Thank god you didn't go with "feral warwhores" -- nm - Trish Nov 28, 14:26
  - I read it as "feral housewives." that was going to be an *interesting* slideshow. -- nm - amanda Nov 28, 14:19 1
    - "Pictured below: Jocelyn Wildensteen" -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 14:21
- The World Without Us: Now A Reality -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 28, 14:14

Dubsteb for deaf people. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Nov 28, 14:03 3
- That's pretty awesome. -- nm - Qale Nov 28, 14:39
- Just say no to dupstep. -- nm - MDH Nov 28, 14:09
- I would think this is one area where deaf people would count themselves lucky. -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 14:04
nmb Mop - kelly Nov 28, 14:01 2
- No prob. Hope there's something in there you find useful. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Nov 28, 14:03 1
  - Are you kidding? It's *all* useful! :) -- nm - kelly Nov 28, 14:04
Hmm, now would be the perfect time to stumble across the humidifier we used once, years ago, and then stored somewhere. - kelly Nov 28, 13:58 2
- It is, iirc. It went in the May purge -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 28, 14:00 1
  - Shit. - kelly Nov 28, 14:02
someone has transffered all the books from skyrim into, well, downloadable ebook format -- (link) - tRuMaN Nov 28, 13:54
Amy is absolutely waxing my ass in WWF. - groiny Nov 28, 13:53 3
- [deleted] 1
  - and that's different than every other day...how? -- nm - znufrii Nov 28, 14:03
- I'm pretty sure you'd enjoy that. -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 13:54
and here I thought the Daily Show bit on the Cain campaign in the wake of the Perry gaffe was a *joke*... -- nm - znufrii Nov 28, 13:51

ENCORE was showing the extended versions of LotRs, right? - Mel Profit Nov 28, 13:46 33
- tangential: I got a Black Friday deal on a new sound bar system. I tested it out with the Ride of the Rohirrim -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 14:12 18
  - tell me about these. My wife has declared war on wires. - Reagen Nov 28, 14:25 12
    - I'm really picky about sound and it sounds...pretty damn good. - Trish Nov 28, 14:33 1
      - SEE. Your voice is Black Canary level in it's power -- nm - Remlik Nov 28, 14:35
    - it's a bar where all the speakers are pointed towards you...some of the higher to mid priced ones... - Remlik Nov 28, 14:29
    - I just got a front one. It really did the trick and definitely solves the wire delimma a home theater system creates -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 14:27 8
      - the front one is not really a problem. - Reagen Nov 28, 14:30 7
        
        it would work with any receiver, it contains all the speakers you need except the subwoofer, I'm not sure if wireless models exist -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 14:32 6
        
        I think the ultimate solution is still going to be hiding the wire behind the baseboards, but I'll look into them. -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 14:39 3
        
        It is a lot less work than messing with the baseboards :) -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 14:43 2
        
        well, my secret weapon is that the baseboards need to be done anyway. :) -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 14:45 1
        
        oh, that changes things -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 14:46
        
        yes there are wireless subwoofers. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 28, 14:38 1
        
        I assumed he meant wireless sound bars not subwoofers. I would guess they exist but I don't know for sure -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 14:43
  - Was it good? I'm intrigued by the sound bars. -- nm - con_carne Nov 28, 14:13 4
    - now my house isn't that big, but I had it only 1/3 of the way up when Trish started yelling from the back of the house for me to turn it down. - crash davis Nov 28, 14:15 1
      - For smaller places soundbars are a nice way to go and not deal with speakers and wire -- nm - Remlik Nov 28, 14:21
    - I rather love mine (the Vizio one). It's not surround sound but it's very good sound, and much less of a PITA (for me). - TFox Nov 28, 14:15 1
      - I love mine. It's a monster when it comes to sound. -- nm - Remlik Nov 28, 14:22
- yep. -- nm - Remlik Nov 28, 13:48 5
  - really? I watched a lot of it this past weekend and they seemed like the normal versions. -- nm - Diva Nov 28, 13:51 4
    - The scene early on when it was just Sam and Frodo... - Mel Profit Nov 28, 14:01 1
      - You are correct. I think that scene gets a whole chapter in the book -- nm - con_carne Nov 28, 14:32
    - the FOTR is the standard now, TTT is the extended. - groiny Nov 28, 13:52 1
      - perhaps this was On Demand. -- nm - Diva Nov 28, 13:53
- so, their showing of ROTK hasn't ended yet? -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 13:47
- yup. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 28, 13:46 6
  - I thought so. I was surprised they weren't advertised as such. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 28, 13:48 5
    - I watched them on Demand, and it tells you in the info that it is the extended versions. - groiny Nov 28, 13:52 4
      - I must have missed that and who knew groiny liked the kissing parts. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 28, 13:52 2
        
        "BECAUSE THEY LOVE YOU (and I do too)!" -- nm - con_carne Nov 28, 14:14
        
        I have a secret boner for Eowyn nm -- nm - groiny Nov 28, 13:53

"�Cain denies an affair, but not a relationship,� says Russell. " - amoxy Nov 28, 13:45 34
- "Cain said he would not comment on the allegations until he knows exactly what is going to be reported." dude. just say "I didn't bang her" - amanda Nov 28, 13:59 3
  - He just doesn't know what they know yet. - spamlet Nov 28, 14:14 1
    - "I definitely didn't do coke with her and her sister in Aug of 96." "...she's not saying that." "Well good,because I didn't." -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 14:32
  - Or don't bring it up at all. -- nm - mara Nov 28, 14:04
- ugh. he's as bad as Edwards. - Diva Nov 28, 13:49 24
  - Which, in a warped way, could help Gingrich...His affairs are already out in the open - amoxy Nov 28, 13:51 22
    - There's always something else out there. -- nm - mara Nov 28, 13:53 14
      - totally the case. I mean, what kind of fool who's ever been unfaithful thinks they can run for office? there's no such thing as a secret anymore. - amanda Nov 28, 13:54
      - *finger to nose* he's had nearly 20 years to do something dastardly. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 28, 13:53 12
        
        It sort of runs in concert with the personality type that wants to be President. -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 14:05 11
        
        this was supposed to be under mandy but it works for the whole thread, really. -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 14:06 10
        
        Right. Powerful guys (mostly guys) are a dicked to the power and and the exercise of it. - Mel Profit Nov 28, 14:09 9
        
        I'm starting to believe it's Newt's to lose strangely enough. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 28, 14:15 6
        
        and then he's Dole without the huggability. -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 14:18 5
        
        the last guy who tried to hug Dole got that pen stuck in his eye for his troubles. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 28, 14:37
        
        Except without worrying about a third-party to grab eight-and-a-half percent. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 28, 14:21 3
        
        Bubba was less than 1% shy of 50 even at that. -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 14:22 2
        
        We can start parsing to the end, but Obama is behind Clinton in terms of approval and unemployment numbers. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 28, 14:41 1
        
        for an incumbent it comes down to "is the other guy better?" I can't see many making that choice with Newt. - Reagen Nov 28, 14:44
        
        auto-correct really got to the heart of that message, there, didn't it. -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 14:10 1
        
        license. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 28, 14:13
