I may or may not have said this here before, but I never had a bagel until I came to DC for college - prayformojo Dec 21, 07:01 6
- I'm not sure if my first one was in college or even later. - Kim Pine Dec 21, 07:12 2
  - how did you live?? what did you, eat toast?? -- nm - bad honey Dec 21, 07:18 1
    - My parents, especially my mom, eats them now, but I don't think I knew what one was, let alone ate one, growing up - prayformojo Dec 21, 07:20
- I had never had one until high school. Like 10th grade or something. -- nm - Diva Dec 21, 07:07
- Happy Hannukah! -- nm - nubby Dec 21, 07:02

- The third one is... - Don Homer Dec 21, 07:00
- Florida. -- nm - Kim Pine Dec 21, 06:53 3
  - Florida was actually #9 (8 if you don't count DC) for percent-gain. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 21, 06:58 2

  - Pretty sure Illinois and Ohio are right as it was a big thing in Ohio before I moved. To Illinois. :-) -- nm - TWuG Dec 21, 06:56 4
    - Ohio gained slightly (0.1%). -- nm - Don Homer Dec 21, 06:56 3
      - That's really surprising. Maybe what I'm confusing is the reapportionment of House seats. - TWuG Dec 21, 06:58 2
        
        That has to do with 2000 to 2010. And doesn't mean it lost population (only Michigan did), just lost more relative to others. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 21, 07:00 1
        
        or, rather "didn't gain as much relative to others" -- nm - Don Homer Dec 21, 07:01

I think we all need a bit of a post-mortem review of yesterday. - ty97 Dec 21, 06:44 44
- Honestly -- yesterday is a symptom of *EXACTLY* what years of feud has led us to. - Will Hunting Dec 21, 07:06 3
  - again I reference looking fat in a lycra miniskirt. if I start acting like an asshole, people email me so. how does not everyone have that - bad honey Dec 21, 07:19
  - I think a lot of what you say is accurate, but it's important to note that yesterday wasn't started by the usual suspects. That's the key takeaway. - ty97 Dec 21, 07:11
  - I can't see any system being put in place that would end up being abused. - TWuG Dec 21, 07:10
- Ah. I scoured the backboards wondering what set everyone off. I thought I'd missed something. But apparently not. This looks like a bunch of long- - TWuG Dec 21, 06:55 2

- lets move on -- nm - Epiphany Dec 21, 06:51 30
  - ~let's get together, yeah yeah yeah~ -- nm - mr. grinch Dec 21, 06:54
  - We've already lost a poster today. If we bury our heads in the sand and don't assess our own actions, it will just happen again. - ty97 Dec 21, 06:54 28
    - I agree again with tycumber. as part of the problem, though, everything I say is discounted. again, I'm staying because I feel like I bring things to - bad honey Dec 21, 07:02

      - Thats not what I meant or said - eag Dec 21, 07:07 2

        I had to hold my tongue during that whole pact-making. The fact that a bunch of grown adults, mostly in their 40s, required a junior high - ty97 Dec 21, 07:14
        
        [deleted] 6
        
        OK, but you can understand why someone would fight for an image of ST that did not contain non-agression pacts, right? -- nm - Reagen Dec 21, 07:15 5
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        I can live with that - eag Dec 21, 07:25
        
        I'm not asking you to agree, just to understand and see how it's not coming from a place of "drama, yay!" -- nm - Reagen Dec 21, 07:22 1

        And we just need not to take things so personal -- nm - eag Dec 21, 07:10 1
        
        But we are all flawed because we are human and we all have emotions - eag Dec 21, 07:12
      - I don't think ST likes the drama, I think it's more what Andie says. Assumptions get made, reinforced, and then start to clash. - TWuG Dec 21, 07:04 1
        
        I was listening to NPR this morning and they were talking about the new proposed law about "you must report child abuse if you suspect it" - bad honey Dec 21, 07:12 [Backboard]
    - someone left over that? who? -- nm - mr. grinch Dec 21, 06:57 6
      - There was more last night, but I didn't think it pertinent to root cause of the fight. But Jim noted parts of this thread as the straw for him -- (link) - ty97 Dec 21, 07:02 [Backboard] 4
        
        that's a shame, i liked jim. - mr. grinch Dec 21, 07:14

        and me? I am *gone* if you tell me "no more shoe shopping." -- nm - bad honey Dec 21, 07:16

  - oh, you just reminded me to look and see if those tartan shoes I want are on sale. -- nm - bad honey Dec 21, 06:49
  - the whole thing was a jumble of people making assumptions about what was being said. - Andie Dec 21, 06:47 2
    - I saw a photo last night that was way more offensive than the Dubai can - Beryllium Dec 21, 06:50 1

Middle East subterfuge and Hello Kitty Microwaves board! - prayformojo Dec 21, 06:26 20
- I just need. a toaster oven. there will be no christmas bagels in mandyland without one. (I'm seriously just throwing mine away tonight. - bad honey Dec 21, 06:28 19
  - so you need the toaster oven and not just the toaster with a bagel setting? -- nm - CQ Dec 21, 06:29 18
    - it's been my experience that sesame seeds are more likely to fall off in a toaster than in a toaster oven. so yeah, I want the oven. - bad honey Dec 21, 06:32 17
      - I use my toaster oven more than my microwave probably. Finding a good one is a pita. I have a delonghi now and hate it -- nm - decline Dec 21, 06:34 1
        
        mine only toasts the back half of the bagel. it doesn't have a tight seal at the door, I think. I've been thinking that - bad honey Dec 21, 06:39
      - well, there's your problem. you are buying sesame seed bagels instead of poppy seed. - Andie Dec 21, 06:32 14
        
        Let's go ahead and poll this -- Favorite bagel flavor - znufrii Dec 21, 06:36 11
        
        Plain with butter or Asiago with a lot of regular cream cheese. -- nm - TWuG Dec 21, 06:42
        
        everything bagel - but Asiago cheese is a very close second -- nm - Epiphany Dec 21, 06:42
        
        sesame, extra toasted upside down (like, *very* extra toasted) with full fat plain cream cheese. -- nm - bad honey Dec 21, 06:40
        
        mmm, poppy seed is the default. but maybe a cheddar bagel, toasted, with real butter is my true fave. -- nm - Andie Dec 21, 06:39
        
        plain bagels only for me, thanks -- nm - CQ Dec 21, 06:37 6
        
        they DO go best with Coors Light. -- nm - Andie Dec 21, 06:38 5
        
        heh - prayformojo Dec 21, 06:46 4
        
        salt bagel extra extra toasted unsalted butter plus guinness is so, so good. -- nm - bad honey Dec 21, 06:58 2
        
        your ideas intrigue me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter -- nm - znufrii Dec 21, 07:13
        
        You're a very special individual. -- nm - CQ Dec 21, 07:04
        
        bagels and pints? like EVERY Saturday morning for soccer, duh -- nm - CQ Dec 21, 06:50
        
        All-dressed for the win! -- nm - Roger More Dec 21, 06:35
        
        poppy seeds would fall off too. salt falls off salt bagels. (I like sesame seed because if you toast them quickly with very high heat, the seeds pop - bad honey Dec 21, 06:35
