oh, crap. Mandy: "Corbett to propose 20% to 30% funding cuts for Pa. state universities" -- (link) - decline Feb 7, 07:06 1
- Last year was similar too, iirc. Though PSU's state funding is actually pretty abysmal. One of the worst of any "state" schools out there. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 7, 07:08

Real Life Dear Prudence scenario........ - Walt_Disney Feb 7, 06:49 40
- I'm wondering, if you're looking to cheat on your partner, why would you go on eHarmony? -- nm - Roger More Feb 7, 07:05 21
  - too bad the profile is gone, because my first choice would be to make a date. -- nm - loosilu Feb 7, 07:11
  - maybe he's not looking to 'cheat'. maybe he wants out of the rocky marriage and he needs something to jump to. - Andie Feb 7, 07:09 7
    - I have a friend who has been doing this for over 20 years. -- nm - Diva Feb 7, 07:10 5
      - Heh - in a way, don't we all? -- nm - Roger More Feb 7, 07:12 3
        
        I've never been in a relationship where I started seeing someone else before I had ended the current relationship. -- nm - Diva Feb 7, 07:14 2
        
        I mean - don't we all have a friend like that? - Roger More Feb 7, 07:15 1
        
        oh - *laughing* -- nm - Diva Feb 7, 07:16
      - yeah, I have a friend who is doing the same thing. -- nm - decline Feb 7, 07:11
    - (which is still scummy and cheating, but you know what i mean, it's not JUST for something on the side, maybe.) -- nm - Andie Feb 7, 07:10
  - because he's a big friggin' hypocrite who is looking to cheat on his wife with a good Christian woman. -- nm - Diva Feb 7, 07:08
  - I thought the fish one was the Jesus one. -- nm - sycor Feb 7, 07:08 4

    - thank you! my brother! I thought so too - not true, not true at all. - Epiphany Feb 7, 07:10
    - plentyoffish and 'fishers of men' is not the same thing. -- nm - Diva Feb 7, 07:09
    - so wrong -- nm - Andie Feb 7, 07:08
  - That was one of my thoughts too.....thats why Ashley Madison exists...you know what you are getting into!!!! -- nm - Walt_Disney Feb 7, 07:07
  - it happens all the time. I think people think, "oh, if I'm in a relationship, my SO will never look to see if I have a profile at like match.com." - the amanda nones Feb 7, 07:06 3
    - eHarmony is jesusy *and*you pay for it. OKQ and POF are free. -- nm - loosilu Feb 7, 07:10

- threesome -- nm - Beaker Feb 7, 06:53
- strip club! -- nm - encyclopedia pixie Feb 7, 06:52
- I'm assuming those matches go both ways, so husband saw he was matched with a friend of hers and delete-panicked? - TFox Feb 7, 06:50 1
  - and if she doesn't, the husband has to start wondering why she hasn't.... -- nm - Beaker Feb 7, 06:57
- Friend A and Friend B are close friends, right? If it were my close friend (and i was either A or B) i think i'd want to know/tell. -- nm - Andie Feb 7, 06:50 10
  - And here the BUT.....since its only a print profile, do we think that Friend B will believe Friend A?..... - Walt_Disney Feb 7, 07:00 3
    - you sort of a have a point - what if she tells - Friend B and husband have a blow up, get back together - Friend A is going to be out in the cold - Epiphany Feb 7, 07:10
    - what would Friend A's motivation be in trying to break them up? I mean, she could even say it like this... - Andie Feb 7, 07:03
    - maybe, but Friend A should just ask her what she thinks she is getting out of doing this? - Beaker Feb 7, 07:02
  - yep -- nm - ty97 Feb 7, 06:56 5
    - and, i say this because there is NO QUESTION of his intentions here. - Andie Feb 7, 06:59 4
      - well, they could be seeing other people and not yet telling friends. it happens, you know. -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 7, 07:04 3
        
        heh. true enough. mail it to friend anonymously! -- nm - Andie Feb 7, 07:05 2
        
        genius!!! I swear Andie - you are so good at this -- nm - Epiphany Feb 7, 07:12

I actually feel a little bad for Clint Eastwood for having to deflect claims that he's pro-Obama. -- nm - Mop Feb 7, 06:44 3
- has he defended himself? He should just tell haters to go pound sand given his popularity he could get away with it easy -- nm - Beaker Feb 7, 06:45 2
  - he prob could say even more than that and get away with it. Clint is the man. -- nm - Jovian Feb 7, 06:50 1

- Wait, am I readin it wrong or does she say that bringing a lesbian means going to strip clubs - decline Feb 7, 07:00 1
  - It's guys weekend other than the one woman who'll enjoy the group activity of looking at naked women. - Will Hunting Feb 7, 07:04
- She seems to be worried about nothing imo. That being said, he never should have mentioned it. -- nm - CQ: Giving Love To All Feb 7, 06:59 1
  - [deleted]
- Her basic concerns might be valid.....but this letter is written to 11. - Will Hunting Feb 7, 06:49 6
  - and 3 1/2 years is a long time to be engaged... -- nm - Diva Feb 7, 06:50 5
    - well, how the hell do you expect him to pay for a wedding when he's blowing all his money at strip clubs? -- nm - decline Feb 7, 06:56 1
      - "I'm sorry honey, but we only have $5k in our stripper fund and I've always dreamed of having two dozen, full service strippers at my bachelor party" -- nm - Beaker Feb 7, 06:58
    - and certainly a long time to have such issues with your man going to a strip club. -- nm - Jovian Feb 7, 06:55 2
      - yeah. it's silly -- nm - CQ: Giving Love To All Feb 7, 06:59 1
        
        there seems to be a lot more going on here than her aversion to him going to strip clubs (as others have noted). -- nm - Diva Feb 7, 07:02
- "I just need some guidance from some rational men and women" ConfusedAboutMen? you need to chill the f out. - Jovian Feb 7, 06:42
- are the [ice cream cones] the original writer's or Meredith's? -- nm - encyclopedia pixie Feb 7, 06:40 3
  - the latter, I assume. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 7, 06:54 2
    - i thought she might have had some weird creepy aversion to writing out "titties" -- nm - encyclopedia pixie Feb 7, 06:55 1
      - the proper terminology is bazongas pixie. -- nm - Beaker Feb 7, 06:56
- A) I don't think men in relationships have a God-given right to be allowed in strip clubs; it should be a team call. - TFox Feb 7, 06:39 10
  - oh, and d: there's no way they're spending *the whole trip* in strip clubs. none. - TFox Feb 7, 06:47 4
    - I'm sure they'll spend plenty of time blowing money in casinos as well. -- nm - znufrii Feb 7, 06:49 1
      - that's not how you lose money, znu; that's how you *make* money. - TFox Feb 7, 06:52
    - Exactly. She's got some weird idea in her head ans is obsessing -- nm - Bacon via droid Feb 7, 06:49 1
      - yup -- nm - Beaker Feb 7, 06:54
  - yeah, and you're right. except for "my boobs are fee and he wants to pay for other boobs." - the amanda nones Feb 7, 06:41 3
    - let's say he found the one pro-bono strip club on Earth, where instead of dollar bills you just shower the girls in compliments. she's still pissed. -- nm - TFox Feb 7, 06:43 2
      - oh word. "I'm using money as an excuse to be pissed at you for thinking I'm not hot." -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 7, 06:46 1
        
        the amusing part is, generally, i think dudes would be way, *way* more insecure about their gals cavorting with strippers. - TFox Feb 7, 06:49
  - d) don't ask to gon on all-male trips and he won't have to tell you he's going to strip clubs with the guys -- nm - Beaker Feb 7, 06:41

  - wow...those seem actually kind of reasonable. I expected them to be pricier -- nm - Beaker Feb 7, 06:40 3
    - This doesn't include VIP tickets. The breakout is crazy. Almost are the tickets are $175 plus. Just a few are the lesser range. - MDH Feb 7, 06:43 2
      - there's a lot of sub-$100 seats in that Yankee Stadium show. -- nm - TFox Feb 7, 06:45 1
        
        Yeah, I think the baseball stadiums/outdoor parks will have more cheaper seats, the areans are douubtful :-( - MDH Feb 7, 06:48

      - nah, I missed Ottawa and TO. me dum -- nm - Beaker Feb 7, 07:09

  - if there's one thing I've learned searching through Madonna comments for Stacy posts, it's that she's monstrously huge in Latin America. -- nm - TFox Feb 7, 06:28
  - Read my IM :-p All the Latin American/Australia dates are 2013 and haven't been announced yet. -- nm - MDH Feb 7, 06:27

- C, as I would think people affected by the law would have standing. - Will Hunting Feb 7, 06:31 8
  - [deleted] 7
    - I might be confused on the sides here.... - Will Hunting Feb 7, 06:39 6
      - The question of standing applies to the pro-Prop 8 (anti-gay marriage) people, who are appealing the lower court's ruling overturning the measure. -- nm - znufrii Feb 7, 06:41 5
        
        Then I have it backwards.... -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 7, 06:42 4

        *nodding* - Will Hunting Feb 7, 07:10
- IANAL, but my guess would be that A is most likely, followed by C. -- nm - TFox Feb 7, 06:27
- C. -- nm - encyclopedia pixie Feb 7, 06:26
- A. Lower court ruling will stand. -- nm - TWuG Feb 7, 06:24
- B is out of the question. -- nm - Mop Feb 7, 06:20
