Hee! I found a cool graphic of a panda holding two pistols and made a piece of flair titled "Eats shoots and leaves." LYC. -- nm - mara Jan 23, 07:21 4
- Nice. Oh, that silly punctuation panda. -- nm - Jelly Jan 23, 07:28
- I care. link? -- nm - lileve Jan 23, 07:22 2
  - The only way I know for you to see it is to check my Fb profile, because I sent it to Pixie. -- (link) - mara Jan 23, 07:23 1
    - Ok, thank you. -- nm - lileve Jan 23, 07:25

  - and those that weren't have more incentive to be now. And have the connections to join up as well. -- nm - znufrii Jan 23, 07:16 8
    - How do you go from "this guy is an innocent bystander caught up and wrongfully imprisoned" to "Al-Queda chief"? - oblique Jan 23, 07:18 7
      - That's not what znu's saying. He's saying you can capture someone who isn't AQ, who meets AQ while in your custody, then becomes AQ after release - TWuG Jan 23, 07:22 2
        
        I got it, but it's veering off the original topic a bit. -- nm - loosilu Jan 23, 07:24 1
        
        it was a little bit of a tangent, yes. I should have made that more clear -- nm - znufrii Jan 23, 07:24

        or a low level functionary might get connections and skills while in detention to move up the ladder upon his release. -- nm - znufrii Jan 23, 07:23 1
        
        Or they're just really f-ing angry at what happened to them. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 23, 07:24
      - one easy way: he's a propaganda tool. -- nm - mafic Jan 23, 07:19
random observation - it's fun where you're wiijogging and, like, nubby jogs by and waves, or Sean trips and falls ahead of you. -- nm - Andie Jan 23, 07:06 4
- It makes me laugh that Will is always the guy throwing hula hoops at me, and the ref at the soccer ball balance game. -- nm - kelly Jan 23, 07:20
- "I'm good." -- nm - WiiSean Jan 23, 07:11 1

      - see if you can try a change in diet before taking pills -- nm - zork Jan 23, 07:09 6
        
        Yes, I've been cutting out foods that have given me trouble but even salad gave me a tiny bit feeling uneasy. - lileve Jan 23, 07:11 5
        
        have you tried an elimination diet? -- nm - zork Jan 23, 07:12 4
        
        I'm sure her doc will make diet recommendations. -- nm - loosilu Jan 23, 07:15
        
        No. -- nm - lileve Jan 23, 07:15 2
        
        loosi's probably right but it's where you eat nothing but potato (usually IIRC) for a while and slowly add other foods until the symptoms return -- nm - zork Jan 23, 07:18 1
        
        Yes. I knew someone who had to do that. But I get this problem even on an empty stomach so I'm not sure it's food related. Also, - lileve Jan 23, 07:22

LIR: Callisto. Best part of the blackberry: Facebook, Twitter, Google Maps, Microsoft Live Search (for addresses, ph#) - oblique Jan 23, 06:21 11
- Heh. I never use mine for any of this stuff except Google maps. I should try the live search thingy. -- nm - Inigo Jan 23, 06:35 3
  - Here's the Microsoft link. It has a great proximity search too so you can find say "Wendy's" near you -- (link) - oblique Jan 23, 06:41 2

I didn't dislike the final 1/3 of Sunshine as much on a 2nd viewing, but it still sucks enough to keep the movie from being really special. B+ still. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 23, 06:17 4
- Little Miss, or Eternal? -- nm - loosilu Jan 23, 06:23 1
  - neither. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 23, 06:23

        I really should pay more attention to local stuff... -- nm - znufrii Jan 23, 06:56
      - Why? She had no experience in politics and probably wouldn't have been able to do much for the state. - krusty Jan 23, 06:44 3

        I think this is a poor choice that was made politically so he could use it when he runs for Governor in a couple of years. - krusty Jan 23, 06:56 1

- I can't believe he went past Cuomo. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 23, 06:12 18
  - Speculation I've read is a combination of 1) wanted a woman 2) Cuomo is the successor for Governor - ty97 Jan 23, 06:14 10
    - moving Cuomo over would also mean most of the top politicians in NY were chosen, not elected -- nm - decline Jan 23, 06:18
    - I'm betting on #1 being accurate. - Will Hunting Jan 23, 06:18
    - 3) is mistaken, as the Dems control both houses of the Legislature - znufrii Jan 23, 06:16 6
      - This is what I presumed. Maybe I read it wrong. Maybe a certain committee approves the Atty General? -- nm - ty97 Jan 23, 06:17 5

        It still leans Republican, but she's been a moderate Rep. Hopefully she'll move further left once in the Senate. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 23, 06:20
