Someone tell me that spending $36 on something that will be looked at for two seconds and then thrown away is stupid. - Andie Apr 13, 11:54 18
- I'm trying to imagine what this could be... -- nm - Don Homer Apr 13, 11:57 4
  - it involves rubber stamps. really, just having this conversation here made me smarten up. we're good. -- nm - Andie Apr 13, 11:58 3
    - Heh. Yeah, now I'm even more unsure of what it could be. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 13, 12:01
    - ohhhh... - TFox Apr 13, 11:59 1
      - true, collectively it will be about 200 seconds. :) -- nm - Andie Apr 13, 11:59
- dignan is totally worth it -- nm - pixitude Apr 13, 11:57
- Don't do it. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 11:56
- YOLO -- nm - CQ: In Suspension Apr 13, 11:56
- stripper? -- nm - oblique Apr 13, 11:56 1
  - cheap stripper! -- nm - Andie Apr 13, 11:56
- depends ... how much will it make you &/or them/others laugh &/or enjoy those two seconds & will it be remembered for YEARS? -- nm - JenBro Apr 13, 11:55 2
  - no, no it won't. -- nm - Andie Apr 13, 11:56 1
    - then I'd pass -- nm - JenBro Apr 13, 11:57
- Yeah, I can't think of anything that is worth $18/sec. -- nm - TWuG Apr 13, 11:55
- how awesome will those two seconds be? -- nm - TFox Apr 13, 11:55 3
  - not even that awesome. more in the realm of 'heh, cute.' -- nm - Andie Apr 13, 11:55 2

- I had a friend that did that to me ALL the time - "fair weather friend" - if something else came along - he'd change plans - it sucked. -- nm - JenBro Apr 13, 11:57 7
  - people think of plans differently than others. I'm a whatever planner. If we have plans to see a movie and you or your SO says you're doing something - CQ: In Suspension Apr 13, 11:59
  - i hope you "mistakenly" hit the gas pedal on him -- nm - pixitude Apr 13, 11:57 1

  - but, this person is *including* Dawson in the changed plans, right? -- nm - Andie Apr 13, 11:57 3
    - [deleted]

- a little shitty, but nbd -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 11:50
- NBD. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 13, 11:48
- no biggie. -- nm - TFox Apr 13, 11:48
- might not have been his/her decision if the BF wanted to do it -- nm - Beaker Apr 13, 11:48
- no big deal if it was just changing plans but the last comment is a little sh!tty -- nm - znufrii Apr 13, 11:48 5
  - [deleted] 2
    - Absolutely, he asked you to a movie, you accepted. plans were made. You should have been given 'first refusal'. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 13, 11:53 1
      - prima nocta! -- nm - Beaker Apr 13, 11:53
  - I saw it as changing plans and not telling Dawson. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 13, 11:51 1

- It also says it's more common in people over 76, which means more women. - loosilu Apr 13, 11:39 2
  - Yes, very true. I didn't read the article, but a good study would definitely control for age. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 13, 11:41 1
    - can't tell from the article, but the study was done by NHTSA, so I am guessing they did control for it. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 11:49

  - makes lists - keeps them (like if it's something you do often) - adds GPS to remind you if you are near what you need to get done - that kinda stuff -- nm - JenBro Apr 13, 11:34
  - no, see, you make the lists. It just holds them for you. Like a piece of paper would -- nm - decline Apr 13, 11:23
