wow, even the army is jealous of how much Andie does by 9 a.m. - zork Apr 16, 09:11
I raelized this weekend I have to figure out a way to make a 4 bedroom house fit into a 1 bedroom apartment. - sycor Apr 16, 09:04 33
- hire one of them Hoarders coaches -- nm - pixitude Apr 16, 09:19
- get yourself psyched into brutal de-cluttering mode (I have no idea how to do this - maybe if you have a good friend that's good at letting stuff go?) - JenBro Apr 16, 09:18 2
  - I hate packing/moving/unpacking, but it is GREAT for cleaning out -- nm - ty97 Apr 16, 09:19 1
    - I have to be in the mood for it - and even then - need someone to nudge on stuff -- nm - JenBro Apr 16, 09:29
- rough.we've got pretty much the opposite problem - znufrii Apr 16, 09:10 13
  - start making babies -- nm - CQ: In Suspension Apr 16, 09:14 3
    - I am not ready for this. -- nm - The World Apr 16, 09:19
    - This is what I was getting at. :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 16, 09:17
    - [deleted]
  - I expect it'll be like the Bluth house for a while. - Krusty Apr 16, 09:13 1
    - pretty much :) -- nm - znufrii Apr 16, 09:14
  - yeah this is way easier than you think it will be. WAY easier. :) -- nm - sycor Apr 16, 09:11
  - [deleted] 1
    - we're actually in the process of going through our boxes of stuff and getting rid of stuff in advance of moving, if you can believe it. -- nm - znufrii Apr 16, 09:18
  - I was familiar with this problem ... but it turns out it's not as hard as you'd think. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 16, 09:10
  - why would you want to? space is beautiful. -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 09:10 2
    - we're pretty much going to leave the top floor alone for now until we figure out how to use the space - znufrii Apr 16, 09:11 1
      - Enjoy having an official Sex Room while you can. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 16, 09:13
- I recommend getting a storage unit. -- nm - Yuuuuuup! si Apr 16, 09:09 10
  - I tend to disagree. If it can't fit in the apartment, do you really need it? Opportunity to purge. -- nm - ty97 Apr 16, 09:17
  - oh I will be. And then selling stuff off to get rid of it asap. Its still a pain though. -- nm - sycor Apr 16, 09:10 8
    - unless you do something quickly, you usually pay more for the storage than how much the stuff is useful to you. -- nm - zork Apr 16, 09:13 6
      - exactly. Better to actually get rid of it. -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 09:15 1
        
        donate it and get the tax deduction, if you can itemize... -- nm - znufrii Apr 16, 09:16
      - yeah, do the math. is six months of storage costs actually worth it for the value of the objects being stored? -- nm - Andie Apr 16, 09:14 3
        
        Yes. I have a lot of collectibles that are worth thousands. So, its worth it. - sycor Apr 16, 09:18 1
        
        it's easy to spend a grand a year on a unit which makes a huge dent in your return -- nm - zork Apr 16, 09:21
        
        Yeah, the only way I recommend a storage room is if you just need more time. Set a tiem limit for when you are throwing out what is still in it, like - Iron Spawn Apr 16, 09:16
    - I honestly think you shoudl consider the organizer. I accomplished more in two hours than I have in years. -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 09:11
- I definitely recommend hiring a professional organizer for a few hours. -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 09:06 3
  - what exactly do they do? I mean, like pack stuff or just rearrange items more efficiently? I don't understand the concept. -- nm - sycor Apr 16, 09:08 2
    - You get to pretend you're a hoarder for a day. -- nm - TFox Apr 16, 09:21
    - they can help you decide what things to keep/store/get rid of, and also figure out the best use of your space. -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 09:08
Anyone following the Boston Marathon? I'm going to guess the winner will be... - loosilu Apr 16, 09:02 4
- that's where I put my money too. -- nm - zork Apr 16, 09:03
- it's not on tv here. sucks -- nm - CQ: In Suspension Apr 16, 09:03 2
  - That's because you're a Boston hater. -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 09:05
  - Wait, they televise marathons? -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 16, 09:04
MH lyc - C'mon Foxhunters!!! We're so close to winning some tourney tokens :) -- nm - JenBro Apr 16, 08:52

  - poor Max. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 16, 08:50
- Avengers does nothing for me......more people I knew were talking about HG but I dont know anyone talking Avengers. -- nm - Walt_Disney Apr 16, 08:49 6
  - It is still a ways out. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 16, 08:53 5
    - Only 2 weeks. -- nm - Roger More Apr 16, 09:15 4
      - 3 weeks, but yeah. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 16, 09:16 3
        
        Hmmm... I wonder why I thought it was coming out April 27? -- nm - Roger More Apr 16, 09:18
        
        SFEK. To try and compare almost any movie to Hunger Games is pointless. - Iron Spawn Apr 16, 09:18 1
        
        I agree - there are fewer hardcore teen fans for this, but a broader potential audience overall. -- nm - Roger More Apr 16, 09:22
- I think this has a chance to be HUGE!!! - Mel Profit Apr 16, 08:49 7
  - Are you mad gesturing with your arms wide akimbo? - JenBro Apr 16, 08:58 6
    - well, Mel has Trex arms, so it is not really that big. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 16, 08:59 5
      - I actually have an impressive arm-span. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 16, 09:04 3
        
        "Right Turn, Clyde" nm -- nm - groiny Apr 16, 09:06 2
        
        heh -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 16, 09:09
        
        Go moisturize your thighs. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 16, 09:07
      - "Why aren't you seizing the boy!?" - Will Hunting Apr 16, 09:04
- I think I will likely see it 2 more times. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 16, 08:45 4
  - Easily. -- nm - Iron Spawn: T minus 2 days Apr 16, 08:47
  - yep -- nm - Remlik Apr 16, 08:46 2
    - Remember the summer when Return of the Jedi ran the *entire* time? If it can do that, I can see seeing it a 4th time, even. -- nm - Iron Spawn: T minus 2 days Apr 16, 08:48
    - I was so pumped when I saw your fb status -- nm - MDH Apr 16, 08:48

- my step-father became an Anglican priest after he and my mom got married... - zork Apr 16, 08:59 2
  - I think shes been thinking about this for a while but she never found the right time in her life to give any real thought.... - Walt_Disney Apr 16, 09:20
  - That would be awesome if he ran for council at the same time she was going for clergy. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 16, 09:03
- I think step one is figuring out just where she would want to take it. - Ender Apr 16, 08:58
- I would suggest a compromise of waiting a year before pursuing it. - spamlet Apr 16, 08:50

Dawson, your IM is my gripe to a T. - MDH Apr 16, 08:39 2

Why is the Boston game on so early? What am I missing? - Krusty Apr 16, 08:35 20
- Better chance of the players not being drunk. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 16, 08:51
- Man, you need a tall glass of Boston Haterade to be hating on their clocks, son. -- nm - TFox, Loser-est Loser Apr 16, 08:36 13
  - If the clock is in Boston I hate it. - Krusty Apr 16, 08:45 10
    - I noticed you had Papi and remarked that it "wasn't right". - Mel Profit Apr 16, 08:50 9
      - I didn't want him but at the time I drafted him he was by far the best hitter left. - Krusty Apr 16, 08:54 8
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        You should tank a league one year by only drafting Sox players. - Krusty Apr 16, 09:03 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Nice! Keep up the good work. -- nm - Krusty Apr 16, 09:12
        
        I avoid Yankees players for the same reason... - Mel Profit Apr 16, 08:57 3
        
        It hurts to root for them to do well and it's just torture when the teams are playing each other. -- nm - Krusty Apr 16, 09:02 2
        
        What kills me is when you have the conflict of... - Mel Profit Apr 16, 09:07 1
        
        Yup. Those days you just root for your guy to get hits and keep his average up while not doing any real damage to the team you root for. - Krusty Apr 16, 09:15
  - i think Big K owns Papi in an FBB league. There's a vested interest. -- nm - Diva Apr 16, 08:39 1
    - Sadly I do. I went against my rule of not drafting any Sox players and this year I have two. Two! - Krusty Apr 16, 08:52
- Youk has plans this evening. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 16, 08:36
- Boston Marathon -- nm - znufrii Apr 16, 08:35 1

Re The Raven - prepare to be disappointed, although I know I didn't get most of the references so that may have diminished my enjoyment levels. - LMS Apr 16, 08:29 3
- I love " period" type movies and I really enjoy his movies - " Identity" was on the other day -- nm - Epiphany Apr 16, 08:41
- yeah, it does not interest me much. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 16, 08:30 1

I am not about to get heckled by a homeless dude. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 16, 08:28 6
- We have a social safety net which often saves "normals" from such fate - so our homeless situation is tilted toward those who fall through that net. - Beryllium Apr 16, 08:37
- you obviously don't see homeless people very often. :) -- nm - Andie Apr 16, 08:28 4
  - oh, I see plenty, they do not often heckle people though. - groiny Apr 16, 08:30 3
    - re your IM: be careful, that's also the signal for "wanna come home with me?" -- nm - colin Apr 16, 08:32 2
      - hey, if she cleans up well, that could work! nm -- nm - groiny Apr 16, 08:33
      - Groiny clearly has forgotten the hobo code. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 16, 08:32
Could Titanic 3D make another 750 mil worldwide? it could pass avatar. -- nm - ceregon Apr 16, 08:27 9
- [deleted] 8
  - it made 100 mil this weekend worldwide. I think the 3D version has 230 so far. -- nm - ceregon Apr 16, 08:41 7
    - If it keeps that drop going, it'll end up about $425mil. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 16, 08:45 6
      - [deleted] 5
        
        It's already done better than Lion King 3D. Plus the Intl scene has changed. It made more opening weekend in Russia than in its entire previous run. -- nm - ceregon Apr 16, 08:56 2
        
        but they added a scene where a nuke took out the ship. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 16, 08:58 1
        
        that's just in the Michael Bay segment of the Super 3D release -- nm - ceregon Apr 16, 08:59
