STIS: when painting a bathroom, is there a certain amount of time you have to wait before using the shower? Is it only until the paint dries? 24 hrs? - kelly Jun 11, 11:16 18

You know it's a good day when you can delve into the condensed commentaries on the OECD model income and capital tax treaty. - spamlet Jun 11, 10:56 11
- yeah - I have no idea what ANY of this is ... but if you're happy - I'm happy :) -- nm - JenBro Jun 11, 10:59 6
  - Trust me, you're lucky for that :) -- nm - spamlet Jun 11, 11:02 5
    - if I have learned nothing else in life, it is this - JenBro Jun 11, 11:04 4
      - cept spamlet isnt talking about IT stuff. - tRuMaN (CPA, representing ST) Jun 11, 11:04 3
        
        oh ... is it math? 'cause I don't know crap about that either :) -- nm - JenBro Jun 11, 11:23 2
        
        Worse yet, tax. -- nm - spamlet Jun 11, 11:27 1
        
        ugh ... that is worse - JenBro Jun 11, 11:33

        effin' ponderous Cello Players, man. - Mel Profit Jun 11, 11:15
        
        awesome! -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 11:00
        
        This is sooooo cool! -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 11, 10:58
    - Sadly, no. My kids have opening night of their Godspell performance (Thu-Sun at 7pm) - oblique Jun 11, 10:54 22
      - OH! Godspell was the very first record of my very own that I owned (I got a lot of "duplicates" from siblings collections) - it came from someone I - JenBro Jun 11, 10:58 15
        
        yep. I did too. heh. -- nm - Diva Jun 11, 11:00
        
        and to think it took 30 years to get the writer in my backseat! - CrankYanker Jun 11, 10:59 13
        
        COOL!!! Did you break into "Day by Day" ? (I love that song) - JenBro Jun 11, 11:01 7
        
        *checks score* - oblique Jun 11, 11:03 3
        
        so hey - what parts are your kids playing anyway? do they get to SING Day by Day? -- nm - JenBro Jun 11, 11:06 2
        
        My son is playing "Herb" and sings/solos on "Learn Your Lessons Well". My daughter is "Camilla" and solos on "On The Willows" -- nm - oblique Jun 11, 11:10 1
        
        both of them solo? wow ... that's very brave :) you must be so proud of them! -- nm - JenBro Jun 11, 11:25
        
        *giggles some more* yes, it's 'nearly' (after 'clearly' and 'dearly') -- nm - Diva Jun 11, 11:02 2
        
        oh yah - the clearly and dearly were a given ... but nearly just always made me pause - JenBro Jun 11, 11:05 1
        
        There's a gospel song with 'nearer to thee" in the lyrics so I never thought twice about it. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 11, 11:19
        
        he came to my college when we were mounting a production of one of his lesser known musicals (Rags). -- nm - Diva Jun 11, 11:01 4
        
        ditto, except it was Children of Eden -- nm - znufrii (10 days) Jun 11, 11:07 3
        
        i think it's cool that he does that. -- nm - Diva Jun 11, 11:11 2
        
        he seemed a bit standoffish when he was there, iirc. John Caird also come to one of the performances and was much more engaging. -- nm - znufrii (10 days) Jun 11, 11:13 1
        
        Charles Strouse was there as well during Rags and he was friendlier. I didn't mind Schwartz's sort of standoffish-ness/intensity. - Diva Jun 11, 11:16
      - that's very cool. such a good show. - Diva Jun 11, 10:55 5
        
        My wife suggested you come out and sign with her at our church - oblique Jun 11, 10:58 3
        
        not that I don't think Diva signing wouldn't be cool - but from what I've read on ST - I think you'd rather have her sing right? -- nm - JenBro Jun 11, 10:58 1
        
        *giggle* -- nm - Diva Jun 11, 11:01
        
        s/sign/sing/sigh -- nm - oblique Jun 11, 10:58
        
        one of the best medleys we did in band -- nm - zork Jun 11, 10:58
  - both of you - oblique Jun 11, 10:53 1
    - neither of you. - tRuMaN (CPA, representing ST) Jun 11, 10:54
retina macbook pro starting at $2200 -- nm - Don Homer Jun 11, 10:43 3
- That's why better than I thought. Maybe I could convince work I need a new laptop... -- nm - spamlet Jun 11, 10:44 2
  - Some of the numbers being thrown around were in the $4000 range. $2200 is a whole lot more reasonable. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Jun 11, 10:56 1
    - they're going for market share at that price. -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 10:57
"By not purchasing standard parts, we can create a product that's more elegant and more efficient." - spamlet Jun 11, 10:40
Jeb Bush 2016? -- (link) - znufrii (10 days) Jun 11, 10:40 29
- if Romney wins I think the GOP goes even further nutbag. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 10:43 27
  - I'm waiting for the GOP to split in half. -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 11:00 7
    - It would just be a shift of people from one party to another, just like the Reagan Democrats eventually just moved over to the GOP. -- nm - spamlet Jun 11, 11:23
    - It would be nice to have a viable third party in America. -- nm - Spawn Jun 11, 11:15 5
      - it would be. - znufrii (10 days) Jun 11, 11:23 1
        
        Kucenish!!! -- nm - Spawn Jun 11, 11:25
      - See, I think a "third party" is mythical fool's gold. I'd like to see about 5 or 6 major parties. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 11, 11:16 2
        
        will never happen absent a complete restructuring of our electoral system. -- (link) - znufrii (10 days) Jun 11, 11:25 [youtube]
        
        Well, you have to have three to get to four, and four to get to five, and five to get to six! -- nm - Spawn Jun 11, 11:21
  - that is a possibility as well, of course - znufrii (10 days) Jun 11, 10:53
  - I think that will happen regardless of what happens in November. - Roger More Jun 11, 10:47 6
    - Maybe, but that scares me much less. And at some point, there needs to be a tipping point and more in the party will try to "right" the ship a la Jeb - Don Homer Jun 11, 10:48 5
      - I agree, but I honestly thought that tipping point would come before this election. I've been thinking about whether this parallels with the Dems in - Roger More Jun 11, 11:00
      - except, and maybe i read this wrong, Jeb seems to be bending more towards the "loons" - tRuMaN (CPA, representing ST) Jun 11, 10:52 3
        
        No - he's saying things like Reagan and Bush Sr. worked across party lines, that he would accept some tax increases as part of a package of spending - Roger More Jun 11, 11:05 1
        
        all that is true, and yet, - tRuMaN (CPA, representing ST) Jun 11, 11:11
        
        I see him as calling them out. - Reagen Jun 11, 11:00
  - Not debating, just asking your perception. To me, Romney strikes me as a moderate pandering to the hardcore base. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Jun 11, 10:46 8
    - Remember that he will only be as moderate as the GOP in Congress. - TWuG Jun 11, 10:50
    - I don't think that is an inaccurate perception, but his willingness to pander says more about how he will approach governing than his "moderate" views - znufrii (10 days) Jun 11, 10:49 4
      - There's no better way for the GOP to blow themselves up entirely than to go full on Tea Party at all levels. - Mop (199 lbs) Jun 11, 10:52 3
        
        unless it works and the country gets better. -- nm - tRuMaN (CPA, representing ST) Jun 11, 10:55 2
        
        "Hmm. My dishwasher isn't working as well as it used to. Maybe if I shoot it with my shotgun it will work right!" -- nm - Don Homer Jun 11, 10:57 1
        
        isnt there entire sections of the internet supporting this train of thought - tRuMaN (CPA, representing ST) Jun 11, 11:01
    - It doesn't matter what he is in his heart (assuming he has one). It's what he does. How far does he go to pander? - Don Homer Jun 11, 10:48 1
      - I am not so sure. He could end up being like Scott Brown. maybe? -- nm - Jovian Jun 11, 10:50
  - right. Scares me to death. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 11, 10:43 1
    - and if he loses too. - Reagen Jun 11, 10:51
- Just another Republican saying what anyone with brains already knows. Bowing to ideology is crippling the party. - Mop (199 lbs) Jun 11, 10:42
Bill Murray is awesome, and goes slip and sliding during a baseball rain delay -- (link) - MDH Jun 11, 10:39 15
- Ive kind of soured on Murray as he has gotten older - eag Jun 11, 10:44 12
  - He's a fascinating combination of cool and douchebag... - Ender Jun 11, 11:18 1
    - Well, he is no Chevy Chase! -- nm - Spawn Jun 11, 11:32
  - I get the opposite impression. He seems like a lot of fun now. - Krusty Jun 11, 10:53 3
    - I agree with all of this. If I were a celebrity I might use this as a model. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 11, 10:57 2
      - I love that you leave a viocemail for him and if he likes your pitch/idea/charity golf tourney he'll call you back. - Krusty Jun 11, 11:02 1
        
        *voicemail* -- nm - Krusty Jun 11, 11:08
  - You don't become a prick when you get older, it's just that you don't give a rat's ass anymore. ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 11, 10:50
  - go stand in the corner and think about what you just said! -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 10:45 4
    - I stand by what I said ! -- nm - eag Jun 11, 10:47 3
      - two hours! and a 5 page paper on why you're wrong! - Remlik Jun 11, 10:58 2
        
        daaang ... Remlik's strict! -- nm - JenBro Jun 11, 11:03 1
        
        He dont scare me - eag Jun 11, 11:04
- I *heart* that they played the snoopy song! that's my FAVORITE :) -- nm - JenBro Jun 11, 10:42
- "Human Corgi"... yeah, that's a good comment. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 10:42
*dangles off of B2* -- nm - Beaker Jun 11, 10:39
