Yeah...so we finally got the word last Friday. the blind dog is finally gonna lose his left eye. - Jim Jun 25, 12:46 13
- Sounds like the best thing to do -- nm - amoxy Jun 25, 13:04 1

- While I hate to hear that, Hyde's one-eyed cat is the most awesome thing in the world. -- nm - David Jun 25, 12:51 4
  - People come to our house and instantly feel bad for him...he bumps into things and stuff. We're at a point now, where it's usually pretty funny. - Jim Jun 25, 13:08
  - Maybe they could go on adventures together! -- nm - prayformojo Jun 25, 12:52 2

    - oh (blush). Gracias :) -- nm - decline Jun 25, 12:43
I wanted to like Bunheads, but it was a bit too weve-already-been-down-this-road-before, from Kelly Bishop to both the lead and one of the Bunheads - prayformojo Jun 25, 12:17 21
- What is a Bunhead? - amoxy Jun 25, 12:19 2
  - ballet dancer - prayformojo Jun 25, 12:20 1
    - That's good to know. Cross"Bunhead" off th list -- nm - amoxy Jun 25, 12:22
- I never watched GG so this show is new and fun for me. -- nm - Diva Jun 25, 12:19 17

        ~cute bunny wrinkle nose smile~ I don't know how to play poker... - Mel Profit Jun 25, 12:42 2
        
        The amusing part was the way Sarah Rue hit on her the whole episode. -- nm - David Jun 25, 12:43 1
        
        "amusing" is one way to describe it. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 25, 12:43
      - Brilliant writing is brilliant writing. -- nm - David Jun 25, 12:32
    - and the words-per-minute ratio is craycray -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 12:29
    - i will never have time. i still haven't watched breaking bad or mad men yet. they're first. - Diva Jun 25, 12:26 6

        this -- nm - Diva Jun 25, 12:27 2
        
        and probably the Shield - Mel Profit Jun 25, 12:36 1
        
        I would say that he is better in Justified, but that's because he has more to do. - Reagen Jun 25, 12:57
  - Golden Girls? ;-) - Krusty Jun 25, 12:21
Can I get a Brave roundup? If you saw it this weekend, what was your grade? -- nm - prayformojo Jun 25, 12:14 14
- no. we stopped doing that 125 years ago -- nm - The Bureau of Indian Affairs Jun 25, 12:21
- I'll go ahead and give it an A. - Dr.Vermin Jun 25, 12:19 4
  - This was your daughter's first movie, right? - prayformojo Jun 25, 12:29 3
    - Indeed! She loved it. - Dr.Vermin Jun 25, 12:38 2
      - yay! -- nm - b. Jun 25, 12:55
      - :) -- nm - con_carne Jun 25, 12:41
- B-. I wasn't that crazy about La Luna either. -- nm - David Jun 25, 12:18 5
  - Really? - prayformojo Jun 25, 12:20 2
    - It's cute but there isn't a lot of meat to it. Also, a Locke & Key I had just read did a similar theme much better. -- nm - David Jun 25, 12:22 1
      - Interesting. I hadn't made the connection, but you are correct. - TWuG Jun 25, 12:25
  - is that the short before the movie? -- nm - Don Homer Jun 25, 12:20 1
    - Yes. -- nm - TWuG Jun 25, 12:20

Ten brands that will disappear in 2013... -- (link) - Don Homer Jun 25, 11:58 16
- #1 is completely wrong. Even if US Airways successfully buys AA (I'd say the odds are better than 50/50 they will succeed) they'll keep the AA brand. - ty97 Jun 25, 12:23 1
  - In fact, look at US's last 'merger'. America West bought US Airways. The America West management team kept the stronger brand name. - ty97 Jun 25, 12:25
- #8 is weird. -- nm - David Jun 25, 12:13 3
  - Yeah, it is. -- nm - Jim Jun 25, 12:20 2
    - we've known for a long time (here, anyway) that it was likely. the odd thing, to me, is that they still don't have anything decided. -- nm - b. Jun 25, 12:23 1
      - Please move to LA so they don't share the new 49er stadium -- nm - amoxy Jun 25, 12:26
- not all of those are such smart guesses. oh! did we discuss YSL maybe going away? this one definitely seems notsosmart to me. nm but -- (link) - b. Jun 25, 12:13
- How's their track record been the past few years? -- nm - nubby Jun 25, 12:11 3
  - Not that good. Most are not even that recognizable as 'brands'. Many from the past few years' predictions are still around. - GregW Jun 25, 12:18 1
    - My friend is *still* gainfully employed as a Blockbuster manager! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 25, 12:28
  - Doesn't matter. You click, they win :) -- nm - spamlet Jun 25, 12:11
- and Russell is not on the list :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( -- nm - peglegpete Jun 25, 12:09 1
  - Says you. -- nm - Katy Jun 25, 12:10
- Kodak is basically a brand in name only now -- nm - budice Jun 25, 12:00 2
  - I loved him in The Dirty Dozen. -- nm - Beaker Jun 25, 12:05
  - 17 cents a share! -- nm - decline Jun 25, 12:03
SITWAP: Facebook changed everyone's e-mails, time to change it back ST -- (link) - Magic MDH Jun 25, 11:52 28
- Argh. -- nm - lileve Jun 25, 12:15
- Facebook is so god damn dumb -- nm - Epiphany Jun 25, 12:09
- OMG. I recently put two relatives in touch with each other, one of whom uses email but not FB. - con_carne Jun 25, 12:01
- Unless I'm misunderstanding, why wouldn't you want them to show an @facebook.com email instead of your own personal? -- nm - JaxSean Jun 25, 11:56 24
  - this was my reaction also. People scream about privacy all the time and Facebook is obfuscating your email. I don't get the outrage in general -- nm - oblique Jun 25, 12:05 5
    - I don't share my e-mail on FB, but if I chose to, this would annoy me. - ty97 Jun 25, 12:21
    - I favor keeping facebook messaging separate from email. it assists in keeping spam under control -- nm - amanda Jun 25, 12:14
    - OMG! FACEBOOK CHANGED SOMETHING! PANIC! PANIC! THREATEN TO QUIT! -- nm - spamlet Jun 25, 12:11
    - I think it's mainly because FB just did it without asking or telling anyone. But then again, this shouldn't be new either with all the other crap they - sycor Jun 25, 12:06 1
      - I think they fail so often because they view Facebook user data as their data. "How do we leverage our data?" - TWuG Jun 25, 12:17
  - Because Facebook unilaterally decided that the Facebook email would be shown by default AND supplant your personal - TWuG Jun 25, 12:02 4
    - Not sure if anyone else noticed but at least on mine the @facebook.com email address is set to "Only Me" so it's not even visible -- nm - oblique Jun 25, 12:06 3
      - I have no @facebook listed at all. (I have nothing public.) -- nm - b. Jun 25, 12:21 1
        
        oh, it is there if I drill-down; but totally not a worry, woo. -- nm - b. Jun 25, 12:28
      - I think it went off whatever your other email was set as. So if that was public, the FB email would be public. -- nm - TWuG Jun 25, 12:18
  - I don't know if I let it show mine at all ... -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 11:58 10
    - "view [your] profile as" someone to check. (I love this feature. my privacy controls are so flipping tight because of it.) -- nm - amanda Jun 25, 12:15 5
      - It amuses me that G+ is sooo much easier to see what is shared and with whom than Facebook is. - TWuG Jun 25, 12:24 4
        
        I actually don't think this is the case. I think facebook is easier and more transparent. (certainly less confusing.) -- nm - amanda Jun 25, 12:32 3
        
        Unpossible. - TWuG Jun 25, 12:40 2
        
        fwiw, I agree with you. - b. Jun 25, 12:51 1
        
        Once you* realize that G+ isn't GoogleBook, then it's easier to see what it's good for. - TWuG Jun 25, 12:57
    - That question is moot now, in any case -- nm - con_carne Jun 25, 12:09
    - I am pretty sure I don't. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 12:07
    - this. I also won't give them my phone # or download their stupid app -- nm - sycor Jun 25, 11:59
    - This. -- nm - Magic MDH Jun 25, 11:58
  - depends on where you want emails to go to I guess -- nm - decline Jun 25, 11:57 1
    - it auto-forwards to your registered e-mail, doesn't it? -- nm - spamlet Jun 25, 12:11
That Republicorp thing on FB is hilarious. -- nm - David Jun 25, 11:50
"Episodes" and 'Weeds" season premiers are online a week early -- (link) - Magic MDH Jun 25, 11:44 2

ST Poll -- Lowes or Home Depot? Target or Walmat? IKEA or Crate & Barrel? Williams Sonoma or Pottery Barn? -- nm - znufrii Jun 25, 11:39 37
- lowes/loser...tarvwal are equally evil so sears (only midevil) and you left off costplus/world market...but to save money... - zeitgeist Jun 25, 12:53
- Lowes, Target, Ikea & Crate & Barrel, neither. -- nm - lileve Jun 25, 12:37
- Lowe's, neither, neither, never shopped in either. -- nm - Krusty Jun 25, 12:17
- Lowes, dont care, Ikea, neither. -- nm - kelly Jun 25, 12:12
- Home Depot, Target (usually, but Walmart if I want it cheap), IKEA, PB (but don't use either of the last two and only pick because you said to) -- nm - oblique Jun 25, 12:12
- lowes, target, meh, meh -- nm - tRuMaN (what?) Jun 25, 12:10
- Don't care, Target, Ikea, Neither. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 12:08
- Don't care, Target, don't care, don't care -- nm - amoxy Jun 25, 12:05
- Handyman. Target. Crate and Barrel taste but IKEA budget. What the who? -- nm - ty97 Jun 25, 12:05
- Lowes, Target, C&B, WS. Of the others, the only two I would ever willingly step into are HD and PB. -- nm - TWuG Jun 25, 12:04
- Home Depot (there are no Lowes around here so I can't compare). Target. Crate and Barrel, Williams Sonoma. -- nm - pmb Jun 25, 11:58
- Home Depot, WalMart, IKEA, Williams Sonoma -- nm - budice Jun 25, 11:58
- Home Depot, Walmart, n/a, n/a -- nm - Beaker Jun 25, 11:53
- Home Depot by a mile (hate Lowes), Target, IKEA, n/a. -- nm - Spawn Jun 25, 11:47 2
  - I share the hate for Lowes plus higher prices, less selection -- nm - budice Jun 25, 12:01 1
    - *ding* -- nm - Spawn Jun 25, 12:07
- Lowes, Target, ikea, Williams Sonoma -- nm - Don Homer Jun 25, 11:46
- Lowes, Target (Walmart is the worst place in the world), no preference, Williams Sonoma. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 25, 11:45 3
  - Target and WalMart are the same here in LA, WalMart offere better selection and prices. Especially in hardware,automotive, household goods -- nm - budice Jun 25, 12:03 2
    - Interesting. Walmarts here are dirty and gross. Prices might be better, but the shopping experience is so bad it's not worth it. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 25, 12:07 1
      - This. We have two and one is awful and the other is not bad but it's poorly lit. - TWuG Jun 25, 12:21
- Home Depot, Target a thousand times, neither, Williams Sonoma -- nm - David Jun 25, 11:42 5
  - Target a thousand times, but only because Walmart is so terrible. Target's customer service, in general, - Don Homer Jun 25, 11:50 4
    - I buy eveyrthing on the Red card. Bring it back, swipe card, good to go. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 25, 11:55
    - I think I've done one return in the past 5 years so customer service doesn't come up a lot for us. -- nm - David Jun 25, 11:51 2
      - I don't just mean returns. Their touchscreen card machines are terrible, and there's never an - Don Homer Jun 25, 11:54 1
        
        Yeah, I've never experienced anything like that there myself. They're usually quite good. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 25, 11:57
- Lowes, target, Ikea, No preference -- nm - Magic MDH Jun 25, 11:42
- Lowes, Target, Ikea, meh - too expensive. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 25, 11:41 4
  - I saw a great comedy bit once where the comedian said they didn't know WS sold anything beyond mixers. -- nm - Magic MDH Jun 25, 11:42 3
    - It's one of those places I've walked into a few times, said "ooh, that's nice...HOLY CRAP. I can get that cheaper on Amazon or at Target" and walked - JaxSean Jun 25, 11:46 2
      - You definitely can't get most of their stuff, particularly the good stuff, at Target. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 25, 11:47 1
        
        They just sell Kitchen Aid mixers, right? -- nm - JaxSean Jun 25, 11:54
- Lowes,Target, Ikea, Pottery Barn -- nm - Epiphany Jun 25, 11:41
