- vintage wedding rings & their history are NOT a good subject with me - peglegpete Jul 16, 12:16
- she's is such a rookie - you work the angle of: I need my own special ring - so we can start our own pass down tradition - Pippy & her thoughts Jul 16, 12:09 2

- wait, "This wedding ring is forever used, tainted, and disgusting. Hey BIL, want to use it when you get married?" -- nm - Max Jul 16, 11:58
- who cares about the ring? the bigger issue is that he was engaged prev and never told you. - amanda Jul 16, 11:58 2
  - is the BIL a doorman? -- nm - Max Jul 16, 12:03
  - slipped his mind -- nm - the human tater tot Jul 16, 11:58

If I had to go do training, would you say Sept 11 through 13 would be good? In... maybe... - Mop (199 lbs) Jul 16, 11:45 12
- I have to say, not that I put much weight behind it, but I don't think I would *ever* fly on Sept 11 again. Ever. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 16, 11:47 11
  - no qualms here - znufrii Jul 16, 12:13
  - 1.) Respect for those that died on 9/11. 2). As I think about those that died, the last place I would want to be is on a plane. - The Dark Spawn Jul 16, 12:02
  - I have flown on it. Didn't bother me at all. -- nm - spamlet Jul 16, 11:50
  - meh. even *if* something ever happened on that date again, the chance of it being your exact flight are slight. -- nm - zork Jul 16, 11:50 3
    - That is only a part of it. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 16, 11:53
    - "slight" = f*ck that noise. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 16, 11:52 1
      - but that's on top of the slight odds of anything happening on that day in the first place. odds are worse if you stay in town and drive anywhere -- nm - zork Jul 16, 11:53
  - Given that training starts at 8am, I'm guessing I'd fly on Sept. 10th. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Jul 16, 11:50 1
    - okay - go for it -- nm - Pippy & her thoughts Jul 16, 11:51
  - I would never. not ever. -- nm - Pippy & her thoughts Jul 16, 11:50

Max, here's an article about Bain under Romney's direct control (through 1999). I also think the attacks that focus on Bain through 2002 - TWuG Jul 16, 11:39 6
- It's contradictory, sure, but the ads make it sound like the biggest crime ever. The argument against Romney should be the future, not his resume - Max Jul 16, 11:56 4
  - Romney is *running on* his resume. That makes his resume fair game. - TWuG Jul 16, 12:05
  - as politically odious as it is, it doesn't have a patch on the birthers, who created their objections to Obama from whole cloth. - znufrii Jul 16, 12:00 2
    - leading with a weak argument is leading with a weak argument, is my point. -- nm - Max Jul 16, 12:03 1
      - *puts wall in front of Max* - spamlet Jul 16, 12:05
- Last week, Mark Shields said that President Romney would be good at closing tax loopholes. Because if there's anyone knows about tax loopholes... -- nm - con_carne Jul 16, 11:52
sandusky's been abusing little boys since before many of us were born. -- nm - amanda Jul 16, 11:38 9
- I guess I just figured this. Like the defense said, people don't start abusing kids in their 50s. -- nm - spamlet Jul 16, 11:45 6
  - I don't buy that "don't start abusing in your 50's" bullshit. So much of it comes down to opportunity and power to get away with it -- nm - Beaker Jul 16, 11:48 2
    - You missed that I turned it around on the defense. - spamlet Jul 16, 11:50 1
      - I see that now (still don't buy their argument though either :) ) -- nm - Beaker Jul 16, 11:50
  - How long has his wife been justifying his behavior -- nm - amoxy Jul 16, 11:47 2
    - I know. she's guilty too. everyone knew. they had to have. -- nm - amanda Jul 16, 11:50
    - Justifying or turning a blind eye. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 16, 11:48
- *throws up in his mouth a little bit* -- nm - znufrii Jul 16, 11:41 1
  - Not on the goods, kid -- nm - Jerry Sandusky Jul 16, 11:41

So if I got a $5.9 million loan at 1.05%, hid it under my bed for 30 years and then paid it back, I would have *made* money? -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Jul 16, 11:33 13
- This is a good example of smart people getting too tricksy with money. The theoretical and the actual are not the same. - David Jul 16, 11:43
- yes. - znufrii Jul 16, 11:35 3
  - no. - Andie Jul 16, 12:06 2
    - but he would be able to sell the bed and just sleep on the money. -- nm - znufrii Jul 16, 12:06 1
      - Step 3: Profit! -- nm - znufrii Jul 16, 12:06
- Oh, under the bed. No. If you put it somewhere to earn the rate of inflation, yes. -- nm - spamlet Jul 16, 11:35 1
  - are you guaranteed to earn that, ever? -- nm - zork Jul 16, 11:55
- Yes, as long as inflation is greater than 1.05%. - spamlet Jul 16, 11:34 5
  - No one look under my bed. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Jul 16, 11:35 2
    - I am sure there is more action under it, than on it. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 16, 11:35 1
      - So am I. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Jul 16, 11:44
  - I don't think his mattress pays interest. -- nm - Max Jul 16, 11:34 1

so we went to duffy's this weekend for onion rings. I don't know if we've ever talked about duffy's rings before, but oh my god. they were *so* good. - amanda Jul 16, 11:28 23
- I hate onion rings. Have I said this here before? yuck -- nm - CQ Jul 16, 11:31 20
  - I like them, they are usually too expensive for the amount you get -- nm - amoxy Jul 16, 11:34 2
    - Yes. Fries are usually better at filling up the belly. -- nm - con_carne Jul 16, 11:55 1
      - a study not long ago said that they (fries) are also the best at filling *out* your belly. -- nm - zork Jul 16, 11:57
  - me too,. -- nm - znufrii Jul 16, 11:33 1
    - y'all crazy nm -- nm - groiny Jul 16, 11:33
  - homade, in a cayenne pepper bread crumb coating..... - groiny Jul 16, 11:32 13
    - how do you homemake them? I bet joyce would try this. (we *love* onion rings. -- nm - amanda Jul 16, 11:37 12
      - you can actually do them in the oven on a heavily oiled sheet, so not deep fried. (sample recipe linked) - Andie Jul 16, 12:08
      - by "cooking" and using things in the "kitchen." -- nm - JaxSean Jul 16, 11:49 2
        
        this weekend someone was looking for room in my fridge for beer. "there's too much perfume in here! there's no room for beer!" - amanda Jul 16, 12:06 1
        
        why is there perfume in your fridge? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 16, 12:13
      - They sell small deep fryers for home kitchens. - Stephen Jul 16, 11:41 5
        
        I had to throw mine away. Wasn't using it and left the oil in there - amoxy Jul 16, 11:48
        
        they also sell small fire engines for when amanda tries to use one in hers -- nm - the human tater tot Jul 16, 11:43
        
        I have one and love it. It's a bitch to keep clean though. Homemade mozzarella sticks are awesome! -- nm - Krusty Jul 16, 11:42 2
        
        Oh, yes, mozzarella sticks are another thing on the list because the boys love them! - Stephen Jul 16, 11:47 1
        
        Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 16, 12:12

  - there was so much beer in the batter that they tasted like beer. it was *gross.* -- nm - amanda Jul 16, 11:35
pixie shows up, and JenBro disappears? -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 16, 11:26 6
- a magician never reveals his secrets -- nm - the human tater tot Jul 16, 11:27 2
  - (hint: it's kidnapping.) -- nm - Max Jul 16, 11:27 1
    - and you're my next "volunteer" -- nm - the human tater tot Jul 16, 11:36
- That's too bad. I was hoping that JenBro would post the photograph I sent her. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Jul 16, 11:27 2
