Bagel lovers, rejoice! New York City's iconic H&H Bagels is coming back to Manhattan -- (link) - zork Jul 26, 12:49
Well, this is new. Not our HOA (TG), but a neighboring found a suicide in their pool a little bit ago. - The Dark Spawn Jul 26, 12:48 3
- no, that's not why. -- nm - znufrii Jul 26, 12:57 1
  - Sweet. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 26, 12:59
- Nope. - Stephen Jul 26, 12:56
My first hearing of Frank Ocean's work is via Fresh Air today. He sounds like Prince + Seal. -- nm - Max Jul 26, 12:46 2
- Heh. I also heard it on Fresh Air. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 26, 12:55
- I just grabbed his famous mixtape this morning. I kind of love it. -- nm - world's most beautiful creature Jul 26, 12:47
I certainly can't even begin to think I can reasonably argue FF tactics with most of you - oblique Jul 26, 12:44 24
- Final Fantasy Tactics is one of my favorite games of all time. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Jul 26, 13:46
- I think you gave up a lot, to get back more than you needed. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 26, 12:56
- The key aspect is that in a keeper league draft, the higher draft picks are worth exponentially more than any below. - David Jul 26, 12:50 5
  - My trade with him was solidly in the 'making his team a possible contender *now*' mode. - The Dark Spawn Jul 26, 13:06 2
    - You're fooling anybody. -- nm - David Jul 26, 13:11 1
      - If you say so. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 26, 13:20
  - assuming you can pick - oblique Jul 26, 12:53 1
    - Pick 1-1 is going to be Trent Richardson, RG3 or Andrew Luck. You just pull a name out of a hat. -- nm - David Jul 26, 13:03
- And ML needs to go look at your post. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 26, 12:49
- Well, trading Forte to you was easily the longest deal I have been involved in, so thanks. - The Dark Spawn Jul 26, 12:46 13
  - Maybe I'd have been better off on paper doing just the 1-1 Forte trade with you and working on Jordy with Will and keeping 2-1 - oblique Jul 26, 12:50 12
    - This *should* be a great year for Johnson. I thought about trying to work him in but I figured you would keep the Forte/Johnson 1/2 punch. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 26, 13:02
    - If you want to better position yourself, I'm sure others would like Chris Johnson. I know I'd be interested in trading for him. -- nm - David Jul 26, 12:54 6
      - are you still interested in Ryan? -- nm - Reagen Jul 26, 13:12 1
        
        I'm more likely to trade a QB than acquire one prior to the draft. -- nm - David Jul 26, 13:14
      - and this is where my experience fails. Really, I feel better off having Johnson than thinking I could pick better at 1-4 or 2-4 trading with you - oblique Jul 26, 13:09 3
        
        Fair enough. The skill you need to develop is how to maximize the depth of your roster. - David Jul 26, 13:13 2
        
        Thanks. I've tried to look but really, it takes way too much constant effort to stay up to date on all the changes, etc. - oblique Jul 26, 13:15
        
        some people just do more legwork than others. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 26, 13:15
    - I'd rather be wrong holding onto a star than gambling on a prayer. - Will Hunting Jul 26, 12:53
    - I had offered to take Chris Johnson off your hands last year -- nm - crash davis Jul 26, 12:52 2
      - After I traded Johnson to him? - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 26, 13:02 1
        
        oh, maybe it was you -- nm - crash davis Jul 26, 13:03
- Final Fantasy? -- nm - eag Jul 26, 12:45
Okay, three trades down, one to go. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 26, 12:42 1
- :) - now with that trade in picks #93-100, I pick five times. I better get scouting the bottom of the dung heap -- nm - crash davis Jul 26, 12:47
More car questions. Do you agree with this list? Anything to add? - Dr.Vermin Jul 26, 12:38 16
- A. I dropped my subscription to CR because they charge more for web access even to use their search to find which mag has the needed article...wtf? b. - zeitgeist Jul 26, 12:59 3
  - a. their site says mobile access is included free with the subscription. This may be new. I will doublecheck before I pull the trigger. - Dr.Vermin Jul 26, 13:10 1
    - we dropped them a couple years ago, but mainly because of that. (I dropped Auto club when they started multi teir memberships too) -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 26, 13:39
  - Hmm. Well, yeah, I'm not expecting to get full blue-book value. - Dr.Vermin Jul 26, 13:03
- If you're looking at new cars, I guess you want CR's new car buying guide. We don't have the 2012 yet, but maybe your library does. Does their site -- (link) - mara Jul 26, 12:52 5
  - Thanks for this. - Dr.Vermin Jul 26, 12:56 4
    - mara gets thanks, I get called toots. -- nm - loosilu Jul 26, 12:57 3
      - Mara gave an suggestion *and* a link along with her question! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 26, 13:04 2
        
        tru didn't! -- nm - loosilu Jul 26, 13:05 1
        
        You're right. You have suffered greatly, and needlessly. - Dr.Vermin Jul 26, 13:17
- why not just go to the library to read CR? -- nm - loosilu Jul 26, 12:44 2
  - I'm askin' the questions here, toots. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 26, 12:45 1
    - oh snap, no you did'int -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 26, 12:45
- there is an outback 4 door sedan, by the way. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 26, 12:40 1
  - Solid point. Thank you! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 26, 12:45
- on the second question, i do not believe they do. - tRuMaN Jul 26, 12:40

  - Musically it's not as in your face fantastic as Fantasies was but her voice and lyrics are in as fine form -- nm - rollo Jul 26, 12:43 1
    - OTOH, I had the title track bouncing around in my head for about 3 days. - Reagen Jul 26, 12:45

  - Consider yourself lucky. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 26, 12:42 1
    - I think it's an interesting failure. -- nm - Reagen Jul 26, 12:46
  - haven't seen that either -- nm - znufrii Jul 26, 12:39 2

My recent college grad coworker doesn't know the difference between ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and their brands. What age did you learn the difference? -- nm - Max Jul 26, 12:24 15
- I never really paid much attention to the difference until I was put on blood thinners... - MojaveMeg Jul 26, 12:34
- when you heard tylenol and alcohol don't mix -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 26, 12:32
- enh, i was probably in university. i had no reason to pay attention really. -- nm - Andie Jul 26, 12:27 4
  - actually, that may not be true, i would have known the difference between aspirin and tylenol and what was what, but not the lesser known brands. -- nm - Andie Jul 26, 12:28 3
