        Click on your post gave me an ad for Trade Perfect (132.15% in 3 months!). -- nm - mara Jan 30, 14:55
- well that did it - Watch the L word and United State of Tara -- nm - Epiphany Jan 30, 14:25
- come on - 3.5% is a decent enough rate at the moment -- nm - Roger More, conspiracy theorist Jan 30, 14:25
i dont understand this (Bery) ad - why target Republicans for Grant money? -- (link) - Guy Jan 30, 14:19 5
- Republicans are opposed to gov't handouts... unless the handout goes to them. - Mop Jan 30, 14:40
- Grant was a Republican. Duh. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Jan 30, 14:20 1
  - But that was back when Republicans got more than 8% of the black vote. - Will Hunting Jan 30, 14:21

Steelers 37, Cardinals 17. - Will Hunting Jan 30, 14:18 14
- You see Pittsburgh scoring their third highest total in the SB? - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 30, 14:56
- I dont see the Steelers scoring that much. 21-10 Steelers -- nm - eag Jan 30, 14:21 12
  - The Cards' time of possession is going to be depressing, when they realize they can't run and are passing all day. - TFox Jan 30, 14:23 1
    - Yeah, Warner might throw 50 times in this game. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 30, 14:25
  - Super Bowls that don't involve the Patriots tend to not be close games. - Will Hunting Jan 30, 14:22 9
    - according to yesterday's line, Steelers are a 6 1/2 point favorite -- nm - peglegpete Jan 30, 14:34 8
      - I love that line. This Cardinals team got beat in 3 of it's last 5 games by 20+ - Will Hunting Jan 30, 14:40 7
        
        They've scored 30 points and won 4 straight games - Stewie, GWB Survivor Jan 30, 14:49 2
        
        We'll see Sunday. - Will Hunting Jan 30, 14:52 1
        
        I like the Steelers by less than 7 -- nm - Stewie, GWB Survivor Jan 30, 14:54
        
        That can't be true, considering they've won their last 4 games. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 30, 14:47 3
        
        Playoffs don't count - Will Hunting Jan 30, 14:51 2

- I was on a jury last year through county superior court. Don't mind it. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 30, 14:43
I might be getting disillusioned with Quicken. Are there alternatives? -- nm - ty97 Jan 30, 14:17 14
- what do you use quicken for? -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 30, 14:22 1
  - Very general. Account/transaction tracking, with categorization of spend for use in budget vs actual. - ty97 Jan 30, 14:23
- depends on what you need it for. mint.com does the trick for me. -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 14:18 7
  - That's not really apple/apples though. Mint.com lacks some basic money management features when comparing it to Quicken -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Jan 30, 14:19 6
    - such as? -- nm - ty97 Jan 30, 14:24 4
      - Unless I'm mistaken, it doesn't deal with checking accounts at all. -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Jan 30, 14:24 3
        
        I have my checking account on there just fine. -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 14:25 2
        
        Hmm. I thought there was something basic that it lacked. I guess maybe it's improved too over time -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Jan 30, 14:27 1
        
        the only problem I've had was with the initial costs of investments, etc. - znufrii Jan 30, 14:30
    - this is true, which is why I prefaced my recommendation. -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 14:20
- Microsoft Money -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Jan 30, 14:18 3
  - for the Mac? :) -- nm - ty97 Jan 30, 14:22 2

  - We have a national anti-apostrophe standard? I was never notified. -- nm - TFox Jan 30, 14:17 1
    - Ill forward you the memo -- nm - Stacy si Jan 30, 14:18
  - they're all fucking dipthongs, that's what they are. "Do you have anything to declare?" - Beryllium Jan 30, 14:17 2
    - bills bery a buck for the *uck -- nm - zeitgeist for dogs Jan 30, 14:29 1
      - i just dont understand some peoples abuse of the apostrophe. ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 14:38
  - well, sure, in YOUR nation. -- nm - Andie Jan 30, 14:17 2
    - I assumed because I lived in Alabama as a kid -- nm - zeitgeist for dogs Jan 30, 14:21
    - then again, we've got Quebec's Bill 101 - Reagen Jan 30, 14:18
broken bones by rev theory is a decent song. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 30, 14:11

  - stop eating anything you ever liked - zeitgeist for dogs Jan 30, 14:16 1
    - *starts eating dirt* it's the only thing left -- nm - Epiphany Jan 30, 14:24

  - Or a nightmare :) -- nm - eag Jan 30, 14:11 1
    - maybe for you. I just have to avoid the temptation of killing them. I should just pick on crash some more. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 30, 14:12
So im taking my adventures from the wastelands of DC to Albion - eag Jan 30, 14:05 17

    - I played fable one for a while, but I never got into it - tRuMaN Jan 30, 14:09 2
      - so is Fable2 much better than Fable1? - tRuMaN Jan 30, 14:23 1
        
        scads better. - znufrii Jan 30, 14:27
    - Do you own like all the buildings now? -- nm - eag Jan 30, 14:08 6
      - a fair amount of them yes....I never did until I finshed but there is a lot of money to be earned this way - J Jan 30, 14:10 5
        
        Do you have to rent it out - eag Jan 30, 14:12 4
        
        you have to assign it as a rental property -- nm - J Jan 30, 14:16 3
        
        but then you accumulate the money automatically, you don't have to go back and pick it up. - znufrii Jan 30, 14:17
        
        One thing I like that I read is that you continue to collect rent and money even if your not playing -- nm - eag Jan 30, 14:17 1
        
        yep it's great....log on after 6 days and you have a nice little sum -- nm - J Jan 30, 14:35
  - I believe I have already recommended it on ST more than once. Fable 2 is a great game, but requires a real time commitment - Mr. Havens Jan 30, 14:08 1
    - well, I am not around much, so I am sure I missed it. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 30, 14:09

True confession: I have everlasting love for Sarah McLachlan's earliest (ie. Canadian) stuff. "Vox" and "Into the Fire" are great songs. - Mop Jan 30, 14:04 10
- I am fan of her early stuff like Ben's Song & Path of Thorns. She does a version of Gloomy Sunday on a single CD that I have and a rather obscure - HdnAgnda Jan 30, 14:15
- I think I just realized why I enjoy those songs so much. She was 20 when she recorded those songs and looks very much like Anne Hathaway in the video. - Mop Jan 30, 14:11

  - If they played the Hot Dog Dance, I would go bananas. -- nm - TFox Jan 30, 14:06
