boston.com Love Letters: His Dad Cheated - Diva Sep 4, 07:27 14
- beotches be crazy -- nm - Epiphany Sep 4, 07:36
- Princess, the world doesn't revolve around you. If your guy suddenly questioned his fidelity because daddy strayed, that's between you and him; - Will Hunting Sep 4, 07:32 7
  - to be honest, my dad was cheating on my mom since I was 7. - groiny Sep 4, 07:37 6
    - fair enough, but your dad didn't owe an explanation to your wife. -- nm - loosilu Sep 4, 07:44 5
      - Different aspects -- I'm talking the fear of the guy. - Will Hunting Sep 4, 07:47 1
        
        yeah, I was wondering about that. this guy didn't discover it until recently. Groiny grew up with it as an example. -- nm - loosilu Sep 4, 07:50
      - well, no. But it does in fact, play with your mind, which was kind of my point. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 4, 07:47 2
        
        I can totally understand that. -- nm - loosilu Sep 4, 07:49 1
        
        also the fact, that I was never faithful to any girlfriend that I ever had - groiny Sep 4, 07:50

    - there's your answer. -- nm - loosilu Sep 4, 07:53
    - mmmm, salt and pepper winter beard. -- nm - amanda Sep 4, 07:48
- That's actually one reason I've kept mine. - spamlet Sep 4, 07:29
- I shaved my mustache once. I didn't recognize myself. I avoided mirrors as much as I could until it grew back in. - CovingtonCat Sep 4, 07:29
- I find most people look younger without the facial hair. I have a client who had a moustache for 20 years, got divorced and shaved it off. He looks - pmb Sep 4, 07:29
- thats the reaction i always get too though. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 4, 07:28 1
  - normally, it is that I look much less intimidating. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 4, 07:29
- We had a guy at my old project who shaved his moustache and went from looking 35 to 12. - Will Hunting Sep 4, 07:25

I have never heard of an apple waking someone up -- nm - ty97 Sep 4, 07:23 3
- Some study showed that while an apple does not have as much caffeine as coffee or soda - decline Sep 4, 07:34 1
  - I heard this years ago. If you're wanting to reduce your soda/pop intake... - zork Sep 4, 07:47
- maybe if you throw it at their head. -- nm - loosilu Sep 4, 07:23

My weekend movies... - Mel Profit Sep 4, 07:19 35
- C-? -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 4, 07:22 31
  - there was nothing new to it. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 4, 07:23 29
    - Sure, but it's a Mission: Impossible movie. Like with a Bond movie, you have to judge it by how it plays with the formula. - Roger More Sep 4, 07:29 21
      - there's formula and then there's The Hangover II and MI:4. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 4, 07:33 11
        
        I just gave two examples of where MI:4 differed from the formula established in the earlier movies. - Roger More Sep 4, 07:42 2
        
        I'll give you that the team of MI:3 would have eaten the lunch of the team in MI:4. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 4, 07:46 1
        
        they wouldn't have bothered drinking their milkshake, they just would have thrown it in their faces and laughed. -- nm - Diva Sep 4, 07:48
        
        Except that one was the worst movie of the year and the other was the best. - David Sep 4, 07:36 7
        
        I didn't hate MI:4 - Mel Profit Sep 4, 07:38 6
        
        and not to nitpick but it's still a plot hole if you know it's a plot hole, admit it and try and talk your way out of it. - Mel Profit Sep 4, 07:44 4
        
        I don't know what you are referencing. -- nm - David Sep 4, 07:46 3
        
        (spoilers) - Mel Profit Sep 4, 07:51 2
        
        That's a plot hole? I think it's more a turn of events you didn't find believable. -- nm - David Sep 4, 07:56 1
        
        you know I'm right. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 4, 07:57
        
        and guys guys guys...Robot and Frank. See it. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 4, 07:39
      - they kinda lost me with the sandstorm climb building scene. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 4, 07:30 8
        
        I literally lost interest with the rest of the movie after that. - Mel Profit Sep 4, 07:34 2
        
        yeah, I did not like MI 1 or MI 2, but MI 3 made me go "OOH!!!" and this one was a dud IMO. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 4, 07:35 1
        
        I liked MI:3 a lot. -- nm - Diva Sep 4, 07:38
        
        That's one of the better action sequences I've ever seen on film. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 4, 07:32 4
        
        THIS -- nm - MDH Sep 4, 07:51
        
        that was one of the first WTF scenes in either of the good MI movies - groiny Sep 4, 07:34 2
        
        I loved it in the way that it was an impossible gadget that didn't seem impossible - Will Hunting Sep 4, 07:36 1
        
        ironically, I literally saw something on a defense blog after the movie that Darpa is working on something very similar. - Mel Profit Sep 4, 07:40
    - I liked the movie, but I agree that the bad guy was meh -- nm - Guigue Sep 4, 07:27 3
      - I do not even remember the bad guy. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 4, 07:28 2
