we should roll. -- nm - amanda Nov 19, 09:55
someone on my freecycle is offereing a TV. A broken one, low def. "It's heavy so it will take - loosilu Nov 19, 09:48 2
- But if they took it to the dump then they'd have to find 2 people to move it. -- nm - Ender Nov 19, 09:49 1
  - exactly. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:50
hope this isn't a repost (sitmop): Dear Prudence - Should I Invite My Secret Half-Sister to Thanksgiving Dinner? - Diva Nov 19, 09:34 15
- Invite her and tell your parents beforehand that she wants to come, and that they're welcome to come as well. -- nm - Loyola Nov 19, 09:57

- Time and place: It may be time, but Thanksgiving Dinner is not the place. And Mom is going to be pissed - TWuG Nov 19, 09:40

- If it is, I'm sure there will be a clever riposte to your repost (but this isn't it) -- nm - Was Bar Was Nov 19, 09:37
- Well that would be one Turkey Day everyone would remember. Hope you have plenty of wine -- nm - CQ Nov 19, 09:37
- Stop the secret-telling, sure. But Thanksgiving is an awful time to do it. -- nm - ty97 Nov 19, 09:36 5
  - Yeah, no reason to make it a big dramatic event. Tell your mom privately the day or two before. -- nm - nubby Nov 19, 09:56
  - It depends. If Thanksgiving is just the parents and would add the half-sister then I don't think it matters. The issue will be confronted some time. - pmb Nov 19, 09:54 1
    - Even if it's only the immediate group, it probably shouldn't be sprung on "mom" that way. (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 09:56
  - Agreed. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 09:41
  - there's no good time. you have to trust me on this. why not now? -- nm - amanda Nov 19, 09:40

- Bears D should be good for 12 points by itself against that QB. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 19, 09:26 2
  - I would be willing to bet the 2 Def's will score more than the 2 Off's -- nm - amoxy Nov 19, 09:28 1
    - at least the Bears have some track record at backup QB. - groiny Nov 19, 09:30
- I'd definitely take the under -- nm - prayformojo Nov 19, 09:24

- That's a lame price for the 4GB, especially for BF. -- nm - Shaun Nov 19, 09:42
- What is "Skylanders"? -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 09:18 9
  - My youngest is big into the Skylanders. It's a phenomenal money maker. You buy the game and the "portal"...then you have to buy Skylanders. - Jim Nov 19, 09:25
  - Inagine if you could use action figures and u can play those action figures in a game - eag Nov 19, 09:25
  - That which I am glad my kids avoided -- nm - oblique Nov 19, 09:24
  - Remember Spyro the Dragon, an old PS2 video game character? Yeah... he got viral. -- nm - Mop on Macbook Air Nov 19, 09:22 2
    - heh, that was what it looked like when I googled! Question, do all x-boxes have hdmi now? - Spawn Nov 19, 09:23 1
      - No joke. It's based on Spyro. And, yeah, I'm pretty certain of the HDMI. -- nm - Mop on Macbook Air Nov 19, 09:25
  - It is literally like crack cocaine for my two nephews - Jovian Nov 19, 09:21

- I remember moving to VA and being shocked by the personal property tax. - Dr.Vermin Nov 19, 09:36 2
  - yeah, I just paid that. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:38 1
    - If I'm googling correctly, it looked like VA's PPT was enacted in 1782. I wonder if anyone has successfully introduced such a tax in the last 50 yrs. - Dr.Vermin Nov 19, 09:42
- You would need a tax of 6% on that 58T to get our 3.5T budget. - Will Hunting Nov 19, 09:22 1
  - hadn't figured out the exact math, but yeah. - znufrii Nov 19, 09:39

    - ah, was wondering why is wasn't on this weekend -- nm - znufrii Nov 19, 09:45
  - yep. - Mel Profit Nov 19, 09:13

oooh, new work computer by end of day or first thing tomorrow. - Andie Nov 19, 09:03
What are the chances that Romney's gift line was a calculated move to allow the rest of the GOP to denounce the statement? -- nm - ty97 Nov 19, 09:02 6
- I don't think so. It fits in more with the entitlement/taking losing hard narrative. It's disappointing too, because... - Roger More Nov 19, 09:26
- It was the truest thing he's said in years. - Mel Profit Nov 19, 09:08
- 1%. He's not that good a politician and he's not nearly over the result enough to be that strategic. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 19, 09:04 2
  - this. -- nm - znufrii Nov 19, 09:08
  - Agreed. He and strategy rarely resided on the same continent. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 09:08
- Psst... you're starting to think like them! -- nm - nubby Nov 19, 09:03
ok, so i was going to take off wednesday because they are going to be replacing stuff at my house, but they just called - tRuMaN Nov 19, 08:58 1

- this morning. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:21

- I do that with Powerade all the time. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 09:02
- Last night, a bedtime swig of milk. -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 09:00 1
  - this, although I have not had milk in weeks. - groiny Nov 19, 09:01
- It has been a long time, it was OJ probably 4-5 months ago -- nm - amoxy Nov 19, 08:58
- Orange juice, yesterday. -- nm - kelly Nov 19, 08:57
- about 5 minutes ago. -- nm - CQ Nov 19, 08:57 1
  - cranberry juice -- nm - CQ Nov 19, 08:59
- i would do it, if i drank things like that. (at home i mostly drink water, wine, or coffee.) -- nm - Andie Nov 19, 08:56
- yesterday. bottle of water, just needed enough to take some ibuprofin -- nm - Jim Nov 19, 08:54 4
  - Last week, same purpose, bottle of wine. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 19, 08:56 3
    - wait. wine in a fridge? (speaking of wine, mel! we may watch the town tonight! there's negotiation!) -- nm - amanda Nov 19, 08:57 2
      - (white wine!) -- nm - Andie Nov 19, 09:00 1
        
        what? it comes in white? what?? -- nm - amanda Nov 19, 09:02
- I do it all the time. -- nm - amanda Nov 19, 08:53 14
  - me too -- nm - zork Nov 19, 09:18
  - note: I have sodastream so I constantly just grab those bottles and drink from them. I live alone. nobody cares. -- nm - amanda Nov 19, 08:54 11
    - I think I've asked before but forgot. Does the Sodastream stuff taste more like Coke products or generic colas? - spamlet Nov 19, 09:08 10
      - The Diet Coke tastes like Pepsi Max imo. I can drink that now if i need to. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 19, 09:13 5
        
        I don't think I've ever had Pepsi Max, but Diet Pepsi is for emergencies only. - spamlet Nov 19, 09:14 4
        
        I can't drink Diet Pepsi....this isn't bad overall. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 19, 09:17 3
        
        I'm with your wife and like Diet Coke and love Coke Zero. I'm just not a Pepsi guy. - spamlet Nov 19, 09:18 2
        
        Will prefers Pepsi to Coke, just hates Diet Pepsi. -- nm - kelly Nov 19, 09:19 1
        
        Yeah, I'm not a diet fan overall...but Diet Pepsi is the foulest tasting thing in the product line. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 19, 09:20
      - I don't use flavors. I mainly just drink fizzed water with juice or fruit. -- nm - Amanda Nov 19, 09:12
      - i think the cola tastes very much like generic cola. - kelly Nov 19, 09:10 2
        
        ugh. I'd probably at least try the Coke Zero type product but generally generic colas aren't generally good. -- nm - spamlet Nov 19, 09:12 1
        
        And that's the type of sentence you get when someone calls in the middle of typing it. -- nm - spamlet Nov 19, 09:13
  - heh.. -- nm - groiny Nov 19, 08:54
- don't remember that I ever have. -- nm - znufrii Nov 19, 08:53
- A couple weeks ago with a 2 ltr bottle of soda. (I rarely do it in general though.) -- nm - Don Homer Nov 19, 08:53
Wonder Oliva is totally fake -- (link) - oblique Nov 19, 08:48 [youtube] 1
- that's so cute -- nm - zork Nov 19, 09:21
SITWAP: The nine year old girl football phenom was on NFL Gameday -- (link) - amoxy Nov 19, 08:47
Trailer for one of my films - Broken with Tim Roth and Cillian Murphy. -- (link) - LMS Nov 19, 08:43 3
- interesting -- nm - Pippygalore Nov 19, 09:06
- Needs more Wonder Olivia. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 09:01
- looks great! -- nm - znufrii Nov 19, 08:49
DonHomer, thanks for the KA suggestion. I posted something on their FB page about my experience, and someone from KA replied a half hour later. - kelly Nov 19, 08:43 3
- sounds positive - hopefully something comes of this -- nm - Pippygalore Nov 19, 08:52
- That is promising. Fingers crossed! -- nm - Don Homer Nov 19, 08:51
- don homer! -- nm - Diva Nov 19, 08:47
LIR ty97: My choice for iPhone 5 vs Galaxy came down to physical size. The S3 was too big IMO - oblique Nov 19, 08:41 2
- I don't think it is, and in fact, love the fact that it's bigger. Putting them side by side, even my Apple family/friends like the S3 screen size. - JaxSean Nov 19, 09:47
- I'm Apple biased, but I am also always kind of surpirsed when I see someone using a Galaxy. It is noticeably bigger. Almost looks like a mini-tablet -- nm - volnelk Nov 19, 08:46
Psy is cool. Period. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 08:39 23
- I like the old version of him, William Hung. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 19, 08:39 22
  - That feels pretty racist. - musubi Nov 19, 09:35 8
    - Because there are so many asian pop stars over here. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 19, 09:38 7
      - So if there were lots, then it makes more sense? (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 09:40 6
        
        well, it would give me more options to pick from, for sure. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 19, 09:41 5
        
        Don't worry, all the slanty eyed guys are pretty interchangable. (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 09:43 4
        
        Wow. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 19, 10:07
        
        Or maybe he's looking at another "novelty" type act and comparing them. nm - Jim Nov 19, 09:48 1
        
        I'm not sayin he's racist. But the words he typing are in that direction. - musubi Nov 19, 09:52
        
        it would appear that today is a good day for me to leave ST. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 19, 09:44
  - If the 2.0 upgarde contained some improved voice, moves, looks personality and overall talent, maybe. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 08:49 2
    - I can get behind this...Hung was a punchline; this guy's a talented one-hit wonder. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 19, 08:50 1
      - A subscription to hair club, and a year in a re-education camp, and there you go. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 19, 08:51
  - But hung wasn't cool. He was "cool with it", but not cool. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 08:48 8
    - I am fairly certain that Psy has no idea where he is half the time. - groiny Nov 19, 08:49 7
      - From what I have read, totally untrue. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 08:51 6
        
        the guy who serves me my Pad Thai, looks just as happy serving food. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 19, 08:52 5
        
        Yeah, no "all those asians are the same" sentiment here. (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 09:45 2
        
        you can read it however you want to read it moose. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 19, 09:47 1
        
        I know you don't intend it that way. I'm telling you how it reads to me. - musubi Nov 19, 09:49
        
        Did you see the video of his live performance with a few hundred thousand in the audience? - Spawn Nov 19, 09:00 1
        
        yeah, he did the same shit I see him do every time I see him. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 19, 09:01
  - *ding* -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 08:40
