Do you ever get someone in your FB "People you may know" and think OH GOD, NOT HER!!! - loosilu Feb 11, 07:22 6
- a guy who used to trash me as "gay" in HS tried to friend me (btw, he got divorced because he wanted to switch teams) - zork - should be tabulating Feb 11, 07:24 4
  - probably wanted you. still wants you. -- nm - lileve Feb 11, 07:31
  - I think for a lot of people, that insult means "I wish you were gay". -- nm - Don Homer Feb 11, 07:25
  - not really all that ironic. - ty97 Feb 11, 07:25
  - You probably turned him gay -- nm - Redmond Feb 11, 07:25
- Heh, pretty much every day. -- nm - Jelly Feb 11, 07:23

- Maybe meat (at the grocery!). -- nm - Amy Feb 11, 07:18 1
  - *perks up* -- nm - Sam the Butcher Feb 11, 07:20
- Hmm. My first thought was Chick-Fil-a, but we've had to cut back on that lately. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 11, 07:18
- Car Insurance -- nm - Redmond Feb 11, 07:17
- Outback. -- nm - Remlik Feb 11, 07:17

- is that first one a book? -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 07:16 2
  - no it's a comic. There will be two parts and they will make a trade (collected book) of it. -- nm - Remlik Feb 11, 07:16 1
    - I will need that. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 07:17
I wonder if we spend more than 20 dollars a week on snacks? I don't think so--at least not until Logan is a teen. -- nm - Amy Feb 11, 07:11 4
- "Andrew, want a cookie?" *maniacal laughter* -- nm - Don Homer Feb 11, 07:13 3
  - Logan answers everything "no" out of principle. "Do you want a cookie?" "No" "Really?" "COOKIE!" -- nm - Amy Feb 11, 07:19 2
    - Heh. Thankfully Andrew hasn't said "no" yet. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 11, 07:21 1
      - He will *not* say yes, even when he means it. Only in extreme circumstances. - Amy Feb 11, 07:24
i'm putting this in my nick, so every time i post i'm guilted into remembering what i should be doing. -- nm - Andie - should be filing Feb 11, 07:08 4
- good idea -- nm - zork - should be tabulating Feb 11, 07:10
- I read "filling" and was very confused. -- nm - mafic Feb 11, 07:10
- smart. -- nm - ty97 - should be drinking Feb 11, 07:10 1
  - :-( -- nm - mara - should be working Feb 11, 07:10
(tell me no) I'm totally allowed to skip IMC class today, right? -- nm - candy hearts love mandy lane Feb 11, 07:02 8
- WWND? -- nm - nubby Feb 11, 07:06 2
  - don't answer that, it's a trap! -- nm - mafic Feb 11, 07:10 1
    - mafic == Admiral Ackbar ?? -- nm - zork - should be tabulating Feb 11, 07:12
- GO TO CLASS! -- nm - mafic Feb 11, 07:06
- Skip class and go to Starbucks -- nm - Redmond Feb 11, 07:02
- Mmm... long-island iced teas. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 11, 07:02 2
  - you suck! tell me no! -- nm - candy hearts love mandy lane Feb 11, 07:04 1
    - [spoils] - zork Feb 11, 07:09
The average American family spends about $1,100 on this. What is it? (morning news trivia) -- nm - Redmond Feb 11, 06:58 41
- SPOILERS - Redmond Feb 11, 07:05 3
  - I'm not sure I've spent that much in my life. -- nm - Reagen Feb 11, 07:21
  - ugh. -- nm - kelly Feb 11, 07:07
  - scary. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 07:06
- Socks -- nm - Beryllium Feb 11, 07:01
- coffee -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 07:00 22
  - mmmm. (I'm trying to almost quit. did we know this? it's a financial decision. I spend *way* more than $1100 per year on it.) -- nm - candy hearts love mandy lane Feb 11, 07:01 21
    - getting an espresso machine at home cut my expenditure immensely. - mafic Feb 11, 07:03 16
      - I'd go broke buying beans. it's really sad. I drink mostly tea now (until I get a job. and then? hooch. lots of hooch). -- nm - candy hearts love mandy lane Feb 11, 07:05 15
        
        I use beans, and I only spend about $30 a month for my four espressos per day -- nm - Roger More Feb 11, 07:09 3
        
        I think we should call you Tweak from now on. -- nm - zork - should be tabulating Feb 11, 07:11 2
        
        I understand there's less caffeine in espresso than in filter coffee. Something to do with the water being pushed through the grounds faster - Roger More Feb 11, 07:14 1
        
        one shot of espresso has the same amount of caffiene as about 4-6 ounces of regular coffee. I don't know anyone who drinks just 4-6 ounces of regular - znufrii Feb 11, 07:15
        
        you'd think, but a pound of beans is only $20 or $25, and it lasts at least a couple weeks. - mafic Feb 11, 07:09 9
        
        if you're spending $20-$25 on a pound of beans here you're getting ripped off. -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 07:13 7
        
        I was about to say. That is some expensive coffee. -- nm - Shaun Feb 11, 07:17 4
        
        unless you're getting Jamaican Blue Mountain that is... -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 07:18 3
        
        that's $50 to $70 a pound here. my coffe store sells at $16 to $18 a pound (Canadian $, of course) -- nm - Roger More Feb 11, 07:21 1
        
        sounds about right -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 07:21
        
        and if it's kona, that's a bargain. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 07:19
        
        depends on the store and the flavour -- nm - zork - should be tabulating Feb 11, 07:15 1
        
        even Starbucks generally tops out at $15/pound, most are between 10 and 12 -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 07:17
        
        Pusher -- nm - Redmond Feb 11, 07:10
        
        bagged or loose? -- nm - zork Feb 11, 07:06
    - This slightly saddens me. - ty97 Feb 11, 07:02 3
      - are you saying I'm fat? or annoying?? -- nm - candy hearts love mandy lane Feb 11, 07:04 2
        
        cute and loved by millions - ty97 Feb 11, 07:05
        
        I think he is saying you would pass out if you were to dance. -- nm - Redmond Feb 11, 07:05
- hookers. -- nm - mafic Feb 11, 07:00
- $1,100 per year? i'll say coffee. -- nm - Andie Feb 11, 07:00
- Cable -- nm - ty97 Feb 11, 07:00 5
  - this is my guess. - Mel Profit Feb 11, 07:01 4
    - Let's play "Gas Bill"... -- nm - Diva Feb 11, 07:06 2
      - *laughing* I love this bit. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 11, 07:08 1
        
        you are so sweet. -- nm - Diva Feb 11, 07:11
    - check the IM of the post below -- nm - zork Feb 11, 07:02
- text messaging - JackDawson SI Feb 11, 07:00
- Soda. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 11, 06:59
- per year? I'll say snack food. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:58 2
  - I agree with this. -- nm - Walt_Disney Feb 11, 07:05
  - yes per year -- nm - Redmond Feb 11, 07:00
LIR beer: Blue is horrible too. -- nm - Shaun Feb 11, 06:58 12
- That's my go-to beer when I just want a nice easy drinking brew. Nothing fancy, but goes down great. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 11, 07:27
- yet, it was the number one beer in the country back in the 80s -- nm - zork Feb 11, 06:58 10
  - That means nothing in terms of quality. Isn't Canadian the #1 beer here now? -- nm - Shaun Feb 11, 07:00 9
    - it's all marketing (plus most people don't really want to be beer connoiseurs and just want to get drunk) -- nm - zork Feb 11, 07:05 8
      - Which is why Bud Light does so well :) -- nm - Shaun Feb 11, 07:07 7
        
        and "the Silver Bullet" -- nm - zork Feb 11, 07:08 6
        
        *remembers ex-boyfriend with the silver Coors Light couch he won at a bar* {{{shudders}}} -- nm - Andie - should be filing Feb 11, 07:09 5
        
        Did you ever...you know? nm - Dignan Feb 11, 07:12 2
        
        no, i did not. (in fact, i made him put it in the extra bedroom - i couldn't even deal with it in the living room.) -- nm - Andie - should be filing Feb 11, 07:15 1
        
        Crap! That would have been the funniest thing ever. nm - Dignan Feb 11, 07:16
        
        L4. I bet he looked for silver condoms to match, too. -- nm - zork Feb 11, 07:10 1
        
        Coors Light flavoured -- nm - Roger More Feb 11, 07:10
also, I don't like the way they implied that he had to have gotten the virus from that one incident - zork Feb 11, 06:57 2
- oh yeah, that def sounded like a story made up to cover his ass (so to speak) -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:58
- seriously. -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 06:58
Why the heck does Garmin need to have so many different models? They seem to have like 40 different versions. - Don Homer Feb 11, 06:57 2
- they all have different uses. marine, satnav for cars, and backcountry all have pretty different requirements. - mafic Feb 11, 06:59 1
  - Yeah, I'm just talking about their vehicle navigation models. Too many imo. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 11, 07:00
Who wants to be my bestest friend? Can someone cut and paste the story at this link? Work's blocking it because it's a blog. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Feb 11, 06:54 4
- inside - Roger More Feb 11, 06:55
- Where is my pony? - lileve Feb 11, 06:55 2
  - hi - zork Feb 11, 07:00 1
    - Hi! - lileve Feb 11, 07:12
I'm not sure this woman has much of a case against Alomar. - Inigo Feb 11, 06:52 11
- [deleted]
- hmmm, the way I read it, he refused to have a test. She tested negative. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:54 9
  - "The doctor told him to have an HIV test and he refused, she says, stating he had been tested and was AIDS-free." - Inigo Feb 11, 06:56 7
    - if his doctor advised him to have a test and he refused, that's fairly negligent in my mind. - Andie Feb 11, 06:58 6
      - assuming he actually had been tested -- nm - zork Feb 11, 07:01
      - Whilst I agree, if she was aware of this at the time, then she's just as negligent - ty97 Feb 11, 07:01 1
        
        oh, for sure. she's an idiot if she suspected as much and did nothing. -- nm - Andie Feb 11, 07:01
      - Also, if he was indeed negative - what's the harm of getting tested again, and putting any doubt to rest? -- nm - kelly Feb 11, 07:00 2
        
        False-positives and false-negatives are always possible. Just one test is foolish, IMO, if there's a suspicion -- nm - Beryllium Feb 11, 07:03 1
        
        i believe false-negatives are more common than false-positives -- nm - zork Feb 11, 07:07
  - it gave me the impression that he lied about having had a test -- nm - zork Feb 11, 06:56
Hey, sweetheart! -- (link) - zork Feb 11, 06:52
Tsvangirai sworn in as PM of Zimbabwe. Do we think anything will be different? -- (link) - loosilu Feb 11, 06:50 6
- not immediately. A lot depends on whether Mugabe keeps the support of the army. I heard that soldiers are demanding to be paid in rand or $US now - Roger More Feb 11, 06:54 3
  - got any links? -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:57 2
    - sure - let me know if it is subscription only, I can post or email the text -- (link) - Roger More Feb 11, 06:59 1
      - I can read it, thanks! -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 07:00
- (Tystravaganzi) -- nm - nubby Feb 11, 06:54
- If Mugabe is still President, no. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 11, 06:52
LIR: he has full blown AIDS but "His lawyer, Charles Bach, would not say whether Alomar is HIV-positive" ... she runs a massage spa (full release?) -- nm - zork Feb 11, 06:49 2
- The Steelers' backup QB is a lawyer? -- nm - nubby Feb 11, 06:53
- re: Alomar. I actually agree with znu, JD, and ty that claiming the kids were exposed to HIV is probably silly and incendiary. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:53
*pulls out Burned-Butt Amy with special Hoover Dam playset * ST Doll -- nm - Redmond Feb 11, 06:48 1
- btw this is from the backboards, not me being creepy. -- nm - Redmond Feb 11, 06:58
Negligently exposes B2... -- nm - Jim Feb 11, 06:46 7
- *negligently exposes himself to B2* -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 06:48 6
  - *exposes his negligee to b2* -- nm - mafic Feb 11, 06:57
  - just a thought, i ended up with cellulitis, because i *skinned* the palms of my hands on a sidewalk. - Andie Feb 11, 06:55 3
    - shouldn't be too worried but she would not be out of line getting the kids tested -- nm - zork - should be tabulating Feb 11, 07:14
    - my good friend Catie got a huge staph infection from a little blister on her foot. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 07:01
    - I think such care is prudent. Also, it can be transferred via blood touching mucus membranes ... - Beryllium Feb 11, 06:58
  - B@ fails to notice. Jack Dawson's head explodes trying to keep from making jokes -- nm - TWuG Feb 11, 06:51
