Even though I don't currently subscribe to organized religion, I have a basic knowledge of the Gospels. Until today I was not familiar with - MojaveMeg Feb 17, 16:14 6
- I'm not sure I understand - con_carne Feb 17, 16:20 3
  - I'd say your actions towards others carry more weight that anything you might say. - MojaveMeg Feb 17, 16:24 1

  - Yes. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 16:22

L.A. STers: Mark your calendars for the L.A. Palooza 2009 ST gathering on Sunday, March 22nd. Woo hoo! - con_carne Feb 17, 16:04 3
- sorry. i'll be 'rounding the horn' that day :( -- nm - peglegpete Feb 17, 16:06 2
  - Is this that cruise you were posting about? -- nm - con_carne Feb 17, 16:07 1
    - yup. i'll be in Cape Horn Chile -- nm - peglegpete Feb 17, 16:08
You don't care, but I feel like sharing: I have mentioned that I work with someone who is co-dependent and controlling. - ralph wiggum Feb 17, 16:04 9
- sleep with her -- nm - Dano Feb 17, 16:20
- If you let her mentor you you'd have ask her for advice. - the liioulu with green m&ms Feb 17, 16:18
- I have a similar situation. I just want to yell 'YOU are NOT my FRIEND!' - Dr.Vermin Feb 17, 16:17
- is there someone else who could serve as a mentor? -- nm - b! Feb 17, 16:14 3
  - I have other mentors/supporters. And she'snot a vindictive person who will try to screw me over or anything. - ralph wiggum Feb 17, 16:23 2
    - It sounds like it's not just your ego. - the liioulu with green m&ms Feb 17, 16:25 1
      - exactly. also, styles/behavior don't always match. - b! Feb 17, 16:30
- I guess rooting through her e-mails to find incriminating gossip is out of the question, huh? -- nm - Inigo Feb 17, 16:12 1
  - I know you won't believe me (I wouldn't believe me either), but I finally found the doc I wanted and went cold turkey on that other guy's emails. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 17, 16:20
Unfrickingbelievable. - Will Hunting Feb 17, 16:01 22
- He can't be booted, he has to resign. And they are asking him to resign. - the liioulu with green m&ms Feb 17, 16:21
- It is pathetic. I've never seen a seemingly decent (if somewhat in over his head) guy get so overcome with blind ambition. -- nm - pmb Feb 17, 16:12
- "Burris then goes on to say that during the October conversation he raised a question about the Senate seat with the governor's brother" OOOOPS! -- nm - Redmond Feb 17, 16:09
- [deleted]
- "Burris said that he asked how much cash he wanted raised and was told $10,000 to $15,000" Niiiice -- nm - Redmond Feb 17, 16:04
- It was a slam dunk to not allow him in. Then Harry Reid pussed out. -- nm - Redmond Feb 17, 16:02 16
  - So did Obama. - the liioulu with green m&ms Feb 17, 16:23
  - from Rolling Stone... - Stewie Feb 17, 16:21
  - It was not a slam dunk. In fact, mostly the opposite according to most legal scholars. -- nm - pmb Feb 17, 16:10 11
    - They could have tied it up legally in the courts. They saw the easy vote and took it. - Redmond Feb 17, 16:18 2
      - and left the dems with another empty spot? - b! Feb 17, 16:22 1
        
        Damn Straight!!! Ethics trumps votes. I thought this was all a part of the era of Change Obama has been speaking about. Same old lying liars. -- nm - Redmond Feb 17, 16:24
    - yup. -- nm - b! Feb 17, 16:12
    - Don't let silly things like laws sway the conversation, pmb! -- nm - ty97 Feb 17, 16:12
    - Not only did he get seated. They embraced him. OOOPS!! You don't think pictures of them all hugging won't be in election ads? -- nm - Redmond Feb 17, 16:12 5
      - that wouldn't have been done if he hadn't gotten there, in part via extreme lying. -- nm - b! Feb 17, 16:17 4
        
        OMG a LIAR Appointed him, and he TOOK IT. That is all the Democrats needed to know. Really? -- nm - Redmond Feb 17, 16:19 3
        
        i don't think we said the same thing there. i was referring to burris's lying. - b! Feb 17, 16:26 1
        
        He was appointed by a liar! He took the appointment. That shows you right there he has no, zero, nadda, ethics. -- nm - Redmond Feb 17, 16:29
        
        It seems like politics in the traditional sense is dead. Stuff like this is supposed to be *leverage*, not PR stunts. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 16:20
  - I think the White House had something to do with that - eag Feb 17, 16:09
  - Harry Reid? Par for the course... -- nm - znufrii Feb 17, 16:06

- Frost/Nixon? -- nm - amoxy Feb 17, 16:09
- wasn't there one in Dead Poets Society? Maybe not "formal debating" ... but ... informal? -- nm - JenBro Feb 17, 16:08
- Casanova has one in the beginning. Rocket Science from 2007 features a debate team. -- nm - Max Feb 17, 16:07
- can she use tv? West Wing had a few debates -- nm - peglegpete Feb 17, 16:06
- Robert Redford in The Candidate -- nm - Max Feb 17, 16:02
- The climactic courtroom scene in A Few Good Men leaps to mind, but I don't think it qualifies. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 17, 16:00 1
  - Maybe the end of Scent of a Woman? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 17, 16:01

LIR: I'm doubtful that the Ford 650 XUV is intended for the consumer market. - ty97 Feb 17, 15:48 3
- When you absolutely, positively need to transport a whole work crew of illegals......think Ford. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 17, 15:58
- But they learned nothing from the GM exploding pickups! -- nm - TaurusII Feb 17, 15:50
- some actually thought it was for the common folk? -- nm - J Feb 17, 15:49
Opinions please - I used applewood smoked bacon for a Valentine's dish - I think it's great - but date said it tasted "funny" - so only commercial - JenBro Feb 17, 15:42 18
- I just noticed that I've only ever had applewood-smoked bacon on things at restaurants and never 'homemade'. But it's good. - ty97 Feb 17, 15:49 1
  - see that's my thing ... it's totally my "go to" bacon when a recipe calls for a bacon starter - like stews or coq au vin - I think its more subtle - JenBro Feb 17, 15:52
- I dislike applewood smoke bacon sometimes. It's like the apple-taste is funky. - JaxSean Feb 17, 15:48
- "funny" doesn't necessarily mean "bad". Besides, when you're cooking, YOU'RE cooking. You ain't runnin' a damn restaurant! - Apple-smoked Vermin Feb 17, 15:46 1
  - local restaurant here has similar slogan - ie. if you want home cooking - eat at home -- nm - JenBro Feb 17, 15:49
- For some people. - the liioulu with green m&ms Feb 17, 15:46
- if it was food poisoning, you'd probably know by now. -- nm - znufrii Feb 17, 15:45
- i don't eat pork bacon, but maybe the date just isn't used to it/was expecting the regular kind. it could have been the pepper, even. - b! Feb 17, 15:44
- s/he said it tasted funny? party foul! -- nm - kare Feb 17, 15:43 6
  - oddly enough - he loved the rosemary roasted new potatos - go figure. -- nm - JenBro Feb 17, 15:46
  - that's true, too! did he offer it up on his own or was it solicited? -- nm - b! Feb 17, 15:45 4
    - his last bite ... "I liked this but the bacon tasted funny" -- nm - JenBro Feb 17, 15:48 2
      - mid-rude (*shakes fist his way*), but it does confirm that he likely was just expecting regular. - b! Feb 17, 15:51 1
        
        yeah ... good plan ... blt would totally work for it! -- nm - JenBro Feb 17, 15:56
    - hee hee. -- nm - kare Feb 17, 15:46
- your date just needs their tastes expanded - baby steps ! -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 15:43 2
