  - these are nice too -- (link) - oblique Jun 24, 08:23

    - Good idea. I got a pair from Timberland at the Salvation Army and they're my favorite pair now. - Krusty Jun 24, 08:16 6
      - i've been looking at thinner shorts, underwear etc.. cotton stuff take up so much space. - colin Jun 24, 08:17 5
        
        *spills something on you* - oblique Jun 24, 08:25

I did not return the Nexus. I switched to AT&T. Hopefully I did not choose poorly. -- nm - Qale Jun 24, 07:58 18
- But it's not the sexy $30 plan! - spamlet Jun 24, 08:05 1
  - You're definitely right about that. It's double the sexy $30 plan. It better be doubly as good, right? - Qale Jun 24, 08:07
- Does T-Mobile just have poor coverage in your area? I hope the switch works out for you. -- nm - Krusty Jun 24, 07:59 3
  - The maps look near identical to me, but online vs real world is kind of subjective I suppose. -- nm - Qale Jun 24, 08:00 2
    - Seems so. Sorry. - Krusty Jun 24, 08:03 1
      - If anything I'm already getting better coverage in my own home. That'll be nice if/when the power is out. -- nm - Qale Jun 24, 08:10
- why not T-mobile monthly? you didn't contract, did you? -- nm - colin Jun 24, 07:59 7
  - I was already with T-Mobile prepay. And no, I didn't contract with AT&T either. -- nm - Qale Jun 24, 07:59 6
    - ah. ok. never say never. i mean, never say contract. how's the nexus? allie's seems to be chuggin' along. -- nm - colin Jun 24, 08:00 5
      - also, sometimes reception issues can be fixed with updates - odd how the firmware dictates what seems like hardware issues. -- nm - colin Jun 24, 08:02
      - I like the way the phone handles. I like that it's near identical to the tablet. -- nm - Qale Jun 24, 08:01 3
        
        i'm thinking of getting the tablet after my first payday. i need to start distancing myself from apple products. - colin Jun 24, 08:02 2

        telling kids to get off your lawn? - colin Jun 24, 08:12
- My condolences. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 07:58 3
  - Sometimes I guess it's okay to sleep with the devil you don't know. -- nm - Qale Jun 24, 08:00 2
    - There is no protection for that! -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 08:01 1

boston.com Love Letters: He Looks Old - Diva Jun 24, 07:47 19
- I'm not sure why so many people try to insist that physical appearance doesn't matter. - Inigo Jun 24, 08:02 5
  - looks do matter. and you need to be attracted to whomever you're dating. it may seem shallow but if it's bothering her enough to take the issue to her - Diva Jun 24, 08:35
  - I don't think it's his age. it's the appearance of his age. she clearly digs him; his experiences. -- nm - amanda Jun 24, 08:04 3
    - Oh, sure. She does, but his old appearance is enough to outweigh any of that. -- nm - Inigo Jun 24, 08:10 2
      - Maybe his penis looks like a sausage link that's been under the hot lamp for too long. -- nm - Max Jun 24, 08:12 1
        
        she introduces him by dropping his pants? -- nm - colin Jun 24, 08:13

  - she should wear one of these, fix the situation right up. -- (link) - colin Jun 24, 08:03
- "My question to you is how important is age and physical appearance?" - to you obviously alot dummy -- nm - Beaker Jun 24, 07:57

- sure you still get carded. -- nm - colin Jun 24, 07:56 6
  - State law! -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 08:03 5
    - most places now, if you look over 30, you don't get carded. - colin Jun 24, 08:05 4
      - I'm super-old. I still get carded. -- nm - Diva Jun 24, 08:31
      - not here. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 08:17 1
        
        Maybe you look... older than the number? -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 08:21
      - It is 40, here. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 08:06
