The Brazil/Spain game was on at the Thai place we ate at and the sound was off, but the cc was on. But the cc was for a baseball game. -- nm - TWuG Jun 30, 17:10
Here's something I thought I'd never say: Monsters University was boooring. -- nm - kelly Jun 30, 17:00 9

  - Bzzzzzt! -- nm - kelly Jun 30, 17:04
  - Who are you people? And what have they done with your souls?! - Stephen Jun 30, 17:04 1
    - Let me just say. ST really had built it up for me. Huge expectations! - Bacon Jun 30, 17:06

It is so effing hot outside, the ac can't keep up--108F - Trish Jun 30, 16:49 10
- Jebus. I'm glad you were able to cool down. That's scary hot. -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 17:16
- We've been running our AC from about 10am to Midnight...can't imagine what we'd do if it was THAT hot here. - Stephen Jun 30, 17:12 1
  - It's an excellent excuse to go to the mall ;) -- nm - Meg Jun 30, 17:13
- We were expecting 102 today but we had a front go through about noon - ocean breeze and light clouds - dropped the temp from 90 to about 80 now. - Meg Jun 30, 17:07 1
  - Can I come stay this week? :) -- nm - Trish Jun 30, 17:11
- My Mom just called me. They are in tents, at Lake Shasta. Current temp 108 degrees. -- nm - Bacon Jun 30, 16:55 4

    - My Mom said she would leave if she had another car. - Bacon Jun 30, 17:05
  - Posted before I read your IM. Glad you caught that before it got worse. -- nm - Bacon Jun 30, 16:55 1
    - It's one of those things that sneak up on you. I have a hard time drinking very much water, it makes me nauseated. - Trish Jun 30, 17:10
Ok, San Fran knowledgeable. We will be there to start our honeymoon next Monday and Tuesday. Staying at the Orchard on Bush St. Where should we go? -- nm - Volnelk Jun 30, 16:37 24
- Union Sq to Chinatown, to North Beach to Fisherman's wharf area .... - zeitgeist Jun 30, 17:38
- If you want to do it all, take a Big Bus tour (there are a couple open top companies). In 2 1/2 hours you'll get the highlights. - CovingtonCat Jun 30, 17:09 3
  - The bus sounds perfect. What's it called? -- nm - Volnelk Jun 30, 17:22 2
    - Big Bus is the one we did. -- (link) - CovingtonCat Jun 30, 17:23 1
      - Perfect. Looks like the Chinatown stop is two blocks from us. -- nm - Volnelk Jun 30, 17:39
- I was there in March. I enjoyed Fisherman's Wharf, Alcatraz, Angel Island, Calif Academy of Sciences facility - TWuG Jun 30, 17:07
- Up above the Presidio there is a park. Go there. It has a view of the Golden Gate and if you get lucky and go near sunset the fog will start rolling - Bacon Jun 30, 16:58
- Take the cable car up the hill to the Ghirardelli factory and buy a bunch of imperfect, but tasty chocolate. -- nm - Trish Jun 30, 16:52 1
  - Also, when getting the cable car in that area, walk up 1 block and grab onto it at it's first stop. Otherwise, the line is like an hour or two - Michael Caine Jun 30, 17:00
- Start out walking wherever your feet take you. Explore. -- nm - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old Jun 30, 16:48 7
  - So, you've never been to San Francisco then...? -- nm - Stephen Jun 30, 16:49 6
    - Yes, and thanks for asking: I grew up there. -- nm - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old Jun 30, 17:12 1
      - And yet you'd suggest to someone who only has two days there to just walk, and explore... - Stephen Jun 30, 17:15
    - hee hee! - Trish Jun 30, 16:52 3
      - Oh look, ANOTHER FRACKIN HILL!!! - Stephen Jun 30, 17:07 2
        
        Seven -- just like in Rome. -- nm - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old Jun 30, 17:13 1
        
        Only if you don't count the other 40. -- (link) - CovingtonCat Jun 30, 17:14
- Fisherman's Wharf, catch a Giants game at AT&T (assuming you meant July 8-9), ride the cable cars, visit North Beach, or Chinatown, or both, - Stephen Jun 30, 16:45 5
  - Of course. Just thought I'd ask for what was cool and accessible. Really, it's a glorified layover. -- nm - Volnelk Jun 30, 16:50 4
    - Hit Fisherman's Wharf; there's so much right there in 1 area. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 17:01
    - I will always recommend Fisherman's Wharf, even on short visits. - Stephen Jun 30, 17:00 1
      - Musee Mechanique! - Will Hunting Jun 30, 17:02
    - Crash loved touring the subs down at the wharf. I couldn't do it, I have claustrophobia and would have been a screaming mess. -- nm - Trish Jun 30, 16:54
- Check CovingtonCat's posts for this last week - he did a number of the best places. -- nm - Meg Jun 30, 16:41
Nurse to the Oilers at 7 is a best case scenario, IMO. - Reagen Jun 30, 16:30 1

Look, if you're going to throw the game, at least make it look like you're trying. -- nm - Mop Jun 30, 16:13
Another "space increased" notice from Dropbox. I'm at 51.6 GB -- nm - Mop Jun 30, 16:11 4
- Is dropbox a reliable company? (Not some website that hosts copywrite stuff?) I want to upload pictures and stuff but I don't want the website to - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 30, 16:14 3
  - Totally legit. Not like MegaUpload, if that's what you mean. -- nm - Mop Jun 30, 16:21 1
    - Ok cool -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 30, 16:50
  - Yes. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 30, 16:18
Watched Parks and Rec through season 4, it did get much better as it went. Now starting on Fringe.We m -- nm - JaxSean Jun 30, 15:29 1
- We made it through most of the first season when it was on, but we're starting over anyway. - JaxSean Jun 30, 15:31
my cop friends on FB are saying they got the guy who broke in the house and beat the mom ...the nannycam case. -- nm - Remlik Jun 30, 15:15
So now I am using H&R Block and it also says I can't e-fill but at least it gives me a reason. "You can't file a blank return. Complete your return be - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 30, 15:10 19
- You're probably not rq=equired to file a return - Brian Jun 30, 16:46 1
  - See his posts below - the IRS doesn't require it, but it will help with his student loan . -- nm - Meg Jun 30, 17:09
- Did you try putting in the number 0? -- nm - Todd Manning Jun 30, 15:18 1
  - Or what the IRS calls, the automatic audit number -- nm - Bacon Jun 30, 15:20
- in the time it's taken you to figure this out, you could have just filled out a form by hand hours ago -- nm - charlie Jun 30, 15:13 14
  - Again... doesn't it take longer to process? Also, I think I will just put that I made like $200. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 30, 15:15 13
    - Again, you're saying you'll just put that you made money instead of filling out a paper form? - Will Hunting Jun 30, 15:36 4
      - I am just going to mail it in. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 30, 15:46
      - besides, I think $200 for the year is more suspicious than zero -- nm - zork Jun 30, 15:38 2
        
        Scratch offs! -- nm - Spawn Jun 30, 15:42 1
        
        wouldn't he have to include any losing tickets as deductions to offset - zork Jun 30, 15:45
    - you could have filed three months ago and now you're worried about how long it will take? -- nm - zork Jun 30, 15:22 3
      - Because three months ago I didn't know I needed to. The student loan system is rather convoluted, it is hard to figure out exactly what you need. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 30, 15:28 2
        
        I'm surprised that you're surprised that you would need it -- nm - zork Jun 30, 15:33 1
        
        It is not something that is required, it is something I can use to get a lower payment. But not something that is required. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 30, 15:47
    - you're not getting a refund. what does it matter how long it takes to process? if you're filed, you're filed -- nm - charlie Jun 30, 15:16 3
      - You have to file to get your FAFSA accepted. -- nm - Trish Jun 30, 16:33
      - Because I need the processed paperwork I guess? So I fill it, does the IRS send me anything? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 30, 15:20 1
        
        No, but you can order a transcript (on line) after it completes processing showing you filed. -- nm - CovingtonCat Jun 30, 15:33
Brazil v. Spain, who've you got? - znufrii Jun 30, 14:58 3
- BRA - DaneDukeNuuk Jun 30, 15:03

Hrmmm, the LPGA has a woman who is going to have won the first 3 majors of the year by the end of today. - Will Hunting Jun 30, 14:04 5

- And shes lapped the field at the US Open -- nm - budice Jun 30, 14:29 3
  - That's what I said, "3 by the end of the day....." -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 15:33
  - this means something very different than in the PGA, considering what goes on behind the scenes with the ladies -- nm - zork Jun 30, 15:28
  - *high five* -- nm - Todd Manning Jun 30, 14:35
budice what is your e-mail, I will send you the redbox codes. Amanda, check your e-mail. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 30, 14:00 2

It has begun. Medford Man blows off hand with illegal firework. - Bacon Jun 30, 14:00
Grrr.. for some reason I can't efile my taxes, I have to do it by mail. The e-file website is still open. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 30, 13:51 4
- if you had no income, that form should take about 5 minutes to fill out -- nm - charlie Jun 30, 13:56 3
  - But the paper filling will take longer, no? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 30, 14:00 2
    - If you had no income, do you need to file? -- nm - ty97 Jun 30, 14:01 1
      - I need to for loan repayment stuff. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 30, 14:02
Pacific Rim has apparently only spent 30% of it's ad budget. Prepare for the blitz. -- nm - Volnelk Jun 30, 13:50 17
- really solid cast, a director known for having a vison. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt -- nm - Remlik Jun 30, 15:14 11
  - Remember when Liam Neeson was considered a solid cast? Battleship anyone? -- nm - Bacon Jun 30, 15:23 9
    - still a great actor and still does decent films. Yeah Battleship is a dumb movie but so was Jaws 3D and we all like Micheal Caine -- nm - Remlik Jun 30, 15:35 3
      - Jaws 4: The Revenge bought me that house....not Jaws 3. -- nm - Michael Caine Jun 30, 15:41 2
        
        ah! thank you! -- nm - Remlik Jun 30, 16:01
        
        LMS does a good Michael Caine impression -- nm - zork Jun 30, 15:43
    - Liam gets a pass for anything filmed in that time frame after his wife died. - Will Hunting Jun 30, 15:34 4
      - didn't he start it a couple of days after another film and without having seen the script? -- nm - zork Jun 30, 15:37 3
        
        True story. His agent called him and asked if he was all set to start on Battleship. - Spawn Jun 30, 16:29
        
        On battleship? As if the script meant anything. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 30, 15:39 1
        
        good point -- nm - zork Jun 30, 15:41
  - this. plus, robot porn. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 30, 15:21
- The more I see about this movie, the more it looks like a cartoon. I can't believe these effects are something that's supposed to be convincing -- nm - con_carne Jun 30, 14:05 1
  - We're on the same page on this. -- nm - prayformojo Jun 30, 14:14
- That movie sounds really awesome, but is giving me a bomb movie vibe. -- nm - Bacon Jun 30, 13:52 2
  - Movies with giant creatures battling each other? Those have never had a limited appeal... -- nm - con_carne Jun 30, 14:14 1
    - Here are some giant creatures. -- (link) - Bacon Jun 30, 14:32
That wasn't cool. I had just carried Nathan downstairs, put him down, took a step to the kitchen and my left leg - Will Hunting Jun 30, 13:23 10
- BTW this is what happens when Kelly sees a movie. It's an attempt by your subconscious to keep her from having fun. -- nm - Bacon Jun 30, 15:19
- Ouch. How big is he now? -- nm - Spawn Jun 30, 15:01
- Sciatica. The least respected Supreme Court judge. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 30, 14:41 1
  - He's a real pain. -- nm - the liioulu with Jun 30, 14:42
- Slipped or bulging disk ya think? -- nm - Bacon Jun 30, 13:24 5
  - It's not along the spinal column though, it's like 3" in from the side. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 13:26 4
    - Sounds like a back problem causing the leg numbness. It sucks but it's common. - Krusty Jun 30, 13:39 1
      - It does. Picking up and carrying kids is a common cause. -- nm - the liioulu with Jun 30, 14:40
    - Is the skin warm to the touch there? Pulled muscle pinching nerve? -- nm - Bacon Jun 30, 13:28 1
      - Pinched nerve also likely -- nm - the liioulu with Jun 30, 14:56

    - Terry Gillian's got an undeserved rep for being difficult. - the liioulu with Jun 30, 14:41
Grilled turkey smokies for lunch - ran out of propane right when they were done. Excellent timing :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 30, 13:02

- 2nd half of 2013 is going to have to work hard to overcome this on the Awesome Scale. - Will Hunting Jun 30, 12:56
EU shocked to hear the US is spying [and that you can gamble at Ricks] -- (link) - peglegpete Jun 30, 12:43 1

Has anyone posted the "Snuffy the Seal" video? -- (link) - GregW Jun 30, 12:37 [youtube] 2

scary moment this morning, i did that quick check on my mom, she complaining she couldn't move her whole left side... - zeitgeist Jun 30, 12:33
Also, we're at the movies. Why is there a white smurf on the smurfs 2 posted? Did we miss something in the first movie? -- nm - Amanda Jun 30, 12:28 9
- I mean, one of them has to be the master. nm - Dignan Jun 30, 15:22 1
  - I don't know who should have more shame. You for this joke or me for laughing so hard at it. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 16:22
- Gargamel minions. -- nm - Spawn Jun 30, 15:01
- Smurfette gets around a lot :) -- nm - peglegpete Jun 30, 12:36 1
