So I need something to put on my wood floor where my desk chair is to protect the floor. - ty97 Jul 10, 06:44 11
- I use something similar to this. -- (link) - TWuG Jul 10, 06:53
- just get the rug.. it'll be a good workout for your legs pushing around :) -- nm - colin Jul 10, 06:51
- you could just get those felt circles that stick on the bottom of the chair legs. - Andie Jul 10, 06:46 8
  - The chair has wheels (probably not my smartest decision in hindsight) -- nm - ty97 Jul 10, 06:47 7
    - Yeah, it won't roll anymore. My chair at home is on a low carpet and it doesn't move. - Krusty Jul 10, 06:51 4
      - I am okay not being able to roll, I am more interested in looks then rolls -- nm - ty97 Jul 10, 06:55 2
        
        Oh, then just grab a cool area rug. I have one with colorful circles. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 10, 07:00
        
        ~you're so vain~ -- nm - decline Jul 10, 06:56

Okay, it's time for the everyone to call for VA's McDonnell resignation due to this illegal loan. This should tie him to Cuccinelli as well. -- (link) - MDH Jul 10, 06:39 4
- Are politicians required to disclose that $70,000? - Strongbad Jul 10, 06:45 2
  - Yes, & this is a big part of the problem "All the payments came as McDonnell and his wife took steps to promote the donor�s company and its products" -- nm - MDH Jul 10, 06:48 1
    - Yeah, that looks pretty dirty. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 10, 08:13

  - I play lexulous. does that work? (I won't WWF. too colorful. I know, I know.) -- nm - amanda Jul 10, 06:43 1

  - In CA they had a discriptor of Hispanic and/or hispanic sirname -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 10, 11:38
- It's when they want to blame someone's race, but don't want to blame hispanics. -- nm - Ender Jul 10, 06:09

    - [deleted] 5
      - I knew a Chinese-ethnic family from Guyana. Somewhat unnerving to hear that accent from them. A lot were used for cheap/slave labour in the past. -- nm - zork Jul 10, 06:49
      - Yeah, there are a lot of Germans who moved to Chile (but like, in the 19th century). -- nm - mafic Jul 10, 06:24 3

        I'm always amused that Argentina took in a bunch of Germans and a bunch of Jews around that time. Way to not pick sides! -- nm - Reagen Jul 10, 06:34

- So basically, a NJ Senator wants to take away a bunch of media jobs from NJ residents -- nm - decline Jul 10, 06:31 1
  - Yes, that's the takeaway from the article. Not that they station is failing to properly provide the news to NJ residents as it's required to do. -- nm - Krusty Jul 10, 07:01

- lolz!!! -- nm - eBay Jul 10, 05:14
- Next time, claim the cellphone is vintage and sell it on Etsy -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 23:36 2
  - Then when it doesn't sell there, make a rant about how I'm crying LITERAL tears and post it on Tumblr for SIGNAL BOOST? -- nm - Qale Jul 9, 23:40 1
    - well duh -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 00:07
- No, did you close the case? I think you have to allow more than 4 days -- nm - GregW Jul 9, 23:10 4
