  - FFS. I knew it was *all* David's fault. - Inigo Aug 27, 08:58 6
    - I generally bite my tongue and let things go but I'm fairly salty about this one. -- nm - David Aug 27, 09:06

        *unfriends you* - Spawn Aug 27, 09:04
  - It had to be a culmination. I mean, it's not a true fantasy sports season until you've insulted someone's trade offer. :) -- nm - Jim Aug 27, 08:53
- Sadly he's likely gone for good. :-( - Krusty Aug 27, 08:48
- [deleted]
- I think personal. nm -- nm - Jim Aug 27, 08:45
- personal, imo -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 08:44 3
  - That's a bummer. Thanks. -- nm - Inigo Aug 27, 08:47
  - and I did not notice before, but I am unfriended also. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 08:45
  - yep. -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 27, 08:45
SITWAP: Yahoo!'s response to the redesign - nubby Aug 27, 08:43 8

  - that seems hard to believe. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 27, 09:04
  - (Also: Had not gone to yahoo.com for three years before today) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 09:04
- I *love* the new logo. Art deco! Although I expect it's going to get tired soon. Also, the "Make Yahoo! your homepage" button still uses the old logo. - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 27, 08:55 1
  - I've seen about 4 different logos over the past 3 weeks there. Odd. -- nm - Shaun Aug 27, 09:00
- Marissa Mayer is a lunatic if she think that is a good design. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 27, 08:49 2
  - Marissa Mayer's job at Google was design. She micromanaged it. LITERALLY. She went to war over *pixels*. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 27, 08:53 1

    - Can a Vampirate cut & paste the Yahoo analysis here? I haven't seen it yet. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 27, 08:42 2
      - I don't see why not. We c&p'ed matchup recaps all the time last year. Those better be back. They were fun. -- nm - Shaun Aug 27, 08:42 1
        
        FWIW, I don't have Yahoo access...so I can't get any of that for you. :) -- nm - Jim Aug 27, 08:54

landbeck, my brother. at least i get some of a path for the first mile, then it's into the downtown traffic. - colin Aug 27, 08:28 4
- Word. If someone yelled "Get off the road" when they drove by, I might have time to respond, "Law!" before they were out of earshot. -- nm - landbeck Aug 27, 08:44
- Meanwhile I'm saying "get off the sidewalk," particularly when they sail past from behind with absolutely no warning :/ -- nm - Meg Aug 27, 08:30 2
  - it's illegal! walk on the sidewalk. walk in the crosswalk. - colin Aug 27, 08:33 1
    - People on bikes around here basically use the 'whatever is convenient for me right now' method. - Shaun Aug 27, 08:38

        punted rb and qb -- nm - dogbert Aug 27, 09:02

  - She was a much loved Siamese that had been with Jen for 17 years. -- nm - Meg Aug 27, 08:29 3
    - That is sad. Must be a story behind the name. -- nm - Inigo Aug 27, 08:36 2
      - I think it was originally thought that Jim was a boy... -- nm - kelly Aug 27, 08:37 1
        
        yep ... she was a stray that turned up at a friend's building site - they named her and then weren't able to keep her - so she became mine. - JenBro Aug 27, 08:59

  - [deleted] 2
    - They went to Yale to be real estate brokers? -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 08:43 1

  - Yup. I'd never use one. Craigslist and friends/family are the way to go here. -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 08:26 2
    - I would only recommend it for someone just moving to the city, and then only if they didn't already know anyone who could tell them where to look. -- nm - znufrii Aug 27, 08:28 1
      - Good point. If you don't know the neighborhoods you're going to need someone to walk you through all the areas. - Krusty Aug 27, 08:36
- Nope. All of my apartments have been through word of mouth from family and friends. I can ask around and see who people I know use. - Krusty Aug 27, 08:17 10

        Yeah, Harlem is a bit hectic. :-) I hope you visit soon. - Krusty Aug 27, 09:02 1
        
        Awww, shucks. :) - kelly Aug 27, 09:04
      - He does - emailing you her info now. -- nm - kelly Aug 27, 08:41
    - Not work, talking and I like to do that. Get me an area and I can help you more. - Krusty Aug 27, 08:22 2
      - Clinton Hill is underappreciated, imho :) -- nm - znufrii Aug 27, 08:33 1
