  - Well, it might mess with your digestion, depending on when bedtime is -- nm - con_carne Feb 26, 16:15
  - yup. Calories in are calories in. You might be more inclined to do "bad snacks" then, but it sure doesn't hurt you to have good snacks after 8. - Callisto Feb 26, 16:15 4
    - not related to bedtime eating, but calories in are not all the same - Stewie Feb 26, 16:22

        exactly. - b! Feb 26, 16:23
  - what i think it does help though is to avoid that mindless in-front-of-TV munching, which is huge -- nm - kare Feb 26, 16:13
  - (well, I'm sure there's a study or two, I should say 'no overhwelming proof' probably) -- nm - ty97 Feb 26, 16:13
- Resisting that PB&J (with Fritos, of course) at around 10:30 never gets any easier. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 26, 16:12

  - Brewster did it. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 16:11
  - Heheheheh. That's kind of the point. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 26, 16:04
- Can't think of your own? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 26, 15:59 7
  - I wouldn't even begin to try. But given that the ad mocks a sum of money that's on par with what Iraq will cost, and any number of other programs - TWuG Feb 26, 16:02 6
    - Fat, lazy and wrong is no way to go through life, son. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 26, 16:03 5

- *readies lawsuit papers* -- nm - Lionel Hutz Feb 26, 16:05
- FAIL. No one has ever actually seen that movie. -- nm - Mop Feb 26, 15:57 8
  - I may have watched that movie more than any other when I was a child. - kelly Feb 26, 15:59
  - No STer has ever been more wrong in the history of time - con_carne Feb 26, 15:58 6
    - I think Mop's so cranky that there have been laws passed disallowing him seeing it. - Trish Feb 26, 16:04 5
      - Nah. Mop's just mad a smacked down his website link a few days ago that was butt ugly and included all of these links to so called memes. - Qale Feb 26, 16:06 2
        
        You mean this web site? -- (link) - Mop Feb 26, 16:12 1

      - It's a flying dog worm!! -- nm - Mop Feb 26, 16:06 1
        
        See! Case closed. -- nm - Trish Feb 26, 16:07
- I wonder if they'll try to include stuff from the second half of the book, or if it'll be very close to the original movie. -- nm - Inigo Feb 26, 15:57 3
  - The second book was moderately covered well in the second movie, but there is still plenty plenty more. -- nm - Qale Feb 26, 16:01 2
    - I heard so many bad things that I never saw the second or third movie. -- nm - Inigo Feb 26, 16:02 1
      - The third has no basis in the book whatsoever, but the second at least has some roots there. Even if it's bad. -- nm - Qale Feb 26, 16:10
- excellent. -- nm - prayformojo Feb 26, 15:55
- send it to me on FB if I'm not here when you post it -- nm - Guy Feb 26, 15:52 3
  - I'm sending it to them so if they approve it they can post it. :) -- nm - Qale Feb 26, 15:53 2

Question - after I clear my internet history through IE, is there something else I need to do to make sure it's gone forever? - kelly Feb 26, 15:48 11
- no matter what you do, Abby or Chloe can retrieve the info :) -- nm - peglegpete Feb 26, 15:53 1
  - uh-huh -- nm - the liioulu with rain Feb 26, 15:56

- burn it down for the insurance. -- nm - Beaker Feb 26, 15:50 1
  - *giggle* -- nm - kelly Feb 26, 15:51
- Not a sure fire erasure... but try defragging your hard drive after you delete everything you don't want on there. -- nm - DaMENACE Feb 26, 15:49
- if you're surfing thru a work proxy, they can (and probably are) tracking everything anyway - kare Feb 26, 15:49 1
  - If you really want to be careful, here's what you do. - Trish Feb 26, 16:00
- clear your temporary internet files (cache) too - Guy Feb 26, 15:49

- Tell them it's OK. The human adult body has 206 bones. Plenty of room to expand. -- nm - Mop Feb 26, 15:51 2
  - ... maybe 207, give or take a bone -- nm - Mr Chapel Feb 26, 15:56 1
    - Thank you, Nurse Chapel. -- nm - Mop Feb 26, 15:57
- Heh, I just scrolled through the comments and this one made me laugh. - Trish Feb 26, 15:51

if I refinance my car, should I go for the 36 months, or 60 months. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 26, 15:34 5
- 36 months is better, if you can afford the payment. But I am anti-car payment in general, so... -- nm - Subversive Feb 26, 15:43
- What's the difference in the payment? -- nm - Trish Feb 26, 15:39 3
  - 60 months is about $100 a month lower. but even then, - tRuMaN Feb 26, 15:43 2
    - What would the total paid, price + interest, be on each deal? - Trish Feb 26, 15:49
    - if you're comfy with it, i'd go for less time. if it makes things a little tight, go with the longer term and pay extra whenever you can -- nm - kare Feb 26, 15:48
i finally looked up ST on one of my bf's computers. i hate that it might come up when he types "s" into the address bar - kare Feb 26, 15:32 29
- How about the other bfs? -- nm - Dano Feb 26, 15:56
- google it first, then click from the results! - Subversive Feb 26, 15:33 10
  - Then go into History and delete the Google entry for that day. -- nm - TWuG Feb 26, 15:37
  - i thought about that, but then it's a drop-down option, right?! - kare Feb 26, 15:37 8
    - NO NEW SLACKERS -- nm - Chicken Little Feb 26, 15:39
    - That can be cleared, too. But it clears all Googl;e searches, not just yours. -- nm - TWuG Feb 26, 15:37
    - but if you start typing it, then arrow down and hit delete, it gets removed from the drop downs -- nm - Subversive Feb 26, 15:37 5
      - why didn't you tell me this 3 days ago?! hee hee. -- nm - kare Feb 26, 15:38 4
        
        Just suck it up and tell him you play a pseudo-lesbian in an alternative universe and have a bunch of friends you've never met. - Trish Feb 26, 15:40 3
        
        he probably would. he's a pretty easygoing dude. -- nm - kare Feb 26, 15:46
        
        Kare plays Second Life? -- nm - Redmond on my phone Feb 26, 15:43 1
        
        This *is* Second Life. That other you're talking about is "Second Second Life" - Trish Feb 26, 16:14
- clear the history in internet options -- nm - Redmond on my phone Feb 26, 15:33
- That's why you always clear the cache after using another's computer. :-) -- nm - TWuG Feb 26, 15:33 15
  - Now you tell me! -- nm - amoxy Feb 26, 15:42 5
    - i don't remember you ever posting anything incriminating - kare Feb 26, 15:45 4
      - In hindsight, I should have stayed broken up with her in November - amoxy Feb 26, 15:51 3
        
        wow. *such* a bullet dodged. - kare Feb 26, 16:04 1
        
        seriously, (nmb ex gf, if you're reading this) - kare Feb 26, 16:07
        
        Ohfer... -- nm - kelly Feb 26, 15:58

    - Kare's boyfriend is gay? -- nm - TWuG Feb 26, 15:36 1
      - David's nose just twitched. -- nm - kare Feb 26, 15:37
    - he actually would know, because he's a total computer guy. -- nm - kare Feb 26, 15:36 5
      - [deleted] 3
        
        It's that he right after his post. ;) - the liioulu with rain Feb 26, 15:43 1
        
        Yep. Which is the only thing that allowed me to turn it on its head. -- nm - TWuG Feb 26, 15:45
        
        twug got it. ;) - kare Feb 26, 15:43
      - *falls in love with him too* -- nm - ST si Feb 26, 15:37
I'm pretty torn on this issue. On the one hand, I feel that it's disrespectful of the deceased. On the other hand, some people are so accustomed to - Trish Feb 26, 15:29 25
- It seems mostly silly to me. After you have one photo of a flag-draped coffin, why do you need to take more? - Dr.Vermin Feb 26, 15:39 13
  - Seeing one coffin is sad. Seeing one hundred coffins lined up in a row makes a powerful statement. -- nm - Trish Feb 26, 15:45 2
    - And the 100-coffin photo has already been taken, I'm sure. - Dr.Vermin Feb 26, 15:48 1
      - A picture tells 1000 words -- nm - Guy Feb 26, 15:50
  - Casket #1 may appear identical to casket #3500 but you and I both know there's a huge difference. - TWuG Feb 26, 15:42 9
    - Well, then you're getting into using the photos to make political points, which is awfully crass. - Dr.Vermin Feb 26, 15:47 8
      - Not a political point at all. Hiding the cost of war by denying media coverage was completely political - TWuG Feb 26, 15:53 5
        
        It's not political! It's totally political! - Dr.Vermin Feb 26, 15:57 4
        
        You're confused again, but since I can't find smaller words to explain it, and can't get you to read any slower, I'm going to let it go. -- nm - TWuG Feb 26, 16:00 3
        
        /laughing/ - Dr.Vermin Feb 26, 16:05 2
        
        Not showing them is also political. - the liioulu with rain Feb 26, 16:08 1
        
        Yes. - Dr.Vermin Feb 26, 16:13
      - I think you are being naive to say that talking about 1000 oranges is the same as seeing 1000 oranges -- nm - Guy Feb 26, 15:51
      - Those caskets are facts. The numbers of them are facts. Journalism is also about facts. - the liioulu with rain Feb 26, 15:50
- Even in WW2, the public blanched at the sight of the dead and wounded, but didn't hear about nor see it till weeks or months later, things might have - zeitgeist Feb 26, 15:36
- There was a story in Newsweek that describes how the Canadian war dead are returned. (link) I think they have the right idea. - TWuG Feb 26, 15:36 1
  - That's just awesome. I love Canada (and Canadians). -- nm - Trish Feb 26, 15:38
- ive never understood this stigma - the dead don't care what you say about them. -- nm - Guy Feb 26, 15:34 1
  - they have families that do -- nm - Redmond on my phone Feb 26, 15:35
- From what I understood they are letting the families decide if pictures can be released. - Redmond on my phone Feb 26, 15:32 2
  - yep "US war dead being returned home will be allowed if their families agree. " -- nm - Dane Duke Nuuk Feb 26, 15:35 1
    - I am fine with this. -- nm - Redmond on my phone Feb 26, 15:36
- I actually think it's disrespectful of the dead to hide the reality of their sacrifice. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 15:32 1
  - If I am ever killed please feel free to disrespect me so my family doesn't suffer more -- nm - Redmond on my phone Feb 26, 15:34
- Doh! This should be under DDN's post about pics of the war dead, below. -- nm - Trish Feb 26, 15:30
"Sweet manatee of St. Marie!" "Not your strong suit, honey!" -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 15:28
Mop! What are you doing! Nooooooooooo!!! -- nm - Chicken Little Feb 26, 15:27 4
- *checks twitter* What Hath Mop Wrought? :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 15:31 1
  - Kevin Rose will be dropping by later. -- nm - Mop Feb 26, 15:33
- My online world and offline world are colliding. Me? I'm moving. Enjoy the train wreck. -- nm - Mop Feb 26, 15:28 1
