Women's Slalom (Alpine Skiing) Results: (spoiler) -- (link) - Diva Feb 21, 09:34 2
- I watched the final 15 skiiers. Good stuff (spoils) - CQ Feb 21, 09:39
- *checks medal count* -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 09:35
to kind of catch you up on some of the details..... - groiny Feb 21, 09:21 29
- I know it's not what you want to hear, but I'd let the justice system run it's course. - Heisenberg Feb 21, 09:27 1
  - some judicial systems are more than others, here domestic vio gets police and social workers, automatic 6m keep away - zeitgeist Feb 21, 13:31
- I just really want to be clear on this, and it might seem like I'm nitpicking - Reagen Feb 21, 09:27 3
  - and I fully admit, I try my best to stay out of the drama as best as I can..... - groiny Feb 21, 09:32
  - which is pretty much what she will do, and there are 2 witnesses this time..... - groiny Feb 21, 09:29 1
    - this is where I'm thinking they might need help from a local group that deals with violence issues - JenBro Feb 21, 09:50
- [deleted] 16
  - This is what I don't get. How fucking hard is it to end contact with a violent person who puts people in the hospital? Family or not, that should - TWuG Feb 21, 09:30 15
    - I don't get it either, but I know my (future) wife (at the time) couldn't get away from her ex-boyfriend until I stepped in. - Heisenberg Feb 21, 09:37
    - one would think, and that is what frustrates the hell out of me. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 21, 09:31 13
      - not that I am excusing him at all, or that they are making any kind of good decision, but what would it take for you to cut ties with one of your kids - Reagen Feb 21, 09:33 11
        
        I dunno, he has been locked up for dealing drugs, he has assaulted him mom and sister, he has stolen from other family members.... - groiny Feb 21, 09:35 3
        
        when he got out of jail and was studying to be a priest, the church even kicked him out. - groiny Feb 21, 09:37 2
        
        That seems like such an unsuitable career choice. -- nm - Roger More Feb 21, 09:41 1
        
        he probably did it to meet guys. -- nm - Diva Feb 21, 09:43
        
        This isn't about a kid, it's about a sibling. That's a huge difference, IMO. -- nm - TWuG Feb 21, 09:34 5
        
        A sibling who lives with her mother. -- nm - Roger More Feb 21, 09:35
        
        the mom is also involved. -- nm - Reagen Feb 21, 09:35 3
        
        Yes, but my concern and comment is for groiny and his wife. - TWuG Feb 21, 09:39 1
        
        That's not really groiny's decision to make, but his wife's. - Roger More Feb 21, 09:44
        
        Actually makes it easier. If my kid puts me *and* another child in the hospital (twice) it is a no brainer. -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 09:36
        
        If they put me in the hospital. -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 09:33
      - You have my sympathy. I'd be well past frustrated. -- nm - TWuG Feb 21, 09:32
- I really think you need to go to the police department and have a sitdown. - David Feb 21, 09:23 3
  - This. I forgot, how close are they living to you? I would be worried it would spill over into your house -- nm - amoxy Feb 21, 09:25 1
    - not very. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 21, 09:26
  - [deleted]
- I know you have been there but any chance to take the sister in to your house for a bit? - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 09:23 1
  - I would be willing to, but her kids are with their dad, who lives close to them now. - groiny Feb 21, 09:25
Wait. 3 Days to Kill is written/produced by Luc Besson, directed by McG and stars Costner? - JD Feb 21, 09:12 4
- Full of awesome. -- nm - Mop Feb 21, 09:26
- Yep - I'm planning on seeing it this weekend ... despite Coster (he's not my favorite) - but it appears he's not using his whiney nasal voice this - JenBro Feb 21, 09:21
- Opening weekend might help. I agree, I don't think it looks bad at all. -- nm - Heisenberg Feb 21, 09:15
- heh, I thought the same. -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 09:13
From B2: Dropbox also has an auto-upload feature. It works flawlessly and I don't have to use Google+. -- nm - Krusty Feb 21, 09:07 8
- Yeah, it's how I get my pictures off my phone. -- nm - Mop Feb 21, 09:27
- how much data does it use though? this is my hesitation. or does it only upload via wifi? -- nm - Andie Feb 21, 09:12 6
  - I have mine set up to only upload over WiFi -- nm - J-Nexus Feb 21, 09:17 1
    - Same for me. -- nm - Krusty Feb 21, 09:39
  - I know I can set G+ to do only over wifi. I'm sure dropbox is the same. -- nm - spamlet Feb 21, 09:16 2
    - thanks, i figured. -- nm - Andie Feb 21, 09:17 1
      - I just checked and yes it is configurable. -- nm - spamlet Feb 21, 09:19
  - Phone settings can usually do that. -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 09:15
Follow up from yesterday, we were able to put up to $10K on credit cards for a down payment, but it was a max of $5K per card -- nm - prayformojo Feb 21, 09:02 13
- are you getting a better rate on your cards than in a car loan? -- nm - decline Feb 21, 09:05 12
  - We have the cash to pay off the cards - prayformojo Feb 21, 09:12 11
    - nice -- nm - decline Feb 21, 09:19
    - Jeebus, that could be as much as $300 in cash back. Very clever. -- nm - David Feb 21, 09:14 7
      - Way more if he planned ahead and used new cards that had spending bonuses. -- nm - spamlet Feb 21, 09:16 6
        
        Hey, I'm good for one good idea roughly 8-9 months, so...... -- nm - prayformojo Feb 21, 09:28 2
        
        So, how much bonus will it end up being? -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 09:32
        
        Great job getting it out of the way early this year....2014 is shaping up to be a banner year for you! -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 21, 09:30
        
        I hadn't even thought about that. -- nm - David Feb 21, 09:16 2
        
        I'm totally doing this when we need a new car. -- nm - spamlet Feb 21, 09:21
        
        Yeah, that kicks it up a notch. I do love when a rental unit needs new appliances., but can not plan ahead for that -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 09:18
    - It is a points pyramid scheme! -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 09:12 1
      - The best kind. It's why I book my cruises through Am.Airlines. Get miles for the cruise itself (double in this case) plus miles for the credit card. -- nm - Meg Feb 21, 09:29
I made it through my entire pasta lunch without getting any sauce on my shirt....and immediately spilled some water on myself seconds later. - Will Hunting Feb 21, 08:58 9
- You only think you have no sauce on your shirt. You'll find it later. -- nm - Was Bar Was Feb 21, 09:13
- Eh, at least water dries. -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 09:00 7
  - Victory is mi...dammit! -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 21, 09:07 6
    - I'll say it since Pixie isn't here to say it ... "JenBro would have spilled both!" - JenBro Feb 21, 09:10 5
      - Pixie? Who's that? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 21, 09:13 4
        
        Some HSXer. -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 09:14 3
        
        I miss Pixie being here ... we're friended on facebook though so I still get mini fixes :) -- nm - JenBro Feb 21, 09:25 2
        
        Updated Stalker rank...oh, never mind. Already #2. -- nm - spamlet Feb 21, 09:26 1
        
        LOL -- nm - JenBro Feb 21, 09:52
Vegas Flight Booked! - arrive 5/15 @ 11:15 a.m. - depart 5/19 @ noon - WOO! -- nm - JenBro Feb 21, 08:55 14
- Whoo, you may be at the hotel before me! I'll be leaving here around 8:30 and it's a 4 1/2 - 5 hour drive depending on traffic. - Meg Feb 21, 09:25 2
  - I will message you my cell number on FB - you message me yours - and we can check in with each other. I still have to check on rental cars from the - JenBro Feb 21, 09:29 1
    - After a couple of miles in Vegas traffic you may rethink the rental :) -- nm - Meg Feb 21, 09:31
- spoilers - ty97 Feb 21, 09:21 1
  - :) spoilers back - JenBro Feb 21, 09:26
- What days of the week is that (lottsa days!)? -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 08:56 8
  - Thursday arrival and Monday departure - same as Meg -- nm - JenBro Feb 21, 08:57 7
    - Oops, miscounted. Thought it was six days! That is very similar to what I will be doing (but getting there later on Thursday) if Amy books what we - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 08:59 6
      - man ... I posted my flight before I saw Groiny's post below - while I'm totally looking forward to Vegas - I have to believe there's some way that - JenBro Feb 21, 09:04 5
        
        We need to remind him of what he will miss if he does something without thinking! -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 09:06 4
        
        ~nods~ true ... maybe there's a women/children shelter aid organization that could work with her to get her out of the situation? - JenBro Feb 21, 09:08 3
        
        This is the guy's sister. -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 09:10 2
        
        I'm not sure it matters ... I mean - violence against women is violence against women -- nm - JenBro Feb 21, 09:10 1
        
        Agreed, they may be under the same roof (had not thought of that). -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 09:12
WSJ article on WhatsApp, why it's so important, and what Facebook's challenges are in Asia. -- (link) - Mop (205 lbs) Feb 21, 08:43
Down With The NCAA's No-Agent Rule (they already lost a legal case over it in 2008) -- (link) - Beaker Feb 21, 08:41 2
- Fuck you Phillies. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Feb 21, 08:47 1
  - Yup -- nm - Krusty Feb 21, 09:01
NBC's compound in Sochi has a secret Starbucks. I wonder if they flew in the baristas. -- (link) - Mop (205 lbs) Feb 21, 08:33 1
- no greek yogurt in their hand luggage? -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Feb 21, 08:37
I think I might be going to jail soon - groiny Feb 21, 08:33 62
- That guy is an awful human being. I can't tell, is he currently in jail? -- nm - amoxy Feb 21, 09:22 1
  - as of last night, yes. They detained him when they took her to the ER. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 21, 09:23
- Going against the grain: buy a taser. - David Feb 21, 09:07 1
  - Nice! -- nm - Krusty Feb 21, 09:08
- crap dude. - colin Feb 21, 09:05
- Damn it! I'm so sorry that happened to her. Try and stay calm. - Krusty Feb 21, 09:03
- oh no Groiny ... no no no no no ...this is horrible -- nm - JenBro Feb 21, 08:57
- Call the hospital and ask to speak to the ER staff and ask them how to get . . . - OAE -- Antarctica, Old Explorer Feb 21, 08:54 4
  - It isn't really up to the hospital. ER calls the cops, cops come if you don't want to speak with them they leave. You have to talk to the cops, not ER -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 21, 08:59 1
    - I was just going to say. -- nm - loosi in the sky with diamonds Feb 21, 08:59
  - Just reading this looks like a HIPAA violation. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 21, 08:56 1
    - Yeah, he's going to have a hard time getting any info out of the hospital. -- nm - Jim Feb 21, 08:58
- FYI, "you" don't press charges, it's not up to you. - Reagen Feb 21, 08:41 3
  - right, I know this, which is why I they they are all weak and will not press charges..... - groiny Feb 21, 08:58
  - (will your wife put up with you filing a restraining order against him?) -- nm - Reagen Feb 21, 08:48 1
    - this sounds totally like the right thing to do but would it enrage and cause him to go after them? (I watch too much law & order) -- nm - JenBro Feb 21, 09:05
- What a c***, but stay out of trouble. -- nm - LMS Feb 21, 08:41
- [deleted] 14
  - I was assuming sister (I think the BIL is the gay bathhouse HIV+ guy, unless there's more than one BIL) -- nm - ty97 Feb 21, 08:43 9
    - yes, one and the same. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 21, 08:55 1
      - Get through this, and we will talk in Vegas. -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 08:56
    - Whoa, I missed a story. - Mop (205 lbs) Feb 21, 08:45 6
      - ref 1 -- (link) - ty97 Feb 21, 08:50 [Backboard] 5
        
        ref 2 -- (link) - ty97 Feb 21, 08:51 [Backboard] 4
        
        (also, we post about bath houses more than I would have expected) -- nm - ty97 Feb 21, 08:51 3
        
        Some of us know what we like! -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 08:54 2
        
        It's telling that BIL goes to Indiana for his bath house needs. -- nm - ty97 Feb 21, 08:57 1
        
        Guess he can not handle that extra 23 seconds of intercourse. -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 09:02
  - I'm confused too. What is the relationship here? This guy is married to your wife's sister? -- nm - volnelk Feb 21, 08:41 2
    - That's what I was assuming, but I'm sure it's complicated -- nm - Beryllium Feb 21, 08:44 1
      - No way this guy is married (remember, he had to stay with groiny until he got kicked out). -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 08:45
  - Sister. -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 08:41
- damn -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Feb 21, 08:38
- !!!!! horrifying. -- nm - Andie Feb 21, 08:38
- Have the police talked to her yet? -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 08:37
- He certainly deserves it, but not at the cost of your freedom. -- nm - TWuG Feb 21, 08:35
- Jesus Christ. He's a real class act. But don't you dare let him drag you down to his level. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Feb 21, 08:35 15
  - What is it going to be next? My wife? My kids? Oh no -- nm - groiny Feb 21, 08:36 14
    - "hey are you busy? we're going digging holes in the woods...the deep deep woods" - Beaker Feb 21, 08:39 7
      - Be smarter. - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 08:41 6
        
        and use a burner phone -- nm - Beaker Feb 21, 08:42 5
        
        Yup. I just like it when people dig their own graves. - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 08:43 4
        
        and people wonder why my wife thinks you all are after my organs. -- nm - Beaker Feb 21, 08:45 3
        
        Meh. When we come for organs, there's nothing left to bury. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 21, 08:49 2
        
        dibs on the skeleton. -- nm - loosi in the sky with diamonds Feb 21, 08:51 1
        
        You're over your quota, miss! -- nm - Beryllium Feb 21, 08:52
    - But if you attack him, you go to jail. Then you aren't there to protect your wife and kids. - ty97 Feb 21, 08:37 5
      - Uhm, dead is dead. -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 08:38 4
        
        I was assuming that "kill him" was a figure of speech and that we won't all get subpoenaed in a murder trial. -- nm - ty97 Feb 21, 08:40 3
        
        it actually was not a figure of speech. - groiny Feb 21, 09:01 2
        
        You've already got the nickname "groiny"; take David's idea and run with it ... -- nm - Beryllium Feb 21, 09:30 1
        
        (But, er, as defense, not offense) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 21, 09:30
- don't do it. -- nm - Diva Feb 21, 08:34 6
  - For sure. As it has been posted on a public board (thanks ST). -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 08:36 4
    - We had to arrange a cab to pick her up from ER last night at 12:30 - groiny Feb 21, 08:38 3
      - jeez. -- nm - loosi in the sky with diamonds Feb 21, 08:43
      - They really do sound like pretty awful people all around -- nm - ty97 Feb 21, 08:41
      - That is the most frustratingly awful situation possible. Just be smart. -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 08:39
  - ...yourself. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Feb 21, 08:35
- WTF? When did he get out? -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 08:33 2
  - He was locked up for 21 days -- nm - groiny Feb 21, 08:34 1
    - *puts a tarp and shovel in the trunk* - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 08:35
Loser keeps Bieber! -- nm - loosi in the sky with diamonds Feb 21, 08:31
I am Groot. -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 08:30 1
