I just made my first attempt at a personal business card. How do you feel about this design? -- (link) - Hotkiss Mar 19, 13:57 [Image] 15
- Very nice. What kind of business is it for? -- nm - lileve Mar 19, 14:02
- You designed this? It's very good. I have one comment - con_carne Mar 19, 14:01 1
  - maybe that's intended? -- nm - Roger More Mar 19, 14:01
- IMO you should consider getting your own domain name - marcel Mar 19, 13:59
- It's cute and fun, just like you! :) -- nm - znufrii Mar 19, 13:59

- are you a diving coach? -- nm - loosilu Mar 19, 13:58 7
  - Why coz there's a splash?! You drink water, are you an ocean?! -- nm - Loyola Mar 19, 13:59 1
    - Oceans are salt water, not for drinking. -- nm - marcel Mar 19, 14:00
  - Supposed to show off my design skills a bit. Am I failing? -- nm - Hotkiss Mar 19, 13:59 4
    - yeah, I think so. First, it seems to say you're involved in swim or diving. Second, the design is kind of overdone. -- nm - loosilu Mar 19, 14:00
    - I don't think so, you just need something to anchor the meaning of the graphic, it doesn't really stand well on its own. -- nm - znufrii Mar 19, 14:00
    - it's busy. -- nm - Reagen Mar 19, 14:00 1
      - is it about shapes, colors, water, or splashes? -- nm - loosilu Mar 19, 14:00
- That is sick! Do it! -- nm - Loyola Mar 19, 13:58
Maryland/Cal spoilers - Inigo Mar 19, 13:56
I love my duplex, I really do... but holy crap would I love a house. - TFox Mar 19, 13:54 8
- Bah. - kelly Mar 19, 14:03
- I got over a lot of that during the bubble when I was getting pressure from hell to buy. -- nm - loosilu Mar 19, 13:56 1
  - Yeah, sorry for that. -- nm - nubby Mar 19, 14:05
- [deleted] 4
  - well, it's sort of necessary to get the market un-knurd. -- nm - znufrii Mar 19, 13:56
  - The Fed wants me to be sad? - TFox Mar 19, 13:56 2
    - Sad enough to throw caution to the wind. - Spawn Mar 19, 13:59

Family GUy and Bones to crossover... -- (link) - Remlik Mar 19, 13:52 3
- That's got to be the definition of shark-jumping right there. -- nm - nubby Mar 19, 13:54 2
  - spoils...kind of/kind of not.... - Remlik Mar 19, 13:56 1
    - *spoils* - Ender Mar 19, 14:07

  - [deleted]
- She is amazing but Shape is notorious for their retouching. The background is so fake, it's a gradient.. -- nm - lileve Mar 19, 13:52 3
  - and that's totally a fake six pack. -- nm - loosilu Mar 19, 13:53 1
    - the penis is real, though, right? -- nm - znufrii Mar 19, 13:54
  - every magazine on earth does major retouching. -- nm - loosilu Mar 19, 13:53
*wonders if vermin forgot all about cc* -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 19, 13:51 1
- I am down to 1 game and when that is done I am taking a break - amoxy Mar 19, 13:51
watching Germany's Next Topmodel - marcel Mar 19, 13:45 [youtube]
tomorrow is going to suck. I need four immunization (one of them a three-way), and one of them is live. Guess my diseases. - loosilu Mar 19, 13:44 8
- since interest has fizzled, spoil - loosilu Mar 19, 13:59
- Tetnus, Chicken Pox, Sand Fleas, HPV. -- nm - TWuG Mar 19, 13:46 1
  - no. -- nm - loosilu Mar 19, 13:49
- foot&mouth -- nm - marcel Mar 19, 13:46
- Yellow fever, MMR, dengue fever, malaria -- nm - znufrii Mar 19, 13:45 1
  - yes (live), yes, no, that's not a vaccine. -- nm - loosilu Mar 19, 13:46
- Can we re-guess your diseases after the three-way? -- nm - ty97 Mar 19, 13:45 1
  - *nice* -- nm - loosilu Mar 19, 13:46

- Now we know what to get him for his birthday. -- nm - TWuG Mar 19, 13:45
- someone's getting fired... -- nm - znufrii Mar 19, 13:44 17
  - To be fair, I'm willing to bet most of the DVD buying public is oblivious to the existence of DVD regions -- nm - con_carne Mar 19, 13:46 16
    - nope. europeans are very aware of that -- nm - marcel Mar 19, 13:48 8
      - Of course, I meant in the US -- nm - con_carne Mar 19, 13:48 7
        
        which means that here most players are region-free anyway .. -- nm - marcel Mar 19, 13:52 2
        
        Are they really? Sweet. Those are harder to find here -- nm - con_carne Mar 19, 13:53 1
        
        there's a list of region-free hacks at this website -- (link) - Roger More Mar 19, 13:58
        
        Typical American, assuming everything from a US perspective - Roger More Mar 19, 13:51 3
        
        Most Americans (in my experience) are not aware of different TV formats. -- nm - loosilu Mar 19, 13:52 2
        
        Sure - I would explain my joke, but if I have to explain it, it probably wasn't a very good joke, so why bother? :) -- nm - Roger More Mar 19, 13:54 1
        
        I got it, it just wasn't funny. ;P -- nm - loosilu Mar 19, 14:02
    - To be fair, someone in charge of gift buying for heads of state should know better. -- nm - TWuG Mar 19, 13:47 6
      - Meh - I've received a bit of swag from visiting government delegations over the years, and haven't ever used any of it. -- nm - Roger More Mar 19, 13:57
      - I would be surprised if Brown did not have a multiregion player (assuming those exist) -- nm - loosilu Mar 19, 13:51 2
        
        One of my migrant pet peeves is that multi-region players are not common here. In Australia, the competition authority actually banned region-specifi - Roger More Mar 19, 13:53 1
        
        all the rich people I know who travel a lot have them. -- nm - loosilu Mar 19, 14:02
      - To be fair, it's time for DVD regions to go the way of HD-DVD. -- nm - psilotum Mar 19, 13:50 1
        
        Agreed -- nm - TWuG Mar 19, 13:54
Reagen...the only excess resource I have right now is crystal, which is rather crappy. - Krusty Mar 19, 13:43 4
- send me 500, I can send you 500 sulphur back, if you wish - con_carne Mar 19, 13:48 1
  - Gotcha! I'll send it you some in bit. -- nm - Krusty Mar 19, 13:59
- I could use 500. - Reagen Mar 19, 13:45 1
  - I'll send you some after I'm done pillaging. :-) -- nm - Krusty Mar 19, 13:58
Is it my browser's, or is this Twitter profile the worst-looking imaginable? -- (link) - mara Mar 19, 13:42 1

I am happy that fiscal conservatism is back after 8 years off - Stewie Mar 19, 13:42 5
- If you think conservatives weren't up in arms at Bush's drunken sailor spending policies, you weren't paying attention. - Inigo Mar 19, 13:48 4
  - And they did what about it? -- nm - amoxy Mar 19, 14:00
  - politicians, im talking about politicians -- nm - Stewie Mar 19, 13:52

- Holy cow. I have been waiting to get a refi. Was still thinking one more month or so but now I dont know -- nm - DreadPR Mar 19, 13:53 1
  - Wait for it. Moves just yesterday mean lower rates on the way. - Spawn Mar 19, 13:54
- Geico, meet Will the Caveman -- nm - amoxy Mar 19, 13:52
- what % equity do you have? -- nm - Stewie Mar 19, 13:47 10
  - It's appraised at about 150ish, i'm refi'ing 85k. - Will Hunting Mar 19, 13:49 9
    - yeah, that was my prob when i called them about it I'm only at 6% and they'd tightened things up so you need 10% to refi - Stewie Mar 19, 13:51 2
      - I've been blessed with this...got in right before the upswing, and have re-fi'ed now twice. - Will Hunting Mar 19, 13:54 1
        
        I bought 9 months ago, so not at the bottom, but on the way down - Stewie Mar 19, 13:58
    - This is through countrywide? -- nm - Inigo Mar 19, 13:50 5
      - Yep...they even gave me a 1/8th % lower than the listed rate -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 19, 13:51 4
        
        No points? I kinda baffled as to why we can't get any better than 4.875. - Inigo Mar 19, 13:54 3
        
        1.25 pts. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 19, 13:56 2
        
        Ahhh. -- nm - nubby Mar 19, 14:00 1
        
        Which honestly, with my mortgage so low, wanna throw another 1k on it....I'm cool with that. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 19, 14:01
- [deleted]
- that's great! -- nm - Roger More Mar 19, 13:46
- Aweshum. (nm) - kelly Mar 19, 13:46 1
  - Nope. Left that out. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 19, 13:48
- your mortgage payment is $750? god, i'm jealous. -- nm - Andie Mar 19, 13:44 19
  - seriously, my rent is almost double. -- nm - loosilu Mar 19, 13:52
  - FWIW, mine is less, but I'm paying principle too to make it an even $800. (Obvie, I live in a not-so-exciting midwest town.) -- nm - mara Mar 19, 13:46 11
    - can you guys still NOT pay principle? like, none? that's still an option? -- nm - Andie Mar 19, 13:47 6
      - [deleted] 3
        
        that's my question- do those still exist? -- nm - Andie Mar 19, 13:58 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        there even are (were?) negative amortization loans. -- nm - loosilu Mar 19, 13:58
      - No, there's always principal in the basic mortgage payment. (Well, in mine.) I should have said additional principle. -- nm - mara Mar 19, 13:55
      - She is probably doing like us, paying extra so more comes off principle and builds equity quicker. -- nm - Spawn Mar 19, 13:50
    - *arrests you for assaulting the principal* -- nm - school police Mar 19, 13:47 1
      - bwahahaha -- nm - nubby Mar 19, 13:47
    - (Oh, and mine includes property taxes and home insurance to an escrow account.) -- nm - mara Mar 19, 13:47 1
      - i friggin hate you. - Andie Mar 19, 13:48
  - Right now, it's 920/mo....down to 665. - Will Hunting Mar 19, 13:44 5
    - Jesus f*ck! i could even afford that. -- nm - znufrii Mar 19, 13:46
    - That is crazy. I would so buy a house if I could for that. -- nm - TFox Mar 19, 13:46 3
      - seriously. my rent is double his new payment. -- nm - Andie Mar 19, 13:47 1
        
        Mine is about a 50% bump over his new one, and I think I have a pretty sweet deal. -- nm - TFox Mar 19, 13:49
      - It's insane here. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 19, 13:46
- Is this a refi? Very nice! -- nm - con_carne Mar 19, 13:43 4
  - yes. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 19, 13:43 3

  - I pretty sure that it's not limited to just AIG employees...they're just the ones currently at the forefront... -- nm - znufrii Mar 19, 13:42 1
    - to clarify, the bill affects companies getting $5B and more from TARP funds, and also bonuses from Freddie &Fannie and applies to people making $250K -- (link) - Roger More Mar 19, 13:44
