    - Uhm...what have you rented repeatedly in the last few days? - the liioulu with batteries Mar 20, 15:31 16
      - Ass. -- nm - Diva Mar 20, 15:32 15
        
        [deleted] 14
        
        You're just renting. It's not like it's a down payment... -- nm - Diva Mar 20, 15:34 13
        
        [deleted] 12
        
        See that what's happens when you make these decisions while drinking. - the liioulu with batteries Mar 20, 15:41
        
        You'll have to excuse me. Mel's not home and I'm drinkin' alone. -- nm - Diva Mar 20, 15:35 10
        
        that is sad. very sad. - tRuMaN Mar 20, 15:37 7
        
        Not sad at all. It's just prep for 'Celtic Woman'. -- nm - Diva Mar 20, 15:38 6
        
        aww, did you find a date for the show? - tRuMaN Mar 20, 15:39 5
        
        Sure did. Celtic Thunder is coming to town too, but they look like a bunch of wangs. -- nm - Diva Mar 20, 15:41 4
        
        yeah, except for a couple of the songs - tRuMaN Mar 20, 15:41 3
        
        Some of the guys are good looking, but I couldn't watch a whole number. - the liioulu with batteries Mar 20, 15:42 2
        
        They've got a cute blonde too, but yes, the cheese involved is stinky, runny and old. -- nm - Diva Mar 20, 15:44
        
        I love that they had to - tRuMaN Mar 20, 15:44

        Your resourcefulness will see you thru this economic downturn. -- nm - Diva Mar 20, 15:39
just a quick thought on all the talk about smarter regulations for walstreet, etc - tRuMaN Mar 20, 15:21 24
- I wish the examples of "deregulate everything" not working had an impact on those that keep trying to implement it, but I agree it won't -- nm - Stewie Mar 20, 15:32 2
  - I am by no means saying we need a stringent regulation system - tRuMaN Mar 20, 15:34 1
    - If the American people don't want anything bailed out you have to have rules preventing anything from getting too big to fail -- nm - Stewie Mar 20, 15:44
- [deleted] 18
  - the other side of that - tRuMaN Mar 20, 15:25 17
    - [deleted] 16
      - but, at the same time, as the old laws are torn down, people will not want to regulate the new stuff - tRuMaN Mar 20, 15:26 15
        
        People did want to regulate it. But the market had too many "friends" in power. - the liioulu with batteries Mar 20, 15:30 3
        
        no, no one with any ability to regulate it wanted to regulate it - tRuMaN Mar 20, 15:31 2
        
        There were a few but they were voices in the wilderness. - the liioulu with batteries Mar 20, 15:32 1
        
        yes, and there will be again. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 20, 15:34

        no, lawmakers will never learn. - tRuMaN Mar 20, 15:28 9
        
        [deleted] 8
        
        sure, but look at what happened this time - tRuMaN Mar 20, 15:33 7
        
        [deleted] 6
        
        honestly, - tRuMaN Mar 20, 15:35 5
        
        I think we limit them to a set amount, they can't use any more than that, not through any means. - the liioulu with batteries Mar 20, 15:40 2
        
        sure, but you would have to rewrite all the laws regarding that - tRuMaN Mar 20, 15:41 1
        
        Of course not. Campaigning is too big a business these days. -- nm - the liioulu with batteries Mar 20, 15:44
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        hehe. true, probably. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 20, 15:37
- So you're saying that all this has happened before, and will happen again? - Dr.Vermin Mar 20, 15:22 1
  - heh, I have been saying that a lot lately. - tRuMaN Mar 20, 15:24

Question about viruses: Why would Norton be asking me if I want to "repair" a virus file? - Stephen Mar 20, 15:03 6
- In the olden days, viruses attached themselves to other files ... nowadays, they just masquerade as files, usually ... -- nm - Beryllium Mar 20, 15:04 5
  - So I should be ok just removing them? - Stephen Mar 20, 15:07 4
    - as ok as you can be once your system has been violated like that - Beryllium Mar 20, 15:09 3
      - Oh wth...it now says (after scanning for 3 hours) that the threats weren't removed.... - Stephen Mar 20, 15:13 2
        
        honestly, the last time that happened to me - tRuMaN Mar 20, 15:22
        
        I had something that bad back in January. - Beryllium Mar 20, 15:20
By the way, I appreciate all you guys' patience regarding me repeatedly posting here about 'Palooza. - con_carne Mar 20, 14:58 6

- I don't think it's an issue at *all*. - kelly Mar 20, 15:00 1
  - :) Also, I've been beating myself up a little, like "Why did I choose a date so far in the future??". Well, that's no longer a problem! -- nm - con_carne Mar 20, 15:18

Was Chris Dodd set up, or is he a douche bag? -- (link) - Mop Mar 20, 14:52 9
- It's not unlike the clueless homebuyer and the deceitful lender. If he wasn't advised of huge impending bonuses, and he didn't ask, blame both sides. - Max Mar 20, 16:02
- WHY IS THE TREASURY TRYING TO ILLEGALLY STICK IT TO ME? -- nm - Chris Dodd Mar 20, 15:06
- Why would anyone in the Treasury set him up? - Stephen Mar 20, 15:00

  - I've found so much about you now. - Will Hunting Mar 20, 14:59

- IMO, he's lying to save face. -- nm - Inigo Mar 20, 14:54 2
  - Hey, I just did what AIG told me to do. Wait, did I say AIG? I meant the Treasury! -- nm - Chris Dodd s.i. Mar 20, 14:56
  - I agree with this. -- nm - Remlik Mar 20, 14:56
[deleted] 12
- ha, thats funny -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 20, 15:00 5
  - Bernanke shouting "regulation" and "salary caps" is just crazy to me. -- nm - Mop Mar 20, 15:01 4
    - while it may be rationale, how is that constitutional? - tRuMaN Mar 20, 15:10 3
      - [deleted]
      - [deleted] 1
        
        hmm, ok. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 20, 15:19
- WTF? Since when is Bernanke the solution? But, by God, he's right! -- nm - Chris Dodd s.i. Mar 20, 14:57 1
  - I agree, fake Chris Dodd! -- nm - Mop Mar 20, 14:57

okayyyyyy, my mom wants to know if there is a substitute for...seitan -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 20, 14:43 6
- I'll suggest tofu or tempeh too. But what does she want to use it for? -- nm - the liioulu with batteries Mar 20, 15:34
- I told her to use chicken since most of the time seitan is a sub for that or turkey - zeitgeist Mar 20, 15:03
- Can she not have gluten? My gf's mom has celiac disease and she says - Krusty Mar 20, 14:55
- You might be able to get by with tofu or tempeh. -- nm - TaurusII Mar 20, 14:52
- Just be glad she didn't say viagra. -- nm - Mop Mar 20, 14:52
- "Could it be.....Satan?" -- nm - Church Lady Mar 20, 14:48

Obama is only proposing limiting itemized deductions for households making over $250,000 right? -- nm - Stewie Mar 20, 14:27 27

  - Amazingly, I'll be itemizing away over $30K of income this year -- nm - Stewie Mar 20, 14:35
- correct. -- nm - znufrii Mar 20, 14:28 20
  - [deleted] 19
    - I'm not sure I understand your criticism here. -- nm - znufrii Mar 20, 14:32 18
      - I'm not aiming to disallow any deductions, just make sure everyone benefits equally from them. -- nm - znufrii Mar 20, 14:33 17
        
        [deleted] 9
        
        except we don't treat people equally across tax brackets as far as deductions are concerned. Those in a higher bracket receive greater tax relief - znufrii Mar 20, 14:42 8
        
        say what? - tRuMaN Mar 20, 14:44 6
        
        because they have a higher marginal tax rate. - znufrii Mar 20, 14:45 5
        
        umm, the standard deduction does not change based on tax bracket. - tRuMaN Mar 20, 14:46 4
        
        but the relief it provides does. -- nm - znufrii Mar 20, 14:47 3
        
        umm,what? - tRuMaN Mar 20, 14:49 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        maybe, or maybe znu has been drinking since noon. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 20, 14:59
        
        [deleted]
        
        [deleted] 6
        
        then either I wasn't clear or am misunderstanding Obama's proposal - znufrii Mar 20, 14:40 5
        
        yes, but see, that is done already in many cases - tRuMaN Mar 20, 14:42 4
        
        well, perhaps this would obviate the need for the amt, and then we wouldn't need to fix it every year. :) -- nm - znufrii Mar 20, 14:43 3
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        or you looked at it wrong, or you smelt funny, or any of dozens of other silly reasons, but yes. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 20, 14:47
        
        sure, a bit, but I tend to agree with spamlet - tRuMaN Mar 20, 14:44
