- "As you know, my research has advanced to a point where I can put her mind into the body of a gorilla." "I couldn't f a gorilla." -- nm - Max May 14, 10:43
- I guess the first thing I'd ask if she feels she can live with that / be comfortable with it. - ty97 May 14, 10:42 2
  - I agree. See if both people would be okay after the sex change. -- nm - Inigo May 14, 10:45
  - oh, and I think the standard applies too - ty97 May 14, 10:43
- so, basically, he just really wants to dress as a woman at home, right? I mean, he doesn't want sex with men, he doesn't want to stop living as a man - Andie May 14, 10:41

boston.com Love Letters - He Spends More Time Caring For His Friend - Diva May 14, 10:25 20
- Kevin sounds like a Saint. I don't know if I could do all that for non-family -- nm - Beaker May 14, 10:59
- "terminal illness" "some promise of recovery" Which is it?! -- nm - ty97 May 14, 10:36 6
  - I really though her last paragraph was gonna end with "But there's some real hope he may die soon, so Kevin will have more time for me!" -- nm - Inigo May 14, 10:38 3
    - I kinda did too -- nm - ty97 May 14, 10:45
    - She should just up her game and become more terminal than the roommate. Then she'll get all the attention. -- nm - Max May 14, 10:41
    - [deleted]
  - Maybe "Independently Terminal." Is that a status option on Facebook? -- nm - Max May 14, 10:37

- You're a terrible person and are lucky he hasn't cut you off yet. -- nm - spamlet May 14, 10:31 6
  - I disagree. It's not unfair for her to want what she needs. This sitch may not be right for her and if that's the case she should move on. - Diva May 14, 10:35 5
    - I think it's incredibly selfish to want him to stop taking care of somebody that needs it for her. - spamlet May 14, 10:47 3
      - I don't think I read the same letter you read. -- nm - Diva May 14, 11:00
      - I didn't get the sense that she wanted him to stop caring for the friend, but rather find a way to give her at least some more attention/time. - ty97 May 14, 10:54
      - [deleted]
    - [deleted]
- he doesn't actually have to change. he sounds great. you just have to decide if he's worth the extra work. most people would say 'yes.' -- nm - Andie May 14, 10:30

- How can anyone seriously not believe that they as guilty? -- nm - GjallarShaun x 2 May 14, 10:20 12
  - That's the thing. People can debate the punishment all they want but the reigning champ cheated multiple times this year. - David May 14, 10:25 11
    - They've cheated multiple times for over a decade now, have at least 2 tainted championships...and yet, there's a fucking GoFundMe to pay the Patriots - Jim May 14, 10:34 1
      - This keeps getting better. - Shaun May 14, 10:39
    - The excuse seems to be "the rule is stupid, so I don't care that he cheated". Play within the rules and work to change the rules you think stink, but - TWuG May 14, 10:31
    - I mean seriously: TB "I have no clue who that dude is." "So why are you texting him?" - GjallarShaun x 2 May 14, 10:29 7

- That backyard! And the library! :-) -- nm - MDH May 14, 10:17
- [deleted]
- That is a rather lovely house -- nm - ty97 May 14, 10:02
- That looks great. -- nm - Will Hunting May 14, 10:01
- Very nice! I like the kitchen and the backyard is great. -- nm - Krusty May 14, 10:01
- Cool! -- nm - Loyola May 14, 10:01
- really really nice. and a pond! -- nm - Andie May 14, 10:00 3
  - also, i like that it is Three Thousand AND ONE square feet. -- nm - Andie May 14, 10:01 2
    - It's so spacious, like you could take an odyssey of some kind in it ... -- nm - Beryllium May 14, 10:04 1
      - in my world that house is a mansion. -- nm - Andie May 14, 10:07
- I like the lighting in the kitchen :) -- nm - Beryllium May 14, 09:58
- great.....the back yard with the gazebo and pond are very nice -- nm - prayformojo May 14, 09:57 2
  - The gazebo is pretty awesome. Nice screens with electricity inside. - Inigo May 14, 10:08 1
    - Or to make out :) -- nm - spamlet May 14, 10:30
- [deleted]
- classic style, I like that very much -- nm - Max May 14, 09:56 2
  - but that wood slide on the play fort looks like it would be horrible on butts and legs! -- nm - Max May 14, 09:58 1
    - It's already been 4 year old approved. Also, you said "wood". - Inigo May 14, 10:04
Have you heard about Qi charging for your phone? -- nm - Loyola May 14, 09:41 8
- My G3 has it. I bought a cheap ebay charger and it did not work. I gave up, as what I read is that if you put a case on the phone it can interfere. -- nm - Spawn May 14, 09:52 1
  - Crap that is a drawback. -- nm - Loyola May 14, 09:58
- (it'll be on all the new models within a year or two. it's wireless charging...you leave your phone on a pad and it will charge away.) - Loyola May 14, 09:50 3
  - yeah the S6 has it - I believe the charger is an extra 50 bucks or so -- nm - decline May 14, 09:51 2
    - You can get generic qi chargers for like $15-$20. -- nm - Ender May 14, 11:12
    - This would be cool at every bar and restaurant table; -- (link) - Loyola May 14, 09:58 [youtube]

I'm tired of this MFing Blob in my MFing town -- (link) - volnelk May 14, 09:40 2
- Uh... didn';t they already remake this? -- nm - Spawn May 14, 09:42 1
  - Yes, they are remaking THAT one. -- nm - volnelk May 14, 09:45
Spawn, do you even listen when you play Destiny? - Gjallargroin x 3 May 14, 09:38 9
- there are a few time I can't hear a damn thing in the party. -- nm - Remlik May 14, 09:46 5
  - Just assume that I'm telling you to stop dying. -- nm - David May 14, 10:24 2
    - when are you back???? -- nm - Gjallargroin x 3 May 14, 10:33 1
      - Saturday. -- nm - David May 14, 10:33
  - game chat mutes whenever you travel, so you will lose comm when we are going from mission to the tower. - Gjallargroin x 3 May 14, 09:48 1
    - Duh. -- nm - GjallarShaun x 2 May 14, 10:07
- Could not hear anything last night. Think I figured out what was wrong after I signed off. - Spawn May 14, 09:41 2
  - doofus, it would have been just you and I running the Nightfall. - Gjallargroin x 3 May 14, 09:43 1
    - Duh. -- nm - GjallarShaun x 2 May 14, 10:05
spamlet, we've been avoiding GWL until Nathan's a bit older, mainly because of the price. we've heard similar to what pfm said about nothing being inc - kelly May 14, 09:34 3
- Ah. GWL isn't very romantic for a getaway :) - spamlet May 14, 10:33 1
  - She's 400 miles away. She'd be flying here to stay for a few days. -- nm - kelly May 14, 11:07
- The GWL down the street from me will be opening "early in 2016." It's biggest draw will be proximity to Disneyland. -- nm - Meg May 14, 09:52
[deleted] 14
- Seems like a really early start. Any reason for that? -- nm - Krusty May 14, 09:37 13
  - [deleted] 12
    - On a get away day? Games start at 12:35 and stuff like that all the time. - volnelk May 14, 09:50 5
      - Really? Huh. I don't think I ever noticed it before. How is that possible? -- nm - Krusty May 14, 09:51 4
        
        they have to allow teams enough time to travel. Sometimes if the cities they are going to are close - Gjallargroin x 3 May 14, 09:53 3
        
        This also gives the players time to scout the local talent after check in. -- nm - Zunk xometimes May 14, 10:50
        
        Sure and they play at 1:00. 12:30 is odd. -- nm - Krusty May 14, 10:03 1
        
        I know they play day games on travel days, that's very common. I just meant the 12:30 start is weird. -- nm - Krusty May 14, 10:05
    - I know the Red Sox do it on Patriots' Day. I don't think I've seen another team play before 1:00. -- nm - Krusty May 14, 09:50 5
      - Reds have seven 12:35 home games still this year. -- nm - volnelk May 14, 09:52 4
        
        Weird. Clicking on several team schedules, maybe it's just the Reds. A lot of teams look like they play at 1:05 -- nm - volnelk May 14, 09:59 3
        
        Yeah, it's strange to me. Playing fantasy baseball you'd think I'd remember seeing this before but nope. Seems odd to me. -- nm - Krusty May 14, 10:04 2
        
        If you google mlb 12:35 starts, you mostly get stuff about the Brewers and Reds. -- nm - volnelk May 14, 10:07 1
        
        Weirdos! :-) -- nm - Krusty May 14, 10:09
I was informed about the Trainer position: They're not filling the position at all. - Dano May 14, 09:30 7
- This was the one you had to make a presentation for? -- nm - Beryllium May 14, 09:40 1
  - Yes. I'm not too upset. It was good experience and it got me in front of the higher ups in that department. -- nm - Dano May 14, 09:42
- Oh eff them! -- nm - Spawn May 14, 09:32
- Is that good or bad for you? -- nm - iSpam May 14, 09:30 3
  - It's better for my stress level because now I don't have to make a decision. The Supervisor position in my current department should be posted tomorrow or Monday. -- nm - Dano May 14, 09:34 2
    - That's what I meant. I didn't know if you heard about the other one yet. -- nm - iSpam May 14, 09:55
    - Ah, so you can still move up. That is good, at least. -- nm - Spawn May 14, 09:41
