  - mold got them. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 9, 12:54
  - they keep them up there all frozen and stuff in case they run out of food -- nm - decline Dec 9, 12:52 3
    - Makes sense I guess. Though I don't think a BBQ will work well up there. -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 9, 12:54 2
      - microwave - although the smell lingers for days -- nm - decline Dec 9, 12:55 1

- i cut my own hair now (for real), hair stylists never listened to me either. it's really really horrible, i totally sympathise. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 9, 12:49 1
  - I remember us empathizing with each other in the past. the thing that gets me about jessica is that she does seem to listen.. and it still goes bad. -- nm - bb.-8 Dec 9, 12:59
- You should have stabbed her with the scissors. Or knocked her down and then buzzed her head. -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 9, 12:43
- no it looks great *averts gaze* -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 9, 12:43 3
  - *stooge pokes* it doesn't look that bad, it's just not what I wanted, especially with more cold weather ahead. (gonna tax my scarf supply, haha.) -- nm - bb.-8 Dec 9, 12:46 2

- Of course. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 9, 12:43
I have some mold too. It's in the caulking of the shower. I've cleaned repeatedly and used bleach/water spray. -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 9, 12:34 6
- opaque caulking or clear? I've found that, if it's in the clear kind, it's impossible to banish. -- nm - bb.-8 Dec 9, 12:44 3
  - It's white caulking. I think it's just old and needs to be replaced. I'm debating on doing it myself or making the landlord do it. -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 9, 12:45 2
    - White Caulkers, bad -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 9, 12:49
    - when I rented, I did fill-ins myself; but, for replacement, I'd ask the landlord, unless you fear a rent increase - they can have a pro. make sure - bb.-8 Dec 9, 12:48
- Crap. This should have been below. Oh well. -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 9, 12:36 1
  - It has happened twice on this board alone. It is time for bery to allow us to move our posts. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 9, 12:44
"The Mets and Pirates agree to a Jon Niese-for-Neil Walker trade" - Mark HaML Dec 9, 12:33 3

sitwap: but DAWSON Alert: Justice Scalia Suggests Blacks Belong at "Slower" Colleges -- (link) - Remlik Dec 9, 12:13 17
- [deleted]
- To be fair, I think that's an exaggeration of what he's saying. His suggestion is that black students who don't make the cut solely on their own - pmb Dec 9, 12:22 6
  - Yes, that's what I was focusing on when I said they miss out on the better opportunities. -- nm - pmb Dec 9, 12:42 1
    - This goes under Dawson's post below this one. -- nm - pmb Dec 9, 12:42
  - [deleted]
  - [deleted] 2
    - Really? He's saying that only black people who get in via the 1/4 that aren't top 10% are better served elsewhere? Not just those that get - pmb Dec 9, 12:40 1
      - [deleted]
- I continue to be embarrassed by this guy. Sorry everyone. -- nm - Senator Profitine Dec 9, 12:21
- I was just discussing this and I can't believe this is the thought process of a justice on the Supreme Court. -- (edited) - Krusty Dec 9, 12:20 6
  - In reading the article he was referring to an amicus brief, so how much of what he is quoted as saying is him - TWuGbacca Dec 9, 12:26 5
    - [deleted] 4
      - [deleted] 3
        
        I understood the gist of the words, I just wasn't sure if they were his or the brief's. -- nm - TWuGbacca Dec 9, 12:40 1

from bb's, in decreasing order of oomph/importance: zork, so very sorry about Blue. *hugs* :( - - bb.-8 Dec 9, 12:07 1

First holiday card of the season........... - Meg Dec 9, 12:05 3

Heh, twitter just outed Dog the Bounty Hunter as a likely Trump donor. - Beryllium Dec 9, 12:00
Vogue's article on our new shiny PM. -- (link) - ShaunShaun Dec 9, 11:59 13
- Apparently he just made a statement about the nanny thing, but I haven't seen the transcript yet. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 12:00 12
  - Basically, "We have different family requirements than the Harpers did. Overall 24 Sussex budget remains the same." -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 9, 12:09 10
    - That's fine, but the real issue is that there's a difference between childcare for a PM's family and everyone having access to government childcare. - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 9, 12:19 5
      - Using that argument though, wouldn't it logically extend childcare support to all cabinet, maybe even senior bureaucrats? All MPs? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 9, 12:27 4
        
        There's controversy in the Alberta leg because one of the new MLAs is pregnant - Reagen Dec 9, 13:28
        
        No, though there's certainly a discussion to be had about what family support is needed for people in those positions. -- nm - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 9, 12:32
        
        i don't know how it works, but is he provided just a flat number for household budget and can allocate as needed? - Landie Calrissian Dec 9, 12:28 1
        
        The household compliment has risen over the years. First time a chef was added it was controversial, but now standard. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 9, 12:36
    - so what did they cut out of the budget to allow for the hot nanny? Poutine? -- nm - decline Dec 9, 12:10 2
      - They're living in alternative digs because the PM's residence needs a huge reno. Maybe that has lower running costs -- nm - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 9, 12:21
      - Well, I'm guessing it wasn't hair products. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 12:16
    - fair enough. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 9, 12:10
  - did he take pointers from Ben Affleck ? -- nm - decline Dec 9, 12:02

  - The foreman of my parent's community should be concerned that it might. - ty97 Dec 9, 12:01 17

        My mother has spent half this year depressed about the troubles with this house - ty97 Dec 9, 12:12 13
        
        maybe you should start pressing for them to move to nyc. -- nm - bb.-8 Dec 9, 12:17 10
        
        My dad hates the taxes and the cold and can't understand how anyone could live in NYC. My mother is scared for me that I live in NYC. - ty97 Dec 9, 12:18 8
        
        I didn't give enough qualifiers to show I wasn't serious? ;p - bb.-8 Dec 9, 12:20 6
        
        I knew you weren't serious :) -- nm - ty97 Dec 9, 12:26 5

        Ice vs Mold, who will win? -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 9, 12:34
        
        My (slightly more) serious answer is they should move to Mexico near Dawson's family. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 9, 12:29 2
        
        Hey! doesn't Dawson's little sister have some ginormous house? Maybe they can move in? -- nm - decline Dec 9, 12:30 1

        yeah, but you're mold free! -- nm - decline Dec 9, 12:20

And...my parents have mold in their house. - ty97 Dec 9, 11:48 28
- I was afraid of that - sorry. :( - -- nm - bb.-8 Dec 9, 12:08
- Is that bad? - Krusty's Landlord si Dec 9, 12:01 20
  - wash the affected area with bleach. and then use a Mold Killing Spray a day or two later. - Landie Calrissian Dec 9, 12:06 14
    - I'll give it a shot this weekend and see what happens. It scares the crap out of me. -- (edited) - Krusty Dec 9, 12:14
    - We just bought some concrobium (sp?) for our basement. Hoping that knocks it out; I've been sick since we've moved in a year ago. -- nm - ewokicripple Dec 9, 12:11 12
      - honestly, i found the bleach washing the most effective thing. over everything else. - Landie Calrissian Dec 9, 12:14 11
        
        I have some growing in the caulking of the shower. Soft scrub and bleach/water spray is not helping. -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 9, 12:37 5
        
        recaulk -- nm - decline Dec 9, 12:41
        
        i had that happen once, We just scraped out the caulking and re-applied. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 9, 12:41 3
        
        The idea kind of freaks me out. I don't like mold. I'm fraid pulled the caulking out will give me legionaires or something. - Darth Sycor Dec 9, 12:46 1
        
        nah, not legionaires. Ebola -- nm - decline Dec 9, 12:50
        
        yah, and I meant to mention that above. better to be safe. -- nm - bb.-8 Dec 9, 12:45
        
        yup. When I was at the farmhouse back in 2011 and Hurricane Irene hit - decline Dec 9, 12:18
        
        Noted; I'll put that in the rotation. I've got to pull down all this stupid paneling to find out where the real trouble spots are. - ewokicripple Dec 9, 12:15 3
        
        :( but again, be careful with the chemical and bleach mixing. -- (edited) - Landie Calrissian Dec 9, 12:17 2
        
        I heard bleach + ammonia is a great combination for cleaning this type of stuff -- nm - decline Dec 9, 12:23 1
        
        *thwaps you with a rolled-up newspaper* bad, decline, bad bad. -- nm - bb.-8 Dec 9, 12:26

    - Haha! -- nm - Krusty's Landlord si Dec 9, 12:17

      - You would think they would have learned after the first time! -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 9, 11:56
