      - That is nearly a mirror image of what I looked like with my bandage - ty97 Dec 10, 17:49 3
        
        Oh that is going to be fine. I thought you meant all up on your forehead or over your eyes -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 10, 17:52 2

    - Aqua Velva per The Ladies Man orders. -- nm - Max Windu Dec 10, 17:50
    - they recommend not using antibiotic topicals (at least after a bit) as it can prevent filling-in from happening. -- nm - bb.-8. Dec 10, 17:42

  - yeah, with that and the Maritan, I don't see another scifi movie getting in. -- nm - mafic Dec 10, 17:33 7
    - Did you see that Elders video? I think you are all underestimating the power of Star Wars now. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 10, 17:34 5
      - I could see it displacing Mad Max, but it would need to be more than just popular. -- nm - mafic Dec 10, 17:36 4
        
        Well, it already is that. I bring up the elders specifically thinking about how old a lot of the Academy is. - Spawn Solo Dec 10, 17:57 3
        
        my point is that it has to be more than a crowd pleaser. if it's your standard jj abrams action movie, but with star wars characters, I don't see it. -- nm - mafic Dec 10, 18:04 2
        
        Pieces of the puzzle. - Spawn Solo Dec 10, 18:07 1

- I've already carried my 6s+ around more in three months than I did in two years with my 5s. -- nm - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 10, 17:43
- Wait til Tim gets a load of *me* -- (link) - iPhone 10 Dec 10, 17:20 [Image] 3

  - I just got the LG G Stylo cause it was a good deal I didn't think I'd want a phone above 5 inch screen - eag Dec 10, 17:20 3
    - I can't go back to a smaller size phone. I use it a lot and I really like the extra screen size. - Krusty Dec 10, 17:26 2
      - Also, the camera in this phone is just sick! The manual options make it amazing and the video camera has a steady cam where there's no blur when - Krusty Dec 10, 17:30
      - word -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 10, 17:27
- yeah, i didn't think i would want an s-plus but living with just the s, i can see the value in having something bigger next model -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 10, 17:13 18
  - I just couldn't handle something that didn't fit in my pocket. -- nm - mafic Dec 10, 17:15 17
    - How small are your pockets? -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 10, 17:20 15
      - I wear really tight pants. -- nm - mafic Dec 10, 17:21 14
        
        You might as well carry a man purse thing then. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 10, 17:22 13
        
        I have a regular 6. much bigger than that and it would stick out the top of some of my pants pockets. - mafic Dec 10, 17:29 12
        
        These are men's jeans? - Krusty Dec 10, 17:44 11
        
        I know, right? My G3 is about the same size as what he is talking about and it fits fine in a pocket. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 10, 17:58 2
        
        yeah, but you're an old man, and I'm hip and with it! - mafic Dec 10, 18:05 1
        
        How tall are you? -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 10, 18:08
        
        almost exclusively! -- nm - mafic Dec 10, 17:53 1
        
        :-) -- nm - Krusty Dec 10, 18:04
        
        I was going to whine a little about women's! I like my 6-plus a lot, but I fear it not being deep enough in my pocket. -- nm - bb.-8. Dec 10, 17:47 5
        
        I know ladies pants pockets are more shallow, it's the only complaint my gf has about using a large phone. - Krusty Dec 10, 17:54 4
        
        I know a girl that uses an ipad mini as her phone. I wish she'd rock it on her shoulder like an '80s boombox, but she has headphones. -- nm - mafic Dec 10, 18:00
        
        I've read some companies are making bigger pockets for clothes and in purses (that's a thing, too); but I've yet to see any of the former and, so far, - bb.-8. Dec 10, 17:56 2
        
        I can't believe no one has stepped up to the plate yet and made the pockets deeper. - Krusty Dec 10, 18:03 1
        
        you're swell; but I meant to add "for clothes I can/would wear" - there are some out there, just not for me, for cost/style/fit reasons. -- nm - bb.-8. Dec 10, 18:08
    - i would have to try it out for that, to be sure -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 10, 17:19

  - You play to win the game. -- nm - Seven Strongbads Swimming Dec 10, 17:36 3
