so st poll. you have no running water at work, none. how long do you stay before you just go home for the day? - tRuMaN with an army of monkeys Apr 7, 08:01 14
- I'd stay, especially if there was someplace like a diner or something nearby if I really had to use the bathroom. -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 08:09
- The first time I needed to go look for McD's or a gas station for a restroom I'd just keep going :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 7, 08:07
- I would stay because I am hourly, and I could just walk to the community college and use their facilities -- nm - con_carne Apr 7, 08:07
- Last year the water was out here for almost a week. We just used the bathrooms in the neighboring building. -- nm - Dano Apr 7, 08:05
- I would stay all day -- nm - decline Apr 7, 08:05

    - Damn! What is management doing about this? -- nm - amoxy Apr 7, 08:04 1
      - my boss says go home when you want, basically, but he expects you to work a full day - tRuMaN with an army of monkeys Apr 7, 08:06
- Here, it's illegal (I think). -- nm - General Shaun Apr 7, 08:02 1
  - yeah, well, I thought that the city health department would close the building - tRuMaN with an army of monkeys Apr 7, 08:02

  - I usually think $10-15 is casual date quality -- nm - Hotkiss Apr 7, 08:01
  - this fits that description, I think. -- nm - znufrii Apr 7, 08:00
- Not fancy but casual dateish -- nm - Hotkiss Apr 7, 07:58 1
  - I like this answer -- nm - Walt_Disney Apr 7, 08:02
- No. They have al fresco dining and they have delivery/takeout. -- nm - con_carne Apr 7, 07:57 2
  - Fresco? What's that - eating off the walls? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 7, 08:01 1

watching fox news late last night, its amazing the things we can blame obama for. - tRuMaN with an army of monkeys Apr 7, 07:54 10

Just watching Dumbo, and realizing how much of a fuss would be done today about the scene where they get drunk with soapy water. - celedhring Apr 7, 07:54 2

Suck it, Loosi! - Krusty Apr 7, 07:48 9
- heh, saw that. I wonder how I backed down. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:48 8
  - If you built any military it will lower your overall score. I bought another cargo ship which gave me a nice bump. -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 07:49 6
    - really? I thought military would raise it. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:50 5
      - You have to use citizens to increase your military. The loss of the citizens hurts your score more than the new military units increase it. - Krusty Apr 7, 07:52 4
        
        I overbuilt my town halls - tRuMaN with an army of monkeys Apr 7, 07:58 3
        
        I just wait till Im up to the max then upgrade my town hall -- nm - eag Apr 7, 08:02 2
        
        I have 2 towns that are lvl 8 a 6 a 5 and a 4 -- nm - eag Apr 7, 08:04 1
        
        change that lvl 7 instead of 6 and 2 lvl 5's -- nm - eag Apr 7, 08:09
  - it's like seeing a Tom and Jerry cartoon - Danedukenuuk Apr 7, 07:49
of course, the solution is to just send the kids to theraopy, so they won't want juice anymore! - znufrii Apr 7, 07:47 26
- Hasn't there always been juice? We didn't just invent juice. - TFox Apr 7, 07:48 24
  - yeah we did. it's a 20th century product. Nowhere in nature is there a food that is all sugar and no fiber. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:49 23
    - to be label'd "juice" it can't have added ingredients here - Danedukenuuk Apr 7, 07:53 17
      - orange, apple, grape juice are all super high in sugar. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:54 16
        
        my mom made homemade grape juice when I was a kid. it was really good. -- nm - znufrii Apr 7, 07:57 1
        
        my mom made homemade brownies. they contained milk in the form of butter. :) -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:58
        
        well grape has almost no calories i think 50 per 100g or so - Danedukenuuk Apr 7, 07:55 13
        
        it has lots of calories, check it out. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:56 12
        
        wel i did hon...and grape juice is pritty low on the calorie count - Danedukenuuk Apr 7, 07:57 11
        
        compared to what? it's all empty calories. Grape juice has zero nutritional value. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:58 10
        
        thats true water is better zero of everything - Danedukenuuk Apr 7, 08:01 1
        
        your calorie counts are completely wrong. please post sources. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 08:02
        
        Exhibit A and all that, but I really don't understand why you seem to want to argue over this so passionately. -- nm - General Shaun Apr 7, 07:59 7
        
        Lots of studies about how it's a significant contributor to childhood obesity, which I think was the original topic. -- nm - Callisto Apr 7, 08:02 1
        
        and the problem with juice specifically is that people have been convinced it's healthy. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 08:03
        
        Mmm, passionfruit juice -- nm - Beryllium Apr 7, 08:00
        
        one fourth of American kids are obese. that is bad. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 08:00 3
        
        This doesn't answer my question, but whatever. -- nm - General Shaun Apr 7, 08:03
        
        it has as much to do, imho, with the increasingly sedentary lifestyle we are developing than their sugar intake, imho. -- nm - znufrii Apr 7, 08:01 1
        
        I'm not discounting that in any way. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 08:02
    - Well, not always like "fire, then wheel, then juice". But always like "holy shit, in 1996 Capri-Sun just blew our fucking minds!" -- nm - TFox Apr 7, 07:52 3
      - (as in, the latter did not happen) -- nm - TFox Apr 7, 07:52 1
        
        all the articles about child obesity points to the dramatic increase of sugary drink consumption. - loosilu Apr 7, 07:53
      - and how fat are kids now? -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:52
    - before that, it was called fruit. One apple has 60 calories and a ton of fiber. One serving of apple juice has over 200 calories which by the way - loosilu Apr 7, 07:50
- or drink water, for free. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:47
Wow. So we can blame Obama for (major house spoiler from last night)? That is ... unusual. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 7, 07:47
