If Drumph were a car salesman, he'd point to your pile of smoldering wreckage on the highway and say, what peoblem, it's still on the road -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 11, 13:15 3

  - I get that in craft stores, home depot -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 11, 12:55
  - My effin' husband! -- nm - Frustrated Mar 11, 12:28

  - when/if mel and I ever do something for like, Europe I plan to use an agent. -- nm - Diva Mar 11, 12:29 16
    - same for us. The Viking cruiseslook neat -- nm - Beaker Mar 11, 12:55 1
      - I'd totally be a viking at that. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 11, 13:14
    - People are wired differently but I am *so* glad we did NOT do that. - Spawn Mar 11, 12:37 10
      - I will do what I want during the day but I wouldn't mind an agent helping to find hotels/flights for me. *shrug* -- nm - Diva Mar 11, 12:38 9
        
        Right, get is to and from, find us a nice place to stay (clean with a well stocked bar) and leave us alone after that. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 11, 12:45 3
        
        We were barely in our room. If so we were showering or in bed. -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 13:21 1
        
        I initially read this as showering in bed -- nm - JD Mar 11, 13:29
        
        exactamundo. -- nm - Diva Mar 11, 12:47
        
        I can understand it, but it was great to land and have zero idea what city we would be in day-to-day. -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 12:40 4
        
        gawd I would hate that -- nm - decline Mar 11, 12:45 2
        
        I like to know where I'm going to sleep. And paying for a hotel the day you arrive is usually *much* more expensive than booking in advance. -- nm - Diva Mar 11, 12:54 1
        
        I live my life on a schedule. It was nice to not have to. -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 13:06

- 2016 can kiss my ass. -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 12:09
- 2016, the year of dying -- nm - decline Mar 11, 12:06 3
  - At this rate, like 1/70th of the world's population is going to die this year! -- nm - Ender Mar 11, 12:14
  - Is it really only March!?! -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 12:10 1
    - get your affairs in order -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 11, 12:19
The Hispanic vote is pretty much up in the air -- (link) - decline Mar 11, 12:01 17
- Hillary can afford to lose Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ohio and still beat Trump as long as she wins Colorado -- (link) - sweet baboo Mar 11, 12:04 16
  - The thing that's starting to frighten me about Drumph is his recent turn back to the middle. - Mel Profit Mar 11, 12:16 15
    - The anti hillary dirty tricks have not yet been planted, only If she's not indicted for those emails -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 11, 13:10 1
      - We are going to see the world's most dishonest salesman pillow hillary over her perceived honesty -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 11, 13:13
    - Although I can imagine the triangulation of Bubba, Barry and Hills on the campaign trail. - Mel Profit Mar 11, 12:28
    - I agree. I am getting to the point where I think there is very little Trump can do right now to sink the ship -- nm - amoxy Mar 11, 12:25 1
      - A huge part of the electorate isn't even engaged yet. He's getting about 1/3 of the voteIn a party that represents less than half the electorate - TWuG Mar 11, 12:27
    - You don't think his acceptance of white suprmacist support won't worry them? -- nm - nic to be determined Mar 11, 12:22 1
      - More and more I think that's less of a disqualifier than it was before. - Mel Profit Mar 11, 12:27
    - What surprises me about Trump supporters is their turning from "bought" politicians to the person who represents the buyers of those same politicians. -- nm - TWuG Mar 11, 12:22 1
      - then there's this. - Mel Profit Mar 11, 12:48
    - If he proves to have zero policy answers like he did last night, I cant imagine how he can win the general. -- nm - Jovian Mar 11, 12:19 1
      - that more than anything may be the thing that kills his chances, I hope. - Mel Profit Mar 11, 12:24
    - if Mitt Romney couldn't pull that two-step off . . . -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 11, 12:18 3
      - Mitt couldn't do it because the GOP never accepted him as one of their own. - Mel Profit Mar 11, 12:21 2
        
        he won't be able to stay calm and still deliver the rabid Hillary takedown he's promised the yokels - sweet baboo Mar 11, 12:23 1
        
        They do seem to expect him to gnaw on her, true. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 11, 12:24
bonus hax chat q: daughter hasn't asked for $$ from the parents for her wedding, so they wanna use some of it to fly their other kids out - sweet baboo Mar 11, 12:01 38
- Did you try asking her what she thinks? - znufrii Mar 11, 12:25 11
  - you know what, though - she might just like to have the same gift her other siblings got. I don't think that would make her selfish. -- (edited) - Diva Mar 11, 12:31 10
    - It's really not any of her business how much the other siblings got at the time, imho. - znufrii Mar 11, 12:33 9
      - Her father is right to feel uneasy. He's uneasy because it's a shitty thing to do. -- nm - Loyola Mar 11, 12:40
      - if i was aware that my siblings were gifted, say, $5000 each when they got married, and i got offered nothing or far less, I would be hurt. -- (edited) - Andie Mar 11, 12:35 3
        
        Where did I suggest it shouldn't be brought up? -- nm - znufrii Mar 11, 12:39 2
        
        well, when you say 'it's none of her business', that's implying they don't need to discuss any of this. -- nm* - Andie Mar 11, 12:41 1
        
        Not really, in light of my previous post on the thread. - znufrii Mar 11, 12:46
      - who said anything about the daughter asking for numbers? -- (edited) - Diva Mar 11, 12:33 3
        
        How else would she know she was getting the same gift? -- nm - znufrii Mar 11, 12:47 2
        
        I meant 'the gift everyone got for their wedding' not necessarily a specific line item. Although I can see how the earlier post could be misconstrued. -- nm - Diva Mar 11, 12:50
        
        because maybe it came up with her siblings at the time? -- nm - Andie Mar 11, 12:49
- Maybe she's having a small thing because they can't afford more (maybe not, of course.) I think if you have wedding money for daughter, that's HER - Andie Mar 11, 12:09 3
  - Word. Do the kids have to *ask* for a wedding present in order to get it? Did the two others get the same amount? Give her the same present. -- nm - Loyola Mar 11, 12:11
  - (i want to hear the hax response for this one.) -- nm - Andie Mar 11, 12:11 1
    - carolyn sez . . . - sweet baboo Mar 11, 12:12
- why tell her if it doesn't matter to her and she won't care? -- nm - Diva Mar 11, 12:04 3
  - "My husband said that he can't put his finger on it, but he feels uneasy with that." i can put my finger exactly on it -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 11, 12:06 2
    - #wherespixiesfinger -- nm - Diva Mar 11, 12:10 1
      - ask amber rose -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 11, 12:14
- give your daughter all her money and pay for the other kids, ya' cheapskate -- nm - decline Mar 11, 12:04 17
  - Then they'd be getting more. Give daughter money and let her pay for siblings if she wants them there. It's her wedding. -- nm - nic to be determined Mar 11, 12:06 16
    - see, that's not exactly true. Money to fly in siblings is NOT money for daughter's wedding. -- nm - Andie Mar 11, 12:08 7
      - It would depend on the family, but I'd think having them there would be a rather integral part of the day. -- nm - znufrii Mar 11, 12:28 3
        
        sure, i agree. but i think it's the daughter's decision what do with money that is meant for her. -- nm - Andie Mar 11, 12:38 2
        
        (and doing it 'behind her back' makes it feel sneaky when it shouldn't be) -- nm - Andie Mar 11, 12:39 1
        
        Like I said give her the money, if she wants to use it pay for tickets that's her choice. She gets to chose how it applies to her wedring. -- nm - nic to be determined Mar 11, 13:10
      - Mom thinks it is. -- nm - nic to be determined Mar 11, 12:09 2
        
        right, but i am saying the reason they are uneasy, and asking, is because on some level they know that isn't okay. -- nm - Andie Mar 11, 12:10 1
        
        Dad does, Mom doesn't and wanted Hax to reassure her she's right. -- nm - nic to be determined Mar 11, 12:17
    - all hypothetical but as much as i love my brothers, i would be hard pressed to pay for 12 plane tickets and hotel rooms -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 11, 12:07 7
      - Mom was going to take half that money to do it. Maybe the daughter is having the wedding so far away to keep them from coming. -- nm - nic to be determined Mar 11, 12:09
      - to say nothing of the 8 stepsisters and their kids -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 11, 12:09 5
