Pookey Bear. -- nm - lileve Apr 13, 13:15
did I ever mention that I have Chipacabra wallpaper on my desktop? -- nm - zork Apr 13, 13:13 1
- he's in the Hamilton Spectator today -- (link) - Andie Apr 13, 13:14
*does the 10,000 point dance on .org* -- nm - Beaker Apr 13, 12:52 11
- There's points? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 13, 13:12
- I am happy I finally passed Dignan and hit 30,000 last night. nm - Jovian Apr 13, 12:59 5
  - It is amazing how you gain speed. I already hit 25,000 today and wa snot even at 23,000 last night. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 13:05 2
    - It has to be that people are buying loads of cargo ships. No other way to gain points that fast. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 13:22 1
      - I *wish* I had cash for cargo ships. Workshop upgrades are getting expensive! -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 13:26
  - congrats! I think dignan is asking for trouble, fwiw, by building without enough military. - loosilu Apr 13, 13:04 1
    - yggm -- nm - CQ Apr 13, 13:10
- congrats! -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 12:59
- Hey, I just crossed that on the .com side. ^5 -- nm - con_carne Apr 13, 12:59
- Welcome to the party, pal! -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 12:57
- Not bragging, just say. I appear to have catapulted past 10,000 this weekend. I wasn't even following. -- nm - Mop (239 lbs) Apr 13, 12:55
Holy crap! The Bainbridge actually rammed the lifeboat on Saturday to keep it from reaching Somali shores. -- nm - TWuG Apr 13, 12:49 3
- Did we all know that the Bainbridge had been joined by the USS Haliburton? No joke. How does that happen? -- nm - Mop (239 lbs) Apr 13, 12:50 2
  - It happens like this. (Wikipedia about USS Halyburton) -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 13, 12:52
  - USS Halyburton - decline Apr 13, 12:52
One last post for pmb and a question for the ST ladies...is it actually uncommon for a woman to not want to move into the ex's house? - Jim Apr 13, 12:49 30
- I wouldn't like it. I'd do it and then change everything to make it reflective of " us" - Epiphany Apr 13, 12:55
- I wonder what would be her response if he asked her about looking for a new home. -- nm - zork Apr 13, 12:53 20
  - That's what I'm thinking. What if he were to say to her...we're not putting any more money into changing anything in this house. - Jim Apr 13, 12:53 19
    - My feelings on this were that I didn't want to take the house away from the kids. - pmb Apr 13, 12:57 8
      - Anyway...though...it seems like the feelings your daughters have are normal and the feelings your fiancee has are normal... - Jim Apr 13, 13:04
      - oh, of course. -- nm - Andie Apr 13, 13:00
      - I can understand that, but it might cost you your finance. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 12:59 5
        
        his fiancee too -- nm - zork Apr 13, 13:00
        
        But he's monocle... -- nm - Diva Apr 13, 13:00 3
        
        lol. It is impossible to say "finance" (on the phone) and type "finance"!!! -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 13:06 1
        
        I'm thinking he has a fiancee and not a fiance - zork Apr 13, 13:12
        
        He probably has lots of finance. -- nm - Inigo Apr 13, 13:06
    - That would make his daughters feely completely displaced. In their minds they are having to give up their home for her. -- nm - jnine Apr 13, 12:54 9
      - So instead...he should give up his fiancee for them? -- nm - Jim Apr 13, 13:02 3
        
        No. But this is something I think his fiancee has to compromise on, for now. -- nm - jnine Apr 13, 13:04
        
        to be fair, this isn't as simple as 'the issues will all go away if they move." it's painfully complex. :( -- nm - Andie Apr 13, 13:03 1
        
        Maybe. maybe not. Seems to me the wife-to-be wants some sort of token/sign/something that says he's in this for the long haul with her. - Jim Apr 13, 13:05
      - he doesn't have to say to them that this is the reason. He could say that there are too many painful memories for himself there -- nm - zork Apr 13, 12:58 3
        
        kids are more clever than you give them credit for. -- nm - znufrii Apr 13, 12:59 2
        
        I'm not saying that he needs to fool them, but he can tell them that his primary motivator is the history there. -- nm - zork Apr 13, 13:01 1
        
        They are going to see right through that. It's important to be honest during a difficult time like this. -- nm - jnine Apr 13, 13:02
      - I agree with this. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 12:56
- I would be uncomfortable moving into a house where everyone already is established and has their routine. The more time I spent there before I moved - jnine Apr 13, 12:51
- hmmm, that's a hard question that depends on a lot of factors. Overall I probably would not care ... unless there was a lot of "her" in that house, - loosilu Apr 13, 12:51
- I can not imagine a woman would jump at the chance. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 12:51
- truthfully, i'd have a REAL hard time with that. it might not be a 'deal breaker', but it would be hard. - Andie Apr 13, 12:51 1
  - the china thing is totally understandable to me. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 12:52
- I think you may be very correct here. -- nm - zork Apr 13, 12:50

  - Not a woman?!? -- nm - Lug Apr 13, 12:57
Kilbo, actuals are in. Hannah Montana was over-estimated, giving it an even worse internal multiplier. -- nm - David Apr 13, 12:47 1
- I'd be surpirsed if it makes 60 million total. -- nm - Inigo Apr 13, 13:03
[deleted] 8
- Needs a haircut. -- nm - lileve Apr 13, 12:48 7
  - and a smile that isn't more of a lopsided smirk. -- nm - znufrii Apr 13, 12:48 6
    - [deleted] 4
      - do I have to say it in front of all these people? - znufrii Apr 13, 12:51 2
        
        No means no. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 12:55
        
        Just let me get a glove on *snap*. -- nm - lileve Apr 13, 12:54
      - you need to be more subtle than this -- nm - zork Apr 13, 12:51
    - Maybe there was a finger up his ass at the time? - lileve Apr 13, 12:49
ST Tech Help: On the USB storage drives not showing up. There are 3 plugged in. One shows up in My Computers, the others don't. However, all show up - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 13, 12:43 1
- Reboot with all of them plugged in. Probably they're all fighting for the same drive letter. -- nm - Subversive Apr 13, 12:44
Man suing the White Sox after being "attacked" by a T-shirt fired by one of those T-Shirt cannons -- (link) - Beaker Apr 13, 12:40 5
- That is an *awesome* photograph. -- nm - Mop (239 lbs) Apr 13, 12:43 4
  - even I think that's an awesome rack. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 12:45
  - She can fire a t-shirt at me any time. - Stephen Apr 13, 12:44 2
    - She was hired for her throwing arm. -- nm - Mop (239 lbs) Apr 13, 12:53
    - maybe the guy's plan is to get her in court so he can hit on her. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 12:46
Hrm, looks like we're not putting in an offer on the house yet. Hrm. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 12:39 1
- ... 12 days on the market, at a somewhat-fair but still slightly high asking price ... -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 12:40
Hey, quick question...My NFL auction draft is three seasons old. One guy has finished 1-2-2. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 13, 12:38 6
- Lots, but to me regular season record is almost as impressive as where you finish because the playoffs in wk 14-17 can be a crapshoot. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 13, 12:49 2
  - 3-1-1 on that front. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 13, 12:52 1
    - Very impressive. - Strongbad Apr 13, 12:54
- alot. -- nm - Beaker Apr 13, 12:40

- I almost mentioned it yesterday. - David Apr 13, 12:45 6
  - true, but tony g would - tRuMaN with an army of monkeys Apr 13, 12:46 5
    - Oh, you don't have to sell me on the greatness of Gonzalez. - David Apr 13, 12:49 4
      - Disagree on Davis. He rose purely on combine numbers, not productivity in college. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 13, 12:57 1
        
        That's the revisionist history. The reality is that he was a first team All-American in college. - David Apr 13, 13:07
      - if you were the gm, which would you take. - tRuMaN with an army of monkeys Apr 13, 12:53 1
        
        I honestly don't know. I lean toward Tony Gonzalez, but it's very close. - David Apr 13, 12:55
Bust or not? 2006 NFL Draft edition. - David Apr 13, 12:32 5
- I would have liked Cutler in a Texans uniform. Him and Peyton going toe-to-toe twice a year. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 13, 12:36
- i never get tired of hearing the name "Brodrick Bunkley" -- nm - prayformojo Apr 13, 12:34
- [deleted] 2
  - In fact, I was just reading it over lunch. -- nm - David Apr 13, 12:42 1
    - (but I'm still not being that guy) -- nm - David Apr 13, 12:42
[deleted] 3
- YES!!!!!!! Because if he does something stupid like trade both 1sts to move up and take Sanchez... - Jim Apr 13, 12:45

JD arguing solely the entire quote in that article I wouldn't say that that is an extreme view. - Stephen Apr 13, 12:31 3
- I've been watching the Holmes in New Orleans series on HGTV Canada ... it's really sad what hasn't been done in NOLA. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 12:35

  - Then on that we are in agreement :) -- nm - Stephen Apr 13, 12:34
late to the party, but for pmb, my heart goes out to you. Best wishes in working this out. And if it doesn't work out, - loosilu Apr 13, 12:30 19
- word. best of luck -- nm - Beaker Apr 13, 12:41
- word to the IM. One thing about your kids being teenagers ... - zork Apr 13, 12:35
- Yeah, I can't imagine all the emotional turmoil he's going through right now. - Stephen Apr 13, 12:33 2
  - plus I believe he had to let people go recently at work too! -- nm - zork Apr 13, 12:36
  - no one deserves this less than monocle. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 12:35
- Just read the BB. Sorry, pmb. That's really rough. -- nm - Inigo Apr 13, 12:31
- also, I really need to learn how to edit repeated phrases. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 12:31
- totally thought your digits were going to be inside ;) -- nm - kare Apr 13, 12:31 11
  - *laughing* -- nm - con_carne Apr 13, 12:33
  - ha! no, I don't need or want to prey on the freshly single. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 12:31
  - score another one for the online harem! -- nm - znufrii Apr 13, 12:31 8
    - we are now a *roving* online harem - Epiphany Apr 13, 12:33 4
      - I like this. can we be very particular? I saw a dude at Easter Mass yesterday who was a dead ringer for Jared P. yum yum. - loosilu Apr 13, 12:35 3
        
        Hells Yes - that sounds freakin divine - Epiphany Apr 13, 12:39 2
        
        a matching set, as it were. I won't be greedy, we can share. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 12:40 1
        
        *giddy* they sound just lovely - like Angels even. -- nm - Epiphany Apr 13, 13:04
    - pmb is a *catch*. the catch of catches. -- nm - kare Apr 13, 12:32 2
      - Too bad the servants screen so rigorously -- nm - con_carne Apr 13, 12:36

TTIS - does anyone have experience with using an MP3 player to download audio-books? A friend of mine had one this weekend to listen to books in camp - MojaveMeg Apr 13, 12:29 4
- just checked and ... - zork Apr 13, 12:49
- and don't forget to switch it out of shuffle mode -- nm - zork Apr 13, 12:32
- depends on the bit rate. My Harry Potters range from around 250 or 300 MB per book to 1.2 GB or so. If you get one that takes micro SD cards it works - zork Apr 13, 12:32
- Kim has an iPod just for this purpose. She's got the entire Harry Potter series on it. Ask her for details next time you see her. -- nm - David Apr 13, 12:30
Last Wednesday we finally gave Logan a pillow for his crib. He slept 4 nights in a row, straight through. - Spawn Apr 13, 12:28 10
- Definitely sending them! I wonder if we should try giving Ally a pillow for her crib. -- nm - Subversive Apr 13, 12:48 1
  - Connor doesn't have a pillow, but he has a bear that he got for St. Patricks day last year that he uses as one. -- nm - Stephen Apr 13, 12:57
- Then good thoughts you shall have! -- nm - Stephen Apr 13, 12:40

    - Ain't it though?! He is the King of Dialog - Epiphany Apr 13, 12:34 1
