- Not local but I'm not sure anyone in NYC has an NYC number anymore. - ty97 Apr 13, 06:27 16
  - Random, my bf has a NYC area code since he got his phone while crashing at his sister's years ago. -- nm - MDH Apr 13, 06:35 2
    - If it's a 718 number, have him talk to Krusty :) -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 06:36 1
      - Heh. :-) I'd work something out. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 06:40
  - I've told this story here before, I'm sure. - znufrii Apr 13, 06:30 11
    - Hard to give up a number so many people have. My sister moved back here a decade ago and still has a number with an Ohio area code. -- nm* - Krusty Apr 13, 06:33 10
      - My brother, parents, and I are all on a family plan which requires the same area code. - ty97 Apr 13, 06:36 9
        
        Family plans don't require the same area code. Mine is PHL and my mother's is Denver -- nm - decline Apr 13, 06:53
        
        Family plan!? -- nm - MDH Apr 13, 06:50
        
        They're officially Floridians again? I hope they are very happy and can influence the people around them to be less crazy. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 06:40 6
        
        Texas house is sold, closing already happened. Florida closing is later this month -- (edited) - ty97 Apr 13, 06:43 5
        
        Wow. Best of luck to them! -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 06:51
        
        crazy. so how many times have they moved in the past few years? -- nm - decline Apr 13, 06:49 2
        
        Since they got married (at which time Mom moved into Dad's place) they have moved in: 1979, 1993, 2008, 2014, 2016 - ty97 Apr 13, 06:53 1
        
        it's escalating! They need an intervention -- nm - decline Apr 13, 06:54

You knew it was coming: Ivanka Trump blasts New York's registration rules - ty97 Apr 13, 06:22 28
- *shrug* I don't care what someone who admits to not being political thinks about our voting system. - Krusty Apr 13, 06:27 19
  - I think 3 months prior to the first vote anywhere being cast is a bit long of a wait...but the rules are the rules - Will Hunting Apr 13, 06:30 18
    - [deleted] 16
      - So that people that aren't actually behind the party platform jump on board and mess with the elections. - Krusty Apr 13, 06:43 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        I am 100% behind it because it's not a general election. It's for the people that are behind the party platform to choose its representative. - Krusty Apr 13, 06:48 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I doubt it. I don't really think enough people will switch to have a real effect on the primary for president. - Krusty Apr 13, 06:54
      - I could see setting it January 1st as presumably that's prior to any votes being taken - Will Hunting Apr 13, 06:42
      - Cronyism? In NY politics? Surely you can't be serious... -- nm - znufrii Apr 13, 06:42
      - I'm on the same page as you on it being too early, but Krusty does offer a decent defense of it. - ty97 Apr 13, 06:41 8
        
        Right. If you want to pick who represents a party then you should actually care about the party and its platform. If you're independent that's fine - Krusty Apr 13, 06:45

        I guess it depends on how one views the purpose of parties and what rights they should have - ty97 Apr 13, 06:46 5

        I've been wondering this question actually. - ty97 Apr 13, 06:51 1
        
        What does LV mean? -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 06:55
        
        LV? I wouldn't be surprised by that at all and I'm fine with it because if they truly cared about the Dem primary in NY - Krusty Apr 13, 06:50 1

    - New registrants in NY had up until March 25 to register. - ty97 Apr 13, 06:33
- Someone should teach the billion-dollar princess what a close to a year means. - Will Hunting Apr 13, 06:27 6
  - To your IM: I'm guessing they just didn't know the rules (kinda like how Trump's campaign didn't know how to work Colorado) - ty97 Apr 13, 06:29 5
    - There were things out there telling us about the deadline because it's what got my attention to get my gf to join a party. - Krusty Apr 13, 06:32 4
      - You're more observant, or got lucky! I don't recall seeing anything about it. -- (edited) - ty97 Apr 13, 06:34 3
        
        Yup. I've been a Dem since I registered at 18. And your IM is the reason I gave to my gf to join the party. She's a liberal but didn't feel any need - Krusty Apr 13, 06:39 2
        
        The party certainly isn't perfect and I resisted identifying as any party for years - ty97 Apr 13, 06:49

- YDC, but my Uncle who I grew up next door to worked for the phone company (I think a Verizon predecessor) when I was a kid. - ty97 Apr 13, 06:14
- Landline. Bah. Who has a landline? :) -- nm - oblique Apr 13, 06:12 8
  - I do. My house is a cell dead zone, and my wife's cell is business use only - Reagen Apr 13, 06:30
  - We still have viatalk. It's what we give out for our "you need a phone number?" number. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 13, 06:29 1
    - yeah our land line hardly ever rings and when it does we argue about who is forced to answer it - Epiphany Apr 13, 06:35
  - I'll admit that I do, but only because my cell is a non-local number. -- nm - Robert Barontheon Apr 13, 06:14 4
    - don't see how that even matters anymore -- nm - decline Apr 13, 06:20
    - I can't think of anyone who'd be calling me where that would matter. -- nm* - znufrii Apr 13, 06:19
    - wouldn't it be easier to get a new cell number and cancel the landline? -- nm - Andie Apr 13, 06:15 1
      - Oh I've got a whole phone/cable/internet overhaul coming. I just haven't gotten up the energy to deal with it. Yay, procrastination! -- nm - Robert Barontheon Apr 13, 06:24
- Damn Unions! Always demanding so much - decline Apr 13, 06:11 1

okay, why can't i find this on the internet?? Is there a Raptors playoff schedule posted somewhere? -- nm - Andie Apr 13, 05:47 4
- They aren't offically set until the matchups are official and they know who they want on tv. Other details inside. -- (edited) - volnelk Apr 13, 05:54
- (finally found something that said schedule for the opening games will be solidified tonight.) -- nm - Andie Apr 13, 05:52 2
  - Right. They're playing Indiana and I think the games start this weekend so it'll be either Sat. or Sun. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 05:53 1

  - I've been trying to spot it on my commute but no luck yet. Seals have been spotted in the area though as the fish market is nearby. -- nm - LMS Apr 13, 06:46
