Do they make one-sided wallets? Like a slab with pockets that doesn't fold? -- nm - Mop Apr 13, 20:25 10
- checkbook covers? I use a ID card holder, has an outside window, does fold, but so thin... look for a leather cigarette case -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 13, 20:53 1
  - passport case/wallet -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 13, 20:53
- Ah! It looks like I'm searching for a "card case", only it's tough to find a "tall" one. -- nm - Mop Apr 13, 20:34
- Big enough for unfolded dollars? -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 20:29 4
  - Maybe, but not necessarily. As tall and narrow as a cell phone. -- nm - Mop Apr 13, 20:30 3
    - Usually they aren't that long. They may have a money clip on one side for folded bills. I have one like that. I think they make some phone cases that double as credit card holders. -- nm* - pmb Apr 13, 20:45 2
      - You guys are great! Thanks for the help. I'm struggling to find the right solution for my phone and wallet. - Mop Apr 13, 20:59 1
        
        check with a tobacconist (pipe shop) and see if they have any options -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 13, 21:15

Get ready for some outrageous fucked up shit. - Mop Apr 13, 20:00 12
- So wrong. Reassuring them together (you & your ex) - talking with all three kids and saying you both love them so much that it helps you get along - JenBro Apr 14, 04:10
- what would your child be doing while everyone else in the group? sounds like all her friends are inside and she's left out - zeitgeist Apr 13, 20:56 2
  - It seems to be during class. They pull her from class to attend. -- nm - Mop Apr 13, 21:01 1
    - Another point against. They shouldn't be interrupting her education. -- nm - nic to be determined Apr 13, 21:06
- While what they did can't be defended. I doubt any other kids in the group have the stable parent situation your do -- nm - Karl_S Apr 13, 20:39 2
  - True enough. I've considered one way of easing the concerns of my children is to say the other parents are the "weirdos". - Mop Apr 13, 20:44 1

  - Is that the program where they select kids to travel to New Earth after we've destroyed this one? -- nm - Mop Apr 13, 20:25
  - And obviously nothing like what you're facing :( -- nm - Meg Apr 13, 20:19

the atlanta hawks were more or less the best nba east team since january, and then totally spit the bit tonight... - x Apr 13, 19:43 7

  - man, you seem a little defensive. they were clearly one of the best nba defenses and teams over the last few months... - x Apr 13, 19:56 5

- Late in the season, tempers are high, especially for teams on the bubble. Everyone else has nothing to lose, so why not? -- nm - Mop Apr 13, 18:22 7
  - What bubble? Didn't the playoffs already start? -- nm - znufrii Apr 13, 18:28 6
    - what you saw is the first playoff game - they start today. -- nm - b. Apr 13, 18:30 1

    - Did they? Shows how much I care. -- nm - Mop Apr 13, 18:29 3
      - But I thought the Habs 9-0 start meant at minimum a conference championship! -- nm - Reagen Apr 13, 18:38 1
