  - [deleted]
  - I don't see any equivalence between those two scenarios, really. -- nm - znufrii Apr 14, 08:01 3
    - It's the premise some Christian bloggers are whining over. -- nm - Inigo Apr 14, 08:07 1
      - Yeah, I've seen the argument a few times, but it always feels like a knee-jerk response from someone who doesn't want to think through the issue. -- nm - Roger More Apr 14, 08:10
    - [deleted]
  - Legally, it would be OK, and morally, it's more of a grey area but still generally OK. - Roger More Apr 14, 08:01
  - I saw a meme on FB similar to this -- nm - Beaker Apr 14, 07:59

      - pretty sure all the people I talk to are real too :) -- nm - oblique Apr 14, 07:17 1
        
        it is an elaborate hoax -- nm - groiny Apr 14, 07:20
      - kilbo is a REAL PERSON! -- nm - Strongbad Apr 14, 07:17 4

        groiny knows I'm real. He's touched me before -- nm - oblique Apr 14, 07:20 2
        
        Show us on this doll where he touched you. -- nm - Bacon Apr 14, 07:24 1
        
        it might be easier to show you where I didn't -- nm - groiny Apr 14, 07:25
spamlet, have you seen anything like this US based? -- (link) - oblique Apr 14, 07:09 6
- No, but I think Simple might be the winner. No age restriction and can have other authorized users. No minimum balance either. - spamlet Apr 14, 07:54 5
  - Looks good for a straight up independent card. I think Capital One is the only other one I've seen that's close -- (link) - oblique Apr 14, 08:01 1
    - Thanks -- nm - spamlet Apr 14, 08:14
  - Plus their free ATMs are in every 7/11 and Walgreens so there's always one around. - spamlet Apr 14, 07:55 2

      - Ours has Dr Pepper slurpees. -- nm - iSpam Apr 14, 08:11
There's a strawberry festival in June, in the next county over. I think I may enter their baking contest. - kelly Apr 14, 07:03 42
- Hell yeah, rock on! -- nm - CQ Apr 14, 08:06
- it never hurts. My wife won a hamburger recipe contest and got 50 coupons for free stuff (frozen burgers, chicken fingers, etc) - Beaker Apr 14, 07:46
- BTW, if you have any leftover strawberries, I strongly recommend making strawberry crumble - Roger More Apr 14, 07:44
- go get 'em, kid! -- nm - prayformojo Apr 14, 07:38
- a little variation/difference would be more memorable. have fun! -- nm - Divaerys Targaryen-Breaker of Chains Apr 14, 07:29
- I think this will require a lot of tastings to get your exact dish correct. - Will Hunting Apr 14, 07:22 9
  - Of course. - kelly Apr 14, 07:26 1
    - sounds like a blast -- nm - Epiphany Apr 14, 07:31
  - I don't think the man that thought spaghetti sauce was chili is going to be a good judge for her. I will step up however. -- nm - Bacon Apr 14, 07:25 4
    - I say this with peace and love but this is the man who put a grilled cheese in the MICROWAVE - Epiphany Apr 14, 07:30 2
      - he would eat the ass off a cow while it is walking. -- nm - groiny Apr 14, 07:30
      - will is the man, not bacon -- nm - Epiphany Apr 14, 07:30
    - heh -- nm - groiny Apr 14, 07:27
  - fork and spoon??? - groiny Apr 14, 07:24 1
    - She frowns at me when I just tilt the plate and open the gullet. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 14, 07:25
- Strawberry pot brownies. -- nm - Robert Barontheon Apr 14, 07:08 1
  - Pfffft. - kelly Apr 14, 07:16
- I would think you want to do something a bit different, so that it sticks in their minds. - groiny Apr 14, 07:08
- i would go a little different. good luck! -- nm - Andie Apr 14, 07:07 20
  - This is what I want to make - strawberry balsamic cupcakes. -- (link) - kelly Apr 14, 07:10 18
    - Playing devil's advocate, those are plain cupcakes with a strawberry topping. - Roger More Apr 14, 07:41 7
      - Heh, I just said the same thing to Will on the phone. - kelly Apr 14, 07:44 2
        
        Strawberry balsamic vinegar. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 14, 07:54
        
        yeah, I would do that too -- nm - decline Apr 14, 07:45
      - maybe a cinnamon cupcake under? -- nm - groiny Apr 14, 07:44 3
        
        That would be nice with strawberries, but I don't see it matching with balsamic. (not that I've tried them together) -- nm - Roger More Apr 14, 07:47 2
        
        time to test it with our resident guinea pig..... -- nm - groiny Apr 14, 07:48 1
        
        If that's the case, let's be more adventurous. Make the cupcakes with Old El Paso taco sauce powder. -- nm - Roger More Apr 14, 08:02
    - sounds awesome (and holy sugar, batman!) -- nm - decline Apr 14, 07:26
    - *drools* - good luck! -- nm - Epiphany Apr 14, 07:22
    - Love -- nm - Bacon Apr 14, 07:16
    - I think that would be a great choice. -- nm - mara Apr 14, 07:16 4
      - The other one I was considering was strawberry lemonade layer cake. -- (link) - kelly Apr 14, 07:18 3
        
        You're just going to have to make them both and have Will decide. :-) -- nm - mara Apr 14, 07:21 1
        
        Both -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 14, 07:22
        
        Oh, man, that sounds yummy too. (Minor peeve with this site: it's a layer cake! Have a photo of a slice too!) -- nm* - mara Apr 14, 07:20
    - I would eat that -- nm - groiny Apr 14, 07:11
    - sounds yummy (and makes sense really - strawberries in salad with balsamic are great.) -- nm - Andie Apr 14, 07:11
  - strawberry rhubarb galette -- nm* - decline Apr 14, 07:09
- I think it depends on the festival and how crazy the judges are -- nm* - decline Apr 14, 07:05

  - Eh? What's that ya say, sonny? -- nm - Jim Apr 14, 07:13
- Jebus! Happy birthday to Jamie! - Krusty Apr 14, 07:04
- Happ Birthday Jamie! (gawd I feel old) -- nm - decline Apr 14, 07:02 10
  - Happy Birthday! -- nm - Epiphany Apr 14, 07:22

      - Works for me. -- nm - hyde si Apr 14, 07:27
      - we'll all slowly melt away and it'll just be you and loosi arguing without end - ML Apr 14, 07:10 2
        
        I have not argued with loosi in years! -- nm - groiny Apr 14, 07:11 1
        
        Fine, you and ML. ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 14, 07:33
      - i honestly don't see why not at this point. -- nm - Andie Apr 14, 07:05 2

- just say she's 18 -- nm - decline Apr 14, 07:00 1
  - Giggity. -- nm - Glenn Quagmire Apr 14, 07:02
- Keep me posted. Oldest just turned 16 and we were recently discussing this type of thing -- nm - oblique Apr 14, 06:57
- Crap. Sorry. I really like their instant transfers. Hopefully one of the others will work for you, -- nm - Krusty Apr 14, 06:56 2
  - No, thank you for pointing them out. I always like to have options. Hopefully it works better for you guys :) - spamlet Apr 14, 06:57 1
    - We're going to try out Simple and Chime. It's mostly for online purchases to protect our bank account. -- (edited) - Krusty Apr 14, 06:58
can I tell you guys something weird? -- nm - sleep commander amanda jones Apr 14, 06:49 10
- okay, it rolled. last night, a pedestrian was hit by a truck in my neighborhood. it was serious enough that they did the "spraypaint the area" and a - sleep commander amanda jones Apr 14, 06:52 9
  - It's sort of amazing in this information age when something just isn't registered. - Mel Profit Apr 14, 07:48
  - international spy -- nm - Epiphany Apr 14, 07:16
  - is your street cursed? Did you research that before you bought the house? -- nm - decline Apr 14, 07:05 1
    - rookie mistake if not. -- nm - Andie Apr 14, 07:08
  - was it a suicide attempt? they often don't give those any press. -- nm - Andie Apr 14, 07:03 2
    - no I emailed the neighborhood association president* and she told me that it was just another accident. - sleep commander amanda jones Apr 14, 07:16 1
      - weird. -- nm - Andie Apr 14, 07:20
  - take pictures before the gov't coverup is complete!! -- nm - decline Apr 14, 06:53
  - It's a coverup. -- nm - volnelk Apr 14, 06:53
The pick is reportedly Wentz. -- nm - ML Apr 14, 06:49 17
- Man, that Wentz-Austin connection is going to be YUGE -- nm - Strongbad Apr 14, 07:25 11
  - This trade makes it more likely that the Vikings and Treadwell get hitched. I LURVE IT -- nm - ML Apr 14, 07:52
  - Tavon's still in the league? - Will Hunting Apr 14, 07:26 6
    - He leveled up last year. -- nm - David's iPad Apr 14, 07:27 5
      - 52 catches for 473 yards, 5 TD's... that's leveling up? - Will Hunting Apr 14, 07:34 4
        
        Yes. You missed half his stats. -- nm - David's iPad Apr 14, 07:36 3
        
        Yeah, he became a legitimate weapon last year. 900+ yards and 10 TDs. Most teams would take that. -- nm - Jim Apr 14, 07:57
        
        Oh, that's right, they started using him as a reverse Sproles - Will Hunting Apr 14, 07:42 1
        
        Right. It's not that he got any better or worse, it's that they finally fed him the ball more and used him differently. -- nm - ML Apr 14, 07:51
  - Wentz is going to be running for his life behind that line - ML Apr 14, 07:26 2
    - they need to make a splash - this is splashy -- nm - decline Apr 14, 07:38 1
      - Well they need a QB. Could have had Paxton Lynch where they were. -- nm - ML Apr 14, 07:44
- this is what I expect. Now the big question is do the Browns take Goff at 2? -- nm - decline Apr 14, 06:57 2
  - if they stay there, I think he has to be the pick--meaning Tunsil drops to the Rams - ML Apr 14, 07:24
  - They have to. He's thought of as legit and he fits a need. - Will Hunting Apr 14, 07:24
- Pete? -- nm - spamlet Apr 14, 06:50 1
  - Norm! -- nm - Beryllium Apr 14, 07:33
