- 5ish -- nm - nubby May 7, 07:31
- I have about 15 spring/summer season casual long sleeve button downs of varying patterns, colors because I love wearing them. Tucked, untucked. With - HdnAgnda May 7, 07:24
- 3. nm -- nm - groiny May 7, 07:22

  - Donate em all, start fresh. (nm) - Will Hunting May 7, 07:22 1
    - I don't know why I have so many. Only about 7 go on the road with me any given time. - Justice 97 May 7, 07:24
  - Ditch the ones that are too big and hold onto the smaller ones that will fit as you loose more weight. -- nm - lileve May 7, 07:21 1
    - My wardrobe right now mostly consists of two sizes: 'too big' and 'way too big' -- nm - Justice 97 May 7, 07:23
- 4-5 but I don't wear them anymore. -- nm - lileve May 7, 07:20
- 5-6 -- nm - amoxy May 7, 07:20
- Eight - two weeks' worth, with casual day -- nm - Roger More May 7, 07:18
- About 12 - Will Hunting May 7, 07:18
- 5, maybe -- nm - Beryllium May 7, 07:18
- 3, i think. One white, two black. (i don't really do button-up tops.) -- nm - Andie May 7, 07:17 1
  - But they're so much fun to UN-button!!! -- nm - Jim May 7, 07:18

ST, Help me be minimalist. I'm paring down for the move. How many long-sleeve dress shirts is the maximum number I can move? - Justice 97 May 7, 07:10 10
- 14 -- nm - lileve May 7, 07:16
- Tough call. If you tend to wear shirts according to the seasons (darker colors, lighter colors) I would have maybe 10 each for Fall/Winter and then - HdnAgnda May 7, 07:14 5
  - yep, that should be plenty. (or, ty, alternately, really LOOK at each shirt, try it on, if you don't *love* it, it doesn't move with you.) -- nm - Andie May 7, 07:15 1
    - I'm kinda doing this, because I'm going to have to (spoilers) - Justice 97 May 7, 07:22
  - I'm not nearly that good at being gay. -- nm - Justice 97 May 7, 07:15 2
    - That's okay, it's not a requirem...hey!! -- nm - HdnAgnda May 7, 07:20 1
      - hehe. It's a good point really, though....are there seasonal dress rules? I've lived in the south too long, I'll have to poll next board -- nm - Justice 97 May 7, 07:25
- Keep what you have and buy more. -- nm - Redmond May 7, 07:13

        I want to say the 16th, but it says on Ticketmaster -- nm - MDH May 7, 07:22
- where is it? -- nm - znufrii May 7, 07:07 3
  - (what venue, rather) -- nm - znufrii May 7, 07:08 2
    - Hammerstein Ballroom, how is that venue? -- nm - MDH May 7, 07:09 1
      - that's a great space. I've worked a party there before. Lots of fun. -- nm - znufrii May 7, 07:10
I thought the first symptom of swine flu onset was actually the runs? -- nm - Beryllium May 7, 07:06
Supernatural fans (looks at pippy): Is tonight a new episode?..... - Walt_Disney May 7, 07:06 2
- from what I understand it is new - and it is the 1st part of a 2 part season finale. - Epiphany May 7, 07:13
- Yes, it's new. TV Guide info inside. - Ender May 7, 07:11
ugh. I'm sure the timing is coincidental, but talk about making politics your life.... -- (link) - znufrii May 7, 07:04
Morning rant: On a morning that I happen to be at home, Maury is not doing any prenancy tests...its lame "caught on video" day!!! -- nm - Walt_Disney May 7, 07:03
My take: Derek Fisher's foul is at least the auto-suspension for Game 3. Maybe more. Kobe? He's not getting suspended. - TFox May 7, 06:52 5
- League rules say an elbow above the shoulder is a suspension. - Will Hunting May 7, 07:02 3
  - Sorry, it's an ejection. That he got away with it means something pretty much has to follow for the next game. -- nm - Will Hunting May 7, 07:05 2
    - You must have missed the fine print where it says that these rules do not necessarily apply to the superstars. -- nm - Jim May 7, 07:16 1
      - They naield Dwight Howard earlier this postseason so I remain hopeful. - Will Hunting May 7, 07:21
- (Not auto-suspension, but auto-review. He's not playing Game 3.) -- nm - TFox May 7, 06:55
I feel like doodie. -- nm - Redmond May 7, 06:50 36
- me too - lets cuddle in our sick beds together. - Epiphany May 7, 06:56 35
  - I feel worse today than all week. I am guessing I might have a bacterial infection. - Redmond May 7, 06:59 34
    - Poor Redmond - you really are sick! While I am not as sick as you - Epiphany May 7, 07:04 5
      - Can I join you guys? I am going to stay home again today -- nm - amoxy May 7, 07:19 4
        
        Ooh, we have the ST Sick Club!!! -- nm - Redmond (ST Sick Club Member) May 7, 07:22
        
        *cuddles* is your headache not better? -- nm - Epiphany May 7, 07:20 2
        
        Which head? -- nm - Redmond (ST Sick Club Member) May 7, 07:22 1
        
        One is now better, however it caused the other one .... -- nm - Redmond (ST Sick Club Member) May 7, 07:22
    - a sexual what? - zork May 7, 07:02
    - Still no ST Patient Zero? -- nm - Justice 97 May 7, 07:00 26
      - I don't feel sick, but I've already infected Africa with swine flu. -- nm - hutsilu in Rwanda May 7, 07:02 25
        
        You do more before 10am than most people do all day. :) -- nm - Redmond May 7, 07:07
        
        'loosiflu' just rolls off the tongue (and out of the nose, the eyes...) -- nm - HdnAgnda May 7, 07:04 1
        
        *laughing* -- nm - mara May 7, 07:05
        
        i don't think anyone thinks you have swine flu for a second, i think what everyone is commenting on is that if anyone else said they lied about flu - Andie May 7, 07:03 21
        
        andie is correct -- nm - zork May 7, 07:04 17
        
        Then everyone is mistaken about what I would say. I think those screening methods are useless and potentially dangerous. - hutsilu in Rwanda May 7, 07:05 16
        
        true but I don't think you'd want people with symptoms but not properly tested travelling to areas with poor disease control abilities -- nm - zork May 7, 07:08 15
        
        You know what I don't have? Coughing. I didn't spread anything to anyone. -- nm - hutsilu in Rwanda May 7, 07:09 14
        
        I honestly don't know the answer to this but can breathing spread flu (without coughing)? -- nm - zork May 7, 07:10 13
        
        OK, I'm going to use small words. I don't have the flu. Flu is a respiratory infection. I don't have a respiratory infection. - hutsilu in Rwanda May 7, 07:11 12
        
        *waits for my white knight to defend me from the awful swear words* -- nm - Shaun May 7, 07:18
        
        Um...neither "respiratory" nor "infection" are small words. nm - Jim May 7, 07:15
        
        *ooh, that should take care of everything* -- nm - groiny May 7, 07:14
        
        I didn't mean that question in an accusatory way. and I'm sure that any sore throat and elevated temp. are because of new pollens to you and other ... - zork May 7, 07:14 8
        
        who knows? I had just spent 20 hours on a plane and was in a crowded airport with no AC. other than - hutsilu in Rwanda May 7, 07:16 7
        
        you said you had 3 symptoms, which is a little more than what you are saying now. nm -- nm - groiny May 7, 07:20 1
        
        headache, sore throat, possible fever (but I did not have a thermometer handy). three. - hutsilu in Rwanda May 7, 07:22
        
        i know - zork May 7, 07:19 1
        
        well, it started in Amsterdam so it's not anything exotic. -- nm - hutsilu in Rwanda May 7, 07:21
        
        What malaria pill are you using. I remember a side effect of one is a small fever -- nm - Redmond May 7, 07:19 2
        
        Malarone. I didn't think it was giving me any side effects, but maybe so. - hutsilu in Rwanda May 7, 07:20 1
        
        good point Redmoink and would loosi please elaborate on that last line -- nm - zork May 7, 07:21
        
        Yeah I would, actually. I dont' think those are very good measures at all. -- nm - hutsilu in Rwanda May 7, 07:04 2
        
        hasn't africa managed to stay swine-flu-free thus far? -- nm - Andie May 7, 07:05 1
        
        I doubt it. They have very limited lab resources. -- nm - hutsilu in Rwanda May 7, 07:06
Ok, where are the L O S T people...I have a question from last week's episode (spoils) - Jim May 7, 06:23 4
- If I recall correctly from way back in Season 2.... - Will Hunting May 7, 06:24 3
  - ahhhh...ok. That makes a little more sense then. (spoils) - Jim May 7, 06:26 2
    - This has a pretty good detail of it. - Will Hunting May 7, 06:33 1
      - awesome..thanks -- nm - Jim May 7, 06:37
Has anyone here ever done one of those charity walks where you walk with your dog? Humane Society walks or whatnot? - kelly May 7, 06:22 18
- I've been in several with both our dogs - - 'lia May 7, 06:51
- Never have...but you have to consider that not everyone there will hve a well trained pet... - Jim May 7, 06:24 1
  - Or owner. *brings a flask* -- nm - Will Hunting May 7, 06:25
- Do you ever take The Murph to dog parks and other places where he can be social with lots of other dogs and people? -- nm - Diva May 7, 06:24 6
  - The one trip to the dog park did not go well - but that was my fault, not the dog's. Now I know how to handle situations, do things differently. - kelly May 7, 06:27 5
    - i think maybe a dog walk, with THAT many other dogs might overwhelm him if he's not fully socialized yet. -- nm - Andie May 7, 06:28 4
      - LIR: yggm. - Diva May 7, 06:30
      - possibly but he won't get better without being exposed. can always duck out after a couple of blocks -- nm - zork May 7, 06:29 2
        
        yeah, that's good as long as you have a contingency plan if he gets anxious. -- nm - Andie May 7, 06:30 1
        
        I just called the Humane Society and I feel okay with the whole thing. - kelly May 7, 06:41
- Every block, there's a bottleneck at the fire hydrant and this is one walk being at the rear of the line offers no positives. - Will Hunting May 7, 06:23 6
  - Why? You have a girlfriend equipped with plastic bags, that's enough! :) -- nm - kelly May 7, 06:28
  - do people use scoopers? everyone here just uses a bag. - Andie May 7, 06:27 3
    - My dog goes in the woods. -- nm - lileve May 7, 07:04
    - I have a scooper for the yard, but use bags when out and about -- nm - decline May 7, 06:35
    - but in our backyard I have a kid-size yellow plastic snow shovel -- nm - zork May 7, 06:30
  - I don't think you want to carry that around the whole time. just put a few bags in your pocket. -- nm - zork May 7, 06:26
- we've been to a doggie Easter Egg hunt -- nm - zork May 7, 06:23
From yesterday: Did I tell you guys I came *thisclose* to being quarantined for swine flu in Nairobi? - hutsilu in Rwanda May 7, 06:20 36
- I'm curious about what you think was causing the fever. -- nm - mara May 7, 07:06 1
  - could be as simple as motion sickness. makes me sweat. -- nm - hutsilu in Rwanda May 7, 07:26
- You are a terrorist. -- nm - Don Homer May 7, 06:47
- So it is ok that you endangered 200+ people on a plane? - groiny May 7, 06:44 25
  - Their flawed screening process doesn't mean I endangered anybody. -- nm - hutsilu in Rwanda May 7, 06:52 24
    - I just wonder how you would've reacted to someone sitting next to you on the plane with 3 swine flu symptoms. - Jim May 7, 06:53 20
      - the top symptom is coughing. I'm not coughing. I don't have swine flu. THey were going to put me in a room with sick people for no good reason. -- nm - hutsilu in Rwanda May 7, 06:54 19
        
        I am with you on this one - I would have FREAKED out if someone put me in a room - Epiphany May 7, 06:57 8

        I'm not in the mood for the parade. I doubt any of you would have admitted to a sore throat in those circumstances. done now. -- nm - hutsilu in Rwanda May 7, 06:57
        
        Silly Shaun, she used to be a doctor, before she was an artist. nm -- nm - groiny May 7, 06:56 7

        Do you guys think you brought enough guys? nm - ralph wiggum May 7, 07:03 5
        
        *coughs on wiggum* nm -- nm - groiny May 7, 07:06 4
        
        Heh. I'm awake because the little dude keeps coughing and waking me up. nm - ralph wiggum May 7, 07:10 3
        
        just lie and tell them he'e fine. nm -- nm - groiny May 7, 07:12 2
        
        I might just leave him home with the remote in his hand and a box of crackers in the other. nm - ralph wiggum May 7, 07:14 1
        
        turn on Maury. -- nm - Epiphany May 7, 07:16
    - whatever you want to tell yourself to convince yourself that you were not wrong. nm -- nm - groiny May 7, 06:53 2
      - I realize in your eyes everything I do is malicious, but I don't have swine flu. -- nm - hutsilu in Rwanda May 7, 06:56 1
        
        no, everything you do in hypocrtical. nm -- nm - groiny May 7, 06:57

- No one would. forget that. -- nm - Epiphany May 7, 06:25 5
  - no one would forget that Loosi was the one who caused the pandemic to jump to Africa -- nm - zork May 7, 06:28 4
    - I'm sure I'm not the only liar who went through the airport that day. -- nm - hutsilu in Rwanda May 7, 06:30 3
      - I'm shocked that you, of all people, would be so cavalier about this. -- nm - zork May 7, 06:31 2
        
        I don't have swine flu. I don't have any flu. I have a little sore throat. -- nm - hutsilu in Rwanda May 7, 06:51
