The thing I'm most looking forward to doing this weekend is going to the Anvil gig with Tilda Swinton. -- nm - LMS May 15, 08:48 5
- "with with" or just "with?" -- nm - JaxSean May 15, 08:58 2

Health care companies already backpedaling on cost cutting committments. -- (link) - znufrii May 15, 08:37 9
- Aside: My wife's 20-hour hospital visit for the birth of our girl 3 weeks ago cost more than her c-section 3 years ago. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 15, 08:52
- We need single-payer coverage as soon as possible. -- nm - Don Homer May 15, 08:38 7
  - Counterpoint: healthcare costs are not necessarily cured by removing what few actual market pressures still exist in the system. - TFox May 15, 08:43 5
    - except that's not really the case in any single-payer health care system. they're inefficient in entirely different ways. -- nm - mafic May 15, 08:52
    - Medicare would disagree. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 15, 08:51 3
      - Health insurance rates for people on private insurance are higher because Medicare underpays. True fact. - TFox May 15, 08:53 2
        
        it's pretty debatable whether medicare underpays, or the care providers just want more money from them. - mafic May 15, 08:56 1
        
        I'd say it's a near certainty that Medicare underpays, based on the level of care people expect. We could debate the degree of it for sure. -- nm - TFox May 15, 08:58
  - it would be nice. -- nm - znufrii May 15, 08:41

Fans of my site are asking for Twitter updates. *headdesk* I guess I'm going to give it to them. -- nm - Qale May 15, 08:26 8
- Twitter is a great way to alert readers of updates to your site. I never did RSS feeds, but I love Twitter for this purpose. - Dano May 15, 08:29 3
  - Agreed, it's a wonderful extension of my WoW blog but only twitting that you've updated is weak. -- nm - Tim May 15, 08:52
  - yeah, I need to find a service that auto updates for me so I can enter them all in at once but have them spread out over time. - Callisto May 15, 08:32
  - The sites automatically do RSS feeds via blogger and I have a fan page on Facebook but it's not really doing that hot. - Qale May 15, 08:31
- Don't do it. - ceregon May 15, 08:26 3
  - I'd do just about anything for these anime penes loving people. (Sadly most of them are girls.) -- nm - Qale May 15, 08:27 2
    - They are??? - con_carne May 15, 08:29 1

Tfox, how old is your little guy? - Subversive May 15, 08:23 5
- Turned 2 in February. Granted, we're only through one night, and he hasn't figured out he can get out of it himself yet. - TFox May 15, 08:24 4
  - Oh, okay, so really close in age to ours. She turned two in March. - Subversive May 15, 08:26 3
    - I wasn't sure he was ready (I hate the idea of doing these changes before he can talk better, because I want to be able to explain it.) - TFox May 15, 08:27 1

    - And free agent Randy Wolf is signed for 1 /30th of what CC is making - groiny May 15, 08:36 21
      - Who saw that happening and how long before he starts going back to being the old Randy Wolf? - Krusty May 15, 08:40 20
        
        I have always liked him, but arm problems have derailed his seasons most of the time. nm -- nm - groiny May 15, 08:42 3
        
        I have nothing against him but he's not likely to keep up these numbers. He did have a nice second half last year, maybe he's got a bit more in that - Krusty May 15, 08:45 2
        
        plus he was in pitchers hellholes in Houson and Philly..... - groiny May 15, 08:45 1
        
        Good point. He'd have an ERA of 30 in the new Yankee Stadium. -- nm - Krusty May 15, 08:51
        
        [deleted] 15
        
        Except that they OVERPAY to get these guys, in most cases - groiny May 15, 08:43 14
        
        Hell the Jays overpaid for Burnett when they signed him. -- nm - Shaun May 15, 08:48 2
        
        yeah, to keep the Yanks from getting him. nm -- nm - groiny May 15, 08:49 1

        When you buy a car, you do not offer the dealer an extra 10% just to make sure you get it. nm -- nm - groiny May 15, 08:47 9
        
        [deleted] 8
        
        yet, if you wanted to buy a car, and the dealer says it is 10 grand - groiny May 15, 08:51 7
        
        [deleted] 6
        
        You wonder why people give the yanks grief about their practices - groiny May 15, 08:54 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        And then every 2nd rate pitcher starts to think he's worth what the Yanks paid. - Will Hunting May 15, 08:57
        
        it's perfectly logical to be ngry at someone for having more money than you. what do you think class warfare is all about? ;) -- nm - znufrii May 15, 08:53 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        I don't care how much money you have, as long as you do not block me - groiny May 15, 08:56

      - only tiresome to you. remains infinitely entertaining for us. -- nm - TFox May 15, 08:36 4

        I don't at all think the other *teams* care. Heck, *I* don't even care. I just love smacktalk. - TFox May 15, 08:41 1

  - Burnett has an ugly ERA, Sabathia's ERA is fine. Wang and the bullpen are what brings the overall ERA down so much. - Krusty May 15, 08:31 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - He did a great job last night. That's back to back great starts and long starts too. The less the pen gets used the better. -- nm - Krusty May 15, 08:33
LYC: I'm 22, 6'1'' and have had a twin bed my whole life (except 1 year in college) and I like the twin -- nm - MDH May 15, 08:19 17

- We co-sleep with our baby, so when we upgraded to a king size about 3 months ago it was friggin *heaven* -- nm - Subversive May 15, 08:24
- I went from the crib to a full-size mattress. Pretty young, too -- my dad made a sort of rail to keep me from falling out. -- nm - mara May 15, 08:22
- I have a full size bed and wouldn't want bigger. -- nm - locust street loves mandy lane May 15, 08:22
- I had a twin bed until I was 36. -- nm - Dano May 15, 08:21
- ST Poll: Where did MDH sleep during that one year in college? - con_carne May 15, 08:21
