"If the Mets trade for Jeff Francoeur, I'm out. I'll find someone else to write this column." - SNY.tv Editorial Producer Jun 16, 12:45
is this something i just don't get because i'm not a parent? i don't get why, 95% of the time, when i am asked to babysit i have to do it at *their* - kare Jun 16, 12:43 9
- i mostly agree with you, although it depends on the parents, and the age of the kids to an extent. - TFox Jun 16, 12:47
- Familiarity of surroundings for the kid, having everything avilable, place already set up - JD Jun 16, 12:47
- because all the kid's stuff is there, and everything is child proofed. - colin Jun 16, 12:45 1
  - Same with my bongs, bondage gear and dildoes - con_carne Jun 16, 12:47
- They know how safe/childproofed their house is -- nm - con_carne Jun 16, 12:44 4
  - *ding* - musubi Jun 16, 12:46
  - okay, i can buy this for a toddler. but other ages? come on! -- nm - kare Jun 16, 12:46 1
    - Like what age. Up until the teens, I think I'd still prefer a sitter to come to our house. - musubi Jun 16, 12:48
  - yup. -- nm - znufrii Jun 16, 12:45
Hmmm, just saw a thread on redflagdeals that some dude found Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Blu-ray at HMV for $14.99. -- nm - Shaun Jun 16, 12:32 2
- I did not like this movie - con_carne Jun 16, 12:34 1
  - Too bad it didn't come with the FF13 demo that the Japanese super edition came with. -- nm - Shaun Jun 16, 12:37
CT, I read up on the credit card chips on the BMO website. I think the main security feature is now you need a PIN to use it. - Subversive Jun 16, 12:30
Oh man. While I'm not that thrilled to be driving through rush hour to his place, he texts simply, "Japanese food." - Qale Jun 16, 12:24 5
- *gets in his car and starts driving south* -- nm - znufrii Jun 16, 12:27
- or by sushi - kind of hard to distingush between the two - Epiphany Jun 16, 12:25
- make sure you get the... spicy roll. -- nm - colin Jun 16, 12:25 2
  - Don't you mean the Happy Fun Spicy Roll? -- nm - Qale Jun 16, 12:29 1
    - of course.. i was just saving typing time... -- nm - colin Jun 16, 12:34
Oh, fun. Judge refuses to reverse NY Legislature deadlock. -- (link) - znufrii Jun 16, 12:22
anyone know anything about SCADA? I need a dumbed down explanation (I have the Wiki entry). TIA -- nm - Beaker Jun 16, 12:20 3
- If you just need a short explanation, I found this: - mara Jun 16, 12:34 2
  - More info here -- (link) - mara Jun 16, 12:38 1
    - awesome, thanks -- nm - Beaker Jun 16, 12:41
"The police were called to a Y.M.C.A. in 2007 when she absconded with the sprinkles and syrups on a table where members were being served ice cream." -- (link) - znufrii Jun 16, 12:15 20
- Heh. To me, the line "who works in marketing" says it all. - Dr.Vermin Jun 16, 12:29 2
  - Crap. It's the husband who works in marketing. Nevermind. - Dr.Vermin Jun 16, 12:41 1
    - A publicist's job is to bust people's balls with inconsequential crap -- nm - con_carne Jun 16, 12:43
- How appropriately named. -- nm - Reagen Jun 16, 12:26 2
  - [deleted]
  - And that photo. At first I thought I was looking at an Onion piece. -- nm - con_carne Jun 16, 12:32
- she reminds me of peta. you've got a valid point and it's great that you care, but your tactics turn off your message to me because you're acting like - dogbert183 Jun 16, 12:24 9
  - I'm not even sure she has a valid point. Thinking that one cupcake is dangerous for a kid to eat shows a basic lack of understanding of how food works -- nm - TFox Jun 16, 12:25 7
    - And the definition of "special occasion" -- nm - con_carne Jun 16, 12:27 6
      - and, "...there are probably better ways to celebrate a child�s birth than sending a passel of kids into sugar shock in the middle of math class."? - znufrii Jun 16, 12:34 5
        
        I actually can't tell if the writer of the piece is just trying to be balanced, or if she is also half crazy. -- nm - TFox Jun 16, 12:36 4
        
        IMO, the choice of photo says a lot -- nm - con_carne Jun 16, 12:41
        
        Some of the comments, though, are priceless. -- (link) - znufrii Jun 16, 12:39 1
        
        Yeah, not eating all day because she can't work out first really does a number on her. - Spawn Jun 16, 12:45
        
        Yeah, that took a lot away from the article for me. -- nm - Spawn Jun 16, 12:38
  - She is Mrs. Broflovski -- nm - znufrii Jun 16, 12:25
- Something tells me she is not being satisfied in the bedroom. - con_carne Jun 16, 12:23
- nut. job. -- nm - TFox Jun 16, 12:23
- She gets that syrup in her, and she gets all antsy in her pantsy. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 16, 12:16 1
  - It's a good thing you didn't order hashbrowns. If... they... had been drinking catsup..." -- nm - Qale Jun 16, 12:19
It's been decided I'm driving to job training, mom mom does not want me at a bus stop in the Castro for an hour. God forbid I might meet someone. -- nm - Stacy Jun 16, 12:13 19
- why is your mom making your decisions for you? aren't you in your 30's?? -- nm - kare Jun 16, 12:44
- Is she twice the mom of other moms? -- nm - Spawn Jun 16, 12:23
- 2 questions: (1) why would you be at a bus stop for an hour? and (2) is this where you live? so, it's like being outside your house ? -- nm - Andie Jun 16, 12:17 15
  - The bus only runs once an hour. Yeah I live in the Castro, it's a safe predominately gay neighborhood. The hill is too steep for me to walk it. - Stacy Jun 16, 12:25 14
    - Let me get this straight. The bus only runs once per hour. This means that you have to wait at the bus stop for an hour. Do I have that right? -- nm - mara Jun 16, 12:35 4
      - It could be an hour if I just miss it, worse case scenario. -- nm - Stacy Jun 16, 12:38 2
        
        Is the schedule available on-line to find out what time the bus comes? - ty97 Jun 16, 12:40
        
        That is when you go ahead and drive there. - Spawn Jun 16, 12:40
      - woah, slow down, mara. one fact at a time. -- nm - TFox Jun 16, 12:37
    - Uh, leave the house later. -- nm - Spawn Jun 16, 12:27 8
      - seriously. no way am i waiting for an hour at a bus stop if I can help it. - znufrii Jun 16, 12:31 7
        
        it runs every 15 minutes in the morning and after 5, but at 9 pm (when I get out of training) it runs much less, its only a 3-5 min. drive uphill. -- nm - Stacy Jun 16, 12:36 6
        
        Uh, when you get off the bus you don't have to wait there. -- nm - Spawn Jun 16, 12:39 5
        
        no I'm home. Down to training would not be such a bad thing, but trying to catch the bus after peak hours would suck. -- nm - Stacy Jun 16, 12:43 4
        
        Uh, you wouldn;t be waiting *in* Castro to come home. right? -- nm - Spawn Jun 16, 12:46 3
        
        well, if the training site is only a 5 minute drive away, it might also be in the Castro. -- nm - znufrii Jun 16, 12:47 2
        
        Then drive the car. -- nm - Spawn Jun 16, 12:48 1
        
        or you know, walk. -- nm - Andie Jun 16, 12:51
- hi, want some candy? -- nm - stranger in a car Jun 16, 12:16

Climate change already affecting the U.S., and will only get worse, according to new report by federal scientists. -- (link) - Don Homer Jun 16, 12:05 4
- We are having a pretty fantastic summer up here so far. - Dr.Vermin Jun 16, 12:12 2
  - Which even more interesting considering summer hasn't even started yet. -- nm - mara Jun 16, 12:16 1
    - Considering we get snow (at least) two months before "the first day of winter", we'll take it. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 16, 12:19

I once had an alleged Reiki master lay hands on me... - Mel - Wolf Pack of One Jun 16, 12:03 12
- Too lazy to google, sum up Reiki for me. (nm) - musubi Jun 16, 12:04 6
  - It's a cross between a massage, and the favorite game of every 6-year-old to torment a younger sibling, "I'm not touching you" -- nm - znufrii Jun 16, 12:07
  - "I'm not touching you! I'm not touching you! I'm not touching you! Don't you feel better?" -- nm - Reagen Jun 16, 12:06 4
    - is it like "healing touch" (in which, ironically, they never touch you?) -- nm - loosilu Jun 16, 12:10 2
      - it seems similar in concept, just without the eastern healing theories influencing reiki. -- nm - znufrii Jun 16, 12:12 1
        
        a former coworker studied it. she did it on another former coworker and identified health issues the former coworker had never advertised. kinda cool. -- nm - kare Jun 16, 12:45
    - this is almost exactly what I was gonna post -- nm - dogbert183 Jun 16, 12:08
- never tried Reiki, but I will testify that acupuncture works. -- nm - loosilu Jun 16, 12:04 1
  - but at least in acupuncture, there is actualy physical interactino with the body occurring. -- nm - znufrii Jun 16, 12:09
- well sure. Everything radiates heat. -- nm - Reagen Jun 16, 12:04 2
  - fairly intense heat... - Mel - Wolf Pack of One Jun 16, 12:10 1
    - in my pants. -- nm - colin Jun 16, 12:46
~I like your pants around your feet ~ -- nm - Spawn Jun 16, 11:58 2
- Is this a Nickelback song? If so, it's the only one of theirs I semi-like. -- nm - nubby Jun 16, 12:08 1
  - Of course it is. - Spawn Jun 16, 12:12
[deleted] 5
- It takes two to tango. -- nm - nubby Jun 16, 11:57
- wait, what? -- nm - znufrii Jun 16, 11:57 3
  - See the bottom (heh) of the board. -- nm - nubby Jun 16, 11:57 1
    - *fear* -- nm - znufrii Jun 16, 11:58

I lost ABC in the digital transition, which didn't bother me until I realized no Moon Crashing Into the Earth movie. -- nm - Dano Jun 16, 11:55 6
- ...and that's a bad thing? -- nm - znufrii Jun 16, 11:57
- Do you have an antenna? Have you tried adjusting it, and then running your scan for channels again? -- nm - con_carne Jun 16, 11:57 1
  - Yeah. I've moved the antenna around and done scans. And I used to get it in - I liked that their second channel was the Retro Television Network. -- nm - Dano Jun 16, 12:02
- What's weird is that I used to be able to get the digital transmission of ABC. -- nm - Dano Jun 16, 11:56 1
  - Same thing happened to me. I re-did my converter box channel scan, and it seems to have resolved the problem. (nm) - musubi Jun 16, 12:03
- ... still not seeing the downside here, I gotta say. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 16, 11:56
Dear Yahoo! email service. I love you, but the main complaint I have with you is when I log out, you take me to the Y! home page. - con_carne Jun 16, 11:53 5
- um. don't log out. -- nm - loosilu Jun 16, 11:54 4
  - I know, but I fear that's a habit I don't want to get into. I like logging out of stuff. -- nm - con_carne Jun 16, 11:56 3
    - here's the paradox. you want yahoo to give you a custom page, but you're logging out of the custom services. -- nm - loosilu Jun 16, 11:56 2
      - It's not that hard to have a "You've logged out! Want to log back in?" landing page. - Beryllium Jun 16, 11:57 1
        
        IIRC, Y! used to do this. Based on this page here, which I use to log in. -- (link) - con_carne Jun 16, 11:58
Nate Silver's commenting on the Iranian elections now. -- (link) - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 16, 11:52
hah, trending topic on twitter: ZiCam cold remedy can cause permanent loss of smell. -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 16, 11:52 3
- Huh. Guess I should throw that away then. -- nm - Spawn Jun 16, 11:56
- huh. true, but only the nasal gel, apparently. -- (link) - loosilu Jun 16, 11:53 1
  - Here's the FDA link. Sounds like it's already almost off the market, but they are worried about people who already have it -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 16, 11:54

for the record, i am not allowing non-regulars to take part in secret stalkers anymore. - Andie Jun 16, 11:50 8
- Ah common! I wanna be a *regular* but I run out of time with only 24hrs in a day. - grammar Jun 16, 12:11 1
  - I nominate grammar as an honorary regular... -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 16, 12:27
- I fired myself from Secret Stalker events due to my failure on the t-shirt exchange last summer. - Subversive Jun 16, 11:53 3
  - I'm doing this too. -- nm - TFox Jun 16, 11:54
  - it is *never* too late! -- nm - Andie Jun 16, 11:54 1
    - I know! I still have his address and when I finally remember to buy a cool t-shirt while somewhere unique to Calgary, it will be on it's way! - Subversive Jun 16, 11:55
- well, that's no guarantee. -- nm - loosilu Jun 16, 11:51
- *gets plenty of fiber into the diet* -- nm - Diva Jun 16, 11:51
"more?" -- nm - Spawn Jun 16, 11:46
No secret stalker tshirt exchange? -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 16, 11:46 25
- I need to get that set up. My website renewal was this past weekend and my host sucks TFox's balls. - JaxSean Jun 16, 11:49
- not until the christmas stalkers send their packages. -- nm - loosilu Jun 16, 11:46 23
  - i'm ruining ST for everyone. - TFox Jun 16, 11:47 21
    - are you the one who still owes me a shirt? -- nm - dogbert183 Jun 16, 11:49 20
      - god no. loosi is the first, last, and only STer I have stiffed on a gift. -- nm - TFox Jun 16, 11:50 19
        
        not sure how to take that. -- nm - loosilu Jun 16, 11:50 18
        
        I suggest blind rage. -- nm - Jovian si Jun 16, 11:56
        
        i didn't pick you because you are special or anything like that. - TFox Jun 16, 11:51 15
        
        If I come over to babysit or drink can I please take the package and mail it? - Diva Jun 16, 11:53 14
        
        At this point you could hand it to a random person on the street and it would get there faster. -- nm - Reagen Jun 16, 11:55
        
        heck, you could walk it down here and it would be faster. -- nm - loosilu Jun 16, 11:54
        
        sure, it's right on the stairs. -- nm - TFox Jun 16, 11:54 11
        
        Uh, how much dust is on it? -- nm - Spawn Jun 16, 11:58 6
        
        On the box? Probably a ton, although SheFox just cleaned this weekend. -- nm - TFox Jun 16, 11:58 5
        
        Oh, that's what that box was? I didn't know, and threw it out with the trash, it had been sitting there so long. -- nm - SheFox si Jun 16, 12:02 4
        
        (she knows exactly what the box is.) -- nm - TFox Jun 16, 12:02 3
        
        I bet she gives you crap over it. - loosilu Jun 16, 12:03 2
        
        of course she does. - TFox Jun 16, 12:04 1
        
        I am amazed. Amy would have sent it out after the 2nd week of picking it up to clean around. -- nm - Spawn Jun 16, 12:06
        
        the baby or the package? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 16, 11:55 3
        
        *grabs Jacen and package, chugs, runs out* -- nm - Diva Jun 16, 11:57
        
        the baby will be getting a driver's license before TFox remembers. -- nm - loosilu Jun 16, 11:57
        
        Good chance of both, actually. -- nm - TFox Jun 16, 11:56
        
        stiff -- nm - dogbert183 Jun 16, 11:51
  - Can we distribute a list of the slowpokes so everyone can harass them? -- nm - Dr.Vermin, lights torch, sharpens pitchfork Jun 16, 11:47
Damn you, Microsoft! They're donating 8 meals to the homeless for every IE 8 download! -- (link) - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 16, 11:45
hmm, yeah, boingboing.net is getting hit by a DDoS. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 16, 11:45
B2's anus just teared -- nm - Beaker Jun 16, 11:45
B2 is breakdance fighting! - Dr.Vermin Jun 16, 11:45
anal what? -- nm - nubby Jun 16, 11:45 4
