  - word -- nm - Beaker Jul 31, 07:55
  - Yeah, that's more like a very large bar. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 07:15

      - I'm actually curious why they aren't even attempting to do mandatory masks for players during play. Of all sports, it seems like baseball could work - oblique Jul 31, 07:33 4

  - the only phone numbers I know are mine, my wife's, and pointless ones from before the age of mobile phones. -- nm - mafic Jul 31, 07:22
  - Your parents are 911???? -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 06:42
- My mom wants to get one installed because she worries her cell phone will die or have an issue and she wants the safety of a home phone. -- nm - Krusty Jul 31, 06:36 9
  - I'm seriously thinking about having one put in at my mom's. She has a terrible habit of ignoring (or simply not hearing) her cell phone - decline Jul 31, 06:40 8
    - My mom accidentally turns off the volume on her cell. She has similar issue as your mom so I'm fine with her getting a home phone. - Krusty Jul 31, 06:46 3
      - she also had completely turned off sound on her cell at one point because the notifications where 'bothering her'. - decline Jul 31, 06:54 1
        
        Ha! -- nm - Krusty Jul 31, 07:05
      - YOu guys are no help at all. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 06:46
    - Might be worth looking at the Amazon Echo Connect. It can tie a landline into Amazon devices which could be all over the house -- nm - oblique Jul 31, 06:44 2
      - yeah. I got her a google home she can use to call out but realized that doesn't do me any good checking on her -- nm - decline Jul 31, 06:52 1
        
        Amazon has a "drop in" feature that you can use to initiate talking through them like an intercom. I'm actually really impressed with all the options - oblique Jul 31, 06:55
    - Well my dad is fine with his cell phone. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 06:42
- We had ours for a long time because the number was very well known to everyone we knew. I ended up porting it to a VoIP provider, then eventually - oblique Jul 31, 06:33
- just unplug it and don't tell him -- nm - decline Jul 31, 06:32
Everytime someone asks for loaner laptops at work now I basically assume that - oblique Jul 31, 06:27 8
- we're sharing COVID work stories? Okay. - Strongbad Jul 31, 06:36 1
  - Nice. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 06:41
- "Here's mine back." "No no, you keep that." -- nm - JaxSean Jul 31, 06:29
- How do they pick up the laptop? -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 06:29 4
  - With their hands -- nm - decline Jul 31, 06:30
  - When we did our return to work in early June I bought and installed a set of "smart lockers" like what they have at Home Depot. We can do - oblique Jul 31, 06:30
  - Usually with their hands, but Mitch... *shivers* -- nm - Qale Jul 31, 06:30 1
    - *unsee* -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 06:34

  - He knows better. He also knows the idiots that listen to him don't. -- nm - znufrii still hasn't gotten a haircut Jul 31, 06:36
- Oh how coincidental. My dad said the exact same things last night about mail in voting. He doesn't watch TV so I assume he's reading this shit online. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 06:28
Mop, from B2 about my fiscal issues. - Marlowe Jul 31, 06:17 1
- best wishes -- nm - mud Jul 31, 06:54
Darren Wilson will again not be charged for shooting Michael Brown after review of case by new St. Louis county prosecutor. -- (link) - znufrii still hasn't gotten a haircut Jul 31, 06:06 3
- Everything was calm last night but tonight’s Friday so we’ll see. -- nm - spamlet Jul 31, 07:16
- So even the prosecutor elected in the wake of the shooting couldn't make a case of it. - Blue Punch Baron Jul 31, 06:54 1
  - And was elected promising this prosecution. - spamlet Jul 31, 07:18
For the longest time,I thought that Hollies song was CCR.It definitely has the same sound -- nm - CQ Jul 31, 05:59 7
- definitely -- nm - prayformojo Jul 31, 07:42 2
  - Wiki (sorry ... WKy) describes it as "CCR inspired" ... the history of the song is interesting as it was not successful in the UK and considered - rollo Jul 31, 07:58 1
