Poll! what 'rule' did you break by dating your current or last SO? -- nm - Andie Jul 6, 08:02 12
- Long distance -- nm - MDH Jul 6, 08:08
- [deleted]
- Not really a rule, but I wasn't a big fan of the long distance relationship. -- nm - kelly Jul 6, 08:07
- Never date someone that you're going to see on an almost daily basis (i.e. work) -- nm - con_carne Jul 6, 08:05

- that's so cool! -- nm - Andie Jul 6, 07:59
Okay, one more time, I need ST's good thoughts becuase my mother's either insane or dumb. - Will Hunting Jul 6, 07:51 18
- good thoughts sent. why did they agree to drive her? -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 07:54 2
  - Mom is......strong willed. I set her straight a few weeks back re: a few things with my brother and kelly and her actions and the news someone stood - Will Hunting Jul 6, 07:56 1
    - that sucks. there's not much you can do ... other than mentally check out yourself. - loosilu Jul 6, 07:58
- *sending good uneventful thoughts* -- nm - Epiphany Jul 6, 07:53 1
  - ^^ this. -- nm - TFox Jul 6, 07:54
- that's terrible, but, i'm not sure what your mom did wrong? -- nm - Andie Jul 6, 07:52 11
  - Everyone but the doctor told her flying = bad. She wouldn't hear of it. - Will Hunting Jul 6, 07:54 9
    - Ok...the checking out thing wasn't the best. but the flying...her doctor said it was ok. What are ya gonna do? - Jim Jul 6, 07:57
    - the checking herself out part i totally agree, but i can't say i can fault her for listening to her doctor over non-medical family. - Andie Jul 6, 07:56 6
      - Well, some of the people suggesting are EMT's and such...trust me, I'm livid at the doctor at this point - Will Hunting Jul 6, 07:58 5
        
        If you need a boost, the new angus burgers at MickeyD's are sort of amazing. (I particularly like the mushroom and swiss.) -- nm - TFox Jul 6, 07:59 3
        
        I saw those yesterday....i might pick one up soon. Roys has their pulled pork sandwiches back soon! -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 6, 08:00 2
        
        heh heh. (Does this mean I don't have to cook dinner tonight?) :) -- nm - kelly Jul 6, 08:06 1
        
        Maybe ;) -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 6, 08:09
        
        so she shopped around until someone told her what she wanted to hear? - loosilu Jul 6, 07:59
    - ugh. hope everything goes smoothly and she fully recovers soon. -- nm - zork Jul 6, 07:56
  - (oh, the checking herself out part?) -- nm - Andie Jul 6, 07:53
- Consider good thoughts sent. Hopefully the trip is smooth. -- nm - Subversive Jul 6, 07:52
TT/ST and real life coliding: I just use the phrase "Like you care" to my boss.....I dont think she quite got the meaning behind it.....opps :( -- nm - Walt_Disney Jul 6, 07:51
This weekend was a hot sexy dramatic mess. - Hotkiss Jul 6, 07:50 15
- Subquestion: The answer to this question would be different for guys, because of the "bro code" right? -- nm - con_carne Jul 6, 08:04 1
  - I don't think it's different for girls, unless you are ok with losing friends. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 08:07
- it depends. she may not want to be your friend any more. if you could take or leave the guy, but care for her as a friend, then it wasn't nice. - loosilu Jul 6, 07:52
- [deleted] 6
  - hahaha oh God - Hotkiss Jul 6, 07:55 5
    - [deleted] 4
      - I don't even know, but I think I'm going to have to slow down from now on! -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 6, 08:03
      - Hello - there are 3 days in a weekend. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 6, 07:59 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        oh I don't know Jack, you seem to be holding your own. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 6, 08:06
- that whole JD apartment is a hot sexy dramatic mess - *giggling* - Epiphany Jul 6, 07:52
- OMG, you hooked up with Dawson this weekend?!?!?!?! -- nm - Subversive Jul 6, 07:51
- well, he's clearly not that into her, so go nuts. -- nm - mafic Jul 6, 07:51
- only bad if you did it right in front of her. -- nm - Andie Jul 6, 07:51 1
  - we waited until she left to the bars the next night. that's respectful, righ? -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 6, 07:53
While we're talking about it...6/29 was 2 years since our big wreck. That means I only have 1 more to go before I get out of high risk!!! - Jim Jul 6, 07:50
WTF, I'm hungry for lunch already. -- nm - (500) Days of Dano Jul 6, 07:47
The Jennifer's Body trailer doesn't do much for me, but it should be pretty big. -- nm - (500) Days of Dano Jul 6, 07:46 2
- It has two ex-Veronica Mars cast members, so that's a plus. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 6, 07:53
- Me either. Generic horror flick...not very different from everything else out there. nm - Jim Jul 6, 07:48
So if I'm sitting in my car at traffic lights and a guy ploughs into me, *my* insurance premiums go up?! - Loyola Jul 6, 07:45 31
- hell, is it my fault that a stone bounced and broke my windshield? should my rates go up? - zork Jul 6, 07:53 6
  - Windshield insurance is a totally different beast, IMO. -- nm - Subversive Jul 6, 07:56
  - Yeah but the stone, while being at fault, doesn't have insurance. The driver who's at fault, does. -- nm - Loyola Jul 6, 07:54 4
    - That's why you've got that Uninsured Pebble insurance. -- nm - Ender Jul 6, 08:02 1
      - :) -- nm - Loyola Jul 6, 08:04
    - I demand insurance for stones!!! - Cuzzin Todd Jul 6, 07:59 1
      - :) Also, you can't sue stones if they cause you injury. Like if a stone assaulted you, even if they get 5 years jail, they just don't care. -- nm - Loyola Jul 6, 08:03
- Depends on your history and the carrier. nm - Jim Jul 6, 07:46
- Depends on the company I guess. I got plowed into (driver didn't stop coming out of a parking lot as I drove by) and because I wasn't at fault - Cuzzin Todd Jul 6, 07:46 8
  - Fault should be determined by state law, not insurance companies. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 07:46 7
    - Just like medical care should be determined by a doctor and not insurance companies? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 6, 07:47
    - HAAAAAAAA!! - Epiphany Jul 6, 07:47 5
      - so if it's a rear end, how can it be your fault? -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 07:48 4
        
        You should always be paying attention to the space around your car....if you see them coming behind you, you move up or over if it safe to do so.... - Walt_Disney Jul 6, 07:58 1
        
        A ot of the time there is nowhere to go. - Subversive Jul 6, 07:59
        
        several ways - say a person pulls out in front of a car going 65 on a highway - they have time to get out there and get in the lane but is it safe to - Epiphany Jul 6, 07:50
        
        Driving at night with broken taillights rendering you invisible to cars coming up behind you. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 6, 07:48
- maybe -maybe not - depends on who you have as insurance -- nm - Epiphany Jul 6, 07:45 13
  - that makes no sense. either it's your fault or it's not. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 07:46 12
    - no-fault insurance, baby. -- nm - mafic Jul 6, 07:50
    - It's not always that black and white with one person totally at fault for an accident. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 6, 07:47 10
      - oh, I know. I'm just saying, hypothetically, it is not your fault. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 07:47
      - No, but in a rear ender it is. -- nm - Subversive Jul 6, 07:47 8
        
        not always - sorry but true. - Epiphany Jul 6, 07:49 7
        
        Can we agree that in tfox's case it is clearly not his fault? - Subversive Jul 6, 07:50 6
        
        Hells yeah we can agree to that. Something else as an aside - Epiphany Jul 6, 07:55 2
        
        Nah, I'm golden (other than the bit of flu I caught at camp, but I don't think collisions can cause the flu.) -- nm - TFox Jul 6, 07:56 1
        
        Better sue, just in case. -- nm - Subversive Jul 6, 07:56
        
        The best part: it was outside a church having a cookout, and there were *four* cops directing traffic. - TFox Jul 6, 07:53 2
        
        Ya know...in thinking about it. realistically...you could force both the company AND the driver to file claims (example inside) - Jim Jul 6, 07:56
        
        Oh, excellent. That makes it a slam dunk. -- nm - Subversive Jul 6, 07:55
LIR - MJ memorial tickets. It was pointed out on this mornings news that wristbands will be attached when you pick up your tickets. So...the two - MojaveMeg Jul 6, 07:43 2
- I heard one wristband is auto attached the other is for a guest, but idk for sure -- nm - MDH Jul 6, 07:44 1
  - OK, that would make sense. Guess you could still sell one of them. Someone's still taking two mornings (at least) off work to pick up the - MojaveMeg Jul 6, 07:48
[deleted] 40
- nope. --nm - decline Jul 6, 07:46
- Hotkiss isn't interested! -- nm - (500) Days of Dano Jul 6, 07:45
- It's not your fault, so no harm on your part finishing -- nm - MDH Jul 6, 07:44
- Are you in the relationship? No. So no. Done and done. Enjoy your blastoff. -- nm - TFox Jul 6, 07:42
- How does this come up mid-encounter? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 6, 07:41 30
  - [deleted] 26
    - Given this information, I would have left. - Subversive Jul 6, 07:49
    - okay, you know they are still totally having sex and the boyfriend has no idea right? - Epiphany Jul 6, 07:46 20
      - [deleted] 4
        
        it does not matter in the slightest - I thought it odd he felt he had to explain at all. - he could have said " cousin". -- nm - Epiphany Jul 6, 07:51 2
        
        ^5 for the cousin mindmeld. -- nm - TFox Jul 6, 07:52
        
        [deleted]
        
        Why do you think y'all started hooking up in the first place? - TFox Jul 6, 07:49
      - it's a standard lie told by cheating straight guys. who hasn't heard that one? -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 07:47 14
        
        Any cheating guy whose lie is "yeah, that's my SO but we don't have sex anymore and he's/she's out of town" needs to go to remedial lying school. -- nm - TFox Jul 6, 07:48 13
        
        "We haven't had sex in a year." "We sleep on opposite sides of the bed." "We sleep in different beds in the same house." "We're not legally separated - loosilu Jul 6, 07:50 4
        
        The better response? "Who's that in the picture? My cousin. Now less talky and more sucky, s'il vous plait." - TFox Jul 6, 07:51
        
        the last one wasn't a lie in my case... - znufrii Jul 6, 07:50 2
        
        that's fine, but I wouldn't have touched you with a ten foot pole. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 07:57 1
        
        It never would have worked out between us, anyway. -- nm - znufrii Jul 6, 08:01
        
        Word. -- nm - Jim Jul 6, 07:49
        
        yup, three lies is two too many. -- nm - znufrii Jul 6, 07:49 6
        
        you need to raise your standards. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 07:51 5
        
        I'm speaking objectively. - znufrii Jul 6, 07:54 4
        
        if you're going to lie to me about being in a relationship, I don't want to be with you. - loosilu Jul 6, 08:00 3
        
        a perfectly valid preference, but completely irrelevant to the point I was making. -- nm - znufrii Jul 6, 08:03 2
        
        which is that one lie is ok? -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 08:04 1
        
        nope. - znufrii Jul 6, 08:08
    - I don't really buy into the whole "it is the responsibility of the single folk to keep the committed folk from screwing around" thing. At all. -- nm - TFox Jul 6, 07:45 1
      - I agree with this. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 6, 07:49
    - constructive abandonment, you're in the clear. -- nm - znufrii Jul 6, 07:44 1
      - [deleted]
  - "You're so much better/worse than my boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife/mother/etc. !" -- nm - zork Jul 6, 07:43 1
    - [deleted]
  - "Oh... Ohhhhh.... Oh, boyfriend, you are rocking me!" -- nm - the other guy Jul 6, 07:43
- Don't answer the phone during sex. -- nm - Loyola Jul 6, 07:41 1
  - especially when you're at *his* place. -- nm - znufrii Jul 6, 07:41
- Depends how mid. -- nm - Subversive Jul 6, 07:41
- well someone had an interesting weekend. - Epiphany Jul 6, 07:41
- wait, I thought everyone on st knew that znu was in a relationship.... -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 6, 07:40
10 things you can try in order to keep your keyboard off the toxic superfund list -- (link) - tRuMaN Jul 6, 07:39
I have no interest in filing a...claim... -- nm - Chance the Gardener Jul 6, 07:38
why wouldn't it go through the driver's insurance? he wasn't on company business. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 07:38 8
- [deleted] 3
  - I once had a fender bender while driving my dad's car with his permission. I signed an affidavit stating that I was using the car for my own purposes - loosilu Jul 6, 07:42 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - hehehehe, you said anal (agous) -- nm - (500) Days of Dano Jul 6, 07:44
- I doubt an individual drivers insurance would cover him driving a dump truck or company truck. - Subversive Jul 6, 07:40 1
  - Exactly. Driving someone else's personal car (or a rental, for that matter) will fall under the driver. - Jim Jul 6, 07:45
- maybe, but that all depends on that the company that owns the truck wants to do. - tRuMaN Jul 6, 07:39 1
  - The driver called his boss, the boss told him to have me call him on Monday morning. - TFox Jul 6, 07:41
Word. -- nm - Jim Jul 6, 07:38
