speaking of dwellings, it is completely weird and overwhelming to move to a place four times the size of my last, and a mostly blank-slate yard - kare Jul 8, 14:58 13
- BTW - the pic you post of your garden has inspired a landscaping plan in my mind. - Cuzzin Todd Jul 8, 15:03 3
  - sweet! i love that crap! -- nm - kare Jul 8, 15:05 2
    - I really liked the little picket fence you had going around yours. - Cuzzin Todd Jul 8, 15:12 1
      - that's a great idea! we just bought those pre-formed pickets and cut them down by 6". will you do a garden in there? ooh! pot-bellied pigs! - kare Jul 8, 15:15

- lists. lots of lists. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 14:59 1
  - i'm thinking about a design board a'la my projects in my interior design class. - kare Jul 8, 15:00
Also, the truth of Bungie Vs. the World is that I got my ass kicked. Repeatedly. - David Jul 8, 14:53 4
- all I know is that I must be way better than david, bery, and j. - tRuMaN Jul 8, 15:21 1
  - Freak Map Lover! -- nm - David Jul 8, 15:22
- getting to the right weapons really makes a world of difference. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 8, 14:54 1

What I learned from backboards: if a chick gets flowers and it's not her birthday, she gave it up to a stranger the night before. -- nm - David Jul 8, 14:52 11
- 'boom-boom's petals' -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 8, 14:54
- ... that's so wrong. - Beryllium Jul 8, 14:53 9
  - Are you calling the backboards a liar? -- nm - David Jul 8, 14:53 8
    - "whatever you say, "B3"." -- nm - Max Jul 8, 15:12
    - No, I'm just saying that they don't impart wisdom relating to real-world scenarios. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 14:54 6
      - How little you know and understand of the ways of backboards. -- nm - David Jul 8, 14:56 5
        
        I rather think that I have an intricate and zen-like understanding of the Ways of the Tiger Eagle Backboard Clan. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 14:57 4
        
        Yet the mating practices of the Flower Slut elude you. -- nm - David Jul 8, 14:59 3
        
        slapchop boogie-woogie ka-CHOW! - Beryllium Jul 8, 15:15 2

heh...who needs iTunes to make ringtones for the iPhone....Myxer does it for free - Drill Chef Stephen Jul 8, 14:51 9
- Let me know after you received your first phone bill. :) -- nm - nubby Jul 8, 14:58 5
  - Wait, what? - Drill Chef Stephen Jul 8, 14:59 4
    - I don't know. But I've been burned before. - nubby Jul 8, 15:01 2
      - Using Myxer? - Drill Chef Stephen Jul 8, 15:03 1
        
        No, other things. -- nm - nubby Jul 8, 15:05
    - Cause this is what I used to base using them on: "Making your own ringtones and wallpapers is free. - Drill Chef Stephen Jul 8, 15:01
- I'm pretty sure I didn't have to pay for iTunes. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 8, 14:52 2
  - no, you don't pay for iTunes, but to make a ringtone in iTunes it has to be a from a song you purchased through them and then the ringtone itself - Drill Chef Stephen Jul 8, 14:54 1
    - Seriously? That's madness! -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 8, 14:55
So, our house search criteria (a brief summary) - Beryllium Jul 8, 14:41 25

    - Canada without AC. That sounds terrible. That sounds like "Las Vegas without AC." -- nm - con_carne Jul 8, 14:57 3
      - I have nothing to back this up, but my guess is that less than 10% of Canadian homes have AC. -- nm - Reagen Jul 8, 15:11
      - A/C means coldness. Canada is synonymous with coldness. How much colder do you need it? - Beryllium Jul 8, 14:58 1
        
        There goes that joke. I live in LA. I'm air/heating illiterate. -- nm - con_carne Jul 8, 14:59
  - That's not much of an issue here. It's Canada, after all. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 14:54 3
    - in that case, you need a Tim Hortons within walking distance :) -- nm - peglegpete Jul 8, 14:55 1
      - Also not much of an issue here - it's Canada, after all. ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 14:56
    - (We have portable A/C in our condo, because it acts like a solar oven for two weeks out of the year - but in the winter, we don't even need heat) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 14:55
- I love living in a place with stairs again. every time I walk up or down, I feel like I'm in a fairy tale. apartment living is *not* for me. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 8, 14:48 6
  - We'd settle for a rancher, if it felt "right", but I know the cats would like some stairs ... :) - Beryllium Jul 8, 14:51
  - i would love the stairs except for having to wheelbarrow or full-on life poor Angel up them. -- nm - kare Jul 8, 14:50 3
    - I'm willing to sacrifice to live in a place I love. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 8, 14:55 1
      - ? i'm totally glad for you. i'm just obsessed about my dog and her trouble with the stairs in my new place. -- nm - kare Jul 8, 14:57
    - life = lift -- nm - kare Jul 8, 14:50

    - (We want what we want - and we almost had it, too, but it slipped through our fingers because the seller's realtor was using us to coerce a full-price - Beryllium Jul 8, 14:47 5
      - You know... they say it's cheaper to build. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 8, 14:50 2
        
        largely because if you're building, you're generally on the edge of everywhere. -- nm - Reagen Jul 8, 15:12
        
        Here? No effing way. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 14:51
      - you're not in a hurry, right? you still own your condo. i think it's great you're taking your time and not settling. -- nm - kare Jul 8, 14:49 1
        
        Well, it would be nice to be able to divest the condo, but the market's not right for that. - Beryllium Jul 8, 14:52
CT - im curious - what do you dislike about it? - Guy Jul 8, 14:40 22
- I would like to switch, but I need my NoScript and my FireFTP. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 8, 14:47 5
  - At work, I use Firefox for work, and Chrome for Slackertalk. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 14:48 4
    - ditto. i have to use FF for web maintenance (and Firebug is pretty boss) -- nm - Guy Jul 8, 14:51
    - I use ie for work and safari for personal. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 8, 14:49
    - Hmmmm. I think I will try this. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 8, 14:48 1
      - I like having the compartmentalization ... when I head home, I just close chrome and leave my other stuff running for the morning -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 14:49
- I could never use Chrome when I ran Windows at home, because the Maximize button was broken (it maximized to the size of the smallest monitor ... - Beryllium Jul 8, 14:44
- Chrome isn't all gummed up with stuff everywhere. It's very simple in design. - TWuG Jul 8, 14:43 8
  - Yes - no adblacker, no cookie contraols (that I've found but didn't look much). -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 8, 14:44 7
    - cookie controls are under "Options" in the menu that looks like a wrench -- nm - Guy Jul 8, 14:46 2
      - Basically I didn't feel the need to figure out a new browser I didn't immediately like when I was happy with FF. - Cuzzin Todd Jul 8, 15:00 1
        
        Yes to the IM - TWuG Jul 8, 15:02
    - adblacker. This amuses me. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 14:45 3
      - "Yo. Buy these Cialis pills, make your lady friend go crazy, ya heard?" -- nm - TFox Jul 8, 14:48 2

        Lookin' for crazy white bitches with pale-ass skin and way too much mothafuckin' makeup? Gothscene, yo! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 8, 14:52
- What you like I dislike - the lack of any menus. Also the lack of a "stop" button. - Cuzzin Todd Jul 8, 14:42 5
  - The address bar has a tringle at the right that becomes an X while loading. Hit that and it stops loading. - TWuG Jul 8, 14:44
  - there's a stop button on the right hand side of the address bar when a page is loading -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 14:43 3
    - yep. and the menus are just to the right of that. - Guy Jul 8, 14:45 1
      - Don't forget "porn mode" -- nm - TWuG Jul 8, 14:45
    - Then the lack of any explanation as to what things are... ;) -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 8, 14:44

- how about a peanut butter cup on your pillow? nm -- nm - groiny Jul 8, 14:41
- did TFox explain 'snap site' yet? -- nm - Guy Jul 8, 14:39 12
  - I think if I tell this one more time, it will be the most overtold story in ST history. -- nm - TFox Jul 8, 14:42 10
    - One more time! -- nm - con_carne Jul 8, 14:43 8
      - It's barely even a story! - TFox Jul 8, 14:47 7
