And heres today's boston.com Love Letters question: - Diva Jul 17, 10:44 15
- There are people who meet their first love young, marry them, and live happily ever after. - ty97 Jul 17, 10:56
- Commitment phobe. She's young. *shrug* -- nm - Loyola Jul 17, 10:53
- Lots of people get married faster than 2 years. -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 10:49 1
  - The majority of people, I'd guess (though perhaps not so for younger adults). -- nm - Don Homer Jul 17, 10:50
- Idiot...it's a vacation out of Boston to a warm sunny place over Thanksgiving. Overanalyze much? -- nm - Jim Jul 17, 10:49
- i question how crazy about him she is, what with all the questions. and "only 2 years" - um, that's not 2 weeks. - b. Jul 17, 10:48

- "If you want to give God a good laugh, tell him your plans." - Dr.Vermin Jul 17, 10:47
- Sounds like she still wants to explore. Two years is a long time -- nm - amoxy Jul 17, 10:46
- yes, she's overanalyzing this too much. go if you like the dude -- nm - just dug Jul 17, 10:46 4
  - I think she feels guilty because she knows it's not going to last forever. -- nm - Diva Jul 17, 10:46 3
    - she needs to decide whether she's way into him more than she should be, or if she can't imagine a future together - just dug Jul 17, 10:50
    - likely - but when she hits 32, she wont' care what she did at 22 - she will care what she did not do. - Epiphany Jul 17, 10:50
    - totally. my first thought was that she needs to break-up with him, but i gave her a little benefit due to age. -- nm - b. Jul 17, 10:50

- GO TO THE ER RIGHT AWAY!!! -- nm - Don Homer Jul 17, 10:41
- None, you don't work for a defense contractor. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 10:41 57
  - But if I did, what laws did I break? -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 10:44 56
    - Stop poking...(nm) - amoxy Jul 17, 10:49 27
      - honestly (spoils) - Jim Jul 17, 10:51 19
        
        because it serves zero purpose. - Mel Profit Jul 17, 10:57 2
        
        ok...let's break this down a bit (spoils) - Jim Jul 17, 11:03 1
        
        Well, I would have left the building if that conversation had went on anywhere near that long. - Spawn Jul 17, 11:05
        
        I had to look back because I didn't remember telling you to stop - amoxy Jul 17, 10:56
        
        you didn't ask me - Epiphany Jul 17, 10:56 14
        
        Do a tally of how many posts have been made on this password thing today. - Spawn Jul 17, 10:59 3
        
        why does anyone have to keep a tally? who cares who is in the lead - Epiphany Jul 17, 11:05 2
        
        "but it goes on and on and on" = Your words -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 11:09 1
        
        I was unclear - I meant the snipping at the heels goes on and on and on - Epiphany Jul 17, 11:12
        
        I'm down with that...but what actually do they get tired of? nm -- nm - Jim Jul 17, 10:59 9
        
        we know you do not like her. - b. Jul 17, 11:05 5
        
        Here's what I want to know...why is Spawn or I saying something right now... - Jim Jul 17, 11:11 4
        
        because we know you do not like her. - b. Jul 17, 11:14 3
        
        Ya know what...this is going no where. You win. nm - Jim Jul 17, 11:18 2
        
        word -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 11:37
        
        I'm not loosi. - b. Jul 17, 11:21
        
        snipping by certain people to other people -- nm - Epiphany Jul 17, 11:03 2
        
        And some people get tired of the same thing every day... - Jim Jul 17, 11:07 1
        
        I actually had to figure out what you WERE talking about - maybe I just assumed. sorry. - Epiphany Jul 17, 11:10
      - I seriously wondered, but the more I google, the less I find. -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 10:50 6
        
        Did you also know there is no law requiring companies to give Employees Holiday Pay? -- nm - amoxy Jul 17, 10:52 5
        
        No, but I am not posting on ST about it, either. -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 10:56 4
        
        Are you calling my work boring? - amoxy Jul 17, 10:59 3
        
        YEAH!!! - Spawn Jul 17, 11:02 2
        
        Actually, I did not want an ST fight, just feeling the fightiness today - amoxy Jul 17, 11:03 1
        
        The board is about to roll. Serenity will return. -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 11:05
    - whatever laws are governing the handling of sensitive government information. -- nm - znufrii Jul 17, 10:46 26
      - So. None. -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 10:49 23
        
        There are no laws governing classified government information? -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 10:50 22
        
        Are there? - Spawn Jul 17, 10:53
        
        There certainly are. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 17, 10:51 20
        
        and even if this doesn't fall under those specifically, there are almost certainly military rules and regs which might as well be laws, as far her job - znufrii Jul 17, 10:53 13
        
        [deleted] 12
        
        so, at worst she's guilty of using an overly broad term to illustrate her point. -- nm - znufrii Jul 17, 10:55 11
        
        Breaking a rule and breaking a law are kind of a different thing. -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 10:57
        
        [deleted] 9
        
        which was, at best, a side issue. - Reagen Jul 17, 10:58 8
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        My point is that I can't understand *why* that's the part of the discussion people care about. - Reagen Jul 17, 11:03 3
        
        [deleted]
        
        (although really, I suppose I can't quite understand why people got worked up over it anyway) - Reagen Jul 17, 11:05 1
        
        But see, I am not *worked up*. I just find her posturing a bit preposterous. - Spawn Jul 17, 11:07
        
        To you, maybe. -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 11:01 2
        
        just posting 'cause I like really tiny text -- nm - decline Jul 17, 11:07 1
        
        Just adds to the post count of my thread! -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 11:08
        
        Right. Which is why I find the incredulity a little baffling. - Reagen Jul 17, 10:51 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        See what you all have done now? You got him talking all lawyer-y now. I hope you're happy! -- nm - Jim Jul 17, 10:56 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        I don't know the law, but my guess is that it's overkill by the IT Security and probably not an actual law. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 17, 10:55 1

- drink. obvs. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 17, 10:39
- do you even need to ask? - znufrii Jul 17, 10:39
Enough Emmys. Name the 10 Best Picture Oscar Nominees. Go! -- nm - ty97 Jul 17, 10:39 4

- put on some pants! -- nm - b. Jul 17, 10:39 1
  - He should be here soon. He tried to come early, but I was just leaving work when he left the voicemail. -- nm - Todd Manning Jul 17, 10:44
RE: Family Guy's Emmy - my issue with it would not be so much that I don't like the show, though there are plenty of comedies I'd nominate ahead of it - Reagen Jul 17, 10:38 18
- equal screwing all around? fixing the issue rather than prolonging it is commendable, isn't it? -- nm - Max Jul 17, 10:51
- Family Guy was funny the first two seasons. - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 17, 10:47 2
  - /me grabs knee and winces in pain. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 17, 11:05
  - Side comment: I am wholeheartedly satisfied that I've started a multiboard outrage-fest with my one post. On this topic. -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 10:49
- Again... The Simpsons has not been ignored, the producers submit it for consideration in the Animated category, not for Best Comedy. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 17, 10:40 9
  - Irrelevant. -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 10:42 8
    - A show can't be nominated in a category it hasn't been submitted for. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 17, 10:43 7
      - Frankly...that's kinda stupid. Does someone really have to send in a piece of paper to say, "Hey, we'd like Emmy consideration?" - Jim Jul 17, 10:47 4
        
        Pretty much, yes. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 17, 10:57
        
        Yes, and even dumber is that the producers submit very specific episodes. So, for example, - Don Homer Jul 17, 10:49 2
        
        It makes sense somewhat - after all, voters could never watch every episode of every show under consideration. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 17, 10:57 1
        
        I agree somewhat; on the otherhand to make a comparison, certainly the vast majority of Oscar voters don't see anywhere near all films each year. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 17, 11:00
      - it's been submitted in the past and ignored. (And often did not even win Best Animated) -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 10:46
      - CT wins. -- nm - Todd Manning Jul 17, 10:46
- This is my sentiment exactly. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 17, 10:40
- But Family Guy is funnier than The Simp....oh, nevermind. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 17, 10:39 2
  - I agree!!! Family Guy bringz the lolz!! -- nm - nickfudge Jul 17, 10:40 1
    - I give it an A+! -- nm - bery Jul 17, 10:43
Watching the Open online, am forced to watch American ads. Awful. -- nm - Loyola Jul 17, 10:38 4
- And, Tiger Woods... (spoilers?) - Don Homer Jul 17, 10:39 3
  - Yeah, totally agree. My dead granny could have gotten par on some of those holes. -- nm - Loyola Jul 17, 10:42 1
    - +7 in 6 holes - Don Homer Jul 17, 10:43
  - My IM should say 7; not 9. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 17, 10:41
friday hax chat q: roommates! how would you deal with this dirty, messy, razor-user? - just dug Jul 17, 10:34 18
- Leave a note, put your razor up, assign chores - Epiphany Jul 17, 10:38
- 1. don't leave your razor around. 2. You can have a conversation (about the razor, cleaning, everything) in an adult, non-confrontational way. -- nm - ty97 Jul 17, 10:37
- [deleted] 2
  - No good, that will just be more to shave -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 10:37 1
    - *spittake* -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 17, 10:49

- Don't leave your razor lying around. -- nm - Loyola Jul 17, 10:36
- I'm guessing the "e" means the author is male? -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 17, 10:35 6
  - doubt it, what female would allow thier fiance to live with another woman? -- nm - znufrii Jul 17, 10:41 2
    - An emotionally secure one? -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 10:48
    - Funny, coming from you. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 17, 10:46
  - I wouldn't assume that. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 17, 10:36 2
