Well, after our bank survey the other day now I'm disappointed with PNC. I use the bill pay between them and Quicken for lots of stuff - oblique Feb 24, 07:47 7
- When it comes to bill payments, i hate delays in payments clearing. Online or auto works in most cases for me. -- nm - budice Feb 24, 08:05

- Didn't Google announce not to long ago that ad blockers will stop working with Chrome? -- nm - sycor Feb 24, 07:19 1

  - the main rottens seem to fall into "if you like bears killing people this movie says a lot about you and you are a horrible person" - Beaker Feb 24, 08:15 7
    - Amy is not into it as it is based on a true story and they killed the bear. I can respect that. But I will still enjoy the hell out of it, by myself. - Spawn Feb 24, 08:18 5
      - Just to be clear, in real life, authorities didn't kill the bear. They found it dead from inhaling kilogram after kilogram of coke. - David Feb 24, 08:20 4
        
        Ah. Well, that would still bum Amy out (or may be what she meant). Cocaine is HIGHLY addictive. If the bear had ran out, things would have been worse. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 08:22 3
