    - I don't know if I've ever seen a CA roll with real crab. (however, I never order it) -- nm - con_carne Jul 22, 14:26 2
      - it's still cooked. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:27
      - even if it's fake crab, it's still seafood. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 22, 14:26
  - egg would be cooked, too. And tempura prawn ... mmm. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 22, 14:21
  - and the egg. -- nm - Andie Jul 22, 14:21
- I think insisting that heat be present for it to qualify as "cooking" is being a little too rigid. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:18 3
  - no ceviche for znu.! -- nm - b. Jul 22, 14:19 2
    - why not? - znufrii Jul 22, 14:28

- How's the job thing going? -- nm - con_carne Jul 22, 14:19 51
  - looking on craigslist.com everyday, havent found anything so far that will cover all the bills. -- nm - Stacy Jul 22, 14:20 50
    - I think just taking any job would give you momentum. maybe take a couple of part-time jobs and keep looking? - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 22, 14:23 10
      - i'm all for that, when jobs are available. - b. Jul 22, 14:30
      - Listen to the smart lady. -- nm - mara Jul 22, 14:27 4
        
        Listen to your friend mandy zane, she's a smart dude. -- nm - Hansel Jul 22, 14:30
        
        (Ooops, does that sound snarky? Didn't mean it that way.) -- nm - mara Jul 22, 14:30 2
        
        only if you would have added - con_carne Jul 22, 14:33
        
        Didn't to me. -- nm - Subversive Jul 22, 14:30
      - Agreed. Long stretches of unemployment look bad on a resume. -- nm - con_carne Jul 22, 14:27
      - *dingdingdingding*!!! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 22, 14:25
      - agreed. -- nm - znufrii Jul 22, 14:25
      - exactly, one thing often leads to another... -- nm - Andie Jul 22, 14:25
    - shit, i've been at this job for almost five years and I'm not even sure *I* can cover all my bills every month. -- nm - TFox Jul 22, 14:22
    - I don't say this to be mean...but seriously? Looking for jobs on craigslist? - Stephen Jul 22, 14:21 35
      - yes -- nm - Pippy Loves Scotty Jul 22, 14:33
      - Surprisingly, in big metro areas that *is* a viable source for locating work. - TWuG Jul 22, 14:24 1
        
        My company (1000+ employees) uses CL for a substantial number of our new hires. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 22, 14:27
      - It's a legit source, from what I hear. -- nm - con_carne Jul 22, 14:24
      - Wow ... um, yeah. People do this a LOT. How do you think Craigslist got so big? - Beryllium Jul 22, 14:24 19
        
        I can't get rid of my PS2 on it apparently though. -- nm - Qale Jul 22, 14:27 1
        
        I've been trying to sell my PS2 on kijiji for 2 months with hardly a sniff. -- nm - Subversive Jul 22, 14:29
        
        Let me put it this way, imho, there's no way i'm looking for a job on a site where I can also get a "date" for the night. - Stephen Jul 22, 14:27 13
        
        Well, to millions of other users, it sure as fuck DOES get considered as reputable. - Beryllium Jul 22, 14:34 1
        
        take a deep breath man. - Stephen Jul 22, 14:39
        
        Huh. It's a pretty basic resource for all kinds of stuff here. - con_carne Jul 22, 14:32
        
        same would be true of a newspaper, wouldn't it? -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:28 9
        
        I don't know, do newspapers run ads with explicit ads for "services?" - Stephen Jul 22, 14:31 8
        
        Pretty much all of them, yes. - Reagen Jul 22, 14:36
        
        We'll take anything you want to pay for, at this point. -- nm - Classified Dept. Jul 22, 14:34
        
        Yes, actually. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 22, 14:33 1
        
        Really? With explicit photos and everything? - Stephen Jul 22, 14:36
        
        plenty of them do. -- nm - Andie Jul 22, 14:32
        
        depends on the newspaper. - znufrii Jul 22, 14:32
        
        Do you purchase books from Amazon? They sell sex toys, too. -- nm - TWuG Jul 22, 14:32 1
        
        Yes, well i'm not looking for a job on Amazon now am I? - Stephen Jul 22, 14:33
        
        Stalkers looking for new victims .... and crappy furniture. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 22, 14:24 2
        
        well, yes, that too. :P - Beryllium Jul 22, 14:25 1
        
        Probably by drug runners looking for an easy distribution hub. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 22, 14:25
      - i don't think she *shouldn't" check craigslist, but it should damn well not be her primary source. -- nm - Andie Jul 22, 14:23 1
        
        also looking on monster.com and the SF Chronicle online. -- nm - Stacy Jul 22, 14:24
      - depends on the city. some cities have extremely active jobs sites on CL. - TFox Jul 22, 14:23 3
        
        they also charge for real estate listings in NYC, iirc. -- nm - znufrii Jul 22, 14:25 2
        
        oh, maybe it's real estate and not jobs. i dunno. either way, subby's right: not a sole source. -- nm - TFox Jul 22, 14:26 1
        
        iirc the first thing they charged for was jobs in San Fran, followed by real estate in NYC - znufrii Jul 22, 14:27
      - Ask me about my weeeiner!!! -- nm - Qale Jul 22, 14:23
      - depends on what you're looking for, and where. - znufrii Jul 22, 14:22 3
        
        Mafia Wars expert? -- nm - Beaker Jul 22, 14:23
        
        But as your *only* resource? -- nm - Subversive Jul 22, 14:23 1
        
        conceded -- nm - TFox Jul 22, 14:23
    - Your job hunting strategy involves searching *one* website every day? -- nm - Subversive Jul 22, 14:21
    - some of the bills ? nm -- nm - groiny Jul 22, 14:21
- organ donor? -- nm - Beaker Jul 22, 14:17
- I pick you, Pikachu! nm -- nm - Hotkiss si Jul 22, 14:17 2
  - Squirrrrrrtle. -- nm - groiny S.I. Jul 22, 14:20 1
    - sorry about that. - groiny Jul 22, 14:21
- How were we wrong? You told us what she did! -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 22, 14:17 12
  - Jim tried to say that local always beats long distance, *always* -- nm - Stacy Jul 22, 14:18 11
    - I thought I said that. - ty97 Jul 22, 14:24
    - Oh, I didn't realize Jim was now the whole of ST and that you and this woman are now ya know, a success story. - Will Hunting Jul 22, 14:23
    - in the particular situation you described, where the person in question was still involved with a local person. - b. Jul 22, 14:22 2
      - I know I'm just saying they arent even speaking to each other anymore. -- nm - Stacy Jul 22, 14:27 1
        
        that may well be the at-the-moment situation. - b. Jul 22, 14:33
    - What you have is a friendship, not a dating relationship. Dating requires face-to-face interaction. Until you have that, you have nothing - TWuG Jul 22, 14:21 5
      - we had a date last night -- nm - Stacy Jul 22, 14:30 4
        
        talked on the phone for 4 hours. -- nm - Stacy Jul 22, 14:31 3
        
        If a 4 hour talk with a woman on the phone was a date, I'd be in deep shit with my wife. - TWuG Jul 22, 14:35
        
        i do that with my best friends, but it's not a date. it's a phone conversation. now, phone conversations can *lead* to dates, and they can be flirty, - Andie Jul 22, 14:32 1
        
        yah, you can reach a certain level of intimacy (no, not that way; except for those who do that); but there's still a different level beyond that.-- nm - b. Jul 22, 14:37
- or at least, that's what she's told *you* -- nm - znufrii Jul 22, 14:15 7
  - oh no its over between her and the other girl, they had an awful date and she barfed all over the girl's bathroom after a night of bad karokee. -- nm - Stacy Jul 22, 14:22 6
    - just a note - do you want to be with someone who basically wants to date you just cause she managed to mess up something else? - Andie Jul 22, 14:28 1
      - she knew the other girl longer, we were just getting to knwo each toher when the other girl asked her to be exclusive without commitment, she still - Stacy Jul 22, 14:33
    - is that picking you, or not picking barf? -- nm - TFox Jul 22, 14:24 2
      - no, stacy's chick barfed. so the barfee probs dumped *her.* not vice versa. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 22, 14:25 1
        
        maybe i'm underestimating the chances for success here... -- nm - TFox Jul 22, 14:26
    - nm -- (link) - znufrii Jul 22, 14:23 [Backboard]
- She still lives in Kentucky and you've still never met. -- nm - TWuG Jul 22, 14:15 1
  - close, Nashville Tennessee -- nm - Stacy Jul 22, 14:17
- what does that *mean* ? -- nm - Andie Jul 22, 14:15 7
  - At least three more threads this month. -- nm - David Jul 22, 14:17 6
    - just 3? -- nm - Beaker Jul 22, 14:23 1
      - Well, it's already the 22nd. - David Jul 22, 14:35
    - *golf clap* -- nm - Subversive Jul 22, 14:22
    - this show is in reruns already? it *was* almost as good as the premium-channel version of the dawson show. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 22, 14:22 2
      - Dawson's Crack? nm -- nm - groiny Jul 22, 14:25
      - It's just not the same without the nudity. -- nm - Subversive Jul 22, 14:23
- ...but you still haven't met.... -- nm - Stephen Jul 22, 14:15 5
  - it's too soon to meet, things take time. -- nm - Stacy Jul 22, 14:19 4
    - *snort* - Stephen Jul 22, 14:23
    - you can be exclusively dating, but not meeting? - Andie Jul 22, 14:20
    - *covers eyes* Stacy, don't do this to yourself. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:20 1
      - listen to loosi. -- nm - b. Jul 22, 14:26
can I see (all but the last 20 minutes of) sunshine? -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 22, 14:14 1
- It was only six minutes, but then it came back. Praise be to Vishnu. -- nm - some Indian dude with weird sunglasses Jul 22, 14:18
Tony Bernazard, a New York Mets executive, recently challenged one of club's minor league teams to a fight during a postgame clubhouse tirade. - David Jul 22, 14:13 2
- Let's Go Mets! -- nm - znufrii Jul 22, 14:14 1
  - Do it (let's go) Do it (let's go) Do it (let's go) Let's Go Mets Go! -- nm - ty97 Jul 22, 14:18
Boom Shockalocka! -- nm - David Jul 22, 14:12 2
- *takes a shot* -- nm - con_carne Jul 22, 14:13
