Anyone else who saw Dr Who: Planet of the Dead: Did you think they were setting Lady Christina up for her own show? -- nm - TWuG Jul 27, 12:42 1
- I think she was much easier to like when not doing an American accent. -- nm - David Jul 27, 12:53

Bery, had you tested ST before now to make sure it could handle both Stacy and Hotkiss relationship talk simultaneously? - TFox Jul 27, 12:35 6
- We're okay unless Redmond signs on too. -- nm - Dano Jul 27, 12:41
- I like Stacy's talk. It's reassuring and optimistic, even in the strangest sense -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 27, 12:37
- It's designed with recursion in mind. This shouldn't break things. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 27, 12:36 1
  - ST is nothing if not repetetive -- nm - znufrii Jul 27, 12:37
- I think the server is making it's way towards a full bath tub. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 27, 12:36 1
  - *unplugs the toaster and the blow-dryer and the curling iron* -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 27, 12:37

- Just step down, and give the reason that you don't want to be a lame duck :) -- nm - con_carne Jul 27, 12:40 1
  - This is why I want to finally get the perfect-match house and move on. - Beryllium Jul 27, 12:41
- The Strata Council? Do you meet in a dark room and wear robes? -- nm - Mop (face it, the scale says 240 lbs) Jul 27, 12:37 8
  - I wish my HOAs had cool names. -- nm - Spawn Jul 27, 12:38 6
    - well, ours is technically "Strata Council for Camberley Court, Strata Plan VIS####" -- nm - Beryllium Jul 27, 12:40 5

        Some of them do, but they have programmers do them. - Spawn Jul 27, 12:45 2
        
        See, since I'm currently in charge of the strata site ... and I want to divest the condo eventually ... - Beryllium Jul 27, 12:47 1
        
        The management compnay would use it as an anchor, to keeping the contract. -- nm - Spawn Jul 27, 12:49

So I know I'm days behind, but that Tron trailer is visually incredible -- nm - MDH Jul 27, 12:32 13
- It's interesting, but it doesn't look all that different from the original. That may be the point - TWuG Jul 27, 12:34 6
  - I forget, is this a remake or a sequel? -- nm - znufrii Jul 27, 12:36 1
    - Sequel. -- nm - TWuG Jul 27, 12:36
  - and a testament to how much the original was ahead of its time. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 27, 12:36 3
    - I need to get this on DVD and watch it, it's been a while. -- nm - znufrii Jul 27, 12:45 2
      - I rewatched it last week. Still pretty impressive... especially for a *27-year-old* movie. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 27, 12:48
      - personally? it didn't age well. -- nm - TFox Jul 27, 12:45

    - But this one is better than all the others. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 27, 12:34 5
      - stop it! i am weak! -- nm - TFox Jul 27, 12:35 4
        
        And really, for that price, how much do you really need to play to get your money's worth? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 27, 12:37 3
        
        If I could find something else I really wanted for $12, I'd be done already. -- nm - TFox Jul 27, 12:40 2

Wait, Drew Bennett retired? Weird. -- nm - David Jul 27, 12:21 5
- It's a rough time to be a Raven formally with the Titans. I expect a Samari Rolle retirement announcement soon. -- nm - Inigo Jul 27, 12:41
- I'll say it again...Rams fans miht suggest he retired shortly after signing the free agent deal here. -- nm - Jim Jul 27, 12:22
- Apparently, his knee injury flared up again. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 27, 12:21 2

- we talked about alot of topics during the 4 hours conversation last week, just feelings on kids and the desire to carry, or in my case no desire to -- nm - Stacy Jul 27, 12:20 14
  - How many episodes of The Stacy Show did I miss? -- nm - Spawn Jul 27, 12:23 8
    - She met a Tennesseean playing Mafia Wars. The new woman was seeing someone local AND Stacy, but vomit ended the local thing. - TWuG Jul 27, 12:28 3
      - actually she is originally from New Orleans, and has now lived in Nashville Tennessee for the past 3 years, she is an RN, and is a neuro nurse. -- nm - Stacy Jul 27, 12:35 2
        
        so she can mess with peoples head? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 27, 12:39 1
        
        my understanding is that she monitors their neuro with machines they are hooked up to and assists them, basically the same kind of nurses Amoxy had. -- nm - Stacy Jul 27, 12:45
    - she just asked me to be her girlfriend yesterday, and we promised each other to go really super slow, you haven't missed anything. -- nm - Stacy Jul 27, 12:25 3

        Sorry, didn't she choose someone local or something? - Spawn Jul 27, 12:39
  - kinda sorta related...maybe you SHOULD carry...according to my wife, it was the easiest way to quit smoking ever. :) - Jim Jul 27, 12:21 4
    - well if I don't quit smoking and I won't carry and will be smoking on the deck and pissing off that anti-smoking nazi neighbor I have :) - Stacy Jul 27, 12:24 1
      - dress, pillow and smokes :) - Danedukenuuk Jul 27, 12:26
    - just a hair more risky than Nicorette, though. :) -- nm - TFox Jul 27, 12:22 1
      - bah...just a little. :) -- nm - Jim Jul 27, 12:23
- *stern look* -- nm - b. Jul 27, 12:17 1
  - oops. -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 12:18

I think I'm having a nervous breakdown and I don't know what to do. The shaking might also be contributed to the freezing office -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 27, 12:13 29
- flu? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 27, 12:20
- You'll be ok. -- nm - Loyola Jul 27, 12:18
- taking a walk is good. -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 12:16 3
  - I also sometimes enjoy the old "I'm not feeling well, can I go home for the rest of the day?" -- nm - con_carne Jul 27, 12:17 2
    - sometimes work can offer good distraction. - b. Jul 27, 12:18
    - Yes, a "mental health day" is always a good thing. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 27, 12:17
- Shaking is likely stress not a breakdown. - TWuG Jul 27, 12:15 20
  - I don't know, my mind has been absolutely racing nonstop for the past couple of weeks. I find it hard to enjoy much of anything -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 27, 12:16 16
    - it seemed you were enjoying some things - your side-trips and such. you mentioned last week that you had been going full-stop and finally crashed. - b. Jul 27, 12:23 11
      - I've been sleeping a lot these last 2 days, my only way to stop obessing over him. Not much eating or drinking though. - Hotkiss Jul 27, 12:26 10
        
        So, I have missed The Hotkiss Show, as well. What happens to the other dudes you have been... with? -- nm - Spawn Jul 27, 12:37
        
        Do NOT let this ruin your time in NY. This is an excellent opportunity for you. -- nm - TWuG Jul 27, 12:30 1
        
        Yeah, years form now she will probably want to kick her own ass over this. -- nm - Spawn Jul 27, 12:38
        
        how much longer are you there? - b. Jul 27, 12:30 5
        
        2 more weeks but 4 more until i go home. - Hotkiss Jul 27, 12:33 4
        
        Bears can do that to a girl. -- nm - Diva Jul 27, 12:47
        
        he's not back home, is he? are you going to throw yourself on his doorstep when you get there? -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 12:35 2
        
        no he's not back home, he'll still be hundreds of miles away. -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 27, 12:35 1
        
        ok, good. -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 12:36
        
        that's normal at first. I would suggest distracting yourself. -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 12:27
    - That's stress for you. And anxiety. Perhaps a visit to your doctor is in order. - TWuG Jul 27, 12:18 1
      - agreed, high anxiety. -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 12:18
    - Take a meeting. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 27, 12:16 1

    - with foreigners! -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 27, 12:47
  - there's no such thing as a "nervous breakdown" in the clinical sense, I read. -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 12:15
- make a cup of tea. warmth, plus the ritual is soothing. -- nm - b. Jul 27, 12:15
- Go for a walk. -- nm - lileve Jul 27, 12:14
The father determines the gender of the offspring, so how would a more beautiful mother account for more girls being born? -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 12:13 4
- ask Heidi Klum -- (link) - marcel Jul 27, 12:21
- My understanding is that the sperm determines sex, but there's some mechanism within women that can favor an X over a Y successfully reaching the egg. -- nm - TWuG Jul 27, 12:16 2
  - There's also a theory that during abundant times, women will give birth to more sons, but in hard times, to more daughters -- nm - Roger More Jul 27, 12:22
  - this sounds familiar. -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 12:17
LIR nmb Bery - con_carne Jul 27, 12:13
time for lunch. mmm, lunch. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 27, 12:12 2
