  - You should be happy...her stuff fills up your boards nicely... -- nm - BAD Aug 14, 09:18 5
    - I don't think Bery gets paid per post. -- nm - ty97 Aug 14, 09:38
    - I've given that a bit of thought ... and it's interesting, and sometimes entertaining, but all too often threads like that degenerate into something - Beryllium Aug 14, 09:23 3
      - Three things will happen. The person will change. The person will continue to do the same thing and not be affected by others criticism. - Redmond Aug 14, 09:27 2

        For a second I thought this was in response to mashed potatoes. Oops. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 09:28
this is kind of cool - guy makes art from dirty car windows... -- (link) - Guy Aug 14, 09:13
Rx question: I have T3 and an antibiotic ... I was told to take the antibiotic one hour apart from the T3. - Beryllium Aug 14, 09:12 10
- what happened? (i missed it) -- nm - Guy Aug 14, 09:28 3
  - wisdom tooth removal. (I've been milking the sympathy for over a week! The surgery was only yesterday, though.) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 09:28 2
    - ah, feel better - Guy Aug 14, 09:32 1
      - meh, the drugs aren't helping as much as I thought - but I was able to get virtually a full night's sleep last night, which surprises me -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 09:36
- "Do not take on an empty stomach" does not necessarily mean "eat at the same time as consuming this pill". It just means eat around the same time. - Mop (234 lbs) Aug 14, 09:15
- You should eat something before taking the antibiotics, some people feel sick after taking it on an empty stomach. -- nm - Krusty Aug 14, 09:14 4
  - I know eating is difficult, you could try Jell-O, pudding, mashed potatoes or something else that requires no chewing. -- nm - Krusty Aug 14, 09:16 3
    - That's what I forgot to buy. Instant mashed potatoes. Thanks for the reminder :) I'll grab some when I get advil in a bit. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 09:26 2
      - this would be a good time for homemade split pea soup -- nm - 'lia Aug 14, 09:32
      - Meatballs and mac-n-cheese are easy to eat also. I hope you feel better, I know your pain. -- nm - Krusty Aug 14, 09:31
Okay, for a new topic: beggars. There's a guy who sits on the same bench on the same intersection all the time, yelling "Spare a little change?" - Beryllium Aug 14, 09:09 46
- [deleted] 17
  - for me it's just a matter of having high standards for performers... -- nm - znufrii Aug 14, 09:28 16
    - Most don't bother me, the one's that do are the "bands" that get on the train and play so loud I can't read my book anymore. - Krusty Aug 14, 09:30 15
      - I don't think they should be allowed to play on the cars, period. - Spawn Aug 14, 09:32 9

        all I'm saying, if you're going to ceaseless mock me, I'm going to at least make sure it's accurate. -- nm - znufrii Aug 14, 09:47
        
        who's going to stop them, exactly? -- nm - znufrii Aug 14, 09:35 1
        
        society - Spawn Aug 14, 09:38
        
        They're not allowed to beg or play on the trains but rarely is there a cop to stop them. I've never seen one get stopped by a cop. - Krusty Aug 14, 09:35
      - I'm more likely to support a performer who's playing at a station rather than going from car to car. -- nm - znufrii Aug 14, 09:31 4
        
        The station guys are usually good and I'll drop my change for them. The car people get nothing! -- nm - Krusty Aug 14, 09:32 3
        
        We don't have a subway here, but I understand this concept completely. I concur. - Beryllium Aug 14, 09:35 2
        
        here you have to audition to do this and get a photo ID that proves you have been approved; and there are no performances on the trains - zork Aug 14, 09:38 1
        
        I hate that too! People need to buy better headphones. I don't care what song you're listening too, I just want to read my book in peace! - Krusty Aug 14, 09:50
- There's the same guy every morning at the corner of the block here - MDH Aug 14, 09:16
- pretty much the only guy I'll give change to is this guy -- (link) - znufrii Aug 14, 09:14
- There was a comedian on the radio yesterday with a comment on beggars. - TWuG Aug 14, 09:13 22
  - ill give anyone a quarter. i dont get being so attached to spare change -- nm - Guy Aug 14, 09:15 21
    - To me it's the point and not the money. - Redmond Aug 14, 09:17
    - 90% of the time, I have no cash money on me - no change, no bills. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 09:16 19
      - I have cash, but no change. - Spawn Aug 14, 09:23
      - yeah, and it does piss me off when i dont have any money, but a beggar will harass me about it - Guy Aug 14, 09:19 2
        
        I think I did have someone make a comment about my clothes or something and how that meant I should have some change - Beryllium Aug 14, 09:21 1
        
        that said, i try not to let that influence me overall opinion of beggars. one asshole does not make them all assholes. - Guy Aug 14, 09:23
      - Me either. And I resent the guilt trip the beggars try to take you on. Enough people are "professional beggars" with nice - TWuG Aug 14, 09:18
      - this is going to be interesting, as we progress to a more and more cashless society... -- nm - znufrii Aug 14, 09:16 13
        
        I think it'll result in being choosing to be kind by buying food for other people who appear to be in need. - Beryllium Aug 14, 09:20 9
        
        you could always just pick up a little extra of something when you shop for yourself - Guy Aug 14, 09:22 1
        
        I know (and regarding your IM, I know ... I've considered it. :)) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 09:25
        
        I tried that once... - znufrii Aug 14, 09:21 5
        
        I remember you saying that a few months ago ... some other people posted with some heartwarming stories on the subject. - Beryllium Aug 14, 09:24 4
        
        not trying to be jiminy cricket here, but ideally, any sort of charity is done without regard to the response it gets - Guy Aug 14, 09:27 3
        
        I'm aware of that. I dunno, I think part of it is that I'm just in a very selfish state of mind in my life right now. - Beryllium Aug 14, 09:33 2
        
        im really not trying to guilt trip you, dude. :) -- nm - Guy Aug 14, 09:40 1
        
        I'm guilt-tripping myself, ya nut. :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 09:47
        
        that first "being" should be "people" (or "human beings", I guess that might have been my train of thought) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 09:20
        
        Oh I am sure beggars will buy credit card swipes. -- nm - Redmond Aug 14, 09:18 2
        
        "Hey! Give the homeless guy access to your credit card info!" - TWuG Aug 14, 09:20 1
        
        I bet there are some STers that would fall for it. -- nm - Redmond Aug 14, 09:21
- my store downtown is loaded with shakers outside. -- nm - Remlik Aug 14, 09:12 1
  - video of him -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 14, 09:15 [youtube]
- Couldn't you just call the cops? They're always looking for an excuse to test their tazers. -- nm - Mop Chrome (234 lbs) Aug 14, 09:11
Annoying: Realizing that complaining about something is creating exactly more of what you're complaining about. -- nm - znufrii Aug 14, 09:09 2
- Luckily, you posted this. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 14, 09:09 1
  - I had to post *something* :) -- nm - znufrii Aug 14, 09:10
loosi, i think it's less of the latter than you believe but may seem that way because of the exasperation in the voices. -- nm - zork Aug 14, 09:07 1
- I don't keep statistics. maybe so. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 09:07
Boy, I'm so glad I was asleep during that Stacy thing last night. - Will Hunting Aug 14, 09:05 14

  - ST just does not seem to understand this thing called "online dating". -- nm - Spawn Aug 14, 09:14
  - I wouldn't say that this is a fight, just a dissection of a discussion that happened last night. - Beryllium Aug 14, 09:14

    - if I hump any less, I'll be unhumping -- nm - ty97 Aug 14, 09:13

JackDawson: I know I was just joking about how I shouldn't jump on gramamr jokes, but did you seriously just say "absolut truth"? :D -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 09:05 2
