      - No, because they have to pay whatever you say to get the power back on. -- nm - David Aug 19, 12:46 1
        
        The power company is just waiting for their bribe to go through, it'll all be fine when they get their swag. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 19, 12:47

    - Scientific American says: It's random. -- (link) - loosilu Aug 19, 12:33 2
      - That's not what I read in that article. (nm) - musubi Aug 19, 12:38 1
        
        ahhhh. they don't actually address any tornado-repelling properties. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 12:40

- I see a broad comparison between Carter and Obama. - Fuzzy Aug 19, 12:41 3
  - [deleted] 1
    - and both followed times of little to no trust in the presidency -- nm - zork Aug 19, 12:51
  - Carter was a notorious micro-manager who got ate alive by DC. - Will Hunting Aug 19, 12:43
- I'm starting to wonder...what would it do to Obama if he were to come out and say... - Jim Aug 19, 12:29 16
  - IMO, I think we would do well to simply remind America that Medicare and Medicaid are already two big government healthcare programs -- nm - con_carne Aug 19, 12:51 1
    - "Keep your government hands off my Medicare!" -- nm - znufrii Aug 19, 12:52
  - that mish-mash would be understood by less people than ones who understand cubism - zork Aug 19, 12:44
  - The only problem is if you get the experts to come in and they give the "best" system, you don't know if it's politically valid. - Will Hunting Aug 19, 12:35 4
    - "After studying the issue in depth, we've decided that the best reform for health care is to kill off all the sick people." -- nm - President's Commission on Health Care Reform Aug 19, 12:40 3
      - If we'd just kill off the surplus population we'd be all set. -- nm - BB Aug 19, 12:44
      - *slyly places the report in the bottom desk drawer and nudges it closed with a shoe* - US Leaders Aug 19, 12:41 1

  - Sure, if you want absolutely nothing to get accomplished. - znufrii Aug 19, 12:33
  - [deleted] 3
    - true -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 19, 12:33 2

boston.com Love Letter - Woman doesn't know if she can forgive bf who has been emotionally cheating on her for more than half of their relationship. - Diva Aug 19, 12:20 49
- I think he's lying but maybe wants to start fresh and do right - she seems to want to forgive him - Epiphany Aug 19, 12:59
- I might get skewered for this, *but*: I believe this guy could be telling the truth, and worth keeping around. - TFox Aug 19, 12:45 2
  - what would you tell her if she was your sister? -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 12:49 1
    - that. -- nm - TFox Aug 19, 12:55
- He's totally lying. -- nm - ty97 Aug 19, 12:36 2
  - Yep. Born liar. -- nm - Loyola Aug 19, 12:36 1
    - Addicts lie (if he is, indeed, and addict as he claims) -- nm - ty97 Aug 19, 12:37
- the fact that it's called "casual encounters" seems to imply 'encountering" -- nm - Andie Aug 19, 12:34
- Emotional cheating is such a silly concept to me. -- nm - David Aug 19, 12:28 27
  - What's up with that? They don't give out Nobel prizes for "Emotional Physics". -- nm - Ender Aug 19, 13:01
  - Dude, Oprah has been doing shows about it since I was in college -- nm - con_carne Aug 19, 12:42 2
    - And you've watched every one, right! -- nm - David Aug 19, 12:42 1
      - I like me some Oprah, most of the time. I heart her. -- nm - con_carne Aug 19, 12:43
  - I think it's becoming some new buzzword and is already being overused. - ty97 Aug 19, 12:37 17
    - I'd buy that. I'm sure there are instances but most of the time, that term reflects personal insecurity about a relationship. - David Aug 19, 12:38 1
      - *concurs* -- nm - ty97 Aug 19, 12:44
    - Whenever I see the term "emotionally cheating" I think of other phrases like "staycation" and "cheer sex". -- nm - Diva Aug 19, 12:38 5
      - Cheer sex? *goes to google what that means* -- nm - David Aug 19, 12:39 4
        
        check out "Bring It On". -- nm - Diva Aug 19, 12:39 3
        
        Coincidentally, that was one of the first results. It's...not what I would have thought. -- nm - David Aug 19, 12:41 1
        
        Doh! - Will Hunting Aug 19, 12:42
        
        I was suitably surprised they snuck that into a PG-13 movie. - Will Hunting Aug 19, 12:40
    - I don't think it's limited or extreme at all. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 12:37 8
      - Typical example. Married guy is friended by an ex on FB. They start emailing. It starts getting more than friendly, althugh they never have sex. - loosilu Aug 19, 12:38 7
        
        Define "more than friendly" - ty97 Aug 19, 12:44 3
        
        SIgh. Ok, I did this once. I had an ex, who was married, and we got very close in email. We were not having sex or meeting. - loosilu Aug 19, 12:48 2
        
        on the flip side, just because it's bad for his relationship doesn't mean it's cheating. - znufrii Aug 19, 13:01 1
        
        now *that's* silly. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 13:04
        
        If by more than friendly, you mean talking dirty to one another, that's not emotional sex. It's an actual kind of sex. -- nm - David Aug 19, 12:42 2
        
        no, I mean emotional involvement. happens all the time. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 12:43 1
        
        If they're talking dirty for masturbatory purposes, that's physical involvement. -- nm - David Aug 19, 12:44
  - spoken like a true emotional slut. -- nm - Max Aug 19, 12:29 2
    - I'm constantly emotionally presenting. -- nm - David Aug 19, 12:33 1
      - Try not to stroke any egos on the way to the parking lot! -- nm - Max Aug 19, 12:38
  - Word. -- nm - znufrii Aug 19, 12:28
  - silly how? it's certainly real IMO. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 12:28
- Tough one. - musubi Aug 19, 12:26
- [deleted] 6
  - Besides, sometimes those therapists are hot! -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 12:29 1
    - That's the spirit! -- nm - BB Aug 19, 12:50
  - yeah, I didn't see that until the second reading. that's a sign of good faith. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 12:27 3
    - That's key to me. If he just blew it off, or didn't seem to be making an effort, it's absolutely a dealbreaker. - musubi Aug 19, 12:29 2
      - trust will be the hard part. She can't and shouldn't trust him now. He has to earn it. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 12:30 1
        
        Like ML said, trust, but verify. - musubi Aug 19, 12:32

  - until the sequel -- nm - zork Aug 19, 12:47
- I fear it may become the new *splurt*. -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 12:28
- To yesterday? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 19, 12:25
- are you sure it isnt a flashforward? -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 19, 12:17
