Started seeing Chambliss ads again last night. -- nm - SlumDano Millionaire Nov 7, 07:53
speaking of voicemail, can we talk about outgoing messages? I have noticed a growing trend among my friends to have the auto-greeting. - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 7, 07:50 15
- i really dislike the auto reply - i always feel like i've got the wrong number. -- nm - Andie Nov 7, 08:01 1
  - exactly. what if I'm leaving a weird message for some stranger? -- nm - Max Nov 7, 08:06
- I get really tired of fumblefingers misdialing and wrong numbering my cell phone. I think I'll change it to the number so they will know they are - Amy Nov 7, 08:00

- it's default, more privacy. -- nm - colin Nov 7, 07:56

- My work VM is just me saying my name. That's it. For internal and external calls. -- nm - lileve Nov 7, 07:56
- I believe that's the default message. It means you're friends are too lazy to change it -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 7, 07:51 3
  - let me correct. by "growing trend" I mean that people are switching to this. not that I'm getting more friends who do it. -- nm - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 7, 07:53 2
    - Ah. Then I have to go with the hobbit on this one. People want less info about them out there -- nm - Mr. Havens Nov 7, 07:55
    - I think people are more paranoid as in "I don't want sales people calling knowing it's really me" -- nm - oblique Nov 7, 07:54

i love Friday. -- nm - Andie Nov 7, 07:49 2

  - excellent fish name. - Andie Nov 7, 07:59

VLIR: Amy: Doesn't sound like a waste of the power of ST positive thinking. - TaurusII Nov 7, 07:41 6
- I had all four impacted wisdom teeth removed with only local anesthetic. -- nm - lileve Nov 7, 07:44 5
  - me too and it was horrible. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 07:47

Dear random dentist. Why do you call and leave a message for Shaun when my voicemail clearly says I'm Kevin and not the person you're reminding of - oblique Nov 7, 07:37 3
- Because the person leaving the message doesn't care. If the person doesn't make the appointment after the office left the message... - Mr. Havens Nov 7, 07:50
- I had a business leave a message on our machine ("Hi! You've reached the Dalton Family") referring to us as "Flagstar Bank". -- nm - Amy Nov 7, 07:42
- *we said "spawn," not "shaun."* -- nm - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 7, 07:41
SITWAP: Local paper neglects to put presidential race results on front page. -- (link) - TaurusII Nov 7, 07:35 8
- Did we already discuss the Univ. of Texas Football team kicking a player off the squad for making anti-Obama comments on Facebook? Racist slurs? -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 7, 07:53 1
  - no, but good on them. -- nm - znufrii Nov 7, 07:57
- The comment that he's "half white half black - the first mixed president, not the first african american president" is just stupid. - Beryllium Nov 7, 07:47 3
  - and the whole recent surge of modern African immigration, as opposed to African-Americans descended from slavery, has only confused the issue further - znufrii Nov 7, 08:00
  - I think so too, because most African Americans don't know what percentage white or black they are anyway. (And a bunch of "whites" too, I imagine.) -- nm - mara Nov 7, 07:51
  - I thought Bill Clinton was the first black president - oblique Nov 7, 07:47
- w. o. w. - JaxSean Nov 7, 07:38 1

    - I have a girlfriend now. I can get fat and lazy again. - Redmond doing the Happy Friday Dance Nov 7, 07:39
- Sound about right. Warm up stretches should be about taking your muscles through their regular range of motion. Static stretches are for afterwards. -- nm - znufrii Nov 7, 07:36
- great article. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 07:33
Knott's Berry Farm Chicken Dinner Restaurant waitress retires after 51 years! -- (link) - CrankYanker Nov 7, 07:31 4

    - Cool, I'd like to see them. - Hotkiss Nov 7, 07:25
I just heard Yvonne Strahovski speak with her australian accent for the first time... - Guigue Nov 7, 07:20

LIR: Happy 21st Hotkiss. Enjoy, it goes fast. -- nm - lileve Nov 7, 07:07 6
- 10 shots in 2 hours, woke up drunk to go to my 8:30 class, slept through it, now hungoverrrr -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 7, 07:20 5
  - Why do you even have an 8:30 class on Fridays? That shit is for freshmen. -- nm - mara Nov 7, 07:55
  - Ouch! -- nm - lileve Nov 7, 07:40
  - I'm not sure you understood our "pacing" advice -- nm - oblique Nov 7, 07:30 1

    - it scares me how easy that was to guess. I didn't even have doubts. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 07:04 10
      - That's the human animal -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 7, 07:10 9
        
        but why do you think women are more likely to do it than men? I don't know, but I had a feeling it was true. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 07:16 6
        
        I didn't read it as "they are more likely than men" I read it as "they are more likely to do it while on vacation, than at home" -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 7, 07:19 5
        
        who isn't? -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 07:20 4
        
        Women prefer cheating while on vacation because the logistics are easier. At home, you have to deal with lying and subterfuge. I think men don't find - mara Nov 7, 07:49
