"Kate Gosselin ditches trademark hairdo" - Yahoo Home Page Sep 15, 16:30 2
- I know, can you believe it? I mean, a "wave"? What was she thinking?! She needs to grow it out. -- nm - Mop (232 lbs) Sep 15, 16:32
- I don't blame her. It took forever to make her hair look like a circle with TM in the middle. -- nm - pmb Sep 15, 16:32
so the grouo that filmed the acorn videos had his people turned away from other acorn offices, and the - truman mobile Sep 15, 16:24 8

    - conservative activists biased against Acorn? impossible! -- nm - znufrii Sep 15, 16:30
Yo, honestly, I can be a patient person. But listening through the walls to my landlord's mildly retarded son and his own daughter argue... - TFox Sep 15, 16:22 12
- You should report your loud neighbors to the landlord. - TWuG Sep 15, 16:33 2
  - The thing is, my landlord? Great guy. Really is. As selfless as they come. But the rest of his family? - TFox Sep 15, 16:34
  - *laughing* -- nm - CQ Sep 15, 16:34
- It's like a logic puzzle. "Who is the son's father?" -- nm - Mop (232 lbs) Sep 15, 16:33
- The scary thing is I understood all that and find it all quite disturbing. - Mop (232 lbs) Sep 15, 16:31 1
  - "Drug Whore" would be closer, but yeah, you have the gist. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 16:33
- this is hillarious. I can't figure out who's who, I just know TFox is pissed, heh -- nm - CQ Sep 15, 16:29 4
  - Three generations in the house. Granddad is the landlord. His son has some mental issues, but not enough to excuse his full idiocy. - TFox Sep 15, 16:33 1
    - get it, got it, that sucks ass -- nm - CQ Sep 15, 16:34
  - there are three people in the house: grandpa (tfox's landlord), dad, and daughter. Dad is very immature (perhaps neurologically). And all are annoying -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 16:30 1
    - yeah, see, I didn't get that. I thought there was a brother and a sister and a deadbeat dad and some old dude. -- nm - CQ Sep 15, 16:33

Health insurance premiums rose modestly in 2009, predicted to increase to $30,000 for family of 4 by 2019. - CovingtonCat Sep 15, 15:58 5
- our company's plan renews in October. individual premium rates rose 13%, family rates rose 21% -- nm - Max Sep 15, 16:03 1
  - (family coverage premium is $16,068 per year) -- nm - Max Sep 15, 16:04
- But, hey, we've got the best health system in the world! - the liioulu with oreos Sep 15, 16:02 2
  - No. We have some of the best health care, but one of the worst delivery systems. -- nm - TWuG Sep 15, 16:09 1

Hmm, victoria's newest E.R. has House-style doors on the rooms ... and a special toilet for morbidly obese patients. -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 15, 15:58 12
- only 43,000 patient visits per year? - dogbert183 Sep 15, 16:02 6
  - It's a big island with small towns and one city. - the liioulu with oreos Sep 15, 16:06 5
    - the estimated population of vancouver island is about 740,000 -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 16:07 4
      - (Which is, what, 1/15th that of Los Angeles? :)) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 16:12 3
        
        But more than Seattle (582,174). -- nm - the liioulu with oreos Sep 15, 16:20 2
        
        but the surface area is 32,000 square kilometers, so ... the scale and density is a bit different :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 16:21 1
        
        I said it was a big island. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with oreos Sep 15, 16:30
- (The colour coordinated baby drawers don't make a lot of sense to me - maybe it just takes a bit to learn :)) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 16:00 4
  - they're actually great. peds meds and supplies are based on height (which gives a great approximate weight) you measure the kid with a broselow tape, - dogbert183 Sep 15, 16:05 3
    - I also found the labels on the drawers amusing ... but I guess they are not redundant to the colourblind. Why they aren't also labelled with weight is - Beryllium Sep 15, 16:06 2
      - most of them are, but that is a pediatric crash cart and the tape will be better at estimating weight better than just guessing during a crisis -- (link) - dogbert183 Sep 15, 16:10 1
        
        ah, I see. Thanks :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 16:11
i am sorta serious with this question. for those that would vote to ban gay marriage. would you also vote to ban divorce - tRuMaN Sep 15, 15:57 13
- heck they'd vote to reinstate slavery, its in the gosh durn bible you know -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 15, 16:26
- I think it should be more difficult to get married. At least I had to take a test for my drivers license. -- nm - CQ Sep 15, 16:06
- I'd like to make it *harder* to get a divorce... - Dr.Vermin Sep 15, 16:01 9
  - Why would you want this? To preserve the "sanctity of marriage" as some say? -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 16:22 1
    - To make more people take it a little more seriously. - Dr.Vermin Sep 15, 16:40
  - yeah, we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one. -- nm - znufrii Sep 15, 16:19
  - I understand the sentiment, but it really doesn't make sense. - pmb Sep 15, 16:08 5
    - I'm looking for couples to put a little more thought into it *before* tying the knot, rather than looking to make people unhappier longer. - Dr.Vermin Sep 15, 16:18 3
      - I doubt a lot of people purposefully go into marriage thinking this isn't going to work out. - pmb Sep 15, 16:31
      - I do think that it should be harder to get married. - the liioulu with oreos Sep 15, 16:21 1
        
        heck you can make people take all the time in the world - znufrii Sep 15, 16:24
    - i agree and it can be worse for the kids to see those two unhappy people forced to stay together than to see them split. -- nm - Guy Sep 15, 16:17
- i would vote to ban marriage to protect marriage -- nm - Guy Sep 15, 15:58

I'vegot a friend who managed to turn off her Wifi on her HP. Can someone help me help her turn it back on? -- nm - the liioulu with oreos Sep 15, 15:34 14

- Step One: Reboot. Step Two: Push the little antenae button. Step Three: Jiggle the Cables. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 15, 15:48
- Okat, finally figured it out. Was looking for an actual button and it isn't. It's just a tiny touch screen dealy. - the liioulu with oreos Sep 15, 15:48
- Windows, I hope? Here you go. - Mop (232 lbs) Sep 15, 15:40 3
  - It's a laptop. I can't figure out which button is the right one. - the liioulu with oreos Sep 15, 15:42 2
    - If you press the button and it turns off... that's the wrong one. What's the brand? On the underside, can you make out the model? -- nm - Mop (232 lbs) Sep 15, 15:45 1
      - Got it. Thank you. -- nm - the liioulu with oreos Sep 15, 15:48
- Laptop or desktop? - Stephen Sep 15, 15:36 6
  - Laptop -- nm - the liioulu with oreos Sep 15, 15:38 5
    - And what does it look like, don't want to blindly hit switches. -- nm - the liioulu with oreos Sep 15, 15:39 4
      - It depends on the laptop. My HP laptop has the wifi button centered just above the keyboard (with the wifi signal marking on it). -- nm - Stephen Sep 15, 15:45 3
        
        Something like this (linky) -- (link) - Stephen Sep 15, 15:47 [Image] 1
        
        Thanks for your help. - the liioulu with oreos Sep 15, 15:49
        
        My HP has it on the front underside, opposite the off switch. Not very intuitive. -- nm - Mop (232 lbs) Sep 15, 15:46

  - But then they do have a different set of protocols. - the liioulu with oreos Sep 15, 15:24
  - well, dunno about parliament, but the BC Legislature explicitly prohibits using the word "Liar", from what I can tell. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 15:23 2
    - I'm not sure the US congress has a set set of rules, but protocols don't allow outbursts, booing, but hissing, stomping and applause are. -- nm - the liioulu with oreos Sep 15, 15:26 1
      - That but was supposed to go before booing. *sigh* -- nm - the liioulu with oreos Sep 15, 15:28
