STIS: Is there some sort of site where you can put in an amount of money invested into a stock and track how well it would have done with in a - lileve Sep 16, 08:14 4
- "with interest and dividends..." -- nm - lileve Sep 16, 08:18
- Yahoo Finance has the information you'd need, don't know if they have any sort of app to do it for you though -- nm - znufrii Sep 16, 08:15 2
  - thanks -- nm - lileve Sep 16, 08:18 1
    - if nothing else you can go into "Historical Prices" for any stock and get the daily closing price, and any dividends that are issued. -- nm - znufrii Sep 16, 08:29
Dropped my son off at school today and he was taking his sweet time getting out of the car - amoxy Sep 16, 08:13
I just wanna say it again. Wolverine was the SUCK. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 16, 08:13 5
- Yet it was better than X-Men 3? -- nm - Spawn Sep 16, 08:16 1
  - Yeah. Not nearly as much character assassination. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 16, 08:24
- I had thought about watching it, but the reviews on ST have been brutal - amoxy Sep 16, 08:13 1
  - The sad part is there were a few parts they really nailed well. -- nm - Spawn Sep 16, 08:16
- heh - groiny Sep 16, 08:13
holy crap. - ty97 Sep 16, 07:58 10

- "I don't menstruate" - oblique Sep 16, 08:00 3
  - What are the ratings, do we know? -- nm - ty97 Sep 16, 08:03 2
    - Last week it was tied for second overall for the night and was #1 in the demos. - Ender Sep 16, 08:09 1
      - (7.31 million viewers, #T2; adults 18-49: 3.4, #1). -- nm - Ender Sep 16, 08:09
- Yeah, supposedly they are going to keep the show clean as it is skewing very young in the demographics. -- nm - Spawn Sep 16, 08:00 4
  - No way, the gays will not stand for this -- nm - MDH Sep 16, 08:07 1
    - EW had the story. - Spawn Sep 16, 08:08
  - that would be a tradegy - it works so well cause it is such a juxisposition(sp?) -- nm - Epiphany Sep 16, 08:02 1
    - I see it as an EPIC FAIL, so I don't mind if they tinker it to death. -- nm - Spawn Sep 16, 08:05
SITWAP: Stormtroopers reflect on 9/11.....(link) - Walt_Disney Sep 16, 07:57 [youtube] 1
- Very funny :) Especially the Death Star Truther at the end ... "You're all a bunch of drones!" - Beryllium Sep 16, 08:08
I had an interesting discussion last night around whether or not multiplayer video games, social media sites and the like are going to be the - oblique Sep 16, 07:56 43
- Do you realize only a small minority of families can afford XBox Live or Little League? Playing outside is free. It's impossible to replace. -- nm - con_carne Sep 16, 08:04 1
  - I mean, if you're affluent and can afford all the toys and football pads, sure. Unstructured play might go away because there's no time for it anymor - con_carne Sep 16, 08:05
- Kids are natually apt to go outside and run around with their friends, I don't think a glowing screen can suppress those instincts -- nm - Hotkiss Sep 16, 08:02 15
  - I think the high obesity rate might indicate many are sitting inside. -- nm - CovingtonCat Sep 16, 08:04 2
    - I wonder if more kids are having pickup videogame session. Johnny just shows up to Sam's house, "Hey, lets play a game of Halo." -- nm - Hotkiss Sep 16, 08:09
    - The rate is just as much due to the availability/selection of junk food. -- nm - Spawn Sep 16, 08:06
  - I think it already has. - Will Hunting Sep 16, 08:04 11
    - Part of that is more paranoid parenting too. My parents used to let me hang with my friends outside as long as I was "back by the time the streetlight - Hotkiss Sep 16, 08:07 9
      - you can thank the media for that. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 16, 08:10 8
        
        There was a Newsweek My Turn article a few years ago where the author lamented kids these days don't get to play around in the mud anymore like she - Hotkiss Sep 16, 08:13
        
        I was about to mention this below as well. -- nm - znufrii Sep 16, 08:11
        
        Agreed. "If you're thinking of sending your kids outside to play - DON'T!" -- nm - Beryllium Sep 16, 08:10 5
        
        "What popular outdoor playtime activity may be killing you kids? We'll tell you... coming up on tonight's 11 o'clock news." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 16, 08:11 1
        
        "but first, here's Bob with sports..." -- nm - znufrii Sep 16, 08:12
        
        while AMBER ALERTS are a great tool, they also scare the shit out of parents. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 16, 08:11 2
        
        Maybe the amber alerts are more prevalent in your area, but they don't happen very often around here - there have been kidnappings, though. - Beryllium Sep 16, 08:13 1
        
        I didn't know Canada had Amber Alerts. - con_carne Sep 16, 08:16
    - it was not uncommon for us to have 30 kids outside for a pickup baseball game. - groiny Sep 16, 08:06
- I guess that, as with everything in life, you have to strike a balance. - celedhring Sep 16, 08:02 2
  - What got me started on this was the realization that I'm connecting more with my neighbors now on Facebook leading to potentially more face to face - oblique Sep 16, 08:03 1
    - That is true. I met some people of this board this spring and that wouldn't have happened without this site obviously. - celedhring Sep 16, 08:07
- also, I think face to face relationships for kids are imperative to developing good social skills later. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 16, 08:00 11
  - Do you think with school + structured sports, etc. that there's plenty of that? Is viewing all video games as bad and phones as just an expense - oblique Sep 16, 08:02 10
    - human interaction and online interaction aren't the same. a friend's daughter is a computer geek (she's 14 now) - Andie Sep 16, 08:12 2
      - My brother is like that, we're separated by 3 years. He is every bit as awkward as I am outgoing. I sometime wonder if that's because the Internet - Hotkiss Sep 16, 08:15
      - Sounds like she should watch Bones. :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 16, 08:14
    - no, it is not anywhere near enough. - groiny Sep 16, 08:04 6
      - And parents seem okay to let kids inside to play on the computer/xbox and so forth. When I was young if it was nice out, my parents would almost - Will Hunting Sep 16, 08:05 5
        
        from a parenting perspective, makes it easier to keep your kids safe if they're indoors. -- nm - znufrii Sep 16, 08:07 4
        
        this is a valid point. I let my 8 year old out to play with the new neighbors - groiny Sep 16, 08:08 3
        
        As I mentioned, my situation was perfect. We kept the outer gates closed and the entry/exit point was through the house. - Spawn Sep 16, 08:11 2
        
        when I was my daughters age, I was riding my bike around the block alone. - groiny Sep 16, 08:12
        
        Yeah, we were a pretty isolated community....only about 25 houses. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 16, 08:11
- I don't think it replaces traditional play, but supplements it with a new set of social learning. -- nm - znufrii Sep 16, 07:58
- I run into an awful lot of assholes when playing Halo against random people. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 16, 07:58 2
  - I was thinking more of your typical friendship circles (and not necessarily Halo) -- nm - oblique Sep 16, 08:00 1
    - oh, the multiplayer video game comment was where I was headed. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 16, 08:01
- The 4-10 kids in my backyard every day this summer would suggest not. -- nm - Jim Sep 16, 07:57 5
  - Yeah, my one complaint of where we live is that there is not a very strong "neighborhood" feel to it. - Spawn Sep 16, 08:04 1
    - Part of the problem is that parents are too scared to let their kids run the neighborhood now. - Jim Sep 16, 08:11
  - Set them free, Jim. It's time. -- nm - con_carne Sep 16, 08:01 1
    - On believe me...they get the boot quite often. They drive me frickin insane. -- nm - Jim Sep 16, 08:09
  - buried? nm -- nm - groiny Sep 16, 07:58
Being all talk and no walk is quite possibly one of the biggest functional turn offs for me. If nothing, it's incredibly frustrating. -- nm - Hotkiss Sep 16, 07:55 1
- Why do you hate people in wheelchairs? It's not their fault, ya know! Well, sometimes it is...but not usually. -- nm - Jim Sep 16, 07:56
some good employment news out there... -- (link) - znufrii Sep 16, 07:50 3
- Come on you useful people, I need you to get the economy running so I can get a job coming May when I graduate :D -- nm - celedhring Sep 16, 07:56 2
  - I didn't know you're in school, much less graduating! Me too, let's hope we get there :) -- nm - Hotkiss Sep 16, 07:58 1
    - Hehe, I'm in grad school at the moment, didn't plan it that way but it seems I chose the best moment to remove myself from the job market... - celedhring Sep 16, 08:04
It happens three times, therefore it's a story! LAT: What's with all the public outbursts? (Kanye, Wilson & Serena) -- (link) - con_carne Sep 16, 07:50 6
- what about federer -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 16, 07:55 2
  - Did he act up? -- nm - Diva Sep 16, 08:01 1
    - Dropped an F-bomb on tv in the 3rd set when he was questioning why he couldn't ask for replay in a timely manner. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 16, 08:02
- Kanye's a tool..not sure about Wilson and Serena got jobbed at 15-30, 5-6 on the 2nd set of the US Open Semis. -- nm - Jim Sep 16, 07:51 2
  - Jobbed or not; there's gotta be a better way than to flip out as she did. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 16, 08:01 1
    - Of course not. I'm just saying...she shouldn't shove the tennis ball down that little Asian woman's throat...but I understand! -- nm - Jim Sep 16, 08:08
Why all of a sudden I seem to only get ads for a dozen different Mafia games in Facebook... - celedhring Sep 16, 07:48 1

i love that Baucus's "bipartisan" bill is DOA - farmer ted Sep 16, 07:43 4
- its only doa because the republicans think that keeping health care reform from passing will help them win the Congress back - tRuMaN Sep 16, 07:53 3
  - which, ironically, is now making it much more likely that the Dems will just pass stronger reforms using reconciliation -- nm - farmer ted Sep 16, 08:00 1
    - This is what I want. An honest effort at bipartisan support and then just cram the fucking bill down the GOP's throat if they stand in the way. - TWuG Sep 16, 08:06
  - It very well could help them win. -- nm - TWuG Sep 16, 07:58
Glee is on tonight? Was there a new episode last week, or just the pilot again? - ty97 Sep 16, 07:41 14

    - Serious review inside...(no spoilers) - Jim Sep 16, 07:50 2

        But the coach... - Jim Sep 16, 08:13
    - don't listen to him - it was great but not up to the pilot's level -- nm - Epiphany Sep 16, 07:47

fight looming over homebuyer's tax credit -- (link) - znufrii Sep 16, 07:28 2
- I'm fine with seeing incentives to buy go away. Home ownership is a great thing, but it's not something everyone can or should do. - TWuG Sep 16, 07:45
- I always want to read this as "homeboys' tax credit" -- nm - Reagen Sep 16, 07:31
