- Well, no way Shanahan is going to Buffalo but by announcing he spoke with them he is lettin gthe community know he is ready to come back. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 09:25
Office fridge notes -- (link) - zork Nov 19, 09:16 2
- Nice - someone wrote a note to say they found something lost on the stairs and someone replied they had lost their virginity on them. -- nm - LMS Nov 19, 09:26 1
  - someone? ;-) -- nm - zork Nov 19, 09:28

[deleted] 58
- i haven't even read the article, but i get not wanting anyone waiting in the waiting room. - Elf Andie Nov 19, 09:41
- I loved the rest of the article. There certainly are some crazies out there :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 19, 09:26
- Well, we put out the word that the hospital was off limits to all family until we gave the all clear the day after. - Spawn Nov 19, 09:22
- Crazy MIL, who wants to leave a set dinner table like that? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Nov 19, 09:22
- nothing to do with labour. they're battling for the son/husband's love! -- nm - kraken Nov 19, 09:19
- Just answering your first question - psilotum Nov 19, 09:17
- MIL is clearly a dragon lady. I wouldn't want her anywhere near me. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:16 5
  - and now that i read the link, holy shit, that too. -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 09:17 4
    - I would have thrown the gravy boat at her. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:18 3
      - or leave the table, without a word -- nm - Danedukenuuk Nov 19, 09:29
      - I would really hope that she had a drum set. -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 09:19 1
        
        *crying* -- nm - Drum set si Nov 19, 09:23
- Sounds like she doesn't want anyone there - maybe she just wants it to be about her and her husband and the baby? -- nm - Roger More Nov 19, 09:16 44
  - [deleted] 43
    - The inconvenience is what TFox points out - that it's not just the waiting room, but everyone barging in right after the baby is born while her feet - Roger More Nov 19, 09:25
    - completely disagree. it's a private thing and if she doesn't want anyone there, there's nothing mean about it. - loosilu Nov 19, 09:21
    - it's definitely an inconvenience if the son has to go out every hour and tell everyone how big her vagina is. -- nm - kraken Nov 19, 09:21 39
      - He doesn't, though. They ask them not to come, they tell them they don't plan on providing updates, if they come anyway, big deal. If they don't like - mara Nov 19, 09:23 31
        
        [deleted] 24
        
        Even if that is the reason, it doesn't matter. It's not the MIL's call. (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 09:31 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Why? Almost *any* reason is valid, therefore calling it selfish is an unneccessary judgement on the mom. (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 09:34
        
        I wouldn't be too sure. my friend's mom (the one who tells her she ruins christmas every year) makes that kind of demand all the time. -- nm - kraken Nov 19, 09:29 2
        
        This kind of stuff is page 1 out of my mom's playbook. -- nm - Diva Nov 19, 09:32 1
        
        mine too. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:32
        
        I take it you do not know anyone like the MIL in this story? - kelly Nov 19, 09:26 6
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        also, this woman is *not* acting like family. she is not treating this woman like her daughter, so why must she be afforded mom respect? -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 09:32
        
        I... would say kelly might be in as close to this exact situation as anyone on this board. -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 09:30 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        (I was waiting for you to weigh in. :) ) -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 09:28 1
        
        I've been waiting for the right time. :) - kelly Nov 19, 09:30
        
        see, if it is my wife and she says she doesn't want people there, people better not freakin' show up or face my wraith -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 09:25 7
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        Selfish is demand to be there. The physical act of birth is stressful enough, if mom doesn't want anything else that would stress her, regardless of - musubi Nov 19, 09:32 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        but first you'd have to summon him from the ethereal plane. I imagine that takes some time. -- nm - kraken Nov 19, 09:27 1
        
        Shaun beat you by minutes...you suck -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 09:28
        
        You're a necromancer? Summon your wraith now! -- nm - Shaun Nov 19, 09:26
        
        Reagan is laughing at you right now, for intervening. Your wife should defend herself, obviously. -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 09:26
        
        I think you have little experience with crazy overbearing mothers. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:25 2
        
        i agree with this. it doesn't sound exaggerated to me at all. -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 09:25 1
        
        completely not exaggerated. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:26
        
        you think that MIL would just let it go? -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:24 5
        
        I'm just saying he doesn't have to. Having them in the waiting room is not an inconvenience to him, because he's not obligated to give updates. -- nm - mara Nov 19, 09:26 1
        
        see TFox's post about his stepmother. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:27
        
        my stepmother lied to nurses once to go back and see SheFox in the hospital once, before I even got there. People are fucking insane. - TFox Nov 19, 09:25 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I would posit that it is very very difficult for a woman to be selfish about pushing a new human out of her vagina, except in extreme circumstances. - TFox Nov 19, 09:27
      - [deleted] 5
        
        Wrong. It's the mom's birth, it's her call *NOT* the MIL who gets to be there. Flat out the MIL out of line. - musubi Nov 19, 09:30
        
        but then it's not nearly as stressful for the people in the waiting room. there's not much chance they'll die during the process. - kraken Nov 19, 09:25 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        your wife comes before your mother, in my world. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:23
        
        maybe this is just a Mexican thing, because there are literally people everywhere, inescapable, and privacy is a magical myth? -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 09:22
      - yeah, that part is where it goes to plaid. "be right back, babe; i need to go report to my mommy or she'll get cross." -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 09:21
    - the little or no cost to you part is highly questionable. some people are bugfuck crazy. - TFox Nov 19, 09:20
- I get that. If they're in the waiting room, they are likely going to start trying to barge in as soon as the baby is born. - TFox Nov 19, 09:15

According to EW, if you are watching Flash Forward then you want to make sure you see tonight's ep. -- (link) - HdnAgnda Nov 19, 09:08 4
- When I think of John Cho, I don't think "Star Trek"... -- nm - Elybow Nov 19, 09:12
- Because, of course, if you're watching a show like Flash Forward, you may just randomly skip episodes. - Jim Nov 19, 09:10 2
  - word -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 09:12
  - Jim is dumB. -- nm - EW Nov 19, 09:10
Rare stamps from canada going up for auction -- (link) - Beaker Nov 19, 09:08 8
- Canada has their own stamps? Do you have a postal service too? -- nm - decline Nov 19, 09:10 7
  - [deleted]
  - Yes it does. It's even profitable. -- nm - Roger More Nov 19, 09:13
  - they used to theese are old stamps -- nm - Danedukenuuk Nov 19, 09:11 1
    - Ah, that makes more sense. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 09:12
  - Ponies. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 09:10 2
    - Beavers actually with Geese for the islands. -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 09:12 1
      - Canadian Geese, obvie. -- nm - Shaun Nov 19, 09:17
Russia enshrines ban on death penalty -- (link) - Danedukenuuk Nov 19, 09:08
Mop, I agree. Russell will force the producers to change it up. Everyone will be looking for idols now. I think... - Jim Nov 19, 09:02 8
- I'm actually less interested in tonight's episode based on the previews. Survivor has turned into an Easter Egg Hunt. - Dano Nov 19, 09:19 1
  - I agree with Dano. Idols that leave the game unused could be hidden. Others should not be brought back into play - oblique Nov 19, 09:22
- and then the final 2 fight to the death. -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 09:03 5
  - Survivordome -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 19, 09:08 4
    - Russell would probably be up for it.... -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 09:09 3
      - The rest would probably be up for killing Russell - Roger More Nov 19, 09:10 2
        
        I'd still bet on him :) -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 09:13 1
        
        Willpower + low centre of gravity + dirty fighter = I agree -- nm - Roger More Nov 19, 09:14
DMThanksgiving: I'm thinking, in addition my usual famous potatoes, I should try and take another crack at making cornbread for the potluck... - znufrii Nov 19, 09:02 3
- We have followed the recipe on the Quaker brand cornmeal to great success -- nm - SyrDragon Nov 19, 09:07
- cornbread is easy. go for it. -- nm - decline Nov 19, 09:03 1
  - I've gotten mixed results the two times I've tried it - znufrii Nov 19, 09:08
I don't like (most) stuffing, either. -- nm - kelly Nov 19, 09:02 23
- Poor Will. - Shaun Nov 19, 09:20
- Stuffed peppers are't much without the stuffing - Danedukenuuk Nov 19, 09:09 1
  - hence, "most". -- nm - kelly Nov 19, 09:11
- I think stuffing can be very particular to the eater. I *heart* mine but I barely tolerate the kind other people make. -- nm - Diva Nov 19, 09:03 7
  - This is exactly how I feel and the reason I make the stuffing. :-) -- nm - Krusty Nov 19, 09:13 6
    - me too - 'lia Nov 19, 09:16 5
      - I like to do a cornbread sausage stuffing which I think is friggin awesome. But not everyone else thinks so. -- nm - Diva Nov 19, 09:21 4
        
        you and i (am mel) could stay in the kitchen drinking the really good wine cooking for our families - 'lia Nov 19, 09:33 1
        
        *likes this* : ) -- nm - Diva Nov 19, 09:41
        
        I do a simple bacon stuffing using italian bread, easy peasy and tastes so good. -- nm - Krusty Nov 19, 09:30 1
        
        and funghi? - 'lia Nov 19, 09:36
- (even stuffies?) - TFox Nov 19, 09:03 10
  - just googled it. quahogs? I'll pass. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:05
  - I have never had a stuffie. They look gross. -- nm - kelly Nov 19, 09:04 8
    - this does not look gross. -- (link) - TFox Nov 19, 09:06 [Image] 7
      - am not a fan of mollusks. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:07 6
        
        *cries* -- nm - kraken Nov 19, 09:08
        
        it's really just the shell, and the stuffing is (usually) made with the quahog meat. -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 09:08 4
        
        I know. that means you have to eat the quahog. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:10 3
        
        wuss-hole. -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 09:12

  - wish I'd had mine out. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:11
  - Nice. The tubes are usually outpatient. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 09:10

    - Please get this letter to the partner's secretary so he can sign it. - Roger More Nov 19, 09:20
    - "print this and give it to partner secretary for signature" vs "email this to partner secretary for signature" - oblique Nov 19, 09:18
The last 2 epis of Supernatural have been A+ TV. -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 08:59 12
- Hell yes. unfortunately the ratings do not reflect the quality of the episodes -- nm - Epiphany Nov 19, 09:04 7
  - if this is the last season, it's just as well. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:06 2
    - I am surprisingly okay with this being the last season - no need to make it suck to get it cancelled. end on a high note. -- nm - Epiphany Nov 19, 09:11 1
      - yes please. let's not go XFiles. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:12
  - forget it Pippy, it's the CW :) -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 09:05 3
    - those fools are resurrecting the Beautiful Life - so they will likely keep SN around a long time - their promotion sucks though -- nm - Epiphany Nov 19, 09:12 2
      - they seem satisfied that it's a cult show. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:13 1
        
        I can't even imagine what the J's are going to ask for in their next contract negotiation. - Epiphany Nov 19, 09:19
- Hero's are getting better again here (were probably approx a season behind the US) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Nov 19, 09:00 2
  - if you're a season behind, trust me, it is not getting better. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:01 1
    - i've always liked it although it's pritty comples at times -- nm - Danedukenuuk Nov 19, 09:03
