- Yeah, creepy. You know what else works? Heated mattress pads. -- nm - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 19, 13:01
- Isn't that completely counterintuitive? Their own argument is that sleep is brought on by the body temperature dropping. So getting into a warm bed - pmb Jan 19, 12:52 4
  - I think it's that a cold bed makes it take longer for the heat to disperse from your body. - b. Jan 19, 12:58 3
    - not unless every Heat Transfer course I took was wildly wrong. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 13:09

      - Oh ok. yggm. -- nm - lileve Jan 19, 12:53
loosi, I agree. In chinese, you can say horse or mom or maternal grandma depending on the pitch of the same syllable -- nm - SyrDragon Jan 19, 12:38 8
- Curious: Is it Mandarin or Cantonese that you speak? -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 12:45
- but, i didn't think 'chinese' as a language existed - there's mandarin, cantonese, dialects, classes, etc - Andie Jan 19, 12:41 3
  - it's cool how they share the same written characters, sort of like how a stop sign means the same thing but English people know it as "stop" and Frenc - zork Jan 19, 12:49
  - they sound similar. Cantonese is my native tongue but I have learn to understand and speak Mandarin at an elemenray level - SyrDragon Jan 19, 12:44
  - he's probably simplifying for the guelos -- nm - Roger More Jan 19, 12:42
- I don't know how many tones there are, but a Chinese friend demonstrated them to me, and I could only differentiate 3 or 4. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 12:40 1
  - Though it is all contextual, obvie....you can tell what one is talking about in general -- nm - SyrDragon Jan 19, 12:45
- That's funny, because in most languages "horse mom" actually means "mother-in-law". The Chinese are funny. -- nm - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 19, 12:39
So, are you a "Reacher" or a "Settler"? (definitions enclosed) I'm an uber-reacher. - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 19, 12:36 12
- My last one was definitely a reach -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 12:48
- none of the above. -- nm - znufrii Jan 19, 12:42
- Reacher. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 12:41 5
  - Honestly, who dates you and thinks they're settling? Do you date near mental hospitals? -- nm - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 19, 12:44 4
    - I'm not sure what this means, but I think I should be insulted. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 12:46 3
      - I think it was a compliment. -- nm - b. Jan 19, 12:47 2
        
        Unless she actually intentionally seeks out mental patients, yup, it was intended as a compliment. -- nm - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 19, 12:49 1
        
        I need more time to work out the syntax, but I'll take your word for it. :) - loosilu Jan 19, 12:51

- No matter how much it sucked, I'm still jealous that you went. -- nm - TFox Jan 19, 12:38 11
  - I would have paid 10 times to leave what I paided to go... - Mel Profit Jan 19, 12:41
  - I could not have been less interested in going. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 12:39 9
    - it's what solidified by hatred of camping. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 19, 12:43 7
      - heh. my hatred of camping is one main reason I was not interested. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 12:44 6
        
        This is why you take lots and lots of drugs -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 12:53 1

        well that and you don't like good music. - Remlik Jan 19, 12:46 3
        
        I like Rush. - loosilu Jan 19, 12:47 2
        
        ok fair enough. -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 12:52 1
        
        you're getting soft in your old age. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 12:54
    - I was too young. I was obsessed with that 2 CD set when I was in high school. -- nm - TFox Jan 19, 12:41
- was that Rapestock? or was that the 3rd one? -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 12:37 2
  - I didn't know there was a third one. I completely assumed the disastrous second one put the kibosh on the whole franchise. -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 12:58
  - That was the 3rd one. -- nm - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 19, 12:37
World leaders have the best healthcare -- nm - Roger More Jan 19, 12:35 2
- *beep* *beep* *beep* -- nm - Ariel Sharon Jan 19, 12:37 1
  - He'll outlive us all. -- nm - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 19, 12:38
You're doing Coachella wrong if one stands in 100 F heat with 50000 dickheads - JD Jan 19, 12:34
and now he's completely out...Tony George has resigned from Hulman & Co.... -- (link) - Remlik Jan 19, 12:34 1
- that means he's out of the Indy Racing League, The Indy Motor Speedway, -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 12:35

This is a review of the health care legislation that may be biased, but seems to focus on what the bills are... - Dr.Vermin Jan 19, 12:33 6
- This is post is Verminacious. - pmb Jan 19, 12:39
- "may" indeed. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 12:35
