iPods are such a chore! - Mop Nov 21, 09:54 11
- again, I only keep two gigs or so on my ipod and change it out frequently. it's the amy putnam theory of toothpaste. it reduces my stress level - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 21, 10:02
- You can set it to just upload everything in your iTunes library. Unless it's not big enough. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 21, 09:56 9
  - It's not big enough. And she only wants about 20% of all the ripped songs we have. -- nm - Mop Nov 21, 09:59 5
    - Yeah, then it's kind of a pain. I used to have mine set to auto synch, then my library outgrew my ipod. - JaxSean Nov 21, 10:01
    - Create a playlist of what she wants and have it sync that playlist. -- nm - lileve Nov 21, 10:00 3

A little over 5 minutes to take positions on the weekend openers on HSX if you're playing. - JaxSean Nov 21, 09:52 13
- I'm long on both openers. I liquidated ~450 of my stocks once Classic came back up - Beryllium Nov 21, 10:07
- Thanks, just shorted it. -- nm - Loyola Nov 21, 09:55 1

do we think a cruise would be a good/interesting way to do hawaii, esp. if you've never been? -- nm - kare Nov 21, 09:52 22
- I'd do what Jon and Kate did - stay at a hotel, and then charter a sailboat (with a captain and crew) ... -- nm - Beryllium Nov 21, 10:08 1
  - for a three hour tour? -- nm - Dano Nov 21, 10:13
- I'll vote for land based, who wants to eat boat/hotel food everyday and have to wait till mid morning to get going, have to be back by a certain time -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 21, 10:01 1
  - yeah, I had so much fun finding local food. -- nm - loosilu Nov 21, 10:03

- Cruises are wonderful. - Dr.Vermin Nov 21, 09:54
- NO! -- nm - Thurston Howell III Nov 21, 09:54
- My opinion: Not really. - Subversive Nov 21, 09:53 3
  - i was thinking it would be like a reasonably priced hotel with food, and we'd get to play on a different island every day. but i have no idea. - kare Nov 21, 09:54 2
    - each has its own flavor. Honestly I'd say no for the cruise and just hang out on one or two islands in a leisurely way. The best parts of HI for me - loosilu Nov 21, 09:56 1
      - hmm, good point -- nm - kare Nov 21, 09:58
- [deleted]
- don't know about cruising but I loved spending time on the islands. wouldn't want to miss thtat. -- nm - loosilu Nov 21, 09:52 6
  - where did you go again? -- nm - kare Nov 21, 09:55 5
    - Just Oahu. Got out of Honolulu asap. -- nm - loosilu Nov 21, 09:56 4
      - you hated honolulu? -- nm - kare Nov 21, 09:58 1
        
        It's just a big city. It has great aspects to it. But just a few miles outside -- KNOCKOUT! -- nm - loosilu Nov 21, 10:00
      - ps. If you go to Oahu you must go snorkeling at Hanauma Bay ... google for pics, it's unreal. -- nm - loosilu Nov 21, 09:58 1
        
        Here's a pic of Hanauma. It's where I swam with turtles. -- (link) - loosilu Nov 21, 10:03 [Image]

    - I think there's no way they'd turn that way. -- nm - loosilu Nov 21, 10:05 2
      - I agree, but because they have done so many unusal things - amoxy Nov 21, 10:11 1
        
        isn't Harmon involved in producing the show now? I can't seem him letting that happen. -- nm - loosilu Nov 21, 10:12

- this week. she actually got knocked out. -- nm - loosilu Nov 21, 09:49 4
  - well yeah, but it took six guys to get the job done :) That's what happens when you make her mad ... -- nm - Beryllium Nov 21, 09:49 3
