Question (poll?) #2. kilbo floated the idea about using goodreads.com for discussing the books. - ty97 Mar 2, 10:41 4
- I watch too much Chuck. I originally read that kilbo "flashed on the idea" -- nm - crash davis Mar 2, 10:47
- I don't fully understand the impediment to discussing the books here. -- nm - TFox Mar 2, 10:46 2
  - provides for better continuity of discussion over a longer time frame. -- nm - znufrii Mar 2, 10:50
  - Take it to the books board -- nm - oblique Mar 2, 10:49
oh, my friend is just all messed up right now. gave a guy her phone number, he called last night and she missed the call. - kare Mar 2, 10:38 12
- She should make sure to mention that she's "breezy". -- nm - Reagen Mar 2, 10:44
- she's simply returning a phone call (i assume he left a message?). that's really just the polite thing to do. - Andie Mar 2, 10:43 4
  - [deleted]
  - ahh, true. I assumed no voicemail. Iif he left voicemail, just call back -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 10:44 2
    - he left a voicemail. she emailed me with the verbiage of the potential text and asked if it was overeager to text this morning - kare Mar 2, 10:46 1
      - ah, I think the first part of the text is ok then. - b. Mar 2, 10:52
- now there's a future writer of a 12 paragraph letter-to-meredith. -- nm - b. Mar 2, 10:41
- let him twist in the wind. life's not all about easy answers or "closure" -- nm - jingoist pixie Mar 2, 10:40
- text sounds like a plan "sorry I missed your call, try me tonight?"or somesuch -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 10:40 3
  - she was going to say "sorry i missed your call, look forward to talking to you, will call you back later" - kare Mar 2, 10:42 1
    - yeah, that's odd. If she's going to call, then call. - ty97 Mar 2, 10:44
  - yup. -- nm - znufrii Mar 2, 10:41

I watched Dead Snow on Netflix the other day. It was fantastic. - TFox Mar 2, 10:10 11

  - spoilers - TFox Mar 2, 10:16 3
    - Spoils - LMS Mar 2, 10:19 2
      - Yeah, I guess. I thought the payoff was worth the pacing issues. -- nm - TFox Mar 2, 10:19 1
        
        It's only 80mins long which is a bonus too. -- nm - LMS Mar 2, 10:20
- What motivated you to choose it? -- nm - OAE Mar 2, 10:12 2

ladies only (i guess the men can answer if they've done it too): have you ever intentionally "played dumb" around a guy to seem less smart - jingoist pixie Mar 2, 10:07 24
- i do that everytime my manager comes along with some shitty important job -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 2, 10:43 1
  - *laughing* -- nm - kare Mar 2, 10:47
- No. -- nm - Callisto Mar 2, 10:41
- hell no. that said: i've never really needed to. -- nm - kare Mar 2, 10:28 1
  - oh, this could come across as very conceited. what i mean to say: i is already kinda dumb. -- nm - kare Mar 2, 10:29
- Never had time for this ploy. -- nm - OAE Mar 2, 10:14
- my college gf sandbagged me in chess and then brought out the whoopass. We never played again. -- nm - Max Mar 2, 10:12 1
  - The Color of Money is . . . black and white -- nm - jingoist pixie Mar 2, 10:14
- *thinking* I don't think I've done it seriously or with intent to fool. - b. Mar 2, 10:12 2
  - what about to get out of trouble, like being pulled over by a cop? I've done that. -- nm - loosilu Mar 2, 10:12 1

- At work I constantly have "dumb down" stuff for co-workers, does that count? (nm) - musubi Mar 2, 10:10 1
  - for what purpose? are they just not smart enough to understand it?? -- nm - jingoist pixie Mar 2, 10:12
- sure. (not on a guy I'm trying to hook up with, though) -- nm - loosilu Mar 2, 10:09 6
  - i would have expected a woman to do it more for the latter - jingoist pixie Mar 2, 10:17 5
    - I've seen other women do it. In the long run I think it would backfire. you can't do it forever. -- nm - loosilu Mar 2, 10:33 3
      - *secretly does ny times crossword for twenty years* -- nm - b. Mar 2, 10:35 2

        I was thinking, twenty years is a long time to do a crossword. -- nm - loosilu Mar 2, 10:39
    - oh, I've known this is likely true; and I've thought about it; but I could never bring myself to do it. -- nm - b. Mar 2, 10:21

ladies - everyone washes non-pack underclothes before wearing them, right? asking because... - b. Mar 2, 10:04 16
- the official League of Their Own line of undergarments: Get Some Dirt In Your Skirt! -- nm - Max Mar 2, 10:50
- yes. but wouldn't most of the bacteria etc. be dead within a couple of days anyway? -- nm - kare Mar 2, 10:32 6
  - Viruses, a few hours. Bacteria, I wouldn't be on it. -- nm - loosilu Mar 2, 10:34 2
    - and other creatures, God only knows. -- nm - loosilu Mar 2, 10:35 1
      - oops, missed this. -- nm - b. Mar 2, 10:47
  - mostly, at least; but how would you know when something was returned? -- nm - b. Mar 2, 10:34 2
    - shrug. it's all helping me have a stronger immune system! -- nm - kare Mar 2, 10:40 1
      - ok, you made me go there: what I was thinking of more than bacteria... - b. Mar 2, 10:45
- Reason # 257 why I am glad I am a male. Wouldn't want to live in a world where my purchases were previously a Redmond try-on. -- nm - HdnAgnda Mar 2, 10:09
- I'm actually kinda surprised that the store actually accepts a return on drawers. - Jim Mar 2, 10:07
- Think of it as communing with your fellow ladies. -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 10:06
- ewwwwwwwwwwww. that's illegal, isn't it? - Andie Mar 2, 10:05 1
  - I didn't catch the whole segment, but I think they may have mentioned bathing suits, too. some of the stores, at least, said they had policies - b. Mar 2, 10:09
- yikes!!! I wash bathing suits. I think all my underclothes are in packs. -- nm - loosilu Mar 2, 10:05
- Hell...we wash pack underclothes before wearing them too. nm - Jim Mar 2, 10:05 1
  - I do, too; but the single ones just seem so much grosser for some reason. at least with most packs, you can tell if it's been opened. - b. Mar 2, 10:07
Word. -- nm - Jim Mar 2, 10:03
