- Pfft. Not even a flat panel. -- nm - Shaun Mar 11, 08:29
Seeing Garrison Keillor tonight. Should be interesting to see how he fills an entire show solo, and not in the context of APHC. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 08:04 4
- What bet did you lose now? -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 08:05 3
  - I love APHC. I don't get to listen to it often, but it's really great fun. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 08:06 2
    - I won't begrudge you, but for me it is like, "Ok, time to shut off my brain unless I want it to ache from bordem now." -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 08:08 1
      - what brain, scarecrow? -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 11, 08:11
So, I had a WKRP dream last night. - Spawn Mar 11, 08:04 2
- so you were Herb Tarlec. -- nm - Remlik Mar 11, 08:27 1
  - Actually, he was the first one I met, and I was like, "Uh... aren;t you Herb Tarlec? Wait a second, is this WKRP?" We were outside the building then -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 09:31
sitwap: monoprice may have been hacked for credit card info. -- (link) - tRuMaN Mar 11, 07:58 4

  - ten cents, plus shipping. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 08:07

    - THE HACK IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE COMPANY!!! -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 08:07
David News Network: Eclipse Trailer - Diva Mar 11, 07:56
ambition is bad? -- nm - znufrii Mar 11, 07:55 54
- It sounds like she does not work at all. Maybe if she got a job - amoxy Mar 11, 08:16
- Greed is good. -- nm - Dano Mar 11, 08:09 1
  - ... until you go to jail. -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 08:10
- I'm not sure "But I can buy nice things" is ambition. If he led with "I'm trying to make partner" or something; that's ambition. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 11, 08:00 3
  - i get the feeling that's not really his reason for working those hours, but his defense of knowing/thinking she also reaps the benefits. - Andie Mar 11, 08:01 2
    - Right, there's so many variables here but I'm tending to side with the wife cuz of the long hours - Will Hunting Mar 11, 08:02 1
      - is the husband Tiger Woods, perhaps? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 08:11
- I think an EMP took out everyone's sarcasm detectors today. - TFox Mar 11, 07:56 1
  - That was the most tongue in cheek you could be. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 11, 08:00
- Depends on what you're ambitious for -- nm - oblique Mar 11, 07:56 34
  - [deleted] 33
    - if you have such an abition you should have a life accordingly - Danedukenuuk Mar 11, 08:03
    - There's being ambitious, and making that ambition the #1 priority in your life above all other things - oblique Mar 11, 08:01 27
      - [deleted] 2
        
        wrong? if living the life where there is room for work and not much else - Danedukenuuk Mar 11, 08:08
        
        I don't recall passing judgement on people for their choices, it's obviously theirs to make. *I* don't make that choice for me and I only put forth - oblique Mar 11, 08:07
      - which, again, is fine. but we can't judge other's career paths by what we ourselves would do. -- nm - Andie Mar 11, 08:02 21
        
        true, the only thing you can judge is whether it's working for them or not - znufrii Mar 11, 08:04 3
        
        yes. -- nm - loosilu Mar 11, 08:16
        
        [deleted]
        
        right. -- nm - Andie Mar 11, 08:05
        
        I forgot that offering opinions here about questions asking for opinions equates to judging - oblique Mar 11, 08:03 16
        
        everything here equates to judging - Danedukenuuk Mar 11, 08:21
        
        [deleted] 13
        
        I guess saying "I, peronsally" or "In my life" isn't enough of a clue that I'm speaking of my own opinions -- nm - oblique Mar 11, 08:05 12
        
        [deleted]
        
        hate to drag this out but... of course you say it's your choices, which everyone respects. but you don't discuss the person in question's choices, - Andie Mar 11, 08:07 10
        
        In this specific case, it's pretty much a given that he's made a wrong choice if it is causing a problem in his marriage (to whatever degree) - oblique Mar 11, 08:10 9
        
        what if, as Andie said, his career requires it? Many of them do. Maybe it's a career he loves. - loosilu Mar 11, 08:15 8
        
        either her or the careeer in this case - Danedukenuuk Mar 11, 08:25
        
        He'd lead with "I need to for my job" instead of "Look at the money." -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 11, 08:20
        
        As I said, *I* personally wouldn't choose to put my career before my wife or my family -- nm - oblique Mar 11, 08:17 5
        
        I get that. I'm saying maybe HE didn't make the wrong choice. -- nm - loosilu Mar 11, 08:18 4
        
        If it is causing a problem in his marriage, then I believe he did -- nm - oblique Mar 11, 08:19 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        In what? Marrying him? Sorry, it's a two way street. You find the place in the middle where both can live happily -- nm - oblique Mar 11, 08:23 1
        
        Put it another way. My brother is a doctor. - loosilu Mar 11, 08:26
        
        no, that's not it at all. your opinion is as valid as anyone elses, but you imply he's wrong to have different values. -- nm - Andie Mar 11, 08:04
      - (and when you get married, you sort of promise to not do the latter.) -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 08:02 1
        
        Again with the vows?!? -- nm - JackDawson SI Mar 11, 08:02
    - it's not bad in and of itself, but within the context of a healthy relationship, it doesn't seem to be working in their case... -- nm - znufrii Mar 11, 08:01 3
      - Honestly, I think they both need to understand the other better. She needs to understand his career goals, and he needs to make a decision about - Roger More Mar 11, 08:10 2
        
        imho, he might also be using the "nice things" argument to mask his insecurities about relationships - znufrii Mar 11, 08:14
        
        I agree with this. it sounds like they may have different goals. -- nm - loosilu Mar 11, 08:13
- When you are doing something your fiancee does not want you to do. -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 07:56 9
  - but what if your ambition is to do something to her? -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 11, 07:59 6
    - Then you drop that steamer on her chest, and don't let anything get in the way of your dream. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 07:59 5
      - nice -- nm - Jim Mar 11, 08:01
      - *shakes head* - oblique Mar 11, 08:00 3
        
        He must be from Cleveland. It's practically how they say Hello there. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 08:06
        
        You realize you are shaking your head "yes", right? -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 08:01
        
        *drops a steamer on your judgement* -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 08:01
  - nice. -- nm - znufrii Mar 11, 07:58
  - [deleted]
this is not the end, its the beginning -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 11, 07:54 2
- ... of the end. -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 07:55 1
  - of the beginning -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 11, 08:03
