    - "why the f are we still talking?" -- nm - Max Apr 7, 10:45

        naw, not me. I'm handy, but I'm not a carpenter. Even I would get someone else to do it -- nm - CQ Apr 7, 10:50
      - I'd bet a lot of people feel "it was never the right moment to bring it up" so a dedicated time would be helpful. -- nm - Max Apr 7, 10:47

Should Tiki get it worse because he has also been so critical of his father? I can't decide. -- nm - David Apr 7, 10:34 14

- did I also see that this is his birthday? -- nm - zork Apr 7, 10:37 6

    - he could have waited a month and dumped her while she was in labour with the twins -- nm - Beaker Apr 7, 10:38 1
      - or he could have texted the other woman while she was in labour (ala Angel/Booth) -- nm - Beaker Apr 7, 10:42
- I'm trying to think of a realistic scenario to pile on top that would make it worse and can't. -- nm - Reagen Apr 7, 10:36 3

- If you have someone who knows what they're doing, it's just labor-intensive. - Will Hunting Apr 7, 10:13 4
  - [deleted] 3
    - If they run like Lowes did for me; they won't even measure until you have your setup done cabinet-wise - Will Hunting Apr 7, 10:17 1
      - [deleted]
    - That usually works, but there's a reason the mantra is "measure twice, cut once" :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 7, 10:16

    - there's a reason why it's called skilled labor. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 10:06 3

        generally people who build houses are considered skilled. Well ... unless you watch Holmes on Homes. Then you see the truth. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 7, 10:11

hmm, is it said that i am considering buying a new mp3 player to just use for the audio files for my cpa review class? - tRuMaN Apr 7, 09:59 4
- I had an RCA Lyra that took micro-SD cards. You could get something like that and just swap in a card with those files when you need it. -- nm - zork Apr 7, 10:03 2
  - was looking at a sansa clip+ (4gb) that accepts microsd cards. - tRuMaN Apr 7, 10:06 1
    - those things look mad nice. the older version is pimp, and that one looks way better. -- nm - TFox Apr 7, 10:12
