The DC Comics Covers from the Alternate Universe in Fringe....One will make Pixie cry.... -- (link) - Remlik May 22, 13:21 6
- the only thing that makes me cry is thinking how old you're going to be tomorrow -- nm - pixman May 22, 13:22 3
  - I'll actually be in my 40's! -- nm - Remlik May 22, 13:23 2
    - uh oh. don't tell spawn - pixman May 22, 13:25 1
      - yeah but I look 33 -- nm - Remlik May 22, 13:35
- here's more o fthem -- (link) - Remlik May 22, 13:22 1

How is the iPad doing? Not too shabby. -- (link) - David May 22, 13:14 2

- I'm waiting for one with a camera and bigger hard drive. -- nm - Remlik May 22, 13:18
ST Poll: Do you know what stickball is? Have you played? - Krusty May 22, 13:14 17
- I pretty much knew, I guess from movies or books. -- nm - mara May 22, 13:20
- yes, no -- nm - pixman May 22, 13:19
- Yes and no. I'd say it's mostly a "city" thing. In the suburbs and open areas, there's fields and yards to play "regular" baseball. -- nm - JaxSean May 22, 13:18 2
  - Makes sense it's a city thing but I was really shocked he never heard of the game. -- nm - Krusty May 22, 13:22 1
    - Well...he *is* from Texas... -- nm - JaxSean May 22, 13:25
- I know, but it's not a Chicago thing. - the liioulu with frizzy hair May 22, 13:17 4
  - Wallball? Like handball or like asses up? -- nm - Krusty May 22, 13:19 3
    - Don't know what asses up is but sort of like handball. You draw the strike zone on the wall and it's the catrcher. - the liioulu with frizzy hair May 22, 13:21 2
      - I see, yeah we played like that too. Mostly wiffle ball where the we drew the strike zone on a wall and pitched from the middle of the street. - Krusty May 22, 13:26 1
        
        There was a version of that, but not nearly as violent. - the liioulu with frizzy hair May 22, 13:29
- Yes and no. We just played actual baseball since we had yards. -- nm - David May 22, 13:15 6
  - We played baseball too but we never had enough kids for two teams. - Krusty May 22, 13:17 5
    - We played wiffle ball *a lot* in New Jersey when I was growing up. -- nm - JaxSean May 22, 13:19 3
      - I love it! I was watching wiffle ball videos last week. There are professional teams and the pitches are sick! I've never seen movement like that - Krusty May 22, 13:20 2
        
        I used to love it. The best part was usually when you hit the ball it didn't go very far unless you hit it just right. - JaxSean May 22, 13:23 1
        
        Yup, they weren't made very well. There were days we collected bottles because our parents refused to give us any more money for wiffle balls. - Krusty May 22, 13:29
    - You need 9 kids per team? ;) -- nm - the liioulu with frizzy hair May 22, 13:19

Do any TTers have any experience with Pulte Homes? Mrs moose and I are seriously considering buying a new home from them. - musubi May 22, 09:25 17

  - That is a really awesome link! -- nm - Redmond, Gemma fan! May 22, 10:02 6
    - Weird. When I put it in there it actually included the search *results* for Pulte. Now it doesn't. I blame you. -- nm - TWuG May 22, 10:04 5
      - A lot of databases don't allow you to link to results. -- nm - mara May 22, 10:06 1
        
        It's the sea-lion at the top of this page. I know it, you know it. He gobbles up posts like they are herring. -- nm - Redmond, Gemma fan! May 22, 10:08

- yes. I live in one now, and that is a normal contract thing for Pulte. My previous LV house they also built. BUT - peglegpete May 22, 09:39 1
