BP's dismal safety record -- (link) - mara Jun 3, 09:08 2
- Every time I see BP mentioned here, I think it's BOP. I assumed this was about David and his shower curtain. (nm) - musubi Jun 3, 09:14 1

  - If we'd all just obey the law, the cops could beat up Rodney King in private, just like the Founding Fathers wanted. -- nm - Mop (224 lbs) Jun 3, 09:08
  - I find it fascinating/interesting also -- nm - oblique Jun 3, 09:02
  - hmmm, what about Secret Service? I've been chewed out for taking pics (unintentionally). -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 08:59 3
    - if it's in a public place, you're allowed to. It's all just intimidation to get you not to (which they are obviously allowed to do) - Reagen Jun 3, 09:01 2
      - intersting, thanks. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 09:01 1
        
        I should say that there could be some arcane national secrets law or something, that I'm not aware of that might apply there - Reagen Jun 3, 09:11
  - The consensus I've heard from the comments is that, in this situation, it was completely legal - but the photos can't be used commercially. - Beryllium Jun 3, 08:59 1

I finished reading Let The Great World Spin. - ty97 Jun 3, 08:53
LMS...adding Luther to the "watch" pile. Great cast. -- nm - Remlik Jun 3, 08:51
my bad idea yesterday was going to work: I lost the bracelet mrs. zork gave me when we were dating, at 10:30 got called to come home to fix the front - zork Jun 3, 08:50 1
- the one thing that was good is that I found my watch that I had been missing for months -- nm - zork Jun 3, 09:10

BP 'cuts pipe from leaking oil well' - Danedukenuuk Jun 3, 08:47
You know, it's not that I'm not familiar with the concept of losing weight. It's that I'm eating less and gaining more. WTF? -- nm - Mop (224 lbs) Jun 3, 08:43 33
- maybe your body has gone into starvation mode? medically - thyroid issues? -- nm - Epiphany Jun 3, 09:08 1
  - lupus! -- nm - oblique Jun 3, 09:08
- also, how is your digestive system working? - groiny Jun 3, 09:04 5
  - LYC massive overshare - oblique Jun 3, 09:06 4
    - could simply be your body adapting. -- nm - decline Jun 3, 09:10 1
      - My wife says I've lost enough and need to stop (for the same reasons). It's weird that it happened after being stable at -35 for such a long time - oblique Jun 3, 09:11
    - stop the fiber and eat some fruit instead -- nm - Epiphany Jun 3, 09:09 1
      - I started the fiber after (more overshare) - oblique Jun 3, 09:10
- are you drinking 8 glasses of water a day? - groiny Jun 3, 08:58
- Are you drinking enough? Water or calorie free drinks. Are you eating less of the right (bad) stuff? -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 3, 08:58 15
  - For the last several weeks, I was losing weight as I ate Cookie Crisp for breakfast and dinner. Now I'm out of Cookie Crisp. -- nm - Mop (224 lbs) Jun 3, 08:59 11
    - so what are you eating? - groiny Jun 3, 09:00 6
      - Not much. Toast for breakfast. Pasta or rice for dinner. -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Jun 3, 09:03 5
        
        Pasta is one of the least healthy things to eat overall. -- nm - Shaun Jun 3, 09:06 2
        
        wheat pasta is not bad, it is more the sauce that you have to watch. - groiny Jun 3, 09:07 1
        
        I wasn't thinking of strictly the pasta itself. If you're slathering it with creamy alfredo sauce then... -- nm - Shaun Jun 3, 09:09
        
        um - groiny Jun 3, 09:06 1
        
        doesn't he need some, um, protein? -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 09:07
    - *gapes* -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 08:59 3
      - most cereals top out at 240 calories per serving, with cookie crisp - groiny Jun 3, 09:01 2
        
        IF you follow the proper portion size, but most people probably don't. -- nm - zork Jun 3, 09:09
        
        oh, it's not a calorie thing so much as sugar. I would pass out. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 09:01
  - you are so smart meg. - groiny Jun 3, 08:59 2
    - Nah, just two years of WW experience and education. - MojaveMeg Jun 3, 09:01 1
      - It just amused me that we asked the exact same questions - groiny Jun 3, 09:03
- Turning it into muscle? Is the 'less' any healthier? -- nm - JaxSean Jun 3, 08:50
- sleep more -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 3, 08:49
- Oh, and Meg: Did you get a chance to fill out the public spreadsheet? -- nm - Mop (224 lbs) Jun 3, 08:44 2
  - With as much as I had. Number of folks didn't report this week. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 3, 08:55 1
    - Can you backfill those I missed from past weeks? -- nm - Mop (224 lbs) Jun 3, 08:58
- are you exercising? -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 08:44 2
  - No more than usual. Walking instead of driving. Taking the stairs. etc. -- nm - Mop (224 lbs) Jun 3, 08:44 1
    - you might want to consider changing that, then. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 08:47
I guess Rue makes it 3 :-( -- nm - MDH Jun 3, 08:41 5
- Or it starts a new 3. - Beryllium (iPhone) Jun 3, 08:43
- No one listens to Reagen si -- nm - Roger More Jun 3, 08:42 3
  - Oh no I didn't see it. - MDH Jun 3, 08:43 1
    - I read some entrails this morning that told me it did. - Reagen Jun 3, 09:05
  - No one listens to Reagen not-si either. Equal treatment. -- nm - ty97 Jun 3, 08:43
Sometimes I miss how a meme started, but accept it for what it is, without knowing. - ty97 Jun 3, 08:39 19
- [deleted] 2
  - And I'm creeped out by pictures of troll dolls. -- nm - ty97 Jun 3, 08:48
  - The internet is good at many things. Unseeing things is not one of them. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 08:48
- I know what it is and I'm glad I found out through word of mouth and didn't see a video. -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 08:41 2
  - I only read it about via wikipedia, and my stomache is still unsettled. -- nm - ty97 Jun 3, 08:42 1
    - Least surprising thing I've heard so far. - Krusty Jun 3, 08:43
- Tubgirl really doesn't seem so bad now. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 08:39 12
  - I have seen both and Tubgirl still scars me -- nm - amoxy Jun 3, 08:46
  - uh, this may be the worst one -- nm - Gwaahjo Jun 3, 08:43 4
    - The outtakes are even worse - Guigue Jun 3, 08:53
    - no way. My ranking, from least to worst: Tubgirl, 2 girls, Centipede. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 08:50 2
      - centipede, from the trailer, is not bad at all. maybe if the movie shows it more graphically i can be swayed but spoils - Gwaahjo Jun 3, 08:51 1
        
        I read some descriptions and yeah, it's way worse. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 08:51
  - *refuses to google* -- nm - ty97 Jun 3, 08:40 5
    - While you're (not) at it, don't google lemonparty or bottleguy or eelgirl, either -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jun 3, 08:42 3
      - I just googled the meaning of tubgirl. Ugh. I wondered across a lemonparty descrription in the process. -- nm - ty97 Jun 3, 08:47 2
        
        we can't be held responsible if you refuse to follow instructinos not to google. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 08:48 1
        
        I'm carefully using text only description links -- nm - ty97 Jun 3, 08:48
    - don't. really just don't. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 08:40
The killer who beheaded the dude on the greyhound bus? yeah he is already being granted privileges. -- (link) - Beaker Jun 3, 08:39 2
- Anything ever come from this push for "Tim's Law"? -- (link) - Mop (224 lbs) Jun 3, 08:43 1
  - I don't think Tim Horton's can make us drink their coffee (and not that I have heard) -- nm - Beaker Jun 3, 08:43
To catch up: if they reverse the call and give him the perfect game...I want my 1985 World Series trophy. Dawson's chick... - Jim Jun 3, 08:35 26
- I agree with pmb - she wanted to " win" and someone else did - Epiphany Jun 3, 08:42 3
  - often it's not enough to win - the other person must also lose. -- nm - Reagen Jun 3, 08:58
  - [deleted] 1
    - true that -- nm - Epiphany Jun 3, 09:07
- If it was the last out, sure. -- nm - mara Jun 3, 08:40
- counseling was a suggestion because it seemed like she hadn't moved on from that guy and her anger was consuming her. - Diva Jun 3, 08:38
- How does being pissed at him lead to a lot of crying? That's not how anger works, at least not healthy anger. -- nm - mara Jun 3, 08:37 9
  - My thoughts wer LIR -- (link) - pmb Jun 3, 08:42 [Backboard]
  - But she doesn't cry randomly. Engagement is a major event. That will bring back feelings. - Jim Jun 3, 08:39 1
    - Definitely. But the feelings are not just anger. -- nm - mara Jun 3, 08:41
  - How could a guy like that find happiness before me....yadda yadda. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 3, 08:38
  - isn't that kind of presumptuous? she is expressing it, at least. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 08:38 4
    - If she's crying, she's expressing sadness, not anger. -- nm - mara Jun 3, 08:38 3
      - people aren't binary like that. -- nm - Reagen Jun 3, 09:06 1
        
        there are many reasons to cry, including anger and happiness. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 09:07
      - I disagree. people express things differently. I sometimes cry when I'm angry. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 08:39
- On your IM, she needs to move on and she needs help to do it -- nm - Roger More Jun 3, 08:37 5
  - She has moved on. A major event happened that brought back a lot of feelings. - Jim Jun 3, 08:38 4
    - I think it's clear that she *hadn't* really moved on, at least not as much as she claimed... - znufrii Jun 3, 08:41 3
      - if she is not asking for advice, it kinda sounds like it's no one else's business. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 08:41 2
        
        I...a...gree! nm - Jim Jun 3, 08:48 1
        
        it's good. :) -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 08:50
- I sorta agree on the IM. - Will Hunting Jun 3, 08:36 3
  - [deleted]
  - I think I agree. Even if you're over someone, who hasn't felt a bit upset when hearing that an ex is getting married? -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 08:37 1
    - *raises hand* -- nm - Diva Jun 3, 08:44
[deleted] 3
- Ahh, makes sense. My insurance required them to be separate for me also. - ty97 Jun 3, 08:34 1
  - usually counselors are not MDs, so they cannot prescribe. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 08:35
- yeah that makes sense. -- nm - Beaker Jun 3, 08:34
I only have to see the movie in order to prove my love for Dano. -- nm - Diva Jun 3, 08:32
It's the remix to ignition hot and fresh out the kitchen. Mama rolling that body got every man in here wishing -- nm - ty97 Jun 3, 08:32
Rue McClanahan passed away -- (link) - budice Jun 3, 08:31 10
- so betty's the last one left, right? -- nm - prayformojo Jun 3, 08:36 1
  - Yup. -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 08:38
- :( -- nm - kelly Jun 3, 08:36
- :( -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 3, 08:34
- [deleted]
- Nobody say it! -- nm - Reagen si Jun 3, 08:33
- There can only be one. - Betty White Jun 3, 08:32
- oh noes! :( - znufrii Jun 3, 08:32
- :( good bye Blanche. -- nm - Beaker Jun 3, 08:32
- :( -- nm - Diva Jun 3, 08:32
another reason for two shrinks: One for something like couples therapy and another for individual. Also, shrinks are not supposed to give advice. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 08:30 16
- 2 shrinks 1 cup -- nm - Beaker Jun 3, 08:31 15
  - thanks, I was not having a hard enough time keeping down breakfast. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 08:31 14
    - 2 human centipedes 1 cup. -- nm - Beaker Jun 3, 08:32 13
      - the dude should be locked up just for thinking of that idea. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 08:33 12
        
        I'm generally against Thought Crimes but I agree with you in this case. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 3, 08:34 11
        
        I'm thinking of changing my Ika.com player name to The Human Centipede -- nm - Beaker Jun 3, 08:36 5
        
        we'd definitely creep out the server with a player in the alliance like that. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 3, 08:46 4
        
        ideally 3 people would do it (1 - THC front, middle and back) -- nm - Beaker Jun 3, 08:47 3
        
        *creeped out* -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 3, 08:49 1
        
        If I were still playing Ika, I would *fear* HC Middle. that's one bad mofo. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 08:51
        
        "FEED HER!" -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 08:48
        
        it's making it a movie that makes it criminal. I really, really didn't need to have that image. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 08:34 4
        
        I kinda hafta see this. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 3, 08:35 3
        
        Once you've seen the main image associated with the title, I'm not sure how much worse it can get. - TWuG Jun 3, 08:47 1
        
        from the description I read ... far, far worse. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 08:49
        
        Word. -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 08:42
Yikes! -- nm - decline Jun 3, 08:30
"Hassan Chop!" -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 3, 08:30
