  - Yikes. - kelly Jun 18, 10:50 2
    - Didn't you live alone before moving to Maryland? Is that you feel less safe where you are? -- nm - David Jun 18, 10:54 1
      - I did, and I never really had any problems. - kelly Jun 18, 10:59

I read something that said you should eat fruit before eating a meal. Any truth to that? - JaxSean Jun 18, 10:26 7
- that's what my dad always told us - prayformojo Jun 18, 10:35 1
  - What I read was something about if you eat the fruit after the "regular" food it had a chance to ferment or something. - JaxSean Jun 18, 10:41
- yeah, and it also helps make you more full so you don't overeat. - Callisto Jun 18, 10:28 1

  - we don't even know if she is taking them. that's why she needs to be hospitalized. She is as manic as ever, regarless. - loosilu Jun 18, 10:21
- oh, and when the police put out a warrant for her arrest, they called ahead to the county mental facility to tell her they'd be bringing her in. - loosilu Jun 18, 10:19 5
  - i guess you spoke too soon -- nm - jingoist pixie Jun 18, 10:19 4
    - heh -- nm - Black Rabbit Jun 18, 10:41
    - when? -- nm - loosilu Jun 18, 10:19 2
      - two posts ago -- nm - jingoist pixie Jun 18, 10:20 1
        
        I must have made it sound not like what it is. The cops went to the mental facility and arrested her there. -- nm - loosilu Jun 18, 10:21

        Being better than LOTR2 isn't tough. But this movie still was tedious. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 18, 10:27 4
        
        So true. - Shaun Jun 18, 10:46

        Znu's said in the past that it's merely the 3rd volume in a single story. - Will Hunting Jun 18, 10:30 9

        yeah, be careful what you ask for -- nm - crash davis Jun 18, 10:30
- they don't suck, especially from pixar, but they're still lazy money grabs unless there's really more story that needs to be told -- nm - jingoist pixie Jun 18, 10:18 6
  - which clearly there was here. -- nm - TFox Jun 18, 10:21 1
    - maybe. maybe not. i'll withhold judgment until i actually see it -- nm - jingoist pixie Jun 18, 10:22
