Homeowner's assocation in Texas forecloses because of missed dues. (This is incredible.) -- (link) - mara Jul 6, 17:53 12
- That they can foreclose on, take away your house, not just send to collections/get a judment against, etc is standard? - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jul 6, 18:14 3
  - In our case, they already did a judgement. - Black Rabbit Jul 6, 18:22
  - Seems so. What did they say? 33 states? -- nm - the liioulu who's fed up with humidity Jul 6, 18:21 1
    - In our state, it goes to small claims court first. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 6, 18:22

- WTG, groom! -- nm - David Jul 6, 17:31
- This is several years old. Interesting that it's popped up again. -- nm - Reagen Jul 6, 17:31

Anyone else having trouble with Farmville? -- nm - the liioulu who's fed up with humidity Jul 6, 17:21 10
- Alllllright. *Arranges concert* -- nm - JC Mellencamp Jul 6, 18:26
- What's wrong, has it stopped being fun? -- nm - mara Jul 6, 17:31 1
  - Well...if it taking for ever to download and having to constantly refresh so is can take forever to download to do one thing is fun, then no. - the liioulu who's fed up with humidity Jul 6, 17:33
- No worse than it always is. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 6, 17:27
- fine as frog hairs. -- nm - nubby Jul 6, 17:26

hmmm, lost dog has wandered onto our back porch and is lying down in front of the sliding glass doors. - CQ Jul 6, 17:15 2
- Argh. This was Petey. If it has a collar and you are unfamiliar with it, call animal control. - Black Rabbit Jul 6, 17:16 1
  - I think it's too late to call, but I'll try. I feel bad for the poor thing in this heat -- nm - CQ Jul 6, 17:20
Yeah, so, The Tooth Fairy may be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. - kelly Jul 6, 17:14 2
- The Tooth Fairy is like Casablanca compared to The Last Airbender. -- nm - almost every critic Jul 6, 17:38

*laughing* Kitten attacks pug. -- (link) - mara Jul 6, 17:03 [youtube] 2
- Don't you love those 'big cat' moves. Go for the back of the neck or the hamstring. Right out of a Nat Geo documentary :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 6, 17:15 1
  - So true! Unfortunately this hamstring move results in getting sat on. :-) -- nm - mara Jul 6, 17:19
WIPEOUT! -- nm - Beaker Jul 6, 16:59 2

Is there any source for Sabathia being replaced by Weaver other than rotoworld? No one else seems to be reporting it. - musubi Jul 6, 16:33 2
- this is their source - "would" is odd? nm but: -- (link) - b. Jul 6, 16:37
- MLB Network said that Girardi mentioned it in his pregame press conference. -- nm - nubby Jul 6, 16:35
And I thought *I* came up with crazy words sometimes... - znufrii Jul 6, 16:31
HSX-related: When we click on banners on HSX, is it important to keep clicking within the page you're led to? I'm wondering about how to achieve the - facto Jul 6, 16:31 20
- Real answer: it probably varies from advertiser to advertiser. - Callisto Jul 6, 16:52 7
  - Right, unless it's something like intellitxt that pays per click, the rate is going to be set by the contract. - David Jul 6, 16:57 6
    - but to answer the second part, the advertiser may use Google Analytics to report on the success of their various investments -- nm - Beryllium Jul 6, 16:58 5
      - that's correct, absolutely (which is why I said it probably varies from advertiser to advertiser) -- nm - Callisto Jul 6, 17:14 4
        
        (though really, it's up to the advertiser to convert the person once they've clicked. It's not HSX's fault if they don't.) -- nm - Callisto Jul 6, 17:15 3
        
        I work for a CPA company; it seems quite different from CPC stuff ... -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 6, 17:18 2
        
        my company is cost per impression. It's really not all about the click anyway. - Callisto Jul 6, 17:22 1
        
        Great. Now I want Taco Bell. -- nm - Qale Jul 6, 17:28
- [deleted] 3
  - On the contrary - I suggest a congressional stimulus package. - facto Jul 6, 17:12 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - They needed to ramp up the share limit - Will Hunting Jul 6, 17:42
- Why not ask that on, you know, HSX? -- nm - Qale Jul 6, 16:34 7
  - Because if HSX is caught saying, "Yes, click on our ads in order to support the site, you don't have to buy anything," it's click fraud. -- nm - mara Jul 6, 17:00 2
    - I still think they should ask on perhaps DHD's site. Does Finke have forums? -- nm - Qale Jul 6, 17:03
    - which is why I like amazon ads more than google ads. BUY STUFF! BUY EVERYTHING! heh - Beryllium Jul 6, 17:01
  - I don't like perpetuating to the people there the crisis notion.... Some of them start posting lots of questions, again - facto Jul 6, 16:37 3
    - I think the imdb boards are totally more appropriate for such a question then. -- nm - Qale Jul 6, 16:44 1
      - Yes, they are not packed with movie geeks... :-) - facto Jul 6, 16:49
    - maybe ask dmac privately what serves the site best? -- nm - b. Jul 6, 16:39
So, I had Superman Returns on the television. I filled the jacuzzi tub, had a 15 minute relaxation time period, emptied it, got dried up and the same - Will Hunting Jul 6, 16:25 15
- They turned Lois Lane into a whiney bitch -- nm - Bacon Jul 6, 17:49
- The whole movie is a mistake. I'm of the opinion that if you do a Superman movie, you have to go with it. - David Jul 6, 17:00 3
  - I'm a big fan of drawing out his stalker tendencies as long as possible. - Will Hunting Jul 6, 17:15 2
    - You liked Deadpool? -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 6, 17:19 1
      - What? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 6, 17:21
- That was on when I was as my Grandmother's. I decided it was time to leave. -- nm - Qale Jul 6, 16:30
- aren't you in another state? Why are you still posting as kelly? heheh -- nm - Beryllium Jul 6, 16:26 3
  - Becuase I'm lazy. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 6, 16:28 1
    - that's my excuse ... heheh :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 6, 16:36
  - (I decided to dodge around the many land mines in the actual post ... oh well. :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 6, 16:26
- "relaxation time period" -- nm - b. Jul 6, 16:26 1
  - that's one I haven't used -- nm - tealfan Jul 6, 17:21
- If only there was a way to change the channel... -- nm - kelly Jul 6, 16:25 2
  - Isn't he in southern Indiana? - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 6, 16:33
  - I just want more of the great lamb you made. -- nm - Will Si Jul 6, 16:27
"...a wide variety of academic research shows that parents are not happier than their childless peers, and in many cases are less so. This finding is -- (link) - mara Jul 6, 16:24 24
- I skimmed the rest of the article after that, and it seems to show more mixed results than that would indicate. it's more that it may not necessarily - b. Jul 6, 16:48 8
  - I liked this line as a good summation of parenthood: - Dr.Vermin Jul 6, 16:52 7
    - *ding* -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 6, 17:00
    - No, not really. -- nm - the liioulu who's fed up with humidity Jul 6, 16:58 4
      - fair enough, parenting certainly isn't more humidity -- nm - Beryllium Jul 6, 17:00 3
        
        You obviously haven't changed a diaper yet. ;) -- nm - the liioulu who's fed up with humidity Jul 6, 17:02 2
        
        if the joys of parenting are undone by changing diapers, you're doing something wrong. -- nm - TFox Jul 6, 17:30 1
        
        That was a comment on humidity only. ;) - the liioulu who's fed up with humidity Jul 6, 17:45
    - that's my take, too. I'd still say that, for most people, it tips to the positive. -- nm - b. Jul 6, 16:55
- I liken this to the own vs. rent discussion. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 6, 16:34 13
  - ...in that parenting might not be for everyone. It's just as silly to say "parenting will make you happier than being childless" - Dr.Vermin Jul 6, 16:36 12
    - If nothing else, it exposes a cultural myth for what it is. - znufrii Jul 6, 16:40 11
      - Sometimes I think some parents say that because they want their single friends to be as miserable as they are. - the liioulu who's fed up with humidity Jul 6, 16:43 1
        
        that too... :) - znufrii Jul 6, 16:45
      - and the renting vs. owning discussion does much the same - znufrii Jul 6, 16:42 8
        
        Though for many, and yes - I'll argue *most*, both "myths" are true, IMO. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 6, 16:49 7
        
        my point is that, rather than being some universal objective cultural goal, it becomes completely contextual... - znufrii Jul 6, 16:54 6
        
        "In conclusion, Libya is a land of contrasts." -- nm - Reagen Jul 6, 17:29 1
        
        *reconfigurates your face* -- nm - znufrii Jul 6, 18:04
        
        i'm not even sure these can be legally described as "thoughts". -- nm - TFox Jul 6, 17:28 1
        
        you think that's something, you missed the 13 page paper I had to read for class, to which the entire conclusion of the paper was... - znufrii Jul 6, 17:48
        
        (and not that there's anything wrong with that) -- nm - znufrii Jul 6, 16:55 1
        
        Agreed: nothing is universal. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 6, 16:58
- I read about that too, some months ago. People with partners are happier and in better health than those without, though, on average. -- nm - facto Jul 6, 16:29
so the Justified theme song just popped up on my itunes playlist ... and the magnitude of the season finale just hit me. Heh. - Beryllium Jul 6, 16:21 1
- yep. and it all seemed very natural. -- nm - Remlik Jul 6, 16:43
"first up, "death to smoochy"!" -- nm - b. Jul 6, 16:16 3
- Battlefield Earth! -- nm - Beryllium Jul 6, 16:18 2
  - That movie is bad, but at least it's a fun kind of bad. -- nm - Qale Jul 6, 16:19 1
    - Whereas Death to Smoochy is a fun kind of awesome. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 6, 16:44
Team Autodraft. Who do I keep? - Black Rabbit Jul 6, 16:14 11
- Clark, Moss, Moreno, Rivers. Probably Ricky over Jennings. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 6, 16:40 6
  - That sounds about right. Maybe Bironas. - Black Rabbit Jul 6, 16:57 1
    - Rob Bironas! - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 6, 17:02
  - now, answer my question at the top of B2 :) -- nm - Beaker Jul 6, 16:45 3
    - A first gets a lot more attention than a last. - Black Rabbit Jul 6, 16:58
    - Rivers, Gates, and DeSean. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 6, 16:57 1
      - thanks all. -- nm - Beaker Jul 6, 17:00
- I can't believe that's teh team that won last year. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 6, 16:22 1
  - 11-2, baby! -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 6, 16:50
- [deleted]
- Bironas and 'cisco ... Oh, wait, this is football. I have no clue. Probably best to do the opposite of what I just said. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 6, 16:15
