- So..see if I get this right....England loses in the same round as Portugal in the same form....and they ... advance while Portugal plummets? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 14, 07:58 1
  - mainly because Portugal had a better performance than England in the 2006 World Cup, and those points got dropped in this go-around -- nm - znufrii Jul 14, 08:06

Somwhere Kathy Griffin is getting ready to eat a shotgun if the rumors of her and Levi are true. -- nm - Remlik Jul 14, 07:31 12
- The whole relationship thing between them was a joke. What rumors about those two are you floating around? -- nm - MDH Jul 14, 07:35 10
  - they were together at the Nick awards, he flew in LA to spend time with her, and they've been to a couple of other functions together -- nm - Remlik Jul 14, 07:37 8
    - That was all pretty pre-arranged for paparazzi opportunities. (but even if she did, good for her.) -- nm - JaxSean Jul 14, 07:38 1
      - she said he called her "ma'am". -- nm - loosilu Jul 14, 07:40
    - It was all a publicity stunt for her show. She had a D-List episode this month about it. -- nm - MDH Jul 14, 07:38 5
      - pretty sure it was last year. (remlik, you weren't joking?) -- nm - loosilu Jul 14, 07:39 4
        
        It aired 2 weeks ago. Trust me I know Kathy Griffin's stuff way too well. - MDH Jul 14, 07:40 3
        
        I am positive I saw her talking about the whole thing, maybe not on the D List, last year. -- nm - loosilu Jul 14, 07:41 2
        
        Oh she definitely has previously. She flew to AK to hang out with him this season. - MDH Jul 14, 07:44 1
        
        ah, missed that. What I saw was her talking about how she got the idea. There was no question it was a joke. - loosilu Jul 14, 07:48
  - psst. he's joking. :) -- nm - loosilu Jul 14, 07:36
- Were she and Bristol a couple? -- nm - amoxy Jul 14, 07:34

  - well, if this is a possibility I suggest getting it checked out. I was like you, no nausea except for right before vomiting. If untreated can get - sycor Jul 14, 07:27
  - sounds like you had some kind of bug or food poisoning? -- nm - loosilu Jul 14, 07:26 1

- I juust requested this from my public library......there are 17 holds on this book. It sounds like a great read. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jul 14, 07:40 1
  - I wish I could see my hold queue placement. I'm not optimistic for my hold. 100 copies, all checked out or on hold for other people right now. -- nm - ty97 Jul 14, 07:46
- that sounds fascinating. -- nm - TFox Jul 14, 07:21
- What is week 1 for Ulysses? This, or next? And did we decide on a location for Ulysses Central? -- nm - TFox Jul 14, 07:19 3
  - Here's the schedule again. Also, I think we'll go ahead and just use Goodreads as our location. - Callisto Jul 14, 07:32 1
    - ok, word. i thought it was this week, but the memory recall was failing me. -- nm - TFox Jul 14, 07:34
  - I think this is Week 1. Unsure on location, I didn't see a decision but could have missed it. - ty97 Jul 14, 07:25
- woohoo! -- nm - JaxSean Jul 14, 07:19

Oh, lovely. We are not eligible to get wedding insurance. - kelly Jul 14, 07:07 23
- That sucks....your situation is exactly why wedding insurance should exist. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jul 14, 07:15
- That really sucks -- nm - amoxy Jul 14, 07:12
- What the heck is wedding insurance? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 14, 07:09 2
  - It's something that's only available to people who don't expect they'll need it - Guigue Jul 14, 07:11
  - in case the wedding needs to be canceled for an emergency. it covers lost costs for reception, etc. -- nm - decline Jul 14, 07:11
- Try another location? - Will Hunting Jul 14, 07:09 17
  - That's not going to work - if we do that, and we need to use it, the first thing they're going to check is the date of her diagnosis. -- nm - kelly Jul 14, 07:10 16
    - Frig...okay. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 14, 07:15 2
      - I can always just say I caught you in bed with the Best Man the week prior. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 14, 07:17 1
        
        it would be more interesting if it were the Maid of Honor. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 14, 07:19
    - yep. and you don't want to be accused of fraud. -- nm - decline Jul 14, 07:12 11
      - (which is exactly what it would be) -- nm - kelly Jul 14, 07:12 10
        
        maybe you can talk to the vendors you are using? Explain the situation and see if they can accomodate/adjust their cancelation policy if needed? -- nm - decline Jul 14, 07:14 9
        
        My mother already talked to the caterer who said we'd be out the cost of the food if they've already bought it, but they can work with us on the rest. - kelly Jul 14, 07:25 7
        
        I agree with Will's friend. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 14, 07:30 5
        
        This is really odd advice, asking Will to go ahead and get married if his mother just died. - TFox Jul 14, 07:36 1
        
        this. -- nm - loosilu Jul 14, 07:40
        
        I don't. (nm) - Will Hunting Jul 14, 07:33

        yeah, I change my vote -- nm - Beaker Jul 14, 07:38
        
        or, bite the bullet, postpone, and then have a scaled down version when things settle down a little. - TFox Jul 14, 07:28
        
        that's a good idea -- nm - prayformojo Jul 14, 07:15
    - (this is a weird thread.) -- nm - JaxSean Jul 14, 07:11

- Hmm, okay, now what eats giant hogweed? -- nm - mara Jul 14, 07:10 4
  - Dinosaurs. -- nm - Loyola Jul 14, 07:11 3
    - Okay, good, good. So we need to genetically engineer some from DNA and present-day reptiles. -- nm - mara Jul 14, 07:17 2
      - Frogs, because their dna works well. And we can make them all female so they don't reproduce - decline Jul 14, 07:18 1
        
        Seriously. It seems foolproof. -- nm - mara Jul 14, 07:20

Now I want Indian Food. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 14, 06:53 31
- blech. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 14, 07:20
- Apparently it's a buffet. So I'll write down three of those things you all suggested and aim for those. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 14, 07:10 19
  - I'm not a HUGE indian food fan, but I do love chicken tikka masala. And yeah, get some naan. -- nm - kelly Jul 14, 07:26
  - a buffet is perfect. take one of everything and see what you like :) -- nm - decline Jul 14, 07:17
  - if you see choli (garbanzo beans) try that. and anything that looks spinachy. -- nm - loosilu Jul 14, 07:16 16
    - spinach? yuck. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 14, 07:19 15
      - The spinach is really good, and it's a buffet, so what have you got to lose? Also, the chole might be called channa dhal or another way. -- nm - Roger More Jul 14, 07:22 1
        
        I thought dal was lentils? -- nm - loosilu Jul 14, 07:27
      - who are you people? -- nm - loosilu Jul 14, 07:20
      - what are you, 10? - decline Jul 14, 07:20 11
        
        Can't stand cooked spinach. nas-ty. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 14, 07:21 10
        
        I love other Indian food, but I'm with you on spinach. I've tried to like it, but to me, it's just grass clippings. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 14, 07:27 7
        
        I hate that bee-yotch Rice. *gets into slapfight w/Rice on Jax's plate* -- nm - Naan Jul 14, 07:33 5
        
        I had cheese naan for lunch yesterday and it was heavenly. It's like a quesadilla handroll. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 14, 07:37 4
        
        yes it's true. I -- nm - Naan Jul 14, 07:38 3
        
        'm wonderful. -- nm - Naan Jul 14, 07:38 2
        
        I would talk dirty to Cheese Naan in a way that would make Mel's breakfast blush. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 14, 07:41 1
        
        Lay it on me, Baby. -- nm - Naan Jul 14, 08:24
        
        coolio. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 14, 07:31
        
        on second thought, just stick to the naan and rice. -- nm - loosilu Jul 14, 07:23
        
        so much for the saag....nm - x Jul 14, 07:22
- hmm... -- nm - Diva Jul 14, 07:08 3
