In PA every other commercial break contains Toomey ad that says "Sestak is Liberal!" -- nm - Dano Jul 19, 14:36 2
- I cannot recall any democrat ads smearing their opponents as a conservative. -- nm - Qale Jul 19, 14:58
- i'm glad political messages are not allowed in commercials here -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 19, 14:40
On days like today, it's a pleasure to go diving into a customer's pool to plug the main drain. refreshing -- nm - CQ Jul 19, 14:34 7
- Conversely, my main drain needs *un*plugging. nm - Dignan Jul 19, 14:40 4
  - Did you have that thing where you pee directly into your eyes first thing in the morning, too? -- nm - Max Jul 19, 14:50 3
    - No, I had that thing where I beg internet acquaintances for fellatio. nm - Dignan Jul 19, 15:00 1
      - No. -- nm - Max Jul 19, 15:03
    - the rest of us do it by accident, max -- nm - chuckles Jul 19, 14:51
- I first read this as "driving" -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 14:37 1
  - that's the BP method -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 19, 14:38
Advice, please: I just received an offer of wedding day help from my hairdresser sister-in-law. I had a falling out with my brother 2 or so yrs ago - kelly Jul 19, 14:30 31
- the less stressy choice would be not letting her do it, right? - b. Jul 19, 14:36 15
  - big time -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 14:39
  - Until my mother starts the guilt trip - yeah, probably the less stressy choice. - kelly Jul 19, 14:38 11
    - That makes it tricky. This may be indelicate but, is she a good hair stylist? I mean, if she isn't, that makes the decision easier. - musubi Jul 19, 14:40 1
      - I guess she is. - kelly Jul 19, 14:44
    - if you are leaning to letting her help, I'd suggest spending time with her ahead of the wedding. - b. Jul 19, 14:40 4
      - She'll be invited to my bridal shower...does that count? - kelly Jul 19, 14:45 2
        
        I wouldn't think so -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 14:46 1
        
        to elaborate a bit: You'll be in the same place, but your attention will be divided many ways. -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 14:48
      - This is wise advice. This could help mend things, but if it doesn't.....don't want that spillover risk. (nm) - musubi Jul 19, 14:44
    - plus, I think it is touchy to mend things with her and not your brother. -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 14:40 2
      - (I'm not asking advice on that part of it.) :) -- nm - kelly Jul 19, 14:43 1
        
        gotcha. -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 14:44
    - tell your mom you want the family to just enjoy themselves, not work on the big day. -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 14:39
  - ^workus interruptus. *nods to mus.* -- nm - b. Jul 19, 14:37 1
    - *wink* (nm) - musubi Jul 19, 14:38
- I'd thank her for the offer saying it was very sweet, but that you already have someone booked for the event. -- nm - CQ Jul 19, 14:35
- Will she be able to do the entire bridal party herself? - musubi Jul 19, 14:33 3
  - There's only 4 of us. I'm not sure if that's a lot for one person or not. -- nm - kelly Jul 19, 14:34 2
    - at my BFF's wedding ten years ago, we had one hairdresser do 6 of us. -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 14:40
    - Depends on how elaborate a hair style you want, I guess. IIRC, each party member took over an hour for hair (and makeup). - musubi Jul 19, 14:37
- i'd take advantage of the marital goodwill to help bury the hatchet, unless you dont want it buried. -- nm - TFox Jul 19, 14:33
- you know I already have a regular hair dresser and she would be disappointed if I cancelled her out -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 19, 14:33 2
  - you would be the first person voted off Survivor every time -- nm - chuckles Jul 19, 14:35 1
    - heh. - TFox Jul 19, 14:36
- is it a matter of money or is it a matter of "do i want to let her do it?" -- nm - chuckles Jul 19, 14:32 4
  - the latter. -- nm - kelly Jul 19, 14:33 3
    - Oh in that case, I'd just politely say "Thanks for the generous offer, but I already booked the hairstylist and I just want you to enjoy being there." - musubi Jul 19, 14:35 1
      - this would be the way to say no if you want to say no. -- nm - TFox Jul 19, 14:38
    - if you think she's competent enough to do it, it seems like a nice gesture that will probably build up some goodwill on their side - chuckles Jul 19, 14:34
- it is not a day to add to the " uncomfortableness" of it all - with that said - you may be so hopped on excitement you may not notice her - Epiphany Jul 19, 14:31
Jim, if you could email me in the next 20 minutes, that would be tremendous. -- nm - David Jul 19, 14:27
which is better PS3 Media Server or TVversity? the PS3 Media Server locks up on me... - Remlik Jul 19, 14:27 2

- 59 years old. -- nm - Qale Jul 19, 15:02
- holy crap - I may have to start smoking - this says I'm living to age 89 and that's just not acceptable -- nm - JenBro Jul 19, 14:42 1
  - don't worry, you won't last that long -- nm - plotting dignan si Jul 19, 14:44
- woo! Slightly more than half my life left, and I only need to lose 2.5 pounds. -- nm - ty97 Jul 19, 14:42
- 87 and if I can quit smoking for good it would be higher. -- nm - Krusty Jul 19, 14:41
- 78 - znufrii Jul 19, 14:32
- 94 (or more). My "ideal" weight for maximum longevity is: 164 lbs. bah. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 19, 14:30 2
  - toothpick! -- nm - Epiphany Jul 19, 14:32 1
    - Seriously. Their recommended weight is less than I weighed in high school. And I was *skinny*. - Dr.Vermin Jul 19, 14:44
- I could of did better without this post. -- nm - BAD Jul 19, 14:28
AFAIK, Amazon has never released Kindle device sales number, they just tout that they are 'flying off the shelves'. - ty97 Jul 19, 14:24 6
- yeah, that press release was hilarious. "triple the rate of before the price cut!" with no raw unit sales data anywhere.... - x Jul 19, 14:32 3
  - probably. i'd just like to see the hard numbers for the kindle, is all....nm - x Jul 19, 14:38 1
    - this goes down there V....nm - x Jul 19, 14:38

- Do they release their other itemized items? - JaxSean Jul 19, 14:26

- foudn any other letters in there? -- nm - marcel Jul 19, 14:31
- that's bad. I had a similar, though less embarrassing, thing happen last week. - b. Jul 19, 14:25 3
  - *shakes head sadly* - chuckles Jul 19, 14:28
  - "Well�.what if my uniform popped open and�.oops my bosoms fall out�.that would draw a crowd right?" -- nm - All the Way b. Jul 19, 14:26 1
    - "my bosoms" have been getting a lot of attention the past couple of days. ::sits up straighter:: -- nm - b. Jul 19, 14:28
- The last week of the Andie show has been awesome. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jul 19, 14:24 1
  - kinda like Ice Road Truckers, the thrills, the chills - zeitgeist Jul 19, 14:35
- now they are bound to do your bidding forever -- nm - chuckles Jul 19, 14:23
- IIRC Stephen King wrote that book already -- nm - Beaker Jul 19, 14:22
- Now twirl your hair. -- nm - Max Jul 19, 14:22 3

i can barely remember how we used to find out about movies before the internet. trailers, i guess. and shows like Siskel & Ebert - chuckles Jul 19, 14:13 9
- "coming attractions" ... we're lucky to get ONE preview in my home theatre ... how I miss the days of 5-7 -- nm - JenBro Jul 19, 14:46 1
