Nubby News Network: Damages returns for 2 more seasons...on Direct Tv... -- (link) - Remlik Jul 19, 16:16 2
- That it would return at all *really* surprises me. It definitely felt that they pretty much put a lid on things. -- nm - prayformojo Jul 19, 16:18
- Ya....FUCK! -- nm - nubby Jul 19, 16:17

- If you don't watch it, the terrorists - and women - win. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 19, 16:15

  - Music now available on iTunes! - David Jul 19, 16:09 1

- IWHT - Redmond Jul 19, 16:19
- No, you don't have to....she did...post it. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with cooler weather (not much) Jul 19, 15:49
LIR Kelly -- She is extending an olive branch. What does it cost you to accept it? -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 19, 15:33 29
- or maybe it's elaborate wedding sabotage disguised as an olive branch! -- nm - mafic Jul 19, 16:24
- I liked the advice on the backboard to spend some time with her first, or even just talk over the phone a bit. - the liioulu with cooler weather (not much) Jul 19, 15:58
- Potential scheduling problems, potential escalation of feud... what if the hairdos come out bad? What if the SiL gets sick at the last minute? - Dr.Vermin Jul 19, 15:46 12
  - not to mention risk of fights on the day. I think it's awesome that she is extending an olive branch, but why not make up outside of the wedding? -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 15:59 11
    - i would agree that if this won't happen, it could be a dicey proposition. - TFox Jul 19, 16:02 10
      - what do you mean? - kelly Jul 19, 16:04 9
        
        ok so, then, given that? i really don't see the issue. - TFox Jul 19, 16:07 8
        
        re: my brother - kelly Jul 19, 16:15 3
        
        which is why my advice is only marginally useful because i have no context for that family situation. - TFox Jul 19, 16:20
        
        Oh, you guys talked a lot during Xmas, drunky. (nm) - Will Hunting Jul 19, 16:17 1
        
        I am 100% sure this is false. - kelly Jul 19, 16:18
        
        I may be reading too much into it, but based on this, perhaps SIL helping with the wedding might cause problems for her at home? - musubi Jul 19, 16:09 3
        
        i have to assume she knows what she's getting herself into. -- nm - TFox Jul 19, 16:10 2
        
        True, but I'm just thinking that even if SIL is willing to take that risk (if there is one--I don't know) maybe kelly isn't? Again I don't know. - musubi Jul 19, 16:12 1
        
        legit, but I don't think it's for Kelly to worry about. -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 16:22
- I agree with this. -- nm - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jul 19, 15:38
- This is my thought...... -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 19, 15:36
- see below. the risk that it won't work out, close to the last minute, and kelly will be more stressed. -- nm - b. Jul 19, 15:35 11
  - Also minor risk: bad hairstyling. Maybe kelly doesn't want cornrows for her wedding picture. - musubi Jul 19, 15:54 10
    - seriously ... Kelly, if you have not seen her work *for a wedding*, I would not do it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 15:58
    - She better not. (nm) - Will Hunting Jul 19, 15:58 6
      - I would pay to see a picture of Will in cornrows. -- nm - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jul 19, 16:04 3
        
        considering the size of the terrain, he runs the risk of a farmer actually trying to harvest him. -- nm - TFox Jul 19, 16:09 2
        
        Somewhere in that extra brain pan size was the neurons that permit me to climb over seats without injury at concerts. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 19, 16:19 1
        
        its day 8. i still have a lump in my face. -- nm - TFox Jul 19, 16:23
      - *laughing* -- nm - kelly Jul 19, 16:01
      - heh -- nm - TFox Jul 19, 15:59
    - You mean Kelly does want cornrows for her wedding picture? -- nm - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jul 19, 15:54 1
      - Who wouldn't? - musubi Jul 19, 15:56
hmmm, can't find my shutter release cord thingy. crapola -- nm - CQ Jul 19, 15:30 3
- Can you fake it with the timer? -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 19, 15:34 2
  - it's an option, but I need it for a fireworks show. kind of limited with the timer -- nm - CQ Jul 19, 15:39 1
    - Customize the timer to take a burst of shots. Increases your odds of getting a useful one. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 19, 16:03

LIR to David and his tossing of multiple DVD players and VCRs. You should reconsider. How about donating to a local shelter or Boys/Girls club? Some - HdnAgnda Jul 19, 15:23 5
- I called two places (including Goodwill) before I ever posted. Nobody here wants the VCRs. The DVD players have been taken care of. -- nm - David Jul 19, 15:38 2
  - Even then, don't put it in the trash. Every municipality should have an e-waste program. - musubi Jul 19, 15:55 1
    - Huh. Just did a quick google for Knoxville and found nothing current. I guess I'm "spoiled" by all the recycling in LA. - musubi Jul 19, 16:14
- that's a great idea. -- nm - Remlik Jul 19, 15:27
- I never put electronics in the garbage. Maybe Goodwill or something. But if it works, someone can use it. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 19, 15:24
OK, so my evil loan agent is really evil, but she's also really really amazing at what she does - ceregon Jul 19, 15:22 6

  - My total (principal, interest, prop tax & insurance) will be 3400 for all three properties. - ceregon Jul 19, 15:34 1

      - I had trouble with it, too. I had to sign into the TT group and go under 'Members' to find Bery's stream. -- nm - kelly Jul 19, 15:38
    - (p.s. flickr isn't facebook. having an account there, or using a yahoo! one, isn't anywhere near as potentially issue-y.) -- nm - b. Jul 19, 15:31

  - don't be disgusting, mara, he's clearly peeking out from a cloth. -- nm - Max Jul 19, 15:19
- Hey little one! Welcome! -- nm - HdnAgnda Jul 19, 15:17
kelly, from b2 - if the shower is close to the wedding, that's not enough time. - b. Jul 19, 15:08 3
- It's about 6 weeks before the wedding. -- nm - kelly Jul 19, 15:12 2
  - I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with that, even just as a one-time advance thing. - b. Jul 19, 15:34 1
    - I'm not too worried about my bro, actually. - kelly Jul 19, 15:37
