if I have dual monitors and want to view one spreadsheet on each, is that poss? - workmanda Jul 22, 15:39 2
- Should be a matter of right clicking desktop, properts, settings, and set monitors 1 and 2 - Max Jul 22, 15:42 1
  - yeah, but individual spreadsheets. it only lets me drag all of excel. ? -- nm - workmanda Jul 22, 15:44
so as some of you may know, some people are getting together this weekend in MA. - workmanda Jul 22, 15:20 81
- my brother just got back from doing Fema Duty out there - visited some place called Authors Ridge - Thoreau, Hawthorne, Emerson, etc. all buried. - JenBro Jul 22, 15:40
- i visited plymouth rock when i was 15. it is small - chuckles Jul 22, 15:22 22
  - Nathaniel Hawthorne's house is nearby? - the liioulu with graphic novels Jul 22, 15:34 3
    - I thought that was in Salem, but I oculd be wrong. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 15:36 2
      - I think I went to both places on the same day when I was a kid. - the liioulu with graphic novels Jul 22, 15:39 1
        
        House of the Seven Gables? Salem -- nm - CovingtonCat Jul 22, 15:40
  - Sounds like my mom's experience at Gettysburg. Historically amazing, but, you know... it's just a field. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 22, 15:23 17
    - no, there's tons more going on at Gettysburg than Plymouth -- nm - chuckles Jul 22, 15:24 10
      - Many monuments, and a Cyclorama. I believe that's been recently renovated. -- nm - the liioulu with graphic novels Jul 22, 15:35 1
        
        /googles for cyclerama/ Oh, that looks cool. - Dr.Vermin Jul 22, 15:36
      - indeed, they are not in the same universe. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 15:25 4
        
        They gave out free buckets of hyperbole on your tour, eh? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 22, 15:26 3
        
        I have to tell you, this is making you look like a douche. Anyone who has been there can attest. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 15:27 2
        
        I doubt anyone else would use "another universe" because there are lines in the ground. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 22, 15:34 1
        
        yes, I am the only person who would ever say that. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 15:38
      - Perhaps she got a crappy tour. :) -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 22, 15:25 2
        
        I was dragged to a lot of Civil War sites when I was a kid, and Gettysburg has by far the most to see. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 15:25 1
        
        Oh, well that would explain it. When you were a kid, the blood was still drying, right? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 22, 15:26
    - um, you must be thinking of somewhere else. Gettysburg still has earthworks intact all over the place. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 15:24 5
      - WTF are "earthworks"? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 22, 15:24 4
        
        trenches. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 15:24 3
        
        don't you think they are being kept that way - Danedukenuuk Jul 22, 15:28 2
        
        of course they are being kept that way. so? -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 15:29 1
        
        what? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 22, 15:32
- Don't let it land on YOU! -- nm - Vermin X Jul 22, 15:22
- I would not to Plymouth and Salem on the same day. Salem is mostly crap, IMO. I would say Lake Win or seacoast. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 15:21 55
  - Also, Crane Beach is the nicest beach in the area by far. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 15:23 9
    - hello boardwalk? arcade? -- nm - workmanda Jul 22, 15:26 8
      - we need to find a dangerous beach bar where I can fight some local surfers, bra -- nm - Max Jul 22, 15:28
      - Hampton it is, then. There is also Salisbury on the MA side. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 15:26 6
        
        weirs beach on lake winnepesaukee has a boardwak and an arcade. alas, no photobooth. -- nm - workmanda Jul 22, 15:32 5
        
        I can recommend Wolfboro. Don't know if they have a photobooth. -- nm - CovingtonCat Jul 22, 15:38 3
        
        Isn't there a website somewhere that has a list of photobooths. -- nm - the liioulu with graphic novels Jul 22, 15:41 2
        
        photobooth.net -- nm - workmanda Jul 22, 15:45
        
        mandy can start one! -- nm - CovingtonCat Jul 22, 15:42
        
        okay, winnepeepee is out -- nm - Max Jul 22, 15:34
  - SALEM IT IS!!!! nm -- nm - groiny Jul 22, 15:22 44
    - bunch of bullshit witchy shops. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 15:22 43
      - no better place to be a tourist. it's so super cheesy. also, the salem willows arcade has an *awesome* photobooth. - workmanda Jul 22, 15:25 33
        
        i liked salem much better than plymouth, as i recall -- nm - chuckles Jul 22, 15:29 11
        
        I think we can do both. max, can we? how long does either really take? what's travel time? -- nm - workmanda Jul 22, 15:31 10
        
        an hour from Plymouth to Salem, but that just puts us closer to NH again. -- nm - Max Jul 22, 15:32 1
        
        my only thought is that it's sunday. what if salem closes at like five? plymouth rock is 24 hours. - workmanda Jul 22, 15:34
        
        plymouth is South Shore, Salem is NOrth Shore. depending on traffic could be long. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 15:32
        
        we drove down through plymouth, salem, and out on to the cape a lil bit all in a day -- nm - chuckles Jul 22, 15:32 6
        
        I would also love to go back to rockport, speaking of. max, don't get married! come for the whole weekend! -- nm - workmanda Jul 22, 15:34 2
        
        The one that intrigued me yesterday was Star Island, out in the ocean. It has a John Smith monument, and we could crash their conventions - Max Jul 22, 15:37
        
        Canada or bust! -- nm - Max Jul 22, 15:34
        
        on a summer weekend I would expect heavy traffic, fwiw. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 15:33 2
        
        oh well, sorry max and amanda. guess you'll just have to cancel :( -- nm - chuckles Jul 22, 15:33 1
        
        the photobooth at hampton beach sucks. we would have to drive to central mass to find another. -- nm - workmanda Jul 22, 15:36
        
        oh yeah, that's on the list -- nm - Max Jul 22, 15:27
        
        If you like it, do it. I have an intrinsic problem with turning the witch trials into a cheesy tourist industry. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 15:26 19
        
        But, but, but...there's a statute of Samantha, the Good Witch - CovingtonCat Jul 22, 15:34
        
        do you take issue with the redskins as well? it's pretty crappy, but it's commerce -- it makes the town a boatload of money - workmanda Jul 22, 15:29 14
        
        More than anything, I'm surprised the name is still there. - loosilu Jul 22, 15:31 13
        
        very little of history involves people doing nice things to each other. -- nm - Reagen Jul 22, 15:35 12
        
        so you'd be cool with a massacre theme park somewhere? - loosilu Jul 22, 15:37 7
        
        the name of the biggest theme park company in the US is about how many people fought wars in Texas. -- nm - Reagen Jul 22, 15:40 1
        
        that's not an answer to the question. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 15:43
        
        They should re-open the Colosseum -- nm - Roger More in the UK Jul 22, 15:40 1
        
        I have a Sex Pistols earworm from your handle. -- nm - Reagen Jul 22, 15:41
        
        Like Gettysburg? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 22, 15:39 2
        
        Gettysburg is the furthest thing from a theme park. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 15:40 1
        
        IT'S LIKE ANOTHER DIMENSION! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 22, 15:47
        
        there's just not enough free ice cream in history. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 22, 15:36 1
        
        Marie Antoinette agrees -- nm - Roger More in the UK Jul 22, 15:38
        
        *ding.* nm - workmanda Jul 22, 15:36 1
        
        are you doing it in papier mach� or popsicle sticks -- nm - zork Jul 22, 15:38
        
        did you lose a relative to a witch trial? - groiny Jul 22, 15:27 2
        
        Let's just say loosi weighs the same as a duck. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 22, 15:35 1
        
        Uhm, no, we said if you say the wrong thing to loosi, duck! -- nm - the liioulu with graphic novels Jul 22, 15:38
      - I would totally love that -- nm - Epiphany Jul 22, 15:25 8
        
        the groin and the pip are right. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 22, 15:26 4
        
        I really do think. can you guys convince maxine when he shows back up? -- nm - workmanda Jul 22, 15:27 3
        
        I'm in! -- nm - Max Jul 22, 15:29 1
        
        I could not tell. nm -- nm - max's date Jul 22, 15:29
        
        you are the one with the vagina - groiny Jul 22, 15:28
        
        *buys pippy a pair of hemlock squirrel covers* nm -- nm - groiny Jul 22, 15:25 2
        
        can we smoke them when I get lit on fire by the mob?? - Epiphany Jul 22, 15:27 1
        
        come on baby light my fire. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 22, 15:28

- That's the right move, I feel. -- nm - Mop (218 lbs) Jul 22, 15:26
LIR: won a $100 GC for Old Spaghetti Factory yesterday, not quite injury but been having chest pains lately - zork Jul 22, 15:18 2
- how scary regardless - glad the tests were normal -- nm - Epiphany Jul 22, 15:42
- are you anxious about something that it might be an anxiety thing? -- nm - JenBro Jul 22, 15:35
[deleted] 7
- I tend to disagree. If so... - Dr.Vermin Jul 22, 15:21 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - Yeah, it's certainly possible. But... - Dr.Vermin Jul 22, 15:32 1
      - [deleted]
- don't care -- nm - chuckles Jul 22, 15:15 2
  - pixie and his bitterness are my favorite fights. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 22, 15:23 1

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! -- nm - Reagen Jul 22, 15:13 2
- *disallows hockey playing on B1* -- nm - zork Jul 22, 15:19
- Shut it, you! -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 22, 15:13
I like when artists understand and celebrate their best bits. Fare thee well, Scott Pilgrim. -- nm - David Jul 22, 14:56
do we know about Alikewise? dating site that lets you match by your favorite book?? -- (link) - chuckles Jul 22, 14:53 11
- dammit, no matches on "being and nothingness"....nm - x Jul 22, 15:21 1
  - lots of Danielle Steel though, i bet -- nm - chuckles Jul 22, 15:23
- I don't know that I want to match with chicks whose favorite book is 1984 -- nm - con_carne Jul 22, 14:55 8
  - This, exactly. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 15:22
  - I so don't want to date a dude who reads atwood. -- nm - workmanda Jul 22, 15:21 1
    - Oryx and Crake affected me so much. That will definitely be a reread one day. -- nm - con_carne Jul 22, 15:25
  - Yeah, this is the problem with recommendation systems, mostly. They don't often account for inverse relationships. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 22, 15:00 3
    - Hmm. What if there was a way for you to find opposites? What would be the opposite of... Heart of Darkness? :) -- nm - con_carne Jul 22, 15:27 2
      - I don't want an opposite, I want a complement. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 15:36 1
        
        your hair looks nice today -- nm - zork Jul 22, 15:40
  - "your search for 'Twilight' returned 1,094,786 results" -- nm - chuckles Jul 22, 14:59
Sandra/Jesse... that *is* a tough one. - Dr.Vermin Jul 22, 14:43 30
- She is gonna have to hire a "body guard" to be with him 24/7. - Black Rabbit Jul 22, 14:47 28
  - *sleeps with bodyguard* -- nm - Jesse James Jul 22, 14:52
  - Respectfully, your IM is ridiculous. - Dr.Vermin Jul 22, 14:51 25
    - Ok, if he even jammed *half* as much as we are lead to believe, it is shattered. - Black Rabbit Jul 22, 14:53 23
      - it was ludicrous with tiger too. just because the divorce happened doesn't make it less so. -- nm - TFox Jul 22, 14:55 22
        
        Actually, it does. - Black Rabbit Jul 22, 14:57 21
        
        the best part of relationships is how simple and cookie-cutter they are. - TFox Jul 22, 14:59 20
        
        thing is, how sorry can you be if you banged a small continent??? - groiny Jul 22, 15:01 19
        
        (the phrasing here is hysterical.) -- nm - workmanda Jul 22, 15:17 1
        
        word. I prefer mid-sized continents. - Black Rabbit Jul 22, 15:18
        
        i assume sandra would know better than i. -- nm - TFox Jul 22, 15:04 8
        
        this is just silly..... - groiny Jul 22, 15:07 7
        
        again, why i love love is how easily it is manipulated by logic and perception. -- nm - TFox Jul 22, 15:08 6
        
        so, if it comes out that Mrs Fox has strayed with a dozen different people.... - groiny Jul 22, 15:10 5
        
        but to answer your bullshit query, i would stay with her because i love her and i promised her i would. - TFox Jul 22, 15:15 2
        
        Hmm. Don't know many that would do the same. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 22, 15:17
        
        why is it bullshit? - groiny Jul 22, 15:16
        
        do not presume to throw my wife and child in my face, sir. -- nm - TFox Jul 22, 15:11 1
        
        why not, it is a simple question, with direct relevance to the issue at hand. - groiny Jul 22, 15:13
        
        maybe the PR concerns are secondary. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 22, 15:04 6
        
        one can only hope. -- nm - TFox Jul 22, 15:04 5
        
        What's sad is how messed up Janine sounds. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 22, 15:06
        
        certainly not the only reason for not going back, just one of many. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 22, 15:05 3
        
        if the perception even enters the picture, the whole thing was a sham from the get go. -- nm - TFox Jul 22, 15:07 2
        
        like it or not, she was a figure for scorned women everywhere. - groiny Jul 22, 15:08
        
        Yeah, she got her Oscar, so she can just quit now. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 22, 15:08

I have a poll: Do you think you're more careful with other people's property, or your own? Say if you borrowed or rented a car. - Max Jul 22, 14:43 15
- I bet Leno thinks every car he owns is "his" and I also bet he restored maybe 1/10 of them with his own hands. -- nm - TWuG Jul 22, 14:58 1
  - I think he may be right about the first part. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 15:12
- I don't think cars are a typical kind of property, especially for people like Leno/people who love speed -- nm - con_carne Jul 22, 14:48 2
  - "people who love speed" aka guys. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 22, 14:50 1
    - and lindsay lohan. - Beryllium Jul 22, 14:56
- Once I am used to something new, equal. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 22, 14:48
- I'm not careless with my own, but I'm certainly extra diligent about other's stuff -- nm - ty97 Jul 22, 14:48
- I'm with you. I treat other's stuff more carefully. Though I also agree with Leno. - Dr.Vermin Jul 22, 14:46 2
  - Jeremy Clarkson interviewed: "Here's the thing about muscle cars: they look great, they sound great, but they're *crap.* The handling is crap." - Max Jul 22, 14:49 1
    - As was evident when they came to America on Top Gear and went to the salt flats. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 22, 14:51
- I'm more careful with borrowed, less with rented and company vehicles. -- nm - mafic Jul 22, 14:46
- I'm just careful, period. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 22, 14:44
- I have a pole too - groiny Jul 22, 14:44
- i'm renting a car for OBX next week. i'll let you know -- nm - chuckles Jul 22, 14:44 1
