Sanders on the local news refudiated reports that he will retire, showed video of him at training camp. Said he's having a good camp so far - Remlik Jul 30, 14:56
I keep forgetting the one langauge can't speak is Spanish. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with extra bag Jul 30, 14:55 3
- ..langauge that Michael Westin can't... *sigh* -- nm - the liioulu with extra bag Jul 30, 14:59
- porque? -- nm - JenBro Jul 30, 14:56 1
  - Mmmmm, pork. (nm) - musubi Jul 30, 14:58
Oh, look a that. I'm going to the Bay Area for work later this month. -- nm - ty97 Jul 30, 14:46 4
- Do you mean the rest of July or August? - amoxy Jul 30, 14:57 1
  - Ha! My brain is apparently already in August. - ty97 Jul 30, 14:59
- poor b. :( -- nm - chuckles Jul 30, 14:47 1
  - Rome marathon! -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 14:49
If you have kids but you receive an invitation to a party/wedding/whatever that has just you and your spouse's names on it, do you assume your kids - kelly Jul 30, 14:35 32
- We had one couple who should have known better not know better. Otherwise, people got it. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 30, 14:50
- I would assume not, especially if the kid's name(s) aren't on the invitation, or it didn't say "Conover Family" or something. nmbkelly - JaxSean Jul 30, 14:50 2
  - wow. - kelly Jul 30, 14:53 1
    - yep - us too. :) -- nm - Diva Jul 30, 15:17
- I would assume kids are not included. -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 14:48
- no but someone always seems to. -- nm - TFox Jul 30, 14:42
- I think you should assume not (it would be addressed to the family if it were intended that way), but people sometimes seem to assume they're included -- nm - pmb Jul 30, 14:41 3
  - Yup. This is why we included the seating note. The best was one friend who scratched out the "1" we wrote in and wrote in "2" himself. - musubi Jul 30, 14:44 2
    - ugh. -- nm - Diva Jul 30, 15:17
    - I think this is a lot of it. Some people are just clueless. -- nm - Reagen Jul 30, 14:47
- No. The names on the invitation indicate who's invited. -- nm - the liioulu with extra bag Jul 30, 14:41
- For a formal event, I assume not. (nm) - musubi Jul 30, 14:38 17
  - FWIW, for our wedding we had little notes for people we were inviting saying, "We've reserved __ seat(s) for you." - musubi Jul 30, 14:39 16
    - I don't think it's going to be a huge issue since most people knew we weren't inviting kids - but I know of one person who sent the response card back - kelly Jul 30, 14:48 14
      - Some won't be. I know of people who have had issues with it. I had one guest who responded that he was bringing kids which we weren't expecting. - pmb Jul 30, 14:53
      - Most people just don't know. It's good she asked. (nm) - musubi Jul 30, 14:51 9
        
        it is. i kinda like this chick. i might flirt with her a little at the reception. -- nm - TFox Jul 30, 14:53 8
        
        She's certainly flirt-worthy. -- nm - kelly Jul 30, 14:54 7
        
        awesome. i posted that and instantly thought "she's going to be insano-huge." -- nm - TFox Jul 30, 14:55 6
        
        My brother would never go for 'insano-huge'. She's a pretty blonde with a huge rack. -- nm - kelly Jul 30, 14:56 5
        
        crap. she can't be too cute or shefox will get pissed. - TFox Jul 30, 14:58 2
        
        Wuss. You should nail her on the table in front of kel's bro and shefox to establish your dominance. (nm) - musubi Jul 30, 14:59 1
        
        this is Tfox. he'll sit meekly at the table and fetch drinks for SheFox. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 15:00
        
        Is this the hairdresser? (nm) - musubi Jul 30, 14:57 1
        
        yes. -- nm - kelly Jul 30, 14:57
      - this is on the list of seemingly unavoidable wedding problems. someone always effs it up. -- nm - TFox Jul 30, 14:50
      - Tell them you can find a babysitter to handle any kid they bring. - the liioulu with extra bag Jul 30, 14:50 1
        
        absolutely not. - kelly Jul 30, 14:55
    - that seems smart. -- nm - TFox Jul 30, 14:43
- Personally, I assume not. When we were doing our invitations, we made sure to specify the full family size as best we could. - Beryllium Jul 30, 14:37
- i would assume unless the invitation expressly stated that the party was adults only -- nm - chuckles Jul 30, 14:36 1
  - ^what this says. Just in case. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 14:38
mel news network: 3 great white sharks sighted off the cape -- (link) - chuckles Jul 30, 14:34 4
- Apparently there was a Great White sighting at the mouth of the Merrimack as well. -- (link) - loosilu Jul 30, 14:49 1
  - mandy, swim there -- nm - chuckles Jul 30, 14:51
- must mean it's "shark week" (gasp) -- nm - JenBro Jul 30, 14:48

Who gets arrested for PI at 2pm? -- nm - ty97 Jul 30, 14:33 3
- PI should be at 3:14:16, obvie. (nm) - musubi Jul 30, 14:34
- you mean Tau? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 30, 14:34
- people from the Jersey Shore! -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 14:34
it's RAINING!! -- nm - peglegpete Jul 30, 14:30
heh, wife is catching up on SYTYCD ... that American Idol slipup was amusing -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 14:29

  - if you really knew me? - chuckles Jul 30, 14:33
Is Facebook's 'Home' page messed up for anyone else? There's no difference on mine between 'Most Recent' and 'Top News.' -- nm - JaxSean Jul 30, 14:21 7
- I only have like 10 posts total in my feed. All the older ones are gone. Some I saw earlier are no longer there. - Krusty Jul 30, 14:41
- same here the mess is from the frends you have and their crazy news :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 30, 14:27
- mine went back to "Most Recent" thank god. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 14:23 3
  - oops. I spoke to soon, It was back yesterday and today, but it looks like they implemented a change today.... -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 14:25 2
    - what did they change? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 30, 14:28 1
      - well now my feed is just friends. and 20 minutes ago it was friends + comingsoon, Superherophype and other news feeds. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 14:30
- I think it's yet another change - only implemented on a small number of accounts. -- nm - kelly Jul 30, 14:22
ML, that post on B2 with Rep. Weiner screaming is fantastic. I love him more every day. And there's no way you're going to stop a NYer from talking - Krusty Jul 30, 14:20 4
- [deleted]
- That was Peter King trying to talk over him? He should know better. -- nm - Krusty Jul 30, 14:23 2
  - you don't go through life with the last name of weiner without knowing how to shut someone up. - Mel Profit Jul 30, 14:27 1
    - Word. I don't care where you're from, with that last name you learn to stand up for yourself quickly. - Krusty Jul 30, 14:34
Oh goodie. The Kids Are Alright is playing at the local theater. I would love to see this movie. - kelly Jul 30, 14:19 1
- every time I see this title, all I think about are The Who -- nm - peglegpete Jul 30, 14:30
liioulu, you are up in our Conquer Club game -- nm - amoxy Jul 30, 14:18 3
- done -- nm - the liioulu with extra bag Jul 30, 14:26
- Also, there's 2 other games that need just 1 more player - 7381023 and 7381025 - Will Hunting Jul 30, 14:20 1
  - Good thing I could remember that password. ;) - the liioulu with extra bag Jul 30, 14:28
haha - Snooki arrested for being drunk in public -- (link) - Andie Jul 30, 14:16 1
- It's Obama's fault -- nm - Guigue Jul 30, 14:19
Dumb question: The HBO show Hung...what is it about? - Will Hunting Jul 30, 14:12 4
- One would assume about a guy who's hung. Like a horse. - JaxSean Jul 30, 14:15 1
  - And is a male prostitute. - the liioulu with extra bag Jul 30, 14:16
- Weeds with porn. -- nm - Reagen Jul 30, 14:14
- from Wikipedia: - kelly Jul 30, 14:14
Lance Berkman held out of HOU starting lineup. Hmmmm..... (nm) - musubi Jul 30, 14:11 22
- Introducing your Houston Astros....Please pay special attention since you don't know any of them! -- nm - David Jul 30, 14:15 1
  - Hey, I resent that rem....actually, no you're right. (nm) - Micheal Bourn Jul 30, 14:30
- WFAN mentioning that a trade to the Yankees imminent. -- nm - Tim Jul 30, 14:12 19
  - ESPN radio had the same report just a minute ago. Guess it's just about a done deal. -- nm - Krusty Jul 30, 14:13 18
    - [deleted] 17
      - Reports are that Dunn is going to the White Sox. Not sure why the Yanks want Berkman, he's not much of player these days. -- nm - Krusty Jul 30, 14:21 16
        
        He can still get on base. Also, a lefty in Yankee stadium, he's likely to hit for a bit more power too. - musubi Jul 30, 14:29 13
        
        Neither guy works for me. I don't think Berkman is going to do much getting only a handful of at bats a week and Dunn can only DH - Krusty Jul 30, 14:37
        
        [deleted] 11
        
        Granderson has been pretty much as advertised....he still can't hit lefties. (nm) - musubi Jul 30, 14:32 10
        
        he's having a subpar year. -- nm - TFox Jul 30, 14:47 2
        
        I misspoke, my bad, He's not been as good as he has in the past. More teams are taking advantage of his platoon splits. - musubi Jul 30, 14:56
        
        [deleted]
        
        [deleted] 6
        
        Uh, yeah. (nm) - musubi Jul 30, 14:40 5

        BAvg is stone ages man. He's got a .279/ .359/ .529 line. that's killin' it. (nm) - musubi Jul 30, 15:00 1
        
        Err, his line against RHP, that is. (nM) - musubi Jul 30, 15:01
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Ah. Yeah, his power numbers aren't what you'd like, but they're not terrible, considering he missed time to injury. - musubi Jul 30, 14:48
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I doubt they're giving up anyone good for him. I was expecting them to take care of the pen before a hitter. We need another arm out there. - Krusty Jul 30, 14:38
so ... my brother barely gets back to Arizona from working in Conn. for FEMA and now he's flying to Ill/Wisc for their storms last week - JenBro Jul 30, 13:56 3
- what does he do for them exactly?? -- nm - workmanda Jul 30, 14:10 1
  - He's an inspector - when disaster area declared - he gets the applicants for inspection - has to verify and process their claim/application. -- nm - JenBro Jul 30, 14:53

TFox alert: Amazon is giving a sneak peek at the August $5 Albums early. Over 1,000 albums priced at $5: -- (link) - JaxSean Jul 30, 13:55 14
- I recommend A Fine Frenzy and La Roux -- nm - JD Jul 30, 16:57
- Some good greatest hits and compilations. -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Jul 30, 14:45
- that Bad Lieutant cd is quite good, it's by a chunk of the New Order guys. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 14:02 1
  - Memory Almost Full by McCartney is pretty good as well. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 14:04
- oh good lord, 1,000?! this is awesome/awful. -- nm - TFox Jul 30, 13:58 9
  - Yeah, I've found at least 4 that I'm going to buy. August might be an expensive mp3 month. (Glad I waited for the newest Chevelle.) - JaxSean Jul 30, 14:09 1
    - I'm counting $25-30 off the rip, and I'm sure I'll talk myself into more. - TFox Jul 30, 14:12
  - (new Rick Ross and new Roots being on there is friggin great. $5 Stankonia and Midnight Marauders, if any crazy person doesn't own those.) -- nm - TFox Jul 30, 14:03 6
    - Chemical Brothers Exit Planet Dust is on there. That's a great album. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 30, 14:11 4
      - And The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) by Limp Bizkit. - JaxSean Jul 30, 14:12 3
        
        Two 311 albums! - TFox Jul 30, 14:13 2
        
        One of them is a greatest hits, so wouldn't that negate the other? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 30, 14:14 1
        
        It came out far before Uplifter, so zero overlap. Everyone can breathe easy. -- nm - TFox Jul 30, 14:16
    - (also, virtually every Pixar score.) -- nm - TFox Jul 30, 14:05

"IceCube's findings on cosmic rays are detailed in a paper published Aug. 1 in the Astrophysical Journal Letters." -- (link) - Dano Jul 30, 13:53 4
- And what's not commonly known is that Dre's "Dr" comes from his PhD in evolutionary biology. -- nm - Reagen Jul 30, 13:56 2
  - And who do you think is the Drake behind Drake's Equation? -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 14:05 1
    - uncle Ludwig! -- nm - Donald Duck Jul 30, 14:08
- I guess it was a good day to get published. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 13:55
Anyone watch Project Runway? thoughts? spoils. - loosilu Jul 30, 13:50 5
- Andy South impressed me, he is 23, but it is too early to tell if he is a 'boy wonder' or not - peglegpete Jul 30, 13:56 3
  - which is he? -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 14:00 2
    - He did the 3 piece black outfit -- nm - peglegpete Jul 30, 14:07

Looks like Jordan Zimmermann is pitching at the Senators game tomorrow night. And next weekend is Strasburg bobblehead giveaway. -- nm - Dano Jul 30, 13:46 1
- I didn't expect Zimmermann to pitch at all this year. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 30, 13:51
Moose, I just read, Harrington did end up cashing in and making a million+. - Will Hunting Jul 30, 13:45 1
- True. He did end up cashing some mystery amount of money from that policy. Not quite the way Harper wants to go, I'm sure. - musubi Jul 30, 13:57
LIR: Dr Vermin. Snuggie + JK Dance video = gold -- nm - oblique Jul 30, 13:45
from b2 re Work of Art: agreed that Miles is a douchebag. -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 13:45 8
- Especially this week. -- nm - the liioulu with extra bag Jul 30, 13:51 7
  - Jackie is so eager to take off her clothes, it was like shooting fish in a fishbowl. -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 14:01 6
    - Yep, and she didn't even realize she wasn't in control. -- nm - the liioulu with extra bag Jul 30, 14:07 5
      - she's actually a decent artist, but her lack of self awareness is kinda sad. -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 14:11 4
        
        And he's got nothing more than a good line of BS. - the liioulu with extra bag Jul 30, 14:15 3
        
        I wouldn't go that far. He knows how to play to the audience, but there is some substance. -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 14:27 2
        
        Not as much as he says there is. -- nm - the liioulu with extra bag Jul 30, 14:29 1
        
        true. -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 14:33
