    - Antonio Gates is a great tight end, but long past being influential. (nm) - musubi Oct 26, 09:11

I pay $7.95/mo for my web hosting. Is there something cheaper? - sycor Oct 26, 08:57 2
- You can probably get free hosting somewhere, but you get what you pay for. - Mop (221 lbs) Oct 26, 09:08 1
  - not looking for free. Just something maybe a little cheaper. I might switch to GoDaddy. They are a little cheaper it seems. -- nm - sycor Oct 26, 09:11

  - I'm sure there's a few guys up on the towers today. -- nm - Remlik Oct 26, 09:03
  - DO NOT WANT. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 26, 09:02
- If that's the same video that made the rounds a couple weeks ago...it's WAY more intense than anything on TV or in movies right now. - Jim Oct 26, 08:57 1
  - I believe it is. yeah I had to look away a few times. -- nm - Remlik Oct 26, 08:59
UK and European STers: Take That is touring -- (link) - MDH Oct 26, 08:55 1

So yesterday afternoon I found myself at the childrens' ED with my son who closed the car door on his right pointer finger. And I was witness to it. - HdnAgnda Oct 26, 08:55 7
- My daughter did this "on my watch" one time. Thankfully her's wasn't as bad as it sounds your son's was, but that was horrible enough. - JaxSean Oct 26, 09:09
- oof. that sounds blowy. -- nm - TFox Oct 26, 09:00 1
  - I was really glad to have the first aid kit in the bathroom drawer because I needed and wanted that sterile gauze. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 26, 09:01
- poor little guy (and poor daddy.) -- nm - Andie Oct 26, 08:58
- Hope he heals up quick! Glad he's okay. -- nm - MDH Oct 26, 08:56
- Awww, sorry to hear. That must have been very stressful for you both. Speedy finger-recovery wishes. :) -- nm - Don Homer Oct 26, 08:56 1
  - My mind went to the extreme. I thought for sure there would be no more sports this year and he would have to learn to write with his left hand in - HdnAgnda Oct 26, 08:59
the sport of ferret-legging: The male-only contestants put live ferrets inside their trousers; the winner is the one who is the last to release it -- (link) - crash davis Oct 26, 08:53 4
- the sport of chess boxing - yep, it is a hybrid described accurately in its title -- (link) - crash davis Oct 26, 08:56
- The sport is said to involve very little "native skill",[5] simply an ability to "have your tool bitten and not care". -- nm - amoxy Oct 26, 08:55 1
  - "offers a glimpse into the human need to challenge the edges of human endurance" - thats not how I think of endurance, but oh well -- nm - crash davis Oct 26, 08:59

Snapple fun fact #3: Did you know that a group of geese on the ground is a gaggle and a group of geese in the air is a skein? - Jim Oct 26, 08:51 7
- (How many snapples do you drink in a day?) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 26, 08:52 4
  - 3 or 4 and he saves the evening onesto share with us during the day. It's all in the backboards. -- nm - TWuG Oct 26, 08:54 3
    - he stopped drinking pop, he has to drink something dammit! -- nm - Beaker Oct 26, 08:55 2
      - Ah, I understand that. - Beryllium Oct 26, 09:00
      - This is what I'm saying! :) -- nm - Jim Oct 26, 08:55
- I might not have got it right on an open-ended question, but multiple choice yes. :) -- nm - Don Homer Oct 26, 08:52

Mel. I was with you for a while on the search thing. But once you start needing to have items stored in two folders, it makes 100% sense - kilbooooo Oct 26, 08:44 33
- It's me. - Mel Profit Oct 26, 08:48 32
  - I leave everything in my inbox and just search. "in:inbox has:attachment from:mel" -- nm - JaxSean Oct 26, 08:52 1
    - *head explodes* -- nm - mel si Oct 26, 08:53
  - a tag *is* a folder though. - Reagen Oct 26, 08:51 27
    - that's my other point. - Mel Profit Oct 26, 08:55 26
      - It's different because the email is in the cloud and Google saves space by tagging items instead - TWuG Oct 26, 08:59
      - The best example I can give is: I have an 'Online Orders' label for receipts and stuff, and an 'Obscure Company' label for charity stuff. - TFox Oct 26, 08:58 4
        
        I would love to have this functionality at work -- nm - znufrii Oct 26, 09:02 3
        
        You can use Outlook categories for similar functionality -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 26, 09:05 1
        
        yep. And you can use search folders to create the label-style folder for it. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 26, 09:06
        
        *tags a single e-mail "MLB Improvement", "Needed Government Reform", "Opera Reviews", and "Action Needed"; archives* -- nm - znufrii si Oct 26, 09:05
      - Theory is because items can be in multiple folders/categories -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 26, 08:56 19
        
        exactly. All of my incoming strata-related email is auto-tagged as "Strata", and then I can manually tag it as "action needed" if it requires action -- nm - Beryllium Oct 26, 08:58 1
        
        (And then I have a very short label page for Action Needed items, and I remove that label as they are completed) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 26, 09:01
        
        which forces you to search which is what Google wants you to do as it reinforces the search mentality... - Mel Profit Oct 26, 08:58 16
        
        I'm actually having a hard time picturing how you're looking at folders/labels after reading this. -- nm - TFox Oct 26, 09:03 11
        
        I want to be left on the side of the road to die of obsolesces apparently. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 26, 09:04 10
        
        Once you figure out labels you'll wonder why you stuck with folders. - TWuG Oct 26, 09:12
        
        You're my boy, Blue! -- nm - Reagen Oct 26, 09:08
        
        If you picture folders as buckets, and labels as a Venn diagram where the buckets overlap (but you can still look in each bucket like you used to)... - TFox Oct 26, 09:07 6
        
        I'll give it a try. It can't be any worse than what I have with gmail to begin with. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 26, 09:10 5
        
        First frigging question.. - Mel Profit Oct 26, 09:14 4
        
        Tags are labels, I believe. This is how I do it: go to Settings, Set up a number of Labels (think of it as a folder), then go to Filter and create a - JaxSean Oct 26, 09:20
        
        Here: Follow the steps in this link to create your first label. -- (link) - TWuG Oct 26, 09:17 [Backboard]
        
        tag = label (nm) - musubi Oct 26, 09:17 1
        
        is it commonly referred to as a tag or is that an ST thing? - Mel Profit Oct 26, 09:18
        
        I do like folders, and I'm not saying that the gmail interface is the be-all/end-all of interfaces, but it has uses. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 26, 09:07
        
        No more so than going to a folder on the left ....i just go to a label on the side and boom, there's everything -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 26, 08:59
        
        What he said. It's all hotlinked on the left. -- nm - Reagen Oct 26, 08:59
        
        huh? No, my labels are in a list on the left. No search needed. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 26, 08:59 1
        
        Yep. Click the Tag and up come all the messages with that tag. If you have that list of tags it works - TWuG Oct 26, 09:01
  - the number of times I have to find something in gmail is slim to none. - Beryllium Oct 26, 08:51
  - I label every piece of mail that comes through my inbox. You can do that manually - TWuG Oct 26, 08:50

  - That includes us too, right? -- nm - Unions Oct 26, 09:06
  - No....we don't think they need to know anything of the sort. -- nm - corporations and special interests Oct 26, 08:49
