- Well, if you wake up, of course the dream will end -- nm - con_carne Dec 16, 11:58
- sure. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 11:58
- I'm not sure your time perception is all that reliable in that instance, but kind of (not that vivid or detailed). -- nm - mara Dec 16, 11:58
- I'm sure I have. -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 11:56

LIR NY Soda Tax: I would agree if it was drink with corn syrup. Try to promote using real sugar, still not healthy but better then CS. -- nm - lileve Dec 16, 11:47 15
- Mmm... real sugar. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 16, 11:53
- except that real sugar is imported and corn is grown in the country -- nm - zork Dec 16, 11:50 5
  - Actually, sugar cane is grown in Florida and they have effectively kept imports heavily taxed, keeping sugar prices artificially high. -- nm - TWuG Dec 16, 11:53 3
    - [deleted] 1
      - I saw the cane there! -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 11:58
    - and I'm sure the midwest corn lobby isn't at all displeased with that either. -- nm - znufrii Dec 16, 11:55
  - f*ck you too, buddy! -- nm - Hawaiian sugar farmers Dec 16, 11:51
- hmm. I don't think there's any difference. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 11:49 7
  - One is fructose, the other is sucrose. Both sugars, but not the same. -- nm - TWuG Dec 16, 11:54 6
    - but similar enough that it would be no difference to your body. kinda like drinking gasoline or naptha would give the same result. -- nm - zork Dec 16, 11:56 5
      - oh, if it's fructose and sucrose, your body treats them completely differently. but I don't think it is fructose in either case. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 12:00
      - I've read that there are studies which claim this is not the case, that your body does process the two very differently. - znufrii Dec 16, 11:57 3
        
        I believe corn syrup is in fact sucrose, so there is no difference. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 11:59 1
        
        I believe the distinction I'm thinking of was between sugar and high fructose corn syrup, in particular. - znufrii Dec 16, 12:02
        
        There are studies that show that there's no difference too. I think it's very inconclusive at this point. -- nm - pmb Dec 16, 11:58
SheFox came through: Jacen's first picture with Santa. -- (link) - TFox Dec 16, 11:45 18
- so cute. -- nm - Diva Dec 16, 12:01
- super cute! -- nm - kare Dec 16, 11:52
- That Santa is very creepy -- nm - oblique Dec 16, 11:51 2
  - *laughing* I was thinking the same thing. - JaxSean Dec 16, 11:57 1
    - "Bad touch! BAD TOUCH!!!" -- nm - nubby (good guy good class bad jokes) Dec 16, 11:59
- That kid of yours is so effin' adorable. -- nm - kelly Dec 16, 11:50
- Aww, I wonder if my mom still has my first picture with Santa. I had like a 104 degree fever at the time. -- nm - Danonezer Scrooge Dec 16, 11:48 1
  - I have one and only one pic. I was bawling. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 11:48
- that's a great pic -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 16, 11:46 6
  - I wasn't sure how many we were going to buy (total racket, Santa pics), but it came out so good, I had to get one of the bigger packages. - TFox Dec 16, 11:49 5
    - We're horrible--we buy one and then scan it. But this year, he started crying and I just told the photographer to not even shoot. -- nm - Amy Dec 16, 11:54 3
      - I thought about that, but the way they had it priced, it didn't even seem worth the effort. -- nm - TFox Dec 16, 11:56 2
        
        Ours was like $15 for one, $30 for two... -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 16, 12:01 1
        
        Our thing was $40 for 2 5x7s, 4 3x5s, 8 wallets, the image on CD, and a douchey stuffed polar bear for Jacen. - TFox Dec 16, 12:03
    - heh, so true -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 16, 11:51
- adorable. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 11:46

Police say 1981 murder of Adam Walsh has been solved... -- (link) - Remlik Dec 16, 11:42 30
- [deleted] 3
  - that's crazy. there must be new evidence. maybe DNA? -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 12:01 1
    - Not necessarily (and highly unlikely on the DNA). Could just be a different DA, with a more lenient way of thinking. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 16, 12:03
  - i never knew that about the 17 year old security guard asking a group of kids to leave. - El Fandie Dec 16, 11:55
- holy cow. I remember my parents telling me to be extra careful after that story broke in FL. crazy -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 16, 11:45 7
  - hmph. My parents just let me keep donig my paper route. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 11:45 6
    - that should tell you something. -- nm - Remlik Dec 16, 11:50 3
      - Geez. -- nm - nubby (good guy good class bad jokes) Dec 16, 11:57 2
        
        you're right. That was mean spirited. Sorry Lucie. Truly. -- nm - Remlik Dec 16, 11:59 1
        
        no problems, we're good. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 12:02
    - I think it was more close to home for us being that we lived in south Florida -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 16, 11:47 1
      - I have a theory they were hoping. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 11:48
- Aaaaand I'm done. -- nm - John Walsh SI Dec 16, 11:45
- wow. but I don't like the word "solved". doesn't that imply there's no arrest? -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 11:45 14
  - "Police will name deceased drifter Ottis Toole, a convicted pedophile who died in prison in 1996, as the boy's suspected killer, a law enforcement - mara Dec 16, 11:50 5
    - Was he killed by another inmate? Does anyone know? -- nm - David Dec 16, 11:55 4
      - wiki says liver failure -- nm - Don Homer Dec 16, 11:57

        [deleted] 1
        
        Yes, you are, but that's not the point. ;) -- nm - Don Homer Dec 16, 12:02
  - perhaps. There's gonna be a press conference -- nm - Remlik Dec 16, 11:49
  - Wouldn't there be a statute of limitations? -- nm - con_carne Dec 16, 11:46 2
    - don't you watch Cold Case? not for murder. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 11:47
    - No. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 16, 11:46
  - Maybe an arrest is not possible. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 16, 11:45 1
    - [deleted]
  - ...or rather, that the killer is dead and there can be no arrest. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 11:45 1
    - Hopefully it was slow and painful. -- nm - nubby (good guy good class bad jokes) Dec 16, 11:45
- wow. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 16, 11:45
- That's fantastic news if it's true. -- nm - nubby (good guy good class bad jokes) Dec 16, 11:44

  - Same here. -- nm - kelly Dec 16, 11:42
LYC: So it looks like I'll be taking my son to his first Pokemon trading card tournament in January - oblique Dec 16, 11:36 12
- "old card's that aren't allowed" why? -- nm - lileve Dec 16, 11:41 6
  - They do this in Magic too. Only allow the most current sets so that they can keep the power of the combinations that emerge in check. -- nm - TFox Dec 16, 11:42 3
    - I really need to find my old Magic cards. I wonder if any are worth anything -- nm - oblique Dec 16, 11:44 2
      - I got rid of mine just over 10 years ago. - znufrii Dec 16, 11:58
      - I'm sure some of them are. Some of my old staples are still fetching ok money on eBay. - TFox Dec 16, 11:46
  - I'm not sure the specific reasons but they generally allow only the past 10 or so "releases" of the cards. Maybe it's just so they get more money or - oblique Dec 16, 11:42 1
    - it's a mix of both. -- nm - Remlik Dec 16, 11:44
- oh you poor bastard. - Remlik Dec 16, 11:37 4
  - this is sad. -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 16, 11:42
  - There were two accusations of that Saturday at our local weekly organized play. I'm going to be like a hawk. He has a few that are worthwhile - oblique Dec 16, 11:38 2
    - bring only what you need. It was murder when I ran Pokemon tourneys back in the day. In the space of 4 hours I'd made $900 though. -- nm - Remlik Dec 16, 11:41
    - unless he plans to trade as well as play, there's no reason to bring more than you need. -- nm - znufrii Dec 16, 11:39
okay, since my link to my manager's kid didn't work earlier - Callisto Dec 16, 11:36 [Image] 6
- It's worse than ours! -- nm - Amy Dec 16, 11:40 1
  - Your photo was precious -- nm - oblique Dec 16, 11:41
- Better if he'd been holding up a different finger. -- nm - Mop Dec 16, 11:37
- I can't tell if that's just a brutally bad picture or brutally photoshopped - oblique Dec 16, 11:37 1
  - probably due to the severe backlighting from the tree lights... -- nm - znufrii Dec 16, 11:38
- "How YOU doin?" -- nm - Remlik Dec 16, 11:36
Vermin, that microwave thing was great. Thanks. My wife blew open our microwave last week. Not as fun. - Mop Dec 16, 11:36
So ... based on arguments I have made in the past, I would say that taxation is the new prohibition. Sound accurate? - Beryllium Dec 16, 11:34 10
- I don't think it's the equivelent you are looking for. Taxing "negative" products is more of a market soluation to avoid bans and prohibition. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 16, 11:36
- I just don't think government should be taxing things in the name of "health" It's effin wrong -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 16, 11:36 8
  - because we, as a society, do such a good job taking care of ourselves... -- nm - znufrii Dec 16, 11:37 4
    - that's crap. people need to take responsibilty for their actions. -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 16, 11:40 3
      - sure, but who's going to make them? - znufrii Dec 16, 11:42 2
        
        They should make themselves! wtf? -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 16, 11:43 1
        
        uh huh... -- nm - znufrii Dec 16, 11:46
  - Just to play a mental game...Put yourself into the Canadian "free healthcare" model. Still believe that? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 16, 11:37
  - Agreed! The dollar menu at McD would be like $2.37! -- nm - Mop Dec 16, 11:36 1
    - heh, but the "health" thing is different for every individual. -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 16, 11:38

    - I was incredulous that a group of people at our church didn't recognize "Pecan Pieeee" when used at our Thanksgiving pie fest - oblique Dec 16, 11:39 2
      - The same people who have no idea what "Baby Fishmouth" is. -- nm - kelly Dec 16, 11:41 1
