So I took a math and grammar/spelling test at a temp agency today. - Dano Dec 2, 09:38 6

- I will disagree and say no ... if they don't know about it, they might think you're wrong. -- nm - loosilu Dec 2, 09:40 1

Debbie Gibson wrote and mixed her own songs. She's way better than Tiffany. -- nm - miss amanda phones Dec 2, 09:28 19
- I'm with David Letterman. Electric Youth perfume was the final straw. -- nm - David Dec 2, 09:39
- Tiffany gave me dirty thoughts. Gibson did not. - Spawn Dec 2, 09:32 4

      - I get that. And that's something completely different. -- nm - sycor Dec 2, 09:31
      - Or they could be wearing headphones and can't hear -- nm - amoxy Dec 2, 09:29 1
        
        The police specifically said the woman was not listening to music. However, the teenage boy in Duncan did have headphones on. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 09:30

  - who's laughing now, jerry hathaway! -- nm - pixmas Dec 2, 09:31
- I remember getting a computer with a 1 GB hard drive and it was an unfathomably large amount of storage. -- nm - pmb Dec 2, 09:16
- It's an astounding amount of hard drive space, perfect for storing flat text data files. (I just generated a 48MB CSV file.) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 09:11
Pinch saw his first ever seal today. The seal was catching the waves better than the surfers. -- nm - CQ Dec 2, 09:09
I find this ad offensive, but only because of their choice of antagonistic keywords. :) -- (link) - Beryllium Dec 2, 09:07
I'll second Jax's description of Nassau. We've been to Atlantis 3 times, but only went into Nassau the first time. - TWuG Dec 2, 09:06 15
- There is no reason to ever leave Atlantis, I only left to sleep at my room next door. -- nm - lileve Dec 2, 09:08 2
  - Poseidon? -- nm - HdnAgnda Dec 2, 09:10 1
    - Comfort Suite. -- nm - lileve Dec 2, 10:07
- glad you posted this - they have been advertising Atlantis heavily - stay 3 get 1 night free - companion flies free - Epiphany Dec 2, 09:07 11
  - Trip Advisor is "brutal" in what way? The Atlantis itself (Beach, Coral, Royal towers) are all nice rooms and you never - TWuG Dec 2, 09:12 2
    - these people went in November and complained constantly about poor customer service, dirty rooms, old/worn out rooms - Epiphany Dec 2, 09:29 1
      - We never encountered "hidden" fees. Maybe they went to Atlantis but stayed in a neighboring hotel? - TWuG Dec 2, 09:36
  - a friend was there last year. (and she's got cash.) she said it's insanely expensive. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 2, 09:09 3
    - Yes. It is NOT cheap. Even the inexpensive restaurants are expensive. But they offer meal plans and if you stick to them, they are good deals. -- nm - TWuG Dec 2, 09:14 2
      - I found them not to be great deals, but it was a long time ago. I thought Atlantis was great, but very crowded. We stayed in the condos which are - pmb Dec 2, 09:18 1
        
        The key for the plans, at least for us, was sticking to them. No "oh, let's eat there, instead" every other meal. - TWuG Dec 2, 09:25
  - Stay at the Comfort Suite next door. -- nm - lileve Dec 2, 09:08
  - word, I've always wanted to go there....now not so much -- nm - Beaker Dec 2, 09:08 2
    - Atlantis /= Nassau. Atlantis is fantastic. Nassau, not so much. -- nm - TWuG Dec 2, 09:13
    - Atlantis is great, stay next door. Never go anywhere else. It's not worth it. -- nm - lileve Dec 2, 09:09
Do you want to hear about some weird drama about people you don't know? - mara Dec 2, 09:06 8
- Did not know you were with Jeff Lebowski. -- nm - HdnAgnda Dec 2, 09:14

- First item of concern: it's the Post, so... -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 08:59
That "stuck relative" scam is a pretty old one, as they go. - Reagen Dec 2, 08:56 13
- Geez. Insult to injury for the Jax family. Very sorry to hear the vacation ended on this note. -- nm - TWuG Dec 2, 09:07
- seems suspiciously coincidental that he was actually traveling at the time. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 08:57 11
  - they do it so much, every now and then they'll hit someone who is traveling. -- nm - loosilu Dec 2, 09:01 1
    - fair enough. And I doubt jax gave the cruise line that contact info, so ... yeah. Probably random. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 09:03
  - It likely was just a coincidence. - Reagen Dec 2, 09:00 8
    - as opposed to an information leak relating to the cruise line, such as a passenger manifest at a port of entry? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 09:02 7
      - If it had been that they would said he was in the Bahamas, not Europe, right? -- nm - Ender Dec 2, 09:30 1
        
        drat. you're right. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 09:30
      - do they make you release your step-grandmother's name to get on the ship? -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 09:04 1
        
        beat you by a minute. :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 09:05
      - nah, easier to just hit random pages. I have seen it several times on my friends' pages. -- nm - loosilu Dec 2, 09:04 2
        
        more importantly, the scam works often enough, regardless of whether the person is really traveling. -- nm - loosilu Dec 2, 09:05 1
        
        Yep, friend of mine had her Yahoo account taken over. The 'stuck in London' email was sent to her contact list.... - MojaveMeg Dec 2, 09:11
