I should totally buy the 19" LCD from NewEgg for $89 and donate my 19" CRT to my church, right? RIGHT? -- nm - oblique Dec 18, 11:17 6

Good news from my doctor's visit yesterday: My BP is like 129 over 82. Rocks. -- nm - Mop Dec 18, 10:52 4
- 120 over 80 is "normal". My wife's is normally 100 over 60 so they freak every time they take her BP. "No, no, that's normal for me." -- nm - Mop Dec 18, 11:00 2

  - ... unless the power goes out -- nm - Beryllium Dec 18, 10:53
- I wouldn't say blizzard here, but I still think we'll be leaving early. -- nm - TFox Dec 18, 10:52

- I propose banning the phrase "our prices are insane!", because it only encourages people to profit from the mentally unstable. And that is *not* cool. - Eight Tiny Vermin Dec 18, 10:46 1
