- the only way I would ever watch this show is if they arrested all the parents at the end of every episode. - Reagen Jan 14, 13:34 1
  - Me too. Watched once just to get a handle on if I was right about it. Absolutely was. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 13:40

- I'd buy that calendar. nm - Dignan Jan 14, 13:33 2

  - ooh, nice one. (she really isn't seizing the opportunity to become a media voice.) -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 13:45
  - hell to the yes. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:44
- rumors run rampant in such times, but it has been reported the military took to the streets to prevent the police from killing peotestors -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 14, 13:39
- You are way to Americanized. You should not feel safe and should start looking to get out. - Go Ducks on a phone Jan 14, 13:34 7
  - this is true. Protests in that area are not like here. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:36 6
    - and a young woman makes an extra tempting target. An American woman. - Go Ducks on a phone Jan 14, 13:42 5
      - No you wouldn't have, because its been seized by the military, I believe. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 13:43 4
        
        i would be gone or in the Embassy waiting for a chopper if needed -- nm - Go Ducks on a phone Jan 14, 13:46 2
        
        really? the airspace is shut down. the embassy is nowhere near her. there are no taxis. that isn't that easy. -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 13:48 1
        
        they'll figure out a way to get Americans out if needed. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:49
        
        yes it has, but travel has not been stopped. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:44
- morning might be a good time to get to the Embassy and get the fuck out of there -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 13:29 42
  - the US Embassy is closed for MLK day anyway. the fuck, right? -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 14, 13:30 40
    - dude, if the country is going to hell, they will not close for a US holiday. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:31 39
      - Didn't the Lebanon crisis happen during a holiday? IIRC, people got evac'd ASAP -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 13:39 3
        
        the holiday is irrelevant here. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:40 2
        
        No, what's relevant is that I was backing up your assertion. :P -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 13:40 1
        
        indeed. :) -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:41
      - don't believe me? -- (link) - Hotkiss Jan 14, 13:32 34
        
        that is probably for routine work but there would be people there for emergency stuff -- nm - zork Jan 14, 13:36 2
        
        right now, there is no routine work for them. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:37 1
        
        exactly -- nm - zork Jan 14, 13:39
        
        must need an update -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jan 14, 13:36
        
        Well, the Dept of State issued a Tunisia travel warning. Believe me, that staff is not getting time off. -- (link) - loosilu Jan 14, 13:34
        
        That's very likely an autoresponse that they just haven't disabled yet. That's why you need to contact a someone *in person*. - musubi, benevolent dictator Jan 14, 13:34 1
        
        and make sure they can reach YOU by some means other than email. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:35
        
        that will probably change. and, hey! now you have a contact name! -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 13:34 26
        
        there's loads of contact info on their web page, which I just linked. - loosilu Jan 14, 13:35 25
        
        Take it easy on Hotkiss, please -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 13:36 24
        
        I'm serious, she hasn't called them yet. She is not taking it seriously enough. - loosilu Jan 14, 13:38 23
        
        I went to the protests this morning, the ones you're seeing on tv and the news. But things are dead quiet now. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 14, 13:40 20
        
        That's how Walking Dead started. You need to walk into the embassy and tell them you're Agent Hannah Striker and need to evac an asset in person asap -- nm - Max Jan 14, 13:41
        
        Except for the rumored rapings and pillages. - Will Hunting Jan 14, 13:41 2
        
        and gunfire, and rumors of AQ support. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:42 1
        
        Oh my! -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 13:43
        
        don't go again, please. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:41 15
        
        on the other hand, Hotkiss is there. remember, what the news shows and what general life is like aren't always the same. - Andie Jan 14, 13:42 14
        
        If Hotkiss was in Queensland she would be looking for the rumored crocadiles swimming in the flood waters - Go Ducks on a phone Jan 14, 13:45 1
        
        she's seen more of it than most of us here. -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 13:45
        
        I understand that, but she is in a part of the world where these things can go very bad. - loosilu Jan 14, 13:43 11
        
        right. which is why she should stay put. which she is. -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 13:43 10
        
        She went down to the protesting!! -- nm - Go Ducks on a phone Jan 14, 13:48
        
        And noone has suggested she not do that. - musubi, benevolent dictator Jan 14, 13:45 5
        
        right. i fully endorse her calling the embassy. but people have her practically storming the doors. - Andie Jan 14, 13:47 4
        
        I don't think anyone since B5 has suggested she leave where she is. (nm) - musubi, benevolent dictator Jan 14, 13:49 2
        
        they have indeed. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:49 1
        
        Clearly, I missed it, got a link? (nm) - musubi, benevolent dictator Jan 14, 13:50
        
        I think you and me are in agreement. - loosilu Jan 14, 13:48
        
        she is now, I hope. - loosilu Jan 14, 13:45 2
        
        I've been inside since the 6pm curfew. No way I'm going out there now. It'd be like wandering around in camo during hunting season -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 14, 13:47 1
        
        good woman. :) -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:47
        
        She did email them, and she did get a response back from them instructing her to stay at home until further notice. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 13:40 1
        
        I actually think loosi's right here. Don't wait till the s**tstorm is happening outside your door, she needs to get in touch with the embassy now. - musubi, benevolent dictator Jan 14, 13:43
  - no, do not go out in the street unless they directly tell you to. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:30
- Start badgering the Embassy. It's their job to help protect you. - TWuG Jan 14, 13:29 1
  - this is good advice. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:30
- Dood. That is not good. Any direct *live* contact with the US embassy yet? (nm) - musubi, benevolent dictator Jan 14, 13:28
- you're staying inside, right? -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:27

- I think the question is whether she is the reincarnation of Brittany Murphy -- nm - zork Jan 14, 13:33 1
  - I think Emmy Rossum is older than one. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 14, 13:48
- she is smokin' hot imo -- nm - Jovian Jan 14, 13:31
- she has two facial expressions. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 13:29 1
  - As long as one is "Oh my god, it's huge!" and the other is "right there, baby, oh yeah", I'm good. -- nm - TWuG Jan 14, 13:40
- She's what happens when you mate Julia Roberts and Kate Winslet and breed out any latent lust. - Max Jan 14, 13:27 1
  - listen, it's the scientific process, dammit! -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 13:29

  - Is that where Tupperware comes from? -- nm - pmb Jan 14, 13:32
  - hey, read The Bountiful Container. It's all about growing edibles in containers. It's a great read. -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 13:30 2
    - I think I can plant some Logan's faves. Peas, beans, and you can do potatoes in an old storage tote. Plus, strawberries. -- nm - Amy Jan 14, 13:39 1
      - I did potatoes one year. the plants are *surprisingly* large and bushy. easy-peasy though. - Andie Jan 14, 13:40
- raddishes peas green beans lettuce broccoli potatoes and tomatoes, -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 14, 13:28 2
  - you're in a short summer season area, sow lettuce peas in april, green beans in late may june, buy pepper tomato plants but wait till night temps are - zeitgeist Jan 14, 13:35 1

  - Something edible, I think he means. nm - Dignan Jan 14, 13:24 2
    - mint is "edible". You can use it for tea. -- nm - sycor Jan 14, 13:26
