I've just spent the last 2 hours trying to set up this Foobar 2000 media player. - Mop Dec 22, 11:51 5
- Is it just fucked up beyond all recognition? -- nm - Amy Dec 22, 11:55 1
  - An insanely appropriate name for the application. Next, I'm going to download and install CrashMyPC 2.0 -- nm - Mop Dec 22, 11:56
- What did you expect from a product named Foobar? -- nm - oblique Dec 22, 11:55 1
  - He should return it for POS 2.0. -- nm - TFox Dec 22, 11:56
- Sorry to hear. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 22, 11:54

- "No dad, I said 'thongs to impress the bitches'. What would I do with tongs?" -- nm - emoticripple si Dec 22, 11:50 1
  - I was a little surprised that he thought I said this and a) didn't question it whatsoever and b) decided that he would go ahead get me some. -- nm - emoticripple Dec 22, 11:52
- SFEK: "Because I've been walking around looking for speedos, but Cindy thinks maybe you said 'tongs'." -- nm - emoticripple Dec 22, 11:50
My family keeps griping that I can't tell them what I need/want for Christmas. - ty97 Dec 22, 11:45 50
- Though seriously, it's easier for me to give suggestions now that I've become more financially responsible. -- nm - Danonezer Scrooge Dec 22, 11:56 7
  - This is the key. People need to stop buying so much crap for themselves. Every time you think of something you want, write it down. There's your list. -- nm - mara christmas, movie house! Dec 22, 12:02 5
    - Our hiatus on buying things for yourself after Thanksgiving works pretty well. - TFox Dec 22, 12:04 4
      - hmmm, that gives you what, a week? maybe Halloween would be more effective. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 12:06 2
        
        A lot of cool stuff comes out right before Christmas though. -- nm - TFox Dec 22, 12:08 1
        
        ah, like electronics? I normally don't ask for that so I need more time. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 12:09
      - It's been really hard for me to live up to that, esp. given that almost everything I've bought for someone else - znufrii Dec 22, 12:05
  - (because now I don't just buy anything I want with a credit card so there's plenty of stuff I want that I'll do without unless I get it as a gift.) -- nm - Danonezer Scrooge Dec 22, 11:58
- And "a heart-felt blow job" just isn't an appropriate answer in that circumstance. -- nm - Danonezer Scrooge Dec 22, 11:54 3
  - You ever try to add anus to an Amazon wish list? Next to impossible. -- nm - TFox Dec 22, 11:55 2
    - You can add a link to anything on Amazon now -- (link) - oblique Dec 22, 11:58
    - I haven't, and I'm afraid what Amazon might recommend if I tried. -- nm - ty97 Dec 22, 11:56
- oh, you're one of THOSE recipients. dude, if they're asking, that means they want guidance. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 11:53 5
  - They've known me for 33 years. Is that not guidance? -- nm - ty97 Dec 22, 11:56 4
    - Here's that G.I. Joe you wanted back in 82! (They really don't see you that often now, with your job.) -- nm - Amy Dec 22, 11:59
    - have you *seen* the posts here from people whose stalkees don't answer polls? - El Fandie Dec 22, 11:58
    - good grief. So happy I am not buying for you. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 11:57 1
      - I am seeing a trend here. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 22, 11:59
- honestly, they just don't want to get you something that's going to sit in a closet or that you already have. help them out! -- nm - El Fandie Dec 22, 11:51 29
  - meh, I've been informed of a few things they were going to get me but "didn't want to spend that much" - ty97 Dec 22, 11:55 1
    - if they're asking for help, why not just help? -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 11:56
  - exactly. sometimes this can turn into a test. "If they knew me/loved me/paid attention to everything I said, they'd *know*!" -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 11:54 26
    - I'm not testing anyone. The answer to "what do you need" really is "nothing". - ty97 Dec 22, 11:57 25
      - If you can't come up with anything, how do you expect them to? - Roger More Dec 22, 12:01
      - You really need to have someone on your own gift list who does this crap. then you'll understand why it's a miracle your mother doesn't strangle you. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 12:00 2
        
        I never ask anyone on my list "What do you want". I never have. - ty97 Dec 22, 12:01 1
        
        *pounds head on desk* -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 12:01
      - Tell them you want this then -- (link) - oblique Dec 22, 11:59 1
        
        and bacon salt! -- nm - Roger More Dec 22, 12:02
      - But you don't want them to give you nothing. So participate in the process. -- nm - TFox Dec 22, 11:59 17
        
        I'd be fine if thye gave me nothing, actually. I know *they* wouldn't be. - ty97 Dec 22, 12:00 16
        
        Ask them to get you staples: socks, underwear, pajamas, gift cards for the Kindle, memory cards for you camera. Stuff you use all the time. - Amy Dec 22, 12:04
        
        exactly. so help them out. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 12:01 14
        
        wtf am I supposed to tell them exactly, loosi? -- nm - ty97 Dec 22, 12:02 13
        
        Make a list of ten things or activities you like. Think of something you'd like to receive for each one. - Roger More Dec 22, 12:04
        
        Think of the next thing for yourself that you're going to spend $50 on. Write that down. -- nm - Holly Jolly Vermin Dec 22, 12:04
        
        like Roger said, if you can't come up with anything, how can you expect them to? -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 12:03
        
        You can't come up with anything? iTunes credit? Nothing? -- nm - oblique Dec 22, 12:03 9
        
        I've told them that gift cards are cool. They find gift cards cold and impersonal. They want to get me things. -- nm - ty97 Dec 22, 12:08 1
        
        so tell them things, Einstein. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 12:10
        
        GC to a clothing store now that he's all skinny? -- nm - El Fandie Dec 22, 12:05
        
        how about Amazon credit for all of his Kindle books? -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 12:04 5
        
        They should have thought of that themselves! -- nm - ty97 si Dec 22, 12:05 4
        
        this is the part that's kinda obnoxious. they didn't, so stop berating them. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 12:06 3
        
        Besides that fact that that post wasnt me......I haven't berated them, nor do I care to. - ty97 Dec 22, 12:09 1
        
        sorry, missed the si. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 12:12

      - give them 10 things. anything. "i need a set of steak knives, a gps, this book, this cd, a red sweater, and a business card holder. -- nm - El Fandie Dec 22, 11:59
- a couple years back, I started making Amazon wish lists and sending the link to my family. - Grateful Vermin Dec 22, 11:47 1
  - This is what I do also. Helps alot. And if they don't want to get me exactly what's on the list, it at least shows them what I'm thinking of -- nm - oblique Dec 22, 11:49
Doh, I bought a Diet Pepsi with my lunch, left it on the left side of my desk. Didn't see it. Opened a Cherry Coke Zero. now I have 2 drinks -- nm - oblique Dec 22, 11:42 5
- That's still five less sodas than you usually drink for lunch. -- nm - Mop Dec 22, 11:46 3
  - It's like 1 calorie. Bah -- nm - oblique Dec 22, 11:47 2
    - I think I've decided that Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi is better than Cherry Coke Zero. -- nm - ty97 Dec 22, 11:48 1
