- how did she find it? -- nm - loosilu Feb 12, 16:49
- first, national health care. now this - cupixie Feb 12, 15:27
- Is it legal in Canada, or is the site just tolerated because it uses the different terms? - ty97 Feb 12, 15:26 7
  - not legal. -- nm - Andie Feb 12, 15:27 6
    - heh, there's an awful lot of legal discussing about "prostitution" for a service to just have someone accompany you to a public event. :) -- nm - Max Feb 12, 15:45 5
      - sadly, if i ever had access to a service like this, that's probably exactly what i'd pay them to do -- nm - cupixie Feb 12, 15:58 1
        
        It's confusing! Just call yourself prostitutes if that's what you're offering. -- nm - Max Feb 12, 16:00
      - oh yes, that's what they're doing.(you should read the list of acronyms!) -- nm - Andie Feb 12, 15:52 2

Here's something I apparently don't know: What is the difference between beige and tan? -- nm - ty97 Feb 12, 15:09 19
- In terms of art, neither one is a "real" color. Meaning, they aren't pigments. That said, to me, beige has some white in it, and tan does not. -- nm - loosilu Feb 12, 16:50
- that's easy: taste -- nm - OAE -- Old Antarctic Explorer Feb 12, 16:20 3
  - I don't think you're supposed to eat paint, regardless of the color. -- nm - ty97 Feb 12, 16:23 2
    - they don't use lead anymore -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 12, 16:27 1
      - but they do use cadmium, cobalt, and other toxic pigments. -- nm - loosilu Feb 12, 16:51
- Ask Will, I'm sure he'd know. - kelly Feb 12, 15:47 1
  - ha -- nm - cupixie Feb 12, 15:49
- here's how *I* differentiate, tan is wee bit more yellow. like 'tanned leather'. -- nm - Andie Feb 12, 15:34 2
  - interesting. I would have put beige in the creamy/white/yellow family and tan in the brown family. - ty97 Feb 12, 16:16 1
    - there are many kinds of brown (yellowish, reddish, etc). I agree with Andie that tan is more yellow. To me, beige is a brown with white in it. -- nm - loosilu Feb 12, 16:52
- pigmentation i'd guess -- nm - Danedukenuuk Feb 12, 15:23
- Pfft! Distinguish between coral and salmon. -- nm - landbeck Feb 12, 15:18 5
  - Coral is orange, salmon is orangey pink with white in it. -- nm - loosilu Feb 12, 16:53
  - coral is a hard rockline growth underwater. salmon is a fish -- nm - peglegpete Feb 12, 15:31 2
    - sure but both are animals -- nm - Danedukenuuk Feb 12, 15:34 1
      - eat the salmon, wear the coral -- nm - peglegpete Feb 12, 16:02
  - I think this was my problem. I've always considered beige and tan distinct colors. - ty97 Feb 12, 15:20
- beige is what Gays call it. Tans are what Straights call it. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 12, 15:12 1
  - I like tan, but don't like beige. Wait. *has an epiphany* - ty97 Feb 12, 15:17

- I like Bobby Fischer and comtemplation -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 12, 14:39 1
  - Thank you both (and those from b2) for your advice. -- nm - Fuzzy Feb 12, 16:33

SNL PSA: Russell Brand hosts with musical guest Chris Brown -- nm - Beaker Feb 12, 14:29 5
- LIR we must agree to disagree. 2 episodes out of 13 is a horrible average for a Supernatural season - Pippy Feb 12, 14:32 4
  - yeah, I'm catching up on this season and it's not good. -- nm - loosilu Feb 12, 14:35 3
    - Beaker is correct with the episodes he mentioned. And a few good scenes in others (porn + Castiel. ) - Pippy Feb 12, 14:37 2
      - Castiel has some great scenes, as he always does. (which is probably largely due to Misha). And there were some good episodes. - loosilu Feb 12, 14:38 1
        
        He isn't a good enough actor to pull it off. -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 12, 14:40
Wait...is Cougar Town not coming back at all this year? Is Mr. Sunshine running til May? -- nm - kelly Feb 12, 14:14 3

  - Here's an article from 2/1 that says Cougar Town is back 4/18 -- (link) - ty97 Feb 12, 14:20 1
    - oh, good. thanks! -- nm - kelly Feb 12, 14:23
What difference does the dark/lightness of the wood make? It's just going to get painted... - landbeck Feb 12, 13:57 9
- Why would it get painted? -- nm - J Feb 12, 14:03
- *gasp* painting wood is a crime! -- nm - loosilu Feb 12, 13:58 7
  - The only "natural" wood in my house is the wood floors. No matter how light the wood, it always too dark. -- nm - landbeck Feb 12, 14:06 6
    - beech wood -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 12, 14:09
    - Painted furniture is the true enemy of many antique lovers. - loosilu Feb 12, 14:08 4
      - No antiques really; some old stuff, but mostly it was panelling and a dining room table. Wait, I forgot, the piano's not painted. - landbeck Feb 12, 14:09 3
        
        *phew*. - loosilu Feb 12, 14:10 2
        
        I think antiques is a different argument; usually wood-painting involves painting structural (exposed beams) or paneling wood. -- (link) - landbeck Feb 12, 14:14 1
        
        If it's knotty pine, paint your heart out. I once looked at a bedroom set that was painted antique white. When I found a chipped spot, turned out - loosilu Feb 12, 14:16
Guess who has two thumbs and just bought four *amazing* chairs at an antique store in kutztown? -- nm - miss amanda phones Feb 12, 13:53 31

- That chimp next door sure gets around. -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 12, 13:58
- shaker? -- nm - loosilu Feb 12, 13:58 2
  - in the middle of amish country you would think so -- nm - cupixie Feb 12, 13:59 1
    - coiuld be almost anything. there are lots of antiques available in that area. -- nm - loosilu Feb 12, 14:00
- your mom -- nm - cupixie Feb 12, 13:57
- Dark wood? -- nm - nubby Feb 12, 13:55 23
  - Yellow vinyl. So retro but the vinyl is in great condition. I would link but I'm on my phone so can only see the mobile version. - miss amanda phones Feb 12, 14:00 22
    - Interesting. -- nm - Pippy Feb 12, 14:35
    - those are fantastic!!! totally worth the wait - you scored! -- nm - JenBro waiting on her bet nic Feb 12, 14:25
    - oooh, you mean mid century? I love that. you need a formica table to go with them. -- nm - loosilu Feb 12, 14:06 14
      - You have to guess how much. It's just not believable. -- nm - miss amanda phones Feb 12, 14:08 13
        
        40 for the pair. (just looked at the gallery. love them) -- nm - loosilu Feb 12, 14:11 2
        
        I got four. The vinyl is in really almost perfect condition. I didnt see any flaws, but there have to be a few small ones, yeah? -- nm - miss amanda phones Feb 12, 14:13 1
        
        It's hard to find vinyl with no tears. that's a good find. -- nm - loosilu Feb 12, 14:14
        
        $25 -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 12, 14:10 3
        
        Seriously? For four chairs? -- nm - miss amanda phones Feb 12, 14:11 2
        
        You said it wasn't believable. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 12, 14:21
        
        oh, $80 then. -- nm - loosilu Feb 12, 14:13
        
        (keep nodding, max) -- nm - cupixie Feb 12, 14:10 5
        
        Two hundred dollars! -- nm - Max Feb 12, 14:11 4
        
        i said 160 - cupixie Feb 12, 14:18 3
        
        what is the answer? -- nm - loosilu Feb 12, 14:19 2
        
        $35. For all four. In a real city, where people like retro stuff, they'd easily have been $100. - portable amanda jones Feb 12, 14:58 1
        
        a piece -- nm - cupixie Feb 12, 14:59
    - Very nice -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 12, 14:05
    - gosh amanda, those sound great. but surely you must have paid an outrageous amount of money for such amazing chairs? -- nm - cupixie Feb 12, 14:04 3
      - Ha ha. (sash made me make a *brutal* deal for the bag. Well, ok. I offered. But she didn't say "that's too much.") -- nm - miss amanda phones Feb 12, 14:10
      - *nodding* -- nm - Max Feb 12, 14:04 1
        
        how much would you have paid, mr. treasurer? -- nm - cupixie Feb 12, 14:05
- Nice job! -- nm - Remlik Feb 12, 13:54
(also, I could be mistaken, but that base line sounds almost like a sample from Michael Jackson's Billie Jean) -- nm - Max Feb 12, 13:45 1
- It's not, but it echoes it. -- nm - Reagen Feb 12, 13:47
great price on it too. Will, let her buy it! -- nm - loosilu Feb 12, 13:37 10
- Oh no, it's not a great deal, because then we'd have to buy the dressers/nightstand/etc. (which are also on sale). - kelly Feb 12, 13:42 9
  - but see you could get the WHOLE room done for what you'd pay for just the bed. -- nm - Remlik Feb 12, 13:46 7
    - do you work for the furniture store or something? -- nm - loosilu Feb 12, 13:47 6
      - just trying to help a sistah out -- nm - Remlik Feb 12, 13:53 5
        
        Heh, thanks. - kelly Feb 12, 14:26 4
        
        wait ... Will eats furniture too? unbelievable -- nm - JenBro waiting on her bet nic Feb 12, 14:29 2
        
        heh. -- nm - kelly Feb 12, 15:49
        
        he blames it on the dog. -- nm - loosilu Feb 12, 14:36
        
        *shakes head* -- nm - loosilu Feb 12, 14:27
  - ah, gotcha. -- nm - loosilu Feb 12, 13:44
