I guess I'm ready to let people know about this now. Let my pain be of benefit to STers & others. I will never recommend buying a hybrid car. Ever! - HdnAgnda Mar 18, 13:20 12
- I made my battery fail right before the warranty expired. - ceregon Mar 18, 13:33
- Dumb question. Can you run the car just off gasoline? Or drop a rebuilt engine in it? -- nm - Amy Mar 18, 13:27 3
  - We did ask that actually and the tech said it would not run well. I believe that based on how my wife said it acted when the warnings began. -- nm - HdnAgnda Mar 18, 13:30
  - Not without some major redesign to the car. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 18, 13:28 1
    - its a Yaris, you can buy a used engine really cheap though all the other stuff wouldadd up -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 18, 13:37

double bonus friday hax chat q: she got to know new girl in the office by helping her plan a lot of wedding stuff. now she wants to be invited - moles Mar 18, 12:48 40
- No. That rare texample is so rare it doesn't exist, that's how rare it is. -- nm - mara Mar 18, 12:52
- Why would she even want to go? She wouldn't know anyone there, probably. That's just dumb. -- nm - Amy Mar 18, 12:51 15
  - Because as I'm finding out the hard way, some women act crazy over other women's weddings. - Diva - Mind of Mush Mar 18, 12:55 14
    - i don't think i mentioned this... i threw a biggish party for dave's bday in december. all my friends have decided i should get married so they can - Andie Mar 18, 12:57 13
      - Whole truth? I find most weddings I attend to be a hassle. - Amy Mar 18, 13:03 11
        
        i am actually pro-wedding. i tend to have a good time at them. but, maybe i'm rose-tinting it because i haven't been to one in a while. - Andie Mar 18, 13:05 9
        
        Yeah, the ratio of "Good Weddings:Bad Weddings" to me is pretty one-way to the positive. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 18, 13:09 8
        
        I've only been to one bad wedding. It was over 5 yrs ago and it was so bad it's still providing comic gold to this day. -- nm - Diva - Mind of Mush Mar 18, 13:11 7
        
        i guess my one stepsister's was sort of bad. the groom got hives the day before. it auguered poorly - moles Mar 18, 13:15 4
        
        :( - Diva - Mind of Mush Mar 18, 13:19 3
        
        yeesh. if you can't afford to throw the party you want, just make it small(er) but better. -- nm - Andie Mar 18, 13:21 1
        
        the bride and the groom were both delusional and sort of still are. - Diva - Mind of Mush Mar 18, 13:23
        
        ha! -- nm - moles Mar 18, 13:20
        
        *counts backwards* - Epiphany Mar 18, 13:14 1
        
        of course not! We had a ball at your wedding!! -- nm - Diva - Mind of Mush Mar 18, 13:17
        
        ayup -- nm - moles Mar 18, 13:05
      - not surprising in the least. -- nm - Diva - Mind of Mush Mar 18, 13:01
- you never ask. you can't ask. it's up to her and she has her reasons. - Andie Mar 18, 12:50 16
  - I've always wondered this. Why is it so taboo to ask for a wedding invite, under any circumstances? -- nm - con_carne Mar 18, 13:06 4
    - It's not about you. (You being the person asking.) - Name Withheld By Request Mar 18, 13:11
    - (I'm guessing the expense has a lot to do with it, but there seems to me to be more to it...) -- nm - con_carne Mar 18, 13:10
    - it's presumptuous. -- nm - znufrii Mar 18, 13:10 1
      - and that holds for any social event, really. Not just weddings. -- nm - znufrii Mar 18, 13:11
  - this. -- nm - loosilu Mar 18, 12:53
  - there's a woman here at work that I'd love to ask but I'm in the same sitch as you described in the IM. - Diva Mar 18, 12:52 6
    - Booter's coming though, right? -- nm - moles Mar 18, 12:54 5
      - this is scary. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 18, 13:03
      - Hells yeah. -- nm - Diva - Mind of Mush Mar 18, 12:56 3
        
        what would happen if Dawson brought Chun as his plus one? -- nm - moles Mar 18, 12:56 2
        
        The hotel would lose it's liquor license and have to pay thru the nose for breaking the fire codes. -- nm - Diva - Mind of Mush Mar 18, 13:02 1
        
        on the plus side, they'd be out of booze and they wouldn't have to worry about the fire codes as the place would be burned to the ground. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 18, 13:25
  - Agreed. -- nm - pmb Mar 18, 12:52
  - Then she should have never gotten a stranger involved so deep. -- nm - lileve Mar 18, 12:51 1
    - they aren't strangers, they are co-workers. and, who is to say that letter-writer didn't ask questions and encourage the topic? -- nm - Andie Mar 18, 12:54
- No. -- nm - Diva Mar 18, 12:50
- Crash it. -- nm - nubby Mar 18, 12:49
- I did a wedding show invation and did not get invited. I was annoyed cause I did it for free. -- nm - lileve Mar 18, 12:49 2
  - maybe they were pissed because you misspelled something. (I kid! I kd!) -- nm - amanda jones, transitarian Mar 18, 12:50 1
    - haha! -- nm - lileve Mar 18, 12:51
- never. you can't ask. just stop being her friend if you're that damn petty. -- nm - amanda jones, transitarian Mar 18, 12:49
First day wearing ballet flats and my pinky toes hate me. -- nm - lileve Mar 18, 12:48
ST Opinion: Do you think it is professional for a female doctor to wear boots (that end 2" below the knee) in a medical environment? - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 18, 12:43 [Image] 25
- Serious answer? My friend is a neurologist and her office building is freezing cold. She wears a snuggie between patients. I know she wears boots. -- nm - Amy Mar 18, 12:53
- Make me an appointment! -- nm - Stephen of Ireland Mar 18, 12:52
- They may be too casual, but they're nowhere near being too sexy. -- nm - mara Mar 18, 12:49 5
  - Maybe "sexy" is the wrong word. I think I just find them a bit less professional, so "too casual" is probably the way I should describe it. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 18, 12:52 3
    - Nice try, but too late, JB. - con_carne Mar 18, 12:58
    - both. too casual and too unsexy -- nm - moles Mar 18, 12:53
    - maybe a bit. depends what other doctors wear. -- nm - loosilu Mar 18, 12:53
  - ...but I must! -- nm - Fake Antonio Banderas Mar 18, 12:50
- I don't mind, but she may get cold without any clothes -- nm - peglegpete Mar 18, 12:49
- I wouldn't have a problem with it. Eventually you'll be knee-high blood and guts and wish you had her boots. -- nm - Ender Mar 18, 12:47
- Those aren't really sexy. -- nm - Amy Mar 18, 12:47 3
  - this. -- nm - loosilu Mar 18, 12:52
  - word -- nm - Jim Mar 18, 12:48
  - seriously. -- nm - amanda jones, transitarian Mar 18, 12:47
- how long is her skirt? - Diva Mar 18, 12:46
- those are totally fine for work (they aren't even overtly 'sexy') -- nm - Andie Mar 18, 12:46
- Okay, the one you link is a bit much. Otherwise, I wouldn't care. -- nm - con_carne Mar 18, 12:46 3
  - A bit much *what*? -- nm - mara Mar 18, 12:50 2
    - Well, I agree with the others that sexy isn't what these are. - con_carne Mar 18, 12:54
    - I agree, those are actually tame compared to other possible boots. But I use that image as an example of general black boots. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 18, 12:51
- As long as it isn't crocs. ( hi trish! :) ) -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Mar 18, 12:46
- I don't care. - pmb Mar 18, 12:46
- too casual for a doctor in professional setting -- nm - moles Mar 18, 12:45
- just a lab coat and boots? hawt. -- nm - znufrii Mar 18, 12:45
- Doesn't offend me at all. -- nm - Jim Mar 18, 12:45
Pippy: I have a cat named McFluffin. -- (link) - Beryllium (iPhone) Mar 18, 12:42 5
- cutie!!! -- nm - Diva - Mind of Mush Mar 18, 13:07
- WANT!! what a beautiful cat. gorgeous - Epiphany Mar 18, 12:44 2
  - me too ... and believe me Jim's no slouch ... I think it's the green eyes contrasting with the sleek black fur? -- nm - JenBro Mar 18, 13:00 1
    - yes indeed - he could be a cat model - Epiphany Mar 18, 13:15
- (there's a bit of an issue with the photo ... Might work without www) -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Mar 18, 12:43
[deleted] 2
- Terrible name. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 18, 12:44 1
  - *laughing* -- nm - Epiphany Mar 18, 12:45
