Yes...while she is closer to my daughter's age than my age, she's not THAT much younger than me! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I have no idea. I suppose knowing this couldn't happen to me is yet another advantage of dating someone so much younger than me, but I think it'd be pretty obvious regardless. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

So dogs will be included now, instead of just cats? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Oh yes I did... everyone GO VOTE!!! Linked there is the dog version, "Icanhashotdog". While that's not what this one says, I think "Plz i can has hot dog" would have worked on this one too. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I had to give Minka (puppy) a bath last weekend, and Tao (cat) LOVES water of about any sort. If I don't close the bathroom door when pissing, he'll stand up at the toilet to check out what's going on with the falling "water". Anyhow, he had to check out the filling tub, and I put a rubber duck in it...he damn near made it all the way around the tub trying to bat at the duck. Then he kept "helping" me wash the dog. He didn't fall in this time, but he has fallen into both my and Erin's showers. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Just out of curiousity, would you support such a concept if it would only be put to use in HUD-assistance homes, the homes of people receiving state aid, and other situations where it's the taxpayers paying the power bill? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

What he said. In my line of work, reviews aren't a way of rubberstamping an opinion, they're more of a "Did I do the research correctly?", and "Did I forget to take anything important into account?". Sometimes there's an implied "Do the conclusions draw logically from the data?", but that's about as close as it gets. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Part of me says there's a greater good thing going on...during a heatwave, those people on the upstream side shouldn't be able to kill those farther downstream by keeping their own house at 60 degrees and thereby causing blackouts. Still, it seems to intrusive to me. If you buy the electricity, you should be able to use it for whatever you want. Better would be some sort of remote control limiter outside each house by which they could decrease either peak or daily consumption. This would allow the seller to ration power during an emergency, but the consumers would still be free to use their power however they saw fit. In California, this would likely make many people have to choose between their heat/AC and their grow lights. I do like the idea of some sort of display on the power meter that would tell users how much they're spending at a particular moment, and over the past 24 hours, and maybe over the past week. Edit to add: Fortunately for me, I live in an area with much more power supply than power usage. We ship a lot of our power to California, so currently I don't have to worry about such devices. The worst they'd do up here is raise our rates to make up for the difference in pricing between here and California. That'd be inconvenient, but eventually the economy would adjust for higher cost of living here, just like it has there. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

She was TRYING to tell you she needed a bath, now all the more so. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Finding out your spouse is actually your biological twin? I have to imagine it would present a whole bunch of issues that would be difficult to deal with! The article doesn't say whether they had any children, but I could easily see that being what tipped the first domino in the chain of finding out they were twins.

The majority of pussies in this country will accept it with the standard "if you have nothing to hide..." rationale. The people who think the government should have full access to our lives to "protect us" are the flip side of the "Welfare is my right!" coin. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

I've had that one with more than one ex! Obviously any such story told by a guy who is currently in a relationship must be about an ex, not his current girlfriend. It's very important that this part is understood by all. With that said, I'll throw one of my favorites out there. We were sitting on the couch and she said she was going to do something (I don't remember what it was). I said, "OK." Her suddenly angry response was, "I *wasn't* asking your permission!" At this point I was lost. Obviously I couldn't say, "OK", so I asked, "Umm...what would have been a better response? I was just acknowledging that you told me something. Should I have just ignored you and kept my mouth shut?" I got the abbreviated version of the "I'm fine!" treatment for better than an hour on that one. Women are funny. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I'm not sure such people pay attention to what is being shopped for. In talking about this, one girl told me she had two guys at a grocery store invite her to a house party...when all she had in her basket was a bag of chocolates and a big box of tampons. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

It's not like I'd be embarassed of anything, and if I could, my folks could probably keep up with my buddies in that department, so I say it's all fair game. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

How fast do those things work? I could have my company pay for one of them for me (deducting internet access from my taxes would be nice), but won't bother if they suck. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I don't know. It's something about a man and a woman becoming one. I quess if you don't really believe that, why even waste the money and energy of going through the process? I can understand why a married couple would want to have the same last name; I just can't see any reason why the male's last name should be preferable to the female's. I've got a good friend who, when he married quite some time ago, hyphenated his last name the same way his wife hyphenated her's. It seemed a little odd. Their marriage didn't work out, and when they divorced, he didn't bother dropping her name off of his. That seemed a little more odd. He's since remarried and neither he nor his new wife felt like fucking with their names, so he's now married to one woman and carrying (hyphenated) the last name of another. That seems fairly odd to me, but it's not really any of my business. To each their own.

It's built into my cable bill and I can't remember whether it's $30 or $40/month. I sure would like to ditch Charter cable...I pay them $133/month for internet & TV (including all the movie channels, HD channels, and HD DVR), and they have far and away the worst customer service I've dealt with. I routinely have to call them for one reason or another, and 4 out of 5 times I get someone who can't help me but talks to me forever only to transfer me to hold and then hang up on me. If I thought I had a chance of getting a similar product at a similar price, I'd switch to satellite & DSL in a heartbeat, but by the time you add everything up, it'd cost more and I'd get less (slower internet). Edit to add: I know that the DirectTV and Dish Network boxes need a phoneline to call home on occasion, e.g. to report pay-per-views, check for software updates, etc...does anyone know how the phone through internet works? Would it be possible to switch all my TV stuff to satellite and have it phone home through my cable internet? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

That comes out to more than 95 million years. Really? And your point is...? Look at the bright side, if we invest one cent today drawing a measly 2 percent interest, by the end of the term we'll have enough to pay off this guy and two similar cases with better than a quadrillion dollars left over! I think I can spare the penny. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I say we offer to pay him/her immediately following his/her receipt of 3 quadrillion bitchslaps. Since obviously the plaintiff will want to get these over with as quickly as possible, we should commit to one per second until they have all been delivered or 3 quadrillion seconds have passed, whichever comes first.
