4/4 Taking 10 year olds to day spaws. ew. \_ There's no w in that word \_ SC accent http://www.phillymag.com/articles/pretty_babies/page5 \_ What is your point? There's a market for everything. Hummer, dog feng-shui, puppy accupuncture, a bunch of cat psychologists near Brentwood/Beverly Hills, gangsta rap, spinner wheels, huge suburban homes in Glendora with 1.5 hour commute to nearest tech work in Irvine or Santa Monica, etc. Come to think of it, on average, people in LA seem to have pretty high self esteem and fairly low IQ... perfect place to test for weird market ideas. \_ I take it you didn't RTFA since your reply seems to be talking about something totally different... \_ You're right. I'm just PMSing. |

4/4 God, I hate LA. \_ Do you live there, or are you just expressing a random opinion? I hate musicals. \_ both but stuck here for a very very long time. \_ You're wrong, musicals are great. \_ I hate the Nutcracker. It is not great. \_ That's great, but it's not a musical. It's a ballet. \_ Well, New Orleans can be fun. \_ Only when it's flooding, though. \_ "Livin' on an L.A. freeway ain't my kind of havin' fun." -jdenver |

4/4 message from female: "I'm doing a crossword puzzle. What's a five letter word for pirate treasure?" Is she really that into crossword puzzles or am I missing something here. \_ She said "pirate treasure", not "private pleasure". I think the answer is "prize". \_ try "booty." also, it's a reference to a beastie boys song, sucka. \_ try "booty." also, it's a reference to a beastie boys song, sucka. \_ I thought "Booty" refers to plunder taken on land, not at sea. \_ I thought "booty" refers to loot taken on land, not at sea. \_ ***** call! \_ If that's her way of flirting she's an idiot. \_ You're missing a 5 letter word for pirate treasure. |

4/4 10-part series on CAIR http://www.investigativeproject.org/profile/172 \_ I skimmed the summaries and oh my god does that read like a bunch of cherry picking filled with insinuations and no real data. AKA a classic hit piece. |

4/4 "Slow Down a Little, Save a Lot of Gas" http://www.csua.org/u/l7s (finance.yahoo.com) \_ RIDE A BIKE and save even more gas. Economically it boils down to what is your time worth? Is driving faster going to save enough of your time to make up for the extra fuel cost? Their argument that it saves 'a lot of gas' is week, it pretty much just saves a little. \_ It's kind of depressing riding my bike to work and being passed by hundreds of cars. Especially since many of the cars have driven an 50 miles to get there... \_ Change your bike route/time along heavy commute. I used to pass by cars along Shattuck in Oakland even on my heavy mountain bike. \_ Haha. Unfortunately I'm travelling the wrong direction for that. \_ PFT! USE FOOT! Ride bike will not help. It just hides the costs of shipping and processing all that metal, exotic plastics and other earth destroying by products of the biking craze. If everyone walked barefoot at all times there'd be no transport pollution at all. |

4/4 jrleek, please tell us about the job you love, and if you guys are hiring. I'm fed up with big companies, big beauracracy, big politics and most importantly the lack of career growth in big ass places. \_ Maybe you are just a crank. \_ If you want details, post your name or email me. Anyway I work at Lawrence Livermore National Lab, we're not hiring, and it doesn't sound like you'd like it anyway. It's a big beauracracy. -jrleek \_ Why do you enjoy working at a place that you recognize is a big beauracracy? Is it the prestige, the bragging right that you're working on something secretive, that you're doing something good for our country (I LOVE AMERICA) or something else? Just curious. \_ Your assumption that big beaurocracy = bad in all situations may be fallacious. -not jrleek \_ Sorry, I think it's extremely rude to call someone out by name without posting your own. Post your name or email me. -jrleek \_ Bravo! \_ jrleek is awesome, but I would not want his job. -vallard \_ That's ok, I don't want your job either. -jrleek |

4/4 Are mother in laws a good indicator to your wife's figure 1-2 decades from now? \_ Yes and no. They are only half of the genetics. Also, plastic surgery and exercise can complicate things. I know young women with mothers that look better than they do. I also know attractive young women whose mothers look terrible because they do not pay attention to diet and exercise. If your wife's mom let herself go and your wife does not then they might look totally different. Pay attention to not only your wife and her mom, but also their lifestyles and they contribute. mom, but also their lifestyles and how they contribute. \_ Damnit. Ok. My next question is, is it appropriate to buy a treadmill or get incentives for her to exercise? \_ don't worry about it; she'll dump your bigoted ass long before then. \_ Only if she asks for it. Otherwise, you're looking at a very volatile domestic situation and possibly time on the couch. And just in case you haven't figured it out yet, there is _no_ good answer to "Does this dress make me look fat?" \_ Better idea, don't say 'you' have to exercise, say 'we' have to. Go with her, play tennis together or go to the gym together. Try to make it a family/health/date thing. \_ Good advice. Additionally, look at her father and her siblings; the more siblings she has, the easier it may be to spot trends. Then again, genetics is a crapshoot, so maybe not. \_ Mother-in-law's bedroom skills are good indicators to your wife's bedroom skills 1-2 decades from now. Try out the mother-in-law before you marry. \_ I think this is totally 100% false. My mom-in-law is an exhibitionist who claims to love sex and who has been married 4 times. Both of her daughters are prudes that are embarrassed by her behavior and don't really care for sex as they see it as male repression. With sex in particular attitudes are more generational than they are learned from parents. (Product of the 1960s versus AIDS generation for instance.) \_ Sounds like you should be having sex with yermominlaw. \_ Um, this could be a female posting. She could have married the mom-in-law's son and so the prude daughters are the sisters-in-law, not a wife/mate. 100% false person, are you a woman married to your mom-in-law's son, or a man married to one of her prude daughters? \_ A girl posting on the motd? Surely you jest. \_ Look at it this way: Are hippy parents likely to have hippy kids? Usually it seems like conservative parents have hippy kids and hippy parents have conservative kids as kids just want to rebel and be different. So maybe look at whether your grandmother-in-law is good in bed. Of course, the problem with that is back then she was scandalous when she showed ankle so maybe it's not a good predictor of anything. \_ I don't think that this is true, in general, but I have to admit that I don't have any hard evidence, but anecdotally, hippies produce more hippies and religious people tend to produce children like them. Have you seen any studies indicating otherwise? \_ I have not seen any studies of this sort at all, but I have noticed how trends seem to alternate generationally - whether it's attitudes towards drugs or teen pregnancy. Society seems to swing one way and then the other and then back. \_ Your wife thinks of sex as male repression? Are you kidding? Does she knows that "All sex is rape" line is an urban legend? http://www.snopes.com/quotes/mackinnon.asp |
