We got our first road-freezing snow last Thursday. Got a little bit today but nothing accumulated. On the other hand, yesterday or the day before they announced a winter storm warning for tomorrow (Thanksgiving) through Friday evening. Around here, if they announce it two days early, you know...

My best friend hates having her picture taken. I don't even ask any more under normal circumstances. If you get her drunk enough, she's sometimes OK with it, but then it's probably not a picture that can be passed around... :o -Dave

I should complete the story. I did receive (most) of the rest of my order from Chumba Toys. They owed me two trolls and only sent me one, but I'm just writing the other one off to a bad experience. I still can't recommend them (a buddy of mine had a bad experience too), but they did (eventually)...

Hi Curtis, Long time, no sexual favors. ;) Admittedly, I am completely ignorant of how things work in the IT industry, and mostly ingorant of how things work in consulting. But you know I'll never hesitate to offer an ignorant opinion. Don't obsess about missing opportunities while you're...

I skipped a lot in high school, some in college, dropped out and skipped five years in fact, then less so when I went back and finished my degree (magna cum laude, IIRC - or was it summa cum laude? whichever one was the lesser one). I feel guilty these days because I'll check my schedule for...

I have to agree with the majority: she was mildly rude to the tablemates unless it was an emergency or very short conversation; and she was not rude at all to the other people at the restaurant (unless there was a loud ringtone). To the passive-agressives, I would have reacted in a similarly...

Large sigs don't bother me too much, but I have noticed the trend. We're probably better off just asking people to keep their sigs reasonable. Alternatively we could 'out' the ones with the longest or most annoying sigs in a friendly way in this thread, and see if their sigs don't get shorter...

I thought "Days of Future Passed" came out in the late '60s? Why would it remind you of the '80s? :p -Dave (who hasn't thought of the Moody Blues in ages...)

Dang, Curtis, that sucks! After weeks of inactivity at work, you gotta go and leave your wife with a newborn for two or three weeks. I mean, it's great that you're working again, but the timing for the travel just rots! Good luck, man, and I hope you get a chance to game and have fun. Just...

Dude, if that was the deciding factor, I'm guessing the decision to have the second one was based upon how much hair your wife had left, right? :p Congratulations, Curtis, to you and the missus. You have two beautiful looking kids there. You need to teach your new daughter to be in focus more...

Whatever you do, don't mistake Drano for hair gel, or you could end up looking like... nevermind. :o -Dave :p

Thanks, MM! Now, don't you have two jobs you should be getting back to? :p -Dave

I worked today but my friends would tell you that I'm... just... off. :confused: :) -Dave

I have a had a bunch of experiences buying online. First is The Card Vault. I have purchased a handful of times from them and find them to be the best all-around online retailer. They only show what they have in stock (some other places won't tell you they're out of stock on a figure until you...

For those who don't trust e-bay (or e-bay shops) there has already been a link posted to Popular Collections, which I can recommend. Paizo has also been mentioned and they are reputable as well. My best recommendation, though, is reserved for The Card Vault, where I have purchased over a hundred...

All three buildings of the complex I work at have working showers in the basement bathrooms (we also have some in the chem labs, but that's a different matter). I've used the showers in every building because I either walked or rode my bicycle to work for about nine years, and my office has...

I don't know if it's the best solution but Audacity can capture audio and export it in different formats. It's pretty easy to learn (heck *I* can use it!) and free, so I use it quite a bit. I usually use it to record and export songs I purchase at Wal-Mart.com so I can get rid of the DRM, but I...

My buddy and I split three cases, which were delivered to work today. Got a funny look from my boss when she passed by my cubicle and saw us opening boosters with the figures all in two groups on my desk. ;) We each got plenty of all the commons and uncommons, of course, and the only rare we...

That reads like the James Brown version! -Dave

Agreed. I have seen several give-aways in General. The most recent being TheLe's "What Don't You Know" quiz thread, which manages to be fun without reading like a big advert.
