I think so. The phrase is 'get down to brass tacks' which I always thought meant to get down to it.

1) There was a lack of women's (ahem, people's) concerns discussed in the last debate: healthcare, education, etc - all the things the matter (LOTS of things matter, btw) that are mentioned by Ms. Ryan. Those things need some discussion (and they are things that the Dems can lead on and win on... Obama needs to raise…

How much does Gawker donate to breast cancer orgs?

Speaking of 'mountains out of molehills...' have you searched for Mt. Rainier on iOS6 yet? Takes you to a molehill in Des Moines...

I see what you did, there.

Not a huge reality TV watcher, but I have been watching Breaking Amish on TLC the last couple weeks. It's pretty interesting.

OnOne FocalPoint 2. Just fake it later, it's easier.

Too far gone for us, on the corporate side. I can see the phones working for individuals, much like IOS, Android and Windows does now and the user can just tie in to the Exchange system. However, if BB is expecting everyone to get BB10 servers fired up and pay lic. fees and such just for the 'honor' of using BB then…

We sort of gave up. It's pretty much just BYOD with a few straggling BB users. The BB server is about 1 (high-up) user away from getting the ax all together. Honestly, it was so much work to manage all the time. Granted, we were that efficient at it - but people want their Androids and iPhones now anyway so it doesn't…

Very cool! We done, Etsy person.

The current Seattle Where mag (King Tut or whatever on the cover) is doing the same thing... I asked my mom, 'So, reading Seattle Whore now, are we?'.

Ha! No shit. They always act like those are the most precious things. "Hm, 3rd string linebacker from the '01 Patriots? I'll take it!"

Confused by the Super Bowl rings reference. The winning team all gets them, as does periphery staff, owners, snot-nosed grandchildren of owners, etc (from what I understand). That's a lot of people over, what is it, 35 Super Bowls?

It wouldn't even cross my mind to 'rent' or buy a movie from say, Amazon or iTunes - but I mindlessly pay for and (occasionally) watch the streaming only Netflix. I think the mental hurdle for me is that $2 (?) to rent a TV show or something from iTunes is hard to swallow when I get a whole slew of options for a…

SOMEBODY could use a hug! Wait, that's the last thing you want...

I don't think I would own anything other than a Panasonic Plasma. I don't have the reference/commercial series but I have had the top of the line consumer models. My most recent is from about 3 years ago. The image is smooth and lifelike. None of that fake 3D stuff that I am seeing on the LED/LCD sets (like the top…

#1 car door ref is sort of a fail. The reason a car door keyhole doesn't have a clumsy cover is because it has a simple, effective cover built in.

Agree.

Anyone ever hear of using it on rubber/fake fishing bait? I remember it was a 'thing' when I was young - all the tackle boxes had a little can of WD40 in them. I don't recall it helping, don't recall it hurting either.

Right next to the old toilet being used as a flower bed. Actually, the place looks pretty cool.
