oh ok. iOS here. dang :(

which operating systems is this for?

Yes. Thank you. For people with phobias, some self-professed "phobic" folks sure don't seem to actually know much about them.

ah. Yeah I figured the video would be the most interesting part.

I can just barely hear the call and i have the volume all the way up. What do they say?

oooh "chasing the margins" - I've never heard it said that way but it's a perfect description of the situation. I'll be borrowing that phrase from now on.

Yes! I can force myself to say it sometimes now but I usually just refer to them as "critters." My friends even know to call them critters and are pretty good about it unless they're drunk. And I can identify with avoiding that one library section. In high school i knew exactly what pages of my science textbooks they…

Yeah I have ophidiphobia. Personally I encounter problems because, like flying as the author noted, those critters can actually be dangerous, so it's reasonable to be afraid of them. What people never understand is that, for me, it's a PHOBIA. That means by definition it's irrational. I won't say (or type) the word.…

Watching these episodes has led to some epic internet browsing for me this afternoon and somehow I found myself looking at car coffee table books. I'd like to have a great car coffee table book, whether it be on Porsche, Ferrari, supercars in general, Steve Mcqueen, whatever... and there appear to be lots of options,…

I don't know what magical grocery stores all of you are shopping at who are saying that buying healthy stuff at the store to cook meals for yourself is cheaper than pre-made meals or whatever, but I have never had that experience ever. I live by myself so I'm almost always cooking for one, and I guess fresh produce…

My brother is getting married this month and our parents' neighbor just bought a '52 white convertible corvette last summer. When i first saw it I immediately suggested that it be used for their wedding. It's beautiful. I only recently learned that he had indeed offered it to them to use for the wedding, but they…

they were? found in two parts, i mean? I read this story again and the original AP story and didn't see anything about that.

Depending on where you live, with the market the way it is right now, you can actually buy a house and have a mortgage payment that's much cheaper than rent would be for the same home. You just need to save for the down payment (20%, so you don't have to pay mortgage premium insurance). Once you've got that, you're…

Thank you! My little brother is getting married next month. He's 24 and just finished his second year in med school - 2 years left. He JUST moved out of my parents' house - into a house that THEY bought and are renting to him - and guess what he's paying rent with? Student loans. The wedding? All on credit. And his…
