Not a bad idea. What I tend to do is actually read the reviews rather than care about the number of stars. Some people are dumb - they give something one star because it arrives late. So I have to tease out what's good and what's bad about the item.

Ah, ok. As I mentioned - I've not been the sender or receiver of these so my impression is that it was a spur of the moment thing.

Personally, I'm in the abstinence crowed, but I wanted to see what you guys recommended. Frankly, the point of sexting (I think) is a spur of the moment thing - isn't it? I mean, otherwise you can just wait until the end of the day or week or w/e to see each other naked. Once you're freakin' photoshopping and blocking…

I agree. Unfortunate choice of words on my part.

Nah, it's been studied - the whole thing about them creating more wealth is bunk. They mostly put the money overseas where no one can touch it and other stuff. Whereas those of us with less money use it to buy cars and other things that keep the economy going. Otherwise things wouldn't be so bad in those countries…

Hehe. I guess. But I'm not saying everyone gets the same thing or w/e. Just take that money and increase everyone's salary proportionally. Then we all spend more and the company makes more and hires more and capitalism makes everyone more awesome.

I know a lot of that was sarcastic, but basically, the good thing is that if we all spend more - it's a better society for everyone, especially the rich. They don't want to end up like Brazil - constantly afraid of being kidnapped for ransom

Yeah, how awesome if instead of making tens of millions, the CEO made a few million and the rest was distributed among the workforce - instant awesome economy as we'd all have more money to spend. After all, C-Level people don't spend as much of their income (as a percentage) as we do on the economy so they're a drag…

No offense to Melanie, because she didn't write it, but this is the dumbest thing I've heard on LH ever. Pretending you're getting paid a buttload of money? WTF? Why don't I just pretend I won the lotto and get to travel the world.

Certainly sounds that way, except I actually have the proof.

Just another way to be nickle and dimed. What a crock of crap

not a very sustainable way of living

that's something most people overlook. The old stuff was made well - the new stuff is crap. Example: t-shirts I got in high school are still fine. Shirts I've purchased from the more expensive Banana Republic in recent years are already falling apart.

Sounds like a great way to keep the consumer culture going - otherwise seems pretty dumb. I say sell or giveaway whatever is useless to you. I tend to do this quarterly rather than when moving. That way you aren't lugging crap you don't care about. And, unless it's momentos (photo albums, trophies, letters from dead…

I hope not to be looking for a job anytime soon - I really enjoy my work. But, out of curiosity, what's the best solution for having a common name? I'm actually pretty darn careful about what I write (although some jobs with an uber-conservative culture might not hire me) and I'd hate for someone to fall across the…

depends, right? Because if there is no photo on your CV/Resume - what if they come across some jerk and assume that's you and you don't get hired?

I hear ya. A lot of people haven't quite caught up to the notion that not all anime is hentai. Although, people seem to be just as likely to believe the opposite - that it's all for kids.

I'm not as into anime as I used to be, but kudos to the neat poster on the wall

my wife is picky about shampoo and hates the brand the hotels have

heh, I was going to say the same thing. I have at least that much in bills over a year. Treat the credit card like cash and you're good.
