@JoshRogan: Great. Now, how does that help us know when the next bus will arrive at a stop? I mean, I'm pretty sure I didn't have a train come by my house every morning...

@ipodless: Intrepid! Ibexes (Ibexen? Ibexii?) are always intrepid!

I use it selectively. I'm not going to check in to every place I've been in a day, but for some things it's actually useful - such as going to the gym. I don't have a local 'gym buddy' so I often find myself going alone. That can make a person pretty damn unmotivated, so I use foursquare + facebook to keep up with…

@mimigoliath: I was told by a recruiter last week that the words "batch processing" are apparently key words... Maybe that would help? Just toss it around a little bit. Sneak it in you cover letter somewhere. :)

If you just want a template and don't want the hassle of going to a shop or making pages with perforations, here's the template that I made/use. There's two: One for the front side of a page and one for the back.

@w00tmonger: I should add that if you reuse the brad folders (or binder) from semester to semester, your cost of the notebooks then should equal just the cost of a pack of paper... the initial cost for me was $15 for 6 folders and 1 pack of 500-count paper. The paper itself was 5.00, and I got the heavy-duty plastic…

@w00tmonger: I think they go a little overboard with binding it and making the pages perforated. You can do the same by getting a brad folder and a 3-hole punch, printing out the pages, and then using the folder like a notebook. If you really decide to back up the pages by scanning, you can do one of two things: 1)…

@Mattizzle: That's gorgeous! I have a 29 gal freshwater open-top myself, and a small 10 gal freshwater/tetra tank. I'd like to play around with a coral tank one day, but I don't have the money or the knowledge yet. One day...

@bettse: Macy's has some of the cheapest tailors I've seen, and they do pretty decent work.

@Deathbearer: Try having that (or slightly less - 92*F with the heat index) and no central air.

@crackerjackheart: THIS. My fiance was wearing shirts two sizes too big, and would never take his dress pants to get tailored because "it cost too much"... he ended up walking on the heels of his pants and ruining them, making him look more like a shmuck than anything else. I was horrified to let him out of the house…

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I'm unemployed, so saving money is top priority for me. We've cut back on just about everything — from eating out to our cable package, to what kind of food we buy for the house, how often we (or if we even) buy books/games.

I don't care if the iPhone is coming to Verizon — and I've wanted an iPhone for awhile now. But with the way that Apple handled the antenna debacle, blaming customers and then trying to prove that their design doesn't have a flaw by the "droid antenna issue" video... they've lost me as a potential customer.

Make a blanket. You'll have to store a lot of your old t-shirts until you get enough to make one, but the hubby and I have a t-shirt blanket made by his mother from all of his old t-shirts from when he was a boy in high school. It's a great piece/snapshot of my hubby during that time, AND it's amazingly warm during…

@pen.suhl: Then it's definitely your battery — there's no reason for a battery to die *that* quickly.

@pen.suhl: Then you guys need to either get new smartphones, or stop being dumb about power management. Unless your phone calls are getting into the hours-long range, or you're using bt ALL the time, you're doing something wrong. I can use the GPS on my smartphone for 40 minutes, send ~30 texts, make 60 minutes worth…

I just got the Droid X, and it has a little hole for keitai charms — I had to admit, I was super excited!

@brodiemac: I'll let you know soon as Verizon decides to ship my Droid X to me...

@MyMiltankBringsAllTheBoysToThe...: The city traps the heat so there's nowhere for it to go, plus the humidity makes it worse. Take into account that there's practically no central air (most people use window units and/or fans, just like the rest of the Northeast) means it can get pretty awful.

@legendnthemaking: Not FOX! They'll air only five episodes, and they'll be all out of order. Then they'll axe the show, citing not enough ratings, when people were just confused as hell because of the episodes being all mixed up.
