Oh, what was that place with all the themed rooms?
Madonna Inn?
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I could be wrong, but if the plan were implemented nothing would change for MoveOn from the way its emails are treated today.
I think then we're back to "is nobody working fact check at MoveOn?"

Madonna Inn?
That. Thank you.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Is MoveOn affiliated with EFF? Because they had an alarmist opposition to the plan. I think their most persuasive argument was that AOL and Yahoo have an incentive to weaken their spam filters. This objection seems daft to me, but I'm spending too long here trying to explain why and I doubt anyone cares so I'm stopping.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Doesn't it mean a de facto weakening of spam filtering anyway?

If you assume that the paid email may be spam. I think EFF is claiming that Yahoo and AOL will let more regular spam through, but EFF seems to be conflating who pays for the service-- I think they're assuming that the addressee will pay for this service in order to escape the weakened filters. But my take is that this is only a service for bulk emailers to buy. So I don't see that incentive-- actually, what I see is an incentive to strengthen their spam filters to encourage the bulk emailers to buy.
I misread the EFF article, they're claiming Yahoo and AOL will strengthen their spam filters to shakedown mailers. My mistake.

This is a very cool idea.
Patented desk clocks with 12 slides, each with the name of two major cities; together, the 24 cities represent the 24 global time zones; to find the local hour in another time zone, simply roll the clock so that the city representing that time zone is on top.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Thanks, juliana. I'm hoping I'll be energetic enough to give myself some time to really think about what I want to do. I've never pursued what I really wanted to do in life and it's trapped me doing a whole lot I *don't* want to do. So I have to see how feasible it is to break out of the pattern without starving. But I'll be looking at anything 40kish and up.
Sophia, the big news is that I was laid off today.
Hope everyone else is having a better day. :)

Bathtub with built-in TV. It even has surround-sound...

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
OMGWANTNOW! Also a slot for me to safely secure my iPod, or dock it. And one of those book holder. And the interweb so I never ever have to leave my bath.
