[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I know we have a lot of Roomba owners, but does anyone have a Scooba? We are thinking about getting one for my mom and wanted to get some feedback.

Dawn, I just read about that on Consumerist.com... they cite a Consumer Reports article that says that Scoobas aren't worth it. here's the link: [link]

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Wouldn't that get crappy laws like this parental notification thing passed?

honestly, no. Now, Ct is a blue state, but on the moderate end of things. So things that divided the state, less likely to pass. you don't pass laws that 45- 55% of your state are willing to challange.

and propsitions - lots of crappy laws - as in not enforcable, not funded or hastinging enforcement of funding- 'cause they are written by pewople that don't know/ understand law.

Nora thanks... Mom has COPD so mopping is sorta taxing for her, hummm... back to the drawing board.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

and propsitions - lots of crappy laws - as in not enforcable, not funded or hastinging enforcement of funding- 'cause they are written by pewople that don't know/ understand law.

Yeah. I think if proposition votors could have their way, they'd vote for a tax cut, a balanced budged amendment and for not cutting any government spending all at the same time.

What is even happening?

I voted.

I think I need to take a shower in bleach. I haven't felt good about voting since the 2000 election. I had a mild anxiety attack filling out my ballot.

All is well that ends in pizza.

how much does obesity strain our health resources?

They should tax skydiving and... young idiots who ride their motorcycles at more than 100 mph on the freeway without helmets....

Of course, these things don't cause second-hand effects, unless you count getting hit by/fallen upon, whichever the case may be.

Our wings are not tired.

Every year I want to start a grassroots movement to vote "no" on all propositions all the time. Just because I think it's turned out to be such a dreadful way to legislate and it should stop.

The Miami Herald endorsement page listed No on every amendment on our ballot. I imagine that was the reasoning. I didn't read the detail.

Compassionately intolerant

Fela has been poll-working all day in NoVA. gooood boyfriend, go you with the civic duty-doing.

He reports that in his district they already have a better than 33% turnout, which is apparently quite good. A heavier turnout speaks well for his candidate too. Yay for that, in the midst of an otherwise crappy day.
