Online couple cheated with each other

A married couple who didn't realise they were chatting each other up on the internet are divorcing.

Sana Klaric and husband Adnan, who used the names "Sweetie" and "Prince of Joy" in an online chatroom, spent hours telling each other about their marriage troubles, Metro.co.uk reported.

The truth emerged when the two turned up for a date. Now the pair, from Zenica in central Bosnia, are divorcing after accusing each other of being unfaithful.

"I was suddenly in love. It was amazing. We seemed to be stuck in the same kind of miserable marriage. How right that turned out to be," Sana, 27, said.

Adnan, 32, said: "I still find it hard to believe that Sweetie, who wrote such wonderful things, is actually the same woman I married and who has not said a nice word to me for years".

Now I feel bad for giving bad advice.

On the other hand, it's possible the first one is cheap not because they can quick offload into a storage unit, but because some portion is covered.

Is it possible the second figure is higher because it's a) harder to deliver to a residence and b) includes the month rental for the storage unit?

harder to deliver to a residence

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you pay more just for that.

Is it possible the second figure is higher because it's a) harder to deliver to a residence and b) includes the month rental for the storage unit?

Oh, the month rental is a separate (daily) fee, which I'm fine with (even if it's fairly expensive, as storage spaces go). And my point is, the delivery to residence should be included in the "moving from point A (DC) to point B (seattle)" cost, no? (Granted, the "loading back into a van to deliver it" I would expect to cost additional. But it was noted as being loading AND delivery, so...I suspect they're adding funny)

meara, that sounds crazy, and I have no idea. But good luck?

Now I feel bad for giving bad advice.

Who, to me? You never gave bad advice! It's just Time Warner screwing me over. I missed the first ten minutes of Beauty and the Geek before I noticed!

Online couple cheated with each other

It's like You've Got Mail, the crappy version...

Just finished frosting my cake with about-just-the-right-amount-of-frosting. At which point it occurred to me it's a better test if they have a number of different recipes out there, isn't it?

Mine's a bit too sweet for my taste, but so far perfectly edible with tea. I should go make me some.

Uncanny valley warning!

Remember a year ago or so when ita linked to this unnerving video of a robot "pack mule"?

Now the robot has a sibling - "Little Dog":

eta: The Make blog described it well:

You probably remember Boston Dynamics' BigDog, the four-legged robotic packmule, the video of which went viral last year. Here's the latest BD creation, LittleDog. It's astonishing, when a robot becomes this adept, ambulatory, how organic it seems, life-like. The robot: it plans. And there's something uniquely unsettling about that.

Invented in 1932: One-piece coat and vest: [link]

HERE’S a good way to beat the dry cleaners who charge more for a three piece suit than for merely the coat and pants. It’s a combination coat and vest invented by Philip H. Einbinder, a Denver tailor.

“Vests,” says Einbinder, “are a nuisance. They’re all front anyhow, so why bother putting fronts on them.” Putting his theory into practice he built flaps into the coat which button in front like a vest, the rest of the coat folding over them. If you don’t want to wear a vest, just button the flaps back under the armpits out of the way.
