Seahawks got Hasselbeck *AND* Branch back today. Didn't do us that much good (although it was the most spirited I've seen the 'Hawks play since week two). - Akiva Moskovitz
Akiva, you're supposed to be giving me words of support. Not creating further anxiety! sheesh. - pea gives ♥ a bad name

I SUCK. And to make it more insulting, the Redskins are playing the Seahawks next weekend. I don't think I can take the bloody Redskins beating BOTH of my teams one after the other. It'd be worse than the Steelers doing it. - Akiva Moskovitz
well, I wouldn't go that far but you were a little not-hepful in your previous comment. - pea gives ♥ a bad name

interception. sigh. I don't think I have the energy to watch this game. But I can't bring myself to turn the channel. This is a problem, for sure. - pea gives ♥ a bad name

Let the complaining about the rulings commence. ... 7-7. About time. - pea gives ♥ a bad name
This actually isn't a bad game considering Romo's still injured and it's first time on the field in a long time. They feel off kilter but they're not dying out there. - Akiva Moskovitz
But they're not winning either. I won't be happy about this game until the clock is at 0 and the Cowboys are ahead. - pea gives ♥ a bad name

I could really use Witten and Romo to put up some fantasy points. Come on! - Eric @ CS Techcast
Still a very close game - we can't pull ahead. Oh, if Jessica Simpson were at FedEx Field right now... - Ontario Emperor

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! Nothing like a Cowboys win to get my good mood on! - Live4Soccer
exactly. i was tense all day waiting for this. so the relief is fantastic. - pea gives ♥ a bad name

Big time....when MBIII made that first down, I was happy as hell we had done it....I spent the better part of 58+ minutes of that game WAITING for the other shoe to drop.... - Live4Soccer
When the 2nd TD happened a friend IMed me with Woot! and I responded with, "Not yet. No celebration can happen until the game is over and they've won." sigh. - pea gives ♥ a bad name
yup....7+ minutes with a 4 point lead on the road is not safe....but no matter, we're back in the hunt and we have 4 of 6 at home the rest of the season! - Live4Soccer
Honestly, if they'd lost this one, I don't know how much I would have cared about the rest of the season. I mean, I would still have watched but some of the fun would have been gone out of it. - pea gives ♥ a bad name

Jesse? You don't even eat bacon!! - Mona N.
via IM
Mona, I eat bacon - just can't eat too much or I'll get sick. I still think it's delicious, and often I'll eat it until I get sick. It's worth it some times. - Jesse Stay
via twhirl
That would be a double-whammy, too - pork hot dogs also make me sick if I eat too much. I'm asking for it but it looks so good! - Jesse Stay

I'll echo Molly. Mashed potatoes & gravy, and stuffing. Also, green bean casserole. YUM! Oh yeah... and it's nice to be together with family. :-D - Ladybug Heather
All the food except for the Turkey and Cowboys football! - Mathew Ballard
I don't really understand Thanksgiving, what are the traditions for it? Is there traditional meals for example? It's it kind of like Christmas? Is it a public holiday for the US? - Kol Tregaskes
My mom's dressing and German Chocolate Cake. This year, I'm doing the turkeys, so I'm extra excited. - ha3rvey
Dressing, almost any kind, unless it has hardboiled eggs, that's just a culinary sin. - Heather Solos
I just did a quick calculation, and if I'm not mistaken, the gas prices here in Germany would roughly be equivalent to 5.75 p/g (1.20€/l last time I checked) ... and that's low and feels like a bloody good deal after the prices of this summer. - Gina Häußge

"The child’s body was taken to the Mississippi Crime Lab for an autopsy, which revealed that Watkins’ death was due to starvation, Lee said. The child weighed 19 pounds when he died, Lee said.
Sheriff’s deputies arrested the child’s paternal grandmother, Janice Mowdy, 43, and the child's aunt, Stephanie Bell, 22. Both women were charged with murder and felony child abuse, Lee said.
Lee said the child had not eaten for about two weeks. He said that investigators believe the women tortured the child by not letting him have anything to eat and his organs shut down as a result." - Jill, Superhero Librarian

This is the sort of thing that makes me reconsider my position on the death penalty - Michael W. May
OMFG WTF!? I am sorry but this makes me SO MAD and even SICK! Why would anyone do this?! There is nothing in this world I care about as much as my 4yr old and I would do anything to protect him, how can this childs family demonstrate such neglect for a child!? Again I have to say, WTF!? - Nicholas Kreidberg
I've got a 4 y.o. boy, cannot imagine something like this. This is horrible, horrible, horrible. Why?!!! - Hutch Carpenter
this really sucks. there are so many people out there that would be great parents, and so deserve to have children, but cannot. and you see this news ... it just makes me cringe. - Neil Bernhart
Sick. I want to throw-up when I read stories like this. Can you imagine what this poor child was thinking for 2 weeks? Hang these ladies, I say. - Ash Buckles
I learned double-space: a) in Europe, b) on mechanical typewriters. It took me a long time to change my habits. - Bora Zivkovic
I still double at times out of old habbit. But in the interest of saving ink and paper, I started single spacing long ago. Now it is out of space and character saving interest ;) - Michael W. May
When did it change from double spaces? This question makes me feel older than that picture of the Nevermind baby all grown up. - Derek Coward
Derek - It changed when the technology allowed us to print clearly enough to distinguish sentences with just a single space. The double space "standard" was just a technological limit. - James Williams (willia4)
Note - If I had a type writer, I would write everything on it. There's something beautiful about old-school type-writer text. And the click-click-click as you go is downright beautiful. I could do without the bell, however. - James Williams (willia4)
Easy answer. If using a monospace font, 2 spaces. If using a variable length, then just one. - Wizetux
Wow, I have over thirty years of habit to break. - Derek Coward
Anxiety is a super-lightweight To-do list application for Mac OS X Leopard that synchronizes with iCal and Mail. Its aim is to provide a streamlined, easily accessible interface to add and check off your tasks, while remaining poised to melt into the background at a moments notice. - Leandro Ardissone
It's a slick looking app, but apps without any sync or cloud capabilities are pretty limited. Wish it had a way of syncing like Evernote. - Pras Sarkar
Ann. Don't like any of my names to be honest - all too short. - Mlibrarianus
Marie - I use the M initial all the time - Susan Beebe
Bart, Yes, not as much as others do saying "Do'h Bart". Everyone thinks that they are the first to say it to me and that they are terribly clever. I don't mind. - Jeremy Kunz
David. Always use my middle initial in anything formal. - Mark VandenBerg
Douglas. Yes. No. - Mark VandenBerg two questions. Would that make your intials MDVB? And what's with the double Captials in your surname/lastname? - Toby Graham
Mary. Technically it should one double name "Mary Carmen" but parents split it. I went by Mary Carmen until about 2nd grade. - Carmen
Grant, I used to know someone who didn't have a middle name, so she just picked a letter she liked and started using that. A 'K' would work for you I think. ;-) - pea gives ♥ a bad name
janine--my grandmother's name, and my mother's middle name. and i love it - Melissa Maskevich
LeeAnne . . . spelled exactly like that, don't fuck it up :P - Lindsey
Casey. It's my dad's last name since my mom never married. - Haggis (Sean)
My middle name is Alan. It's my first name, James, that I've never used. - Alan Simpson
Why not use the first name? I tried having people call me Elizabeth back in high school but I never remembered to answer to it so that was a bit of a fail. sigh. My dorkitude runs deep and long. - pea gives ♥ a bad name
@Toby In Netherlands my last name appears in lists under "B" and is normally listed as "v.d. Berg." The literal translation of "van den" or "van der" is "from the" and is quite common in Netherlands. Hence the abbreviation. I captalize the "B" as a nod to my heritage. But I have always used "MVB" as my initials. - Mark VandenBerg
that's funny, liz, i mean pea. i think i did that too, tried to reinvent myself first year of high school... dorktitude runs quite deep :) - Melissa Maskevich
technically my initials should be peal since I have both my father and mother's last names but I very rarely use both. mostly out of laziness. plus, pea's cuter. *ahem* - pea gives ♥ a bad name
The decision to use the middle name was made when I was born. I don't know why. I've been Alan since then. - Alan Simpson
Charles. Named after my Dad. It's my brother's middle name too. (My parents were very creative.) It's OK. Charles sounds very stuffy to me. Like an old British dude which is so not me. - Daryl Burns
All of my maternal grandfather's daughters have Esther as their middle name. He got around. There's apparently a lot of Esthers in El Salvador because of him. heh. - pea gives ♥ a bad name
Daryl - ex-hubby is Charles. Yet he insists on going by Chuck. Never struck me as a Chuck he is definitely more a Charles. - Mlibrarianus
pea, I might try the K but T might be good for hurling random insults. "What's your name?" "GTF!" - Grant Fitzgerald
Jae, Mei Ling & Ke Keiki o Kala. Yes, I have 3 middle names. One Caucasian, one Chinese & one Hawaiian. They are alright. I don't use them. - Miranda
I'm not telling my middle name, but i have used it before and am considering using it again instead of my surname, kinda like Angelina Jolie. One of the Real Housewives of Atlanta has my middle name as her first name, and it is spelled the exact same way, and I'm always shocked when I see that. - Monique
Middle name is Alexander. I do have an uncle who calls me Alex but he's the only one who ever uses it. - Mark Wilson
I didn't like mine as a kid, but now I appreciate the family history behind it and like it. But I don't use it publicly or commercially, and even avoid using my middle initial commercially. - Logical Extremes

It is ok. The world needs people to proof phone books, and after they are gone we will still appreciate you telling us that we are using good when we should be using well - RAPatton
Just kidding; my wife was an english major and you can do very well as a copywriter. - RAPatton
It's something to be proud of. I'm an English major too, with an emphasis on Creative Writing. And with a minor in Art. And I was an IT Director. Now I'm doing Web Development. Did I mention I also have a Master's in Healthcare Admin? The way I look at it, I'm a more rounded person. - Raoul Pop
Always wanted to ask an English major this question: With the proliferation of the "Combo Meal" do you still have to ask the question about the fries? - Mark VandenBerg
English minor here with concentration in Creative Writing. - AJ Kohn
Mark, I wouldn't know. Ask the Econ majors... :-) - Raoul Pop
English major, Exchange Engineer. I've also been a graphic designer, web chat monitor, and clerked for the WA senate. So, pretty average for an English major - we're pretty versatile :) - Jennifer Dittrich
I'm a more rounded person too, and all it took was Jack In The Box. - Brian Norwood
History major, English minor - Software developer. A liberal arts education is just that, an education. - Peter Simard
In college, I worked for the Academic Computer Center, helping the CS students with their homework - Glen Campbell
Human services major. And no, it's not human resources. Human services is the name my college used for social work since there's apparently a rule against saying you offer a social work degree if the school is not yet certified by the national social work association. So I essentially have a social work degree but with a weird name. :) - Rochelle
Well since we're being honest, I never had the opportunity to go to college at all. I chose love and my parents couldn't help me financially and the gov. didn't really help either. If I did go, I wanted to be either a chef or pastry chef - Sheryl
Now we'll all keep an eye on your grammar. - Jeremy Kunz
I can believe it, but what did it entail? What horrible code was replaced? - klecu
As silly as this sounds, it was logic for a form to e-mail certain people based on their role. And...well...some lines were repeated multiple times throughout the if. Kind of like something I did in 8th grade. - Jared Smith
Our Development Team was just talking about the value of removing lines of code as opposed to adding lines of code. Of course, this only is a benefit if your code still works. :) Great job. - Jeremy Kunz
I'd be up for setting one up during this time frame if you were up for it. Maybe meet at 6pm one of those nights. Maybe shoot the Mission District? - Thomas Hawk
