I just took mine by hand and it's in the mid-50s. I thought it'd be lower.

Are you saying that some people could get all overwhelemed and be discouraged from trying due to the technical nature of the calculations?

Bunny: have your secretary call. I am calling on behalf of Bunny she is sending you a card and I wish to confirm the spelling of the name to ensure safe delivery. win win you look organized and important?

I LOVE Pucci. I will never be as hot as gwnc in Pucci.

Comrie should be with a Croatian Vogue model, doing lines of blow off of the breasts of strippers at Scores, not dating Hillary Duff. What's next, Sidney Crosby dating Hannah Montana?
Have you seen Hillary duff lately?

Wow. You're really synched with the whole jargon space. Ping me, and we'll dialogue.

On behalf of the rest of the board, I would like to apologize for the brusque and brazen manner in which we respond to sensitive and touching queries such as this.

You have my most sincere apology. On their behalf, I also would like to say I'm sorry for Fringie (you must forgive her, it is her way)and for Flower, for what he would post if he did. Flower is sorry.

I have found that one of the most sensitive things to do when meeting someone is to actually listen to and remember their name. I realize some of us have names that are difficult, especially for Americans who have such simple and boring names for the most part, but showing someone the common courtesy of taking an interest in who they are and remembering their name is always a good idea. To be truly supportive of your friend, I would suggest that when you meet her next mother-in-law, you say hello, you ask her her name, and then you say, "Good to meet you, Mrs. Sarkoziliskistadian", repeating the name over. That way, your scrawled message following her death will not simply scream out "I didn't give a shit while you were alive but don't want to be thought a clod now."

I hope this was helpful.

Sensitively yours,

G^3
Ah, I'll bite...

Why are you clowns giving Sunny a hard time?

Honestly, who the fuck would remember the foreign last name of a friend's mother?

Good fucking grief.

It would be insufferably rude to not send a condolence card to someone whose home you have been to.

Send it in her married name or call and ask for her chosen last name, but for God's sake, don't be a boor.
In this, I agree completely with the chick I banged on one of our road trips to Syracuse.

Yeah, I like the Bunster even though I irritate the living s&*( out of her, but she's cool.

I hope you at least left a tip for her when you stayed.
This is preposterously smug.

I was responding to her inquiry about whether there were internet sites from which you could calculate your heart rate zones. I was not suggesting that she needed to know her zones while she is doing her half mile walk to work. You need to pay better attention.

She got some fine if slightly brusque answers and took offense.

I cannot explain this for the life of me, but this is my favorite nickname I have ever been given on this board.
