I was just going to suggest Radio Shack! I don't know why anybody goes there, but if they don't have some conventional phones I don't know who would! One interesting option is Panasonic has (cordless) phones that can both plug into a landline and bluetooth connect to your cell. So no chasing through the house to get to your cell in time, just pick up any number of extensions. Sadly no text message capability last I checked though. Fry's?

You're saying the traffic in DFW is good? Not anywhere in the vast sprawl between D and FW! My one experience with medicine in DFW was a high-volume assembly line geared to move through as many medicare patients as possible. The people are friendly but there's also a hell of a lot of closed-mindedness, racism and anti-intellectualism. The weather is reasonable? Bloody hot to bloody cold with stops in between for *massive* thunderstorms, ice storms, snow storms, tornadoes and maybe a plague of locusts? DFW airport is a good resource but ties you to American Airlines a bit. On the other hand, Vegas is a place I like in small doses but can't stand for much longer. Maybe having real money there makes it better, but for me after I'm spent in a week there's nothing to do that doesn't involve spending money and even then most activities require a walk through a bloody casino. What about opening up beyond these possibilities? Austin or San Antonio are very nice, and much less closed-minded. Ok, have no other options for Nevada... but New Orleans is awesome, and has a casino (crappy Harrah's, sure, but it's nice because it's one of a million things to do)... you didn't mention Laughlin, so you're not looking for a place to crawl away and die... so maybe live instead!!! Los Angeles is a lot more affordable now, areas one would never consider before are becoming very interesting possibilities--like downtown. Though taxes and other living expenses are still higher, I'll grant.

Keeping up with Expat is hard!

An Apple based account will probably be the easiest to use with the best features on Apple products, that's for sure. I just wish they didn't usually go about it in cunty ways that tend to make it harder to ever leave their platform.

Next big one coming up April 15th, some small ones in the meantime too it would seem. CicLAvia Last time was kind of a crowded clusterfuck, but if this route is different (certainly more Hollywood) maybe...

Paul is the state bird of Nevada Politics. Unexpectedly, impractically libertarian.

Damn it, just like the communications-major from Alaska, I was greatly enjoying the break from opossum-head! Clearly the point is "look at me, LOOK AT MEEE!!!", as always, (with either of them), but I'm hoping he endorses Gingrich. If he's 1/10th as rich as he claims (he isn't), it'd clearly be Romney.

Went to CJ's spa in Northridge again the other day. Great exfoliating scrub and massage, but *still** don't understand the guys who post on CL about meeting up there!! The men-only area is small and has no private areas. What, some guys are really into a 2-minute handy or bj in a (feels like) 2000 degree steam room? What am I missing? Because there was this cute young black guy...

Because it'd be just like Apple to make it something proprietary and closed... plus most people prefer IMAP nowadays anyway... Or even more features than the old standard email protocols allow... Hotmail has a nice full-featured app for Android (I'm guessing Apple too, if Apple didn't knock it out of their fucking app store).

Yep, here it is. Fuck Geico.

I keep wondering too. It's like they want to give everybody gaffs to use against them.

I've often wondered if Republican lawmakers have even read the constitution. Clearly any dipshit talking about amendments hasn't. Thing is, it's a short, easy to read thing. Load it on your phone or ebook and next time you're bored on a plane or something read it yourself! I try to every couple years.

But can you access those accounts from say an Android phone?

Geico lost any potential of me being a customer when they fired the voice of the gecko for expressing a (liberal) political view or something.

That is a great point! I'm just worried it becomes a race to the bottom with airlines pushing for ever cheaper. Counterfeit parts fitted in whatever country allows the maintenance companies to do it cheapest maybe?

That is great news, but I though turning over the pensions to gov't was half the point? It's what all the other airlines did--as I understand it cutting existing, earned benefits by about a third, even for those already retired!

Is he gay or straight?

I thought that was the entire crux of his appeal/personality?

eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwww!

Years of watching stuff like Hometime and This Old House wasted, here's all I ever needed to know to equip a home workshop! Tools Explained DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it. WIRE WHEEL: Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light . Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, 'Oh sh--!' SKIL SAW: A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short. PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters. BELT SANDER: An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs. HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle... It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes. VISE-GRIPS: Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand. OXYACETYLENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race. TABLE SAW: A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity. HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper. BAND SAW: A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge. TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect. PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads. STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER: A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms. PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part. HOSE CUTTER: A tool used to make hoses too short. HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit. UTILITY KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use. SON-OF-A-BITCH TOOL: (A personal favorite!) Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling 'Son of a BITCH!' at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need. Hope you found this informative.

My guess is it's actually time spent straining... but sitting idly, derping around on my phone or reading 'till my legs fall asleep can't be good...

Thing is, I've done the own domain but then outsource the email serving to Google, their anti-spam is pretty good and their inter-operation with Android-based phones is second to none!

John Boehner cried today when somebody said "god bless you" after he sneezed and again later when he drank some coffee that was a little too hot.

I'm updated now, haven't noticed a single difference yet. This site still doesn't remember who I am when I close the browser and come back...

Why would somebody have an iPad (or any electronics, really) in checked baggage? If it was out of carry-on that's pretty ballsy! This guy has a lot to say about the TSA.
