    Saturday is the day

    I'm still alive. I may be dead after Saturday though... I'm getting married. :) Here's the thirty second "my life" update: getting married, bought a house, sold a house, selling a house, sort-of moving soon, parents finished their new house, in-laws (to be) building a new house, traveling a...

    Honeymoon talk

    erm, well, I haven't made any kind of announcement to the board yet, but I'm now engaged. :drink: I'm interested in some suggestions/ideas on possibly honeymoon locales, since that is my biggest responsibility at the moment for wedding planning stuff (thank God!). Exotic, Romantic...

    Ethical question

    Careful of those of you who answered color... the rest of the world might notice just how yellow you are.

    Anyone ever buy a diamond online?

    Ideal/Premium refers to the cut. I'm not sure that includes polishing as well, but I suppose it depends on which certification agency you ask.

    What's the deal?

    Dang... you snuck in on me pretty quick... nearly got caught with my pants down but then thought better of it and pulled them back up. :) I've responded so many times that way that I honestly didn't catch myself until several seconds later. Figured some people might be really scratching their...

    Anyone ever buy a diamond online?

    Here's some FYI on the subject: (1) Many online diamond wholesale or retail (whichever you choose to call them) outfits will send a stone or two to a local jeweler of your choice for you to inspect before actually purchasing. No money up front. Eliminates the chances of being sold something...

    Dodge Ball

    22.923 after a few tries. The motion isn't random but repeatable. It only took a few tries to find a good route to last 20+ seconds. I imagine that a few minutes woud yield 30+ seconds. Beyond that, they probably move fast enough that random mistakes would keep me from getting much higher...

    Anyone ever buy a diamond online?

    Yes, I know the prices are artificially inflated by the DeBeers family. Yes, I know that the diamond market is likely to collapse within the next 5 to 10 years due to the perfection of cultured diamonds. Yes, I still have to buy one now. :) I've looked at a dozen or more "online diamond...

    General website/webhosting questions

    OK, here are some idiot questions coming from the SciTech mod! :) I do good with general tech stuff... computers, cars, gadgets, etc. I'm fairly clueless though when it comes to the creation and operation of a website. I'm starting a new business, and naturally will need a website as part...

    teachers are overpaid?

    While I also feel that good teachers should be paid more, I can't help but think of the age old saying: If you can't.... teach. Meaning if you aren't capable of doing anything else, you can always teach. Now, I know there are a lot of teachers who chose that profession because they have a...

    No such thing as free speech in the new world order

    Is Saddam a murderer? I'm sure there are other quotes similar to this, but I didn't feel like searching extensively. So, do you consider Saddam a murderer or not? Did he ever actually pull the trigger?

    No such thing as free speech in the new world order

    ;) I do post my thoughts from time to time. Sometimes they agree with Gonz, sometimes they don't. I disagree with his views on freedom of speech in this thread, yet I defended his right to free speech in another. I want a jelly doughnut. I think I'll go have one...

    The rulings have only begun

    Ban who? Are we not allowed to have our own opinions now, or God forbid to actually express them? Where are the personal attacks? Defamation? Intolerably foul attitude and language? Desire to do nothing but start trouble? Jesus... what is the "Real World" forum for if not to express...

    No such thing as free speech in the new world order

    Every right must have boundaries, or it can not remain a right for any length of time. Your rights and my rights may be in conflict, and logically we cannot both exercise those rights 100% at the same time. For example, your right to smoke and my right to breath clean air may be in conflict...

    Femi-Nazis stay out

    It's not quite that simple. In some fields, what you are allowed to do at work (much less what you actually accomplish) is directly tied to your senority (years of experience in the field, at least). Makes it hard to directly judge someone's ability/performance.
