    hmmm. are you sure? sounds like an awful lot of rationalizations. if your supervisor knew you wrote 30,000+ forum posts on his dime, do you think he'd be cool with it? or, is that something you don't want him to know? huh. seems sort of.....dishonest. :(

    Yes. Yes, it is an M&M Pretzel, but that's not important right now. :cool:

    You go? ;)

    (Why don't you go and F*** OFF? :mad: )

    Yes. (1) I am sure. (2) Not all posts are on his dime, so I think he'd be cool with me posting a few during the work day and even during my breaks. (3) It's OK if he finds out, because all that would happen would be I'd be warned not to spend too much time away from work, which I don't.

    I am being honest with my responses. :(

    SwoLy, why do you have the capital L in your moniker? And what's with the capital D? Some of us are lousy with a keyboard, and finding that shift key is a burden almost too much to bear. Spill it, SwoLy-D! I have my own theory, and you can tell me if I'm wrong. Your moniker has a secret. Take the 3 letters that are capitalized, switch the positions of the S and the L, and what do you have?

    LSD!!! You're secretly one stoned cat, and honestly, it explains a lot.

    Mr. Deckard, sir:
    It was a nickname I have from the old IRC days where I used to alternate caps and lowercase. I just kept the capitalization because it looked "different." The D is for my defense in playing basketball. Your theory is incorrect, but it is interesting to see that if I was to try LSD, I'd have something related in my nickname. Good stuff, sir. Thank you! :p

    No, they have not.

    Which of the following two sentences is correct?

    A) The Texans signed Brian Cushing to a $55.6 million contract extension.

    B) The Texans signed Brian Cushing to a $55.6 million dollar contract extension.

    I was taught a looooooong time ago that A was the correct sentence. You don't type the word "dollar" when the dollar sign is used. It's read as "55.6 million dollars." However, in the last several years I have seen people attach the word "dollar" when the dollar sign is used. When I read a sentence like B it says "55.6 million dollars dollars." That's like the ol' department of redundancy department.

    Just wondering if there has been a change in teaching when to type the word "dollar" when the dollar sign is used. Thanks!

    Were you an only child, the middle child, or the last of a non-nuclear amount of kids (>3)? Were television and movies restricted in your household, or were they your only social and emotional refuge? How much of a role would they have played in your linguistic and grammatical development? At what point did your ex-familial social environment transition to one was that predominantly non-Hispanic: school-age, college or upon entering the workforce?

    Swoly: My plan for riches has always been to be hit by a rich person's car. I imagine there will be months (years?) of miserable rehab, but if the dude is a billionaire (and he is, when I play this out in my head) I'll still make a fat stack off that.

    Anyway, my question is: how would one best position oneself to be run over by a billionaire?

    I do not think I've ever had an In-N-Out burger. I can safely say that, up to this point, I'd prefer WHATABURGER. :eek:
    No.

    Explain to her that this is something that you enjoy and makes you happy, and that if you both enjoy it together, it will strengthen your relationship. This could also help in other areas of your relationship. Don't force her to like it if she ends up not enjoying it with you. Just be honest about it and let her know that this is something that keeps you entertained and in no way taking away from your time with her. As a plus, her being with you watching a game live or in front of the TV will be the best time shared. Let her share something she likes and you don't, also, and partake in that. Relationships are 50% from both you and your partner. :cool:

    Your assumption of having A as the correct answer is what I would go with. I've learned that, too, in my short life of being an English speaker. I believe that the dollar sign is there for a reason, and that people know to hold and say "dollar" after the figure. Consider this sentence:
    "I like my 55-million gallon tank for my Orca." <- it has the units after the number. :cool:

    Last of three. Television and movies were a family thing in mine. Nowadays, TV and movies do not play a large role. I grew up learning English in ESL classes in the United States and only watched a handful of English-speaking programs in Mexico, and knew little to no English. I transitioned in my middle-to-high school years. I think that was the right time for me to "transition", because I already knew the proper grammar in Spanish, and now the English one came easy.

    It will be months OR years, or even FOREVER, depending on the extent of your injuries.
    It depends on how badly you want to be run over to just be injured and not killed. I believe walking in front of a billionaire's car at probably around less than 40 miles per hour would be best to get injured only and not killed. :eek:

    How old were you when you first saw the Ninja Turtles movie. (1990) What was your first impression of the film and does it still hold up as one of the Greatest movies ever made?

    Mr. ILoveWhiteGirls, I believe I saw The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie at a video store where I worked, sometime around the early 1990's (could have been 1994?), way after its release... so probably 19. I thought it was well-made and entertaining for the generation of my time, and I gave it two SwoLy thumbs up at the time. I do think, however, that it holds its place as one of the greatest Cartoon-to-live-action films EVER, along with the first Transformers and a couple other superhero movies. I'd give it an 8/10 in the SwoLy scale. :cool:

    In general, it would probably be in the 60's or 70's place of BEST 100 movies ever made.

    I do, sometimes, if I notice they constantly make the same mistakes, or when I know it is important to be corrected. When they ask me to, I ALWAYS do. When they tell me not to, I do not. :cool:
