Guess what I'm eating right now? A churro -- my first ever. Baja Fresh started selling them, for those who don't know what they're missing (like me did...erm, like I did...n't...).

I want to get a Nikon d90 body and most places offer it at around 900 dollars but there are a couple of places that offer it for about 550. Are those places safe to order from? They don't seem overtly sketchy but I rarely order things outside of amazon.

I stumbled across this thread on Audiocircle- http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/index.php?topic=44200.0 Any thoughts? I'm not that bothered by the initial complaint/premise of the thread, but the way so many people bashed the OP for calling out this behavior seriously disturbs me. Echoes of another place? (at least this time the mods aren't into it- visibily, anyway)

Be sure to read the fine print.

I met this girl and we had been dating for a couple of weeks. I'm not really sure if it is going to work out into a steady relationship. I like her, but I'm not sure if she is the right girl for me. I know Valentines day is right around the corner. If I don't do anything special like taking her out to dinner that weekend, do you think she will dump me? I'm not against going out to dinner, but I am just concerned that it might ramp up expectations. I hope I don't sound like a loser.

Question that doesnt deserve its own thread: What programs do you guys use to download podcasts? I tried Juice and for some reason it doesnt work with my computer and I'm too lazy to try to fix it and I dont really want itunes on my comp

Well? Judging by the way people talk around here, it's not surprising, but at the same time, why is there no girl-fi?

Have a wonderful birthday to my good friend Mike! 40 at last!

Well it seems our Christmas eve dinner is growing by the minute. I need to buy cigars for three Christmas eve guests and a Christmas gift for a dinner guest. All smokers are experienced smokers not the brand conscious once a quarter types like me. My budget is $80, with about $50 allocated for the gift the rest for Christmas eve. Any and all suggestions appreciated.

I thought that some of you may find this interesting. I myself had always tied diabetes and heart problems with obesity, but it seems that this may be another myth perpetuated by the comercial sector. http://www.bigfatfacts.com/

OK, I know that he doesn't visit here and most likely won't see this, but I was struck by the fact that he turns 39 today. In a funny way Duggeh started the whole headphone stand business that I was once involved in. He had a pair of Jecklin headphones, and posted that he was worried they'd get scratches by just setting them on his desk. So without any instruction from him I went out to my shop, found some scrap wood, and built my first headphone stand. I messaged him that I had something that I'd like to send him. He gave me his address and I shipped it off to Scotland. Upon arrival I guess that he was pretty surprised and pretty happy. He made a very lengthy …

I have about 5 GB I want to download off Rapidshare. All broken up into 100 mb file sizes. Given the 50 kb/s restriction and only one download at a time with the free account this is going to take ages. Does anyone know the current download limit for the premium account? June 26 their FAQ said 10 GB per day, but I want to make sure that's right since a download limit isn't even mentioned on their comparison page (comparing free and premium perks). Just want to be sure before I get the three day trial, hope my CC doesn't charge me extra for USD -> EU conversion \

Where do you guys get your packing stuff? I don't have any from stuff I've gotten, which is what I normally use, and the post office is way too expensive for the tiny amount of stuff you get.

Have a great time with family and friends!
