I'm kind of with Suicane on this one. She's never really done much for me either.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Anniston is a beautiful woman.

Whether she's hot varies with both her effort & my mood.

[CU Tiger]

I think JA is hotter than a glowing coal ember...but she gives off the vibe of an unenthusiastic disinterested lay.

Delane Mathhews on Dave's World?

this, exactly.

[Honolulu_Blue]

I had a huge thing for Maura Tierney in her NewsRadio days. Huge.

[stevew]

She still looks good on the Affair

[ISiddiqui]

And shows some skin as well in The Affair.

I actually feel a little bit sorry for anyone who didn't notice the hotness there.

because of the monkey?

I've thought way too much about this.

Never thought JA or Monica was hot on Friends. Thought Phoebe was the pick of the lot. Said so out loud. Got a lot of hate ...

I always saw her as rather plain. Vicki Lewis did it for me though. I mean really.

Tierney was stop-whatever-I'm-doing-and -watch territory for me.

I had to Google Lewis 'cause I knew who you meant but didn't know whatever became of her. She's aged quite well based on some 2013 pics, might be better looking to me now than back then.

[cuervo72]

I liked 'em both. Not to mention Khandi Alexander.

[Suicane75]

God yes. I've probably seen every episode at least 50 times and I'm still taken aback by some of the outfits they put her in, for no discernible reason on an otherwise normal sitcom. There are episodes where she's pretty much just wearing lingerie with a suit jacket over it.

Was she Harry Andersons wife? My memory says yes indeed. Don't remember her from anything else though.

Sounds like a good title though: made you think was one thing, turned out it was something else...

Looking at the recent quotes on my Google Finance page, I see nothing but major red...with the exception of one fast food company facing a national food safety issue and having just announced they are shutting all stores for a day in response. And that's nicely in the green, of course.

Gofundme setup by a lady named "Cinnamon" who spent all her money on powerball tickets:

Please help me and my family as we have exausted all of our funds. We spent all of our money on lottery tickets (expecting to win the 1.5 billion) and are now in dire need of cash. With your small donation of at least $1.00, a like and one share, I’m certain that we will be able to pick ourselves up from the trenches of this lost and spend another fortune trying to hit it big again! PLEASE, won’t you help a family in need. DONATE NOW.

If you have a minute or two, read the yahoo summary and a few of the comments. Pretty amazing....

If you knew, even as a child, when an election was coming up by the fact roads got a fresh load of gravel ... you might be from a small town

[CU Tiger]

heh.
Try this one on for size.

My county passed a sales tax initiative ~15 years ago for roads. One of the items was to pave every gravel road in the county. To generate extra income the county sold off their dump trucks, their gravel pit and storage yard, their excavators, you name it.

12 years later they still are not even 30% complete in the paving of the gravel roads.

You can lose compact cars on certain roads around here.

Gotta love when your neighbors are out of town, and their house alarm goes off at 2am. Sheriff deputies came out, nothing was amiss. Then the alarm went off every 45 minutes or so for the rest of the night. They ended up leaving a squad car in the driveway. Not sure I have enough coffee on hand to get through the day today.

My parents winter in Arizona (December-April). This year my dad decided to install a security system before he left. It doesn't call the cops, but it calls me. Not 100% sure why, but that thing has called me at least six times, usually between 2 and 5 AM. The first time I thought something was actually going on so I went over at 3:30 AM and did a walkthrough, nothing suspicious. So now anytime the damn thing goes off I just roll over and go back to sleep. Told my parents that their security system has cried wolf too many times.

What's the point of Target Pharmacy's auto-refill if it drops off every couple of months. I understand if the doctor sends in a new Rx when the auto-refill is up and a new number is assigned, but this is literally just in the middle of the auto-refill cycle. All of a sudden it is no longer on auto-refill and my number is no longer attached to any refill notification.

I'm glad that I didn't pay any money for the iPad pro I'm trying since with Google not supporting it yet, it's kind of worthless since you're running an iPhone design on a ginormous screen. Frustrating.

I believe once it gets past a certain point, sane police departments yank the wires ... unless of course this department is like many & issues the homeowner a bill for each false alarm.

God almighty, Comcast is annoying as balls. A couple days ago, I get this email saying, thanks for upgrading your service (I have Performance Internet and that's it... the email said I upgraded to Blast Plus, which is Blast Internet and basic TV for like $15 more a month - probably a promo price though). I was like, what the... I didn't upgrade anything.

So I had to call the next day, the customer service person was really nice and said that last evening at around 7, the service was upgraded, but they can cancel the order. However, they apparently already started to ship the TV box... so I get this email later saying it had shipped... I call again. The Customer service rep is nice again, saying there is a UPS return label; you can just ship it back. Apparently the UPS package arrives today.

All the while, I'm like, how in the holy fuck did y'all upgrade my service without my authorization? Did someone call in pretending to be me? Did I accidentally add a plan to my online cart and you went ahead and finalized the transaction?! How is any of this possible? Super frustrating... I totally changed my online password, but am a bit concerned and confused about the whole thing.

Our PD would charge for each time the police responded plus a fee for the car in the driveway.

[CU Tiger]

False alarms are a huge deal in the alarm industry.
Most metro areas now require an alarm permit or they wont dispatch.

What is really concerning is the monitoring company. (for those that dont know, no US alarm system calls the police directly, instead it transmits the detection signal to a company owned or sub-contracted monitoring center and they in turn call the police dispatch number. By UL and NBFAA (National Burglar and Fire Alarm Association) standards you never even contact authorities for a multiple alarm past 2 within a 24 hour priod on the same sensor or zone.

If the police have been out that many times either:
A) The alarm monitoring company is incompetent and you need a new one
B) This is a local PD scam to charge a false alarm fee. Was very prevelant in Charlotte, NC in the early 2000s before they were caught.

We live in an unincorporated area, so the Sheriff's department covers things. The current sheriff used to live in that house, so maybe they didn't update the records that he moved.

Turns out that my neighbors weren't on vacation. The husband was in Dallas undergoing a liver transplant.

With the football season over, you now have time to correct that.

[stevew]

I'm midway thru season 5 on a binge. It's amazing how good some of the B plots are. Like the Close Talker, the Raincoats and Schindler's List were all the same episode.

[PilotMan]

The best thing about Sienfeld as opposed to other 90's hits, like Friends, is that it has aged very, very well and it holds up well over time. To me, Friends hasn't.

[stevew]

The worst part is typically the stand up spots. Julia Louis Dreyfus just does some utterly amazing work covering for the fact that Jerry is not a very good actor.

[Logan]

I think they dropped the mid episode stand up after the second season, at the latest. After that, it was just the opening credits for a few seasons.

[Groundhog]

Maybe it's my age, but I do not find Seinfeld has aged very well at all. I saw every episode the first time they aired, but I haven't been able to sit through an episode in years.

[Suicane75]

I just yawned and had a big piece of cheese from my pizza fall out of my beard. I think this is the moment I've officially given up on life.

I'm with you. I used to love the show and now just find it overblown and annoying.

[Draft Dodger]

well I never really liked Seinfeld and I certainly haven't seen anything to change that lately

[Suicane75]

Heretics. The all of you.

[Dutch]

Seinfeld was awesome in the 70's...
