@NatalieErin: Heh. Whenever the detectors go off, I just turn around and shrug my shoulders, then keep walking. Nobody cares.

When Old navy started putting security tags in their jeans, I didn't realize what it was. I was setting off alarms going in and out of every store I went to.

@phildogger: I do. Sometimes I crave a lonely fast food burger and bring it home to join Mr. Beer in a tastesplosion. Fries - sometimes. But rarely do I buy a drink.

@squinko: Explain that to my wife. For the last five years she's been going on about how she needs to get pregnant. (She does think it'll fix a lot of her ailments though. Her mother's body was completely out of whack until the first child. Then everything just started working right.)

@SabreDC: Right. Or go through a highly publicized abortion. Then possibly a court case from the "real" parents because of it.

@gStein: I use Twitter because it's completely public. I've met a number of people from my area and around the country through Twitter. I follow who I want so the my feed is (usually) always relevant.

Facebook, on the other hand, is full of high school and college classmates I don't generally care to talk to but feel obligated to "friend." So my Facebook feed is full of status updates I really don't care to read. I know you can remove items from your feed but I find Twitter's method of all or nothing a lot more appealing.

I'm so happy I don't have any credit card debt. I think my Providian->WaMu->Chase card is at 29.99% or something as ridiculous. I never cared because I never let the balance carry over into the next month.

There are enough choices on their menu to allow a somewhat balanced diet. Get salads - lose the dressing. Get grilled chicken sandwiches - again, lost the dressing and maybe the bun. They have fruit, water, milk, cereals.

I could do it.

@azsumrg1rl: Being public is kind of the point of Twitter. That's like renting a billboard but only letting your friends see it.
