Weekend Open Thread

Finally cooler weather! Have a nice weekend, all.

Looks like Sprint will be trying hard to get people to jump from AT&T & Verizon by offering a $400 credit for new Family plans with 3 lines.

What is one supposed to do on the actual weekend?

yes... sleep!!!!!!

Hmmmm for most the weekend is simply an extension of the workweek only instead of being paid work for someone else its a honey do workend.

I will double down on the sleep suggestion. But, if sleep is not your thing, or you're just not tired...

There's probably something of interest in the area. The local farmers market is always good for "people watching". My favorite is Reading Terminal Market in Philly.

If all else fails, go to the local pub, watch a ball game, and forget about work. That's the important thing. Forget about work.....

Jazz, RTM is in my top five favorite places right up there with Citizens Bank Park (was a fav long before the Phils won the Series), lake Wallenpaupuck in the Poconos ( a friend took me up there a few years ago & I was hooked), and Dublin Ireland. Oh, and not to be left off the list, Ft. Liquor ER Lauderdale, Florida. My fav in Liquordale is the Hyatt Pier 66. Nice, but not snooty like the Sheraton on A1A. Water taxi off the back end of the marina, and the coolest late nite crowd in the pool area. I was down there in Feb. for a post job loss couple days off, truly cathartic for me.

Oh, and there's this little German bar right off A1A down an alley next to what USED to be the Doubletree and if memory serves is now a Courtyard by Marriott that's pretty damn cool.

I imbibed a bit too much while I was down there. It was my first time in about 6 years. When I left I kinda had that "had enough of 'Lauderdale" feeling but I find myself ready to plan my next mid winter trip.

What a joy it is to have some good memories to bring us through the rough times.....

What is one supposed to do on the actual weekend?

Facebook's stock fell to $19 for the first time on Friday, losing half its market value since the company's initial public offering in May.

The stock dipped 87 cents, or 4 percent, to briefly hit $19, just minutes before it closed the trading day at $19.05. Facebook's shares ended the week down nearly 13 percent.

Facebook's stock has struggled since the company's mid-May IPO. It closed its first day of trading barely above its initial offering price of $38. It has been below that level since.

The stock has been down on 38 trading days, up on 25 days and unchanged on one since its initial public offering.

Investors have been concerned about the social network's ability to increase revenue and make money from its growing mobile audience. Many analysts, however, hold positive opinions of the company's long-term prospects.

I thought they wanted to stay private all along but were required to go public due to the number of shares.

Where do you start?. at the tip or one of the legs? This is important stuff!!!!

Glad to see your post!!!

Why is Valve software such a pain in the ass?
