    HDTV, DVD player, and Cable

    I prefer captions to SDH. Usually the SDH is in yellow, and the background sometimes blends in with the subtitles and you don't know what's going on or being said.

    Hundreds of scientists/others attended 3 conferences on global warming as skeptics

    It's quite frightening, too. If Al Gore and co. can convince the government to impose controls on industry, as well as other areas of our lives, in the guise of saving our planet, who knows what kind of country we'll be living in?

    Hundreds of scientists/others attended 3 conferences on global warming as skeptics

    I happen to believe the skeptics, that the planet is going through a cycle of heating and cooling, and that, most importantly, that people alive today are not responsible for "global warming"-that it's been slowly building up for centuries. Recall the Industrial Revolution and pre-natural gas...

    To celebrate the 70th anniversary of Archie comics...

    Geez, I used to obsess over Archie comics! I hope he marries Betty, and they don't throw us a curveball like having him marry Jughead. But he'll probably marry Veronica because nobody expects her to marry Archie.

    What is your LEAST favorite household chore?

    I'd have to say cleaning the bathroom, because it's so labor-intensive. But I get a good feeling when it's all clean and sparkling and smells good-which lasts about 24 hours then it looks like it hasn't seen a sponge in weeks.

    As a child what did you used to love doing?

    Reading, playing outside-I remember Kick the Can, Mother May I, and Hide and Seek outside with the kids on the street. Riding my bike. Doing almost anything you can do outside-climbing trees and fences, various games like badminton, jacks, etc.; roller skating, watching bugs. I think in the...

    Sunspots/solar storm

    I'm not worried. What happens will happen, and I can't do anything to change it or prevent it. It's pointless to get worked up over something that may or may not have a huge impact. I wonder if they make 2000 SPF sunscreen? :hmm:

    Sunspots/solar storm

    I read a story in the newspaper this morning about solar storms and sunspots that might cause interference in communications in the near future: Spaceweather.com -- NOAA Predicts Solar Cycle 24 I'll have to remember this if I have problems with the Internet-I bet people will think their...

    Snake Head in Veggies At TGI Friday's

    I originally thought that the customer put the snake head there so he could sue. I find it hard to believe that the kitchen staff didn't spot that, I mean it's kind of big and doesn't look like a vegetable. After reading so many stories about staff spitting in food and worse, I really have...

    What am I a two year old??

    I've had people stick their face very, very close to mine and talk, I have to gently push people back from me so I can see them properly. Where do they get that idea that I can't see them unless they're really close? In the hospital, I've been wheeled on a gurney while someone was talking to...

    Are you collecting anything?

    Like Cheri, I collect fridge magnets from places I've been. I have a lot of books, too, but I don't really think of myself as a collector. I just wonder what's the difference between a "collection" and "accumulation"?

    Purple home has neighbors seeing red

    I like it. I like seeing colors on houses, especially in places where it rains a lot or is cloudy-seeing colors can cheer people up. But it needs to be maintained-somehow, colors look worse than white when allowed to peel.

    Final Verdict-Phil Spector, Music Producer

    He'll probably get a slap on the wrist compared to the average Joe. I'll be surprised if he does any jail time at all, and even then it'll probably be at a country club prison.

    Boyfriend's family

    My two cents... I think you need time to adjust to your hearing quickly getting worse. I think your bf needs to back off a little bit and give you time. If you can stand it, it'd be worth trying to go to his family gatherings and spending time in the kitchen making food, etc. and talking...

    That's good to hear! I'm glad you had fun, now remember this next time you freak out-just take a deep breath and dive into whatever it is! :)

    Good old TTY...

    When I was a kid, I had one of those gigantic, green TTYs that were real TTYs, with the daisy wheel and the yellow paper. It made noise when it was on, and I still remember the smell of it. Comparing that huge thing with a BlackBerry is like comparing a '50s computer that took up an entire...
