I have a relative who’s just tech-savvy enough to use a computer efficiently but she considers updates to be a waste of time (admittedly she’s pretty busy) and ignores all the update notifications. It drives me nuts but if I try to update anything on her machine she threatens to hand my ass to me on a platter. I don’t…

I shower in the morning. Since I’m an office worker I really don’t accumulate that much dirt during the day. As far as tension goes, well, that’s what massage chairs are for. Bought one on sale just as the new (and insanely pricey) models were hitting the stores and a fifteen minute turn in it in the evening and I’m…

Uh, question... where do you find a savings account that pays 1% interest?

The music. The MUSIC! AAAAUUUUUGGGHH! KILL! KILL IT WITH FIRE!

well this is a welcome development. I’m a male but I’ve never understood the typical American male’s obsession with gigantic mammaries, perhaps because I wasn’t born in the U. S. They just seem so grotesque and not at all attractive.

Why can’t they make boots that dribble salt from the soles as you walk? Load them up before you venture outside and melt the snow and ice as you walk. Our maybe boots with heated soles.

That Mig-29K pilot probably got tired of waiting in a holding pattern and switched off both engines. “Screw this, I need to go to the head!”

I just took a look at my list of filters to avoid getting my inbox totally swamped over the years and all I can say is, My God, what have I done!!!

Agreed those rules appear to be aimed at taming other people’s inboxes, not yours.

How this show ever made it past season three is beyond me. It needs to die.

I meant over time (as the sides of the road in question get built up) not over distance.

The problem with these classifications is that over time the nature of the road (drive/lane/Avenue/etc) can change but the classification doesn’t when it’s appended to the name. A “drive” can become a “lane” can become a “street” can become an “avenue” but does “Main Street” ever become “Main Avenue”?

I’m old school - still carry cash around (though I also have credit cards in my wallet). I find that paying cash helps control my spending.

“The better questions you ask, the better valuable your answers will be.”

But no cash, right?

I just finished replacing all my shoelaces with Lock Laces. Don’t know why I didn’t do it long before this. Slip-on athletic shoes that tighten with a simple tug are the bee’s knees!

I would say Five Guys were I still living in the States. But I live in Quezon City in the Philippines now and here there’s Charlie’s Grind & Grill, where you can order Black Truffle Fries -fries cooked in truffle oil and sprinkled with crumbled fried chicken liver served in a Styrofoam tray all by themselves(any…

A hardware button to disconnect from the network instantly and stay off. I don’t like the idea of Microsoft or whoever being able to start a laptop remotely to install some stupid update and kill its battery in the process without my knowing about it. It’s got to be a hardware switch. Software switches can be gotten…

Heh . In Pittsburgh they had stop signs at the top of on-ramps instead of merge lanes. That made merging REAL interesting.

For sure, having money in the bank is still key .
