I don't want to seem like a bitch, but isn't there something strange about this? "I take my out-of-town friends to...Ground Zero (which is right next to Century 21, a great discount department store)" So five years later, it's just a tourist trap stop on the way to a shopping spree?

Come to think of it, if you put it on threaded view, you could click on any of the responses. Unfortunately, due to constant Sticky Overload, I have had to stop using the threaded view.
(Dealmac knows how to have a Sticky that stays unthreaded no matter which way you view their forum. I wish someone here could learn how to do that. On the other hand, here we have "Switch Views" whic

There's a very old Charles Addams cartoon of a man saying to his wife, "Big deal, there's a cardinal in the bird feeder". Meanwhile we can see out the window and there is a little man in their bird feeder, dressed in robes and a miter. I Googled but I can't find it.
I thought the bird flu joke was funny. It's probably better reading it then hearing one of those drive time jocks hyper

Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you were waiting until the last minute because you believed your 3 years of Applecare wouldn't start until you bought it (when it fact the 3 years counts backwards to when you bought the computer).
I would guess that Mike Sellers is right with his answer.
I just logged in at Apple and it appears that all you need is the product serial number and the appleca

There's no reason to push yourself up against the wall like this. Applecare kicks in from the time you buy the machine, not the Applecare.

This "what a stay-at-home Mom would make if she got paid" idea has been around since I was a child, and probably long before then. It's supposed to be some sort of morale builder I guess. Who exactly is going to pay these women, anyhow? The whole thing is silly in my opinion.

I learned two things today:
1. Doug Henning is dead.
I didn't know what had happened to him, so after I saw the photo brofoski posted I googled him and was sorry to see he had died. It sounds like he sort of went off the deep end the last decade or so.
2. The 1953 Tony Curtis movie "Houdini" is not available on DVD.
I would like to see that movie again someday. It was totally ri

I'm not sure that I personally would mind a wind farm in my backyard. It might be sort of hypnotic to lie on your back and watch the windmills turning. However, since my backyard is 28' x 12' this is highly unlikely to happen.

I happen to be a big believer in "if you live in the U.S. you need to learn English." I just don't think The Star Spangled Banner is really the arena in which to have that argument.
That same year, on March 3, President Herbert C. Hoover signed the Act establishing Key's poem and Smith's music as the official anthem of the United States.
The new law, however, did not specify an of

Those sound like good reasons as far as I can tell. I do dispute the "doesn't use valuable Cape Cod land" reason, because I think a case could be made that what makes the land so valuable is developers want it. And it would be nicer for Cape Cod to have a wind farm on it than more housing. The Cape has gotten so junked up since I was a child. I think I'd rather see land used for a wind

Isn't it just a recording?
When Whitney Houston's recording of the National Anthem came out, did we think it meant we all had to start singing it like she did and marry an @#$%& and start doing drugs? When Jimi Hendrix recorded it, did we think we were no longer allowed to sing it but had to play it on a guitar?
This is a fake issue to make us look away from real issues. As usual.

I know it's some people's idea of a good time to bash Kennedy, but I think it is simplistic to say that "Hypocritical rich liberals living on Cape Cod are trying to doom a energy conservation plan that would bring wind power to the cape." It's a complicated issue that has pitted environmentalists against environmentalists. It's not like everyone else in the world supports it and only th

Well, to me that indicates that I should not take the trailer very seriously, let alone the movie. But then I have never claimed to be able to understand Mel Gibson's thought processes.

I don't see the difference between "my husband" and "my mother" or "my father". I don't think it indicates possession, it is simply shorthand for "the person I am married to." Who in their right mind wants to say, for example, "I need to buy a birthday gift for the person I am married to"?
To me, "the wife" sounds like something a 195

I'm not at all happy with this red state/blue state stuff. I don't like the trend to move everyone to the left and the right and turn us all into extremists. I remember when you could be a Republican or a Democrat and not be considered "right" and "left". I guess I will go with the usual suspects and blame the media for this. It's a damned shame because it adds nothing to this
