  • Jingle Bells. Nothing personal against the song, but with four kids it got "overdone" about 2 1/2 kids ago. Doesn't help that the 5 year old LOVES to sing it year round. Jingle Bells in June, that's enought to get to anyone.
  • Well, if you are going bang for buck, Yellow Tail. I prefer the Shiraz. It's not pretentious, but it's good for casual drinking. It's all up front, very fruity and, like I said, no pretentions. I would rather drink that then a "legitimate" wine for…

  • I frelling LOVED it. In fact, I CRIED! My kids thought I was crazy. And at the end, I wanted to go home and pull out Star Wars (A New Hope) and watch it all over again. Way more action than drama, but I think Lucas stuck to his strengths…
  • It's a good 2500+ miles (or 4100 KM) from New York to San Fransciso, so you will definitely want to fly. Even then, you'll be devoting a day just to travel. Amtrak (www.amtrak.com) doesn't show any direct travel between New York and the West Coast, …
  • Guiness is what we are cooking the corned beef in. We'll be drinking Bushmills. There's Irish blood throughout both sides of my family and some day I want to visit Ireland. What is the general reaction to Americans in Ireland?
  • Don't live there so I can find this highly amusing. One reason (among many) that I got married was so that I DON'T have to do things like assemble furniture. In the last 12+ years, I have assembled exactly zero pieces of furniture--and I hardly f…
  • Quote: Originally posted by hmurchison cute...enjoy him at that size. Man it seems like only yesterday that my son was that size and now he's almost 3 years old. It's about that time to start indoctrinating him in the ways of the Mac. Time to…
  • Anyone who understands my handle won't be the least bit surprised by my desktop. Actually, I have an alternate desktop for those times when I have to run OS9, but I'm not proficient enough to post a usable image. It's a great shot of Moya f…
  • 68% Dixie. I thought it would be lower in all honesty. I was raised in Texas but my mother is from Massachusetts. Plus, I've lived on the West coast for the last 9+ years. I have to admit I "lied" on the "ya'll" question. "Ya'll" is my first ins…
  • YUCK! I loved Battlestar Galactica when I was a kid, even if it was corny. It was science fiction and it was fun. I didn't get past the first 30 minutes. Starbuck as a woman?! Give me a break! And not just a woman, but one that looks like a m…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Kung Fu Guy Enterprise should have been cancelled long ago. Sci-fi aside, it was an awful action drama that would have been cancelled by any other network during season 1. It's problems are too numerous. From boring…
  • I just finished The Making of England to 1399 by Hollister/Stacey/Stacey. Absolutely fascinating. I'm thinking about going through it with my kids BEFORE we study American History. What happened at the American Revolution makes so much more sense w…
  • Quote: Originally posted by ColanderOfDeath ... For all the Europeans et al, when in Rome, do as the Romans please. I've seen so many Europeans not tip when they really should be when in the US. That's considered just as rude here as all of that…

  • Ha! It's all a PLOT by Enfamil . What exactly was the point of that article? 40 women out of the whole Northwest--what does that mean?! One of the things I loved about living in Washington was that nursing was the norm. I moved there from Texa…
