  • It's been a long (long) time but I remember school lunches. Not that I ever bought them unless the cafeteria was serving hamburgers or pizza. My mom, being prudent with my father's money, always packed me a lunch: a sandwich, but sometimes a…
  • I have never been a morning person. Actually, I'm not a "waking up" person, I don't care what time of day it is. My kids find me a push over most of the day, but you don't mess Mom if you wake up at night. State your business and get back in bed, cu…
  • cleaning tip: baking soda (you know, the Arm and Hammer stuff); sprinkle it over the carpet and let it sit for an hour or so, and then vaccum it up. It kills smells like you wouldn't believe and won't leave behind the perfume smell that Frebreeze …

  • Moose tracks. it's probably an Alaska exclusive, but I couldn't say for certain. It's vanilla ice cream swirled with fudge and miniature peanut butter cups. yum! yum! yum! They've also started making it with chocolate ice cream--even better. O…
  • The whole discussion is "I want my cake and eat it too!" Why are the "fundamentalist" muslims wrong? How can you walk into a country and say, "this Islamic principle is okay, but that one has to go out the door?" What is the basis for "human righ…
  • I can't believe they actually included this! Ent In all humility I cannot say that I succeed as an Ent, but that is my "role model." Look at the log in. Get it? Fangorn was the elvish name for Treebeard. I said it was an sicknes…
  • I dropped out of doing much posting because I got sick of being irritated. I really don't handle confrontation well; I have a rather nasty temper. And I don't like the over-represented attitude that Christians are supersititious fools and Creationis…
  • Quote: Originally posted by curiousuburb more dwarves, no orcs. (trolls, goblins, and evil elves though). ... Goblins ARE Orcs. The elves are not evil; they simply don't like dwarves. It is the wood elves of Mirkwood who send Legolas t…
  • I have to agree that most director's cuts--like 90%--are an improvement over the original theatrical release, even if the original was great. But not always. I loved the original Highlander--and the director's cut was better. But Highlander 2-…
  • Well, my first job is Mom. I have four kids, that makes it a full time job. After that I'm a Teacher because I am homeschooling three of the four at the moment. My other job is an editor/graphic artist for college textbooks, primarily math, Engl…
  • I didn't watch the halftime show--and had managed to miss actually viewing J.J.'s boob until I started going through this thread. In fact, I don't watch TV and this is EXACTLY why. I don't need some punk MTV producers and lame performers to giv…
  • Quote: Originally posted by progmac i would try the grape thing, but i think my vision is to bad. according to my eye dr. it is 20 / 800 (i can see at 20 ft what most people can see at 800 feet) pretty bad. i wonder if it is out of the range…
  • Quote: Originally posted by jante99 The main point of the article is that the guy smoked six joints a day for 11 years straight. Eventually the build up of THC must have gotten to him. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. That's what I suspect…
  • "Hardwired" yes, but instinct, no. But then, these are misleading terms for a discussion that is philosophical and theological (I see no distinction between the two). You would be better to ask, do you believe in the Fall? Do you believe in Si…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Daver Is that the best South Central Alaska can do? Well, it hit -32 this morning (that's Farenheit), which is plenty cold to me. If I really wanted to freeze my behinney off, I'd move to Fairbanks. But I ain't ca…
  • Quote: Originally posted by FellowshipChurch iBook Fangorn one of my good friends is in Seward Alaska right now working on fiber optics systems. Stay Warm! Fellows I LOVE Seward but wouldn't live there. If another big quake hit Alas…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Carol A I LOVED Alaskan Gold beer, that I drank in Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway. Do they send it to the lower 48 at all? (Of course, the Europeans would think it was pond water, like all American beer. ) Do…
  • South Central Alaska: -24. Yup, that's a negative sign.
  • I don't watch TV, especially for news. (Rent movies only). I get most of my news from the Wall Street Journal and foxnews.com, *conservative light flashes on forehead* with a quick check of Yahoo!'s top stories, drudge (sometimes) and a couple o…
  • Grew up in Texas and LOVE TexMex. (I make some mean enchiladas myself.) But as for local dishes, well moose tacos are quite the treat. Halibut in a rice wrapper with a soy-cilantro sauce--my mouth drools just thinking about it. And King salmon wi…
