2. Denny is not dancing from blissful self-satisfaction, so he is an alien planted robotron.

I am never wrong. Ask my children.

Already been done.

It's chemical formula is C2H6O

The idea of not having chronic pain in my older years is appealing. Any substance that would allow me to have more energy and vitality would also be welcome. However, I don't think that I would be interested in a pill that would greatly extend my life. Totally agree with you on this Doug. With some...

It is not only communications coming from schools and businesses. The level of writing has declined in much of the written media. I see errors regularly in print -- local paper, CNN, Slate, and MSNBC all come to mind -- that would have cost someone a letter grade when I was grading copy editing stu...

I know of an instance when a truck tire come off, managed to crash through a window of a house next to the interstate, and killed a child in the room.

BTW - the house was there before the interstate was built.

Tom got a Genesis coupe back in October (someone t-boned his old Contour). It's red. I've been "permitted" to drive it one time. We just got back from a road trip to TN - four hours one way. Tom drove his car "accordingly" and it didn't get anywhere near that gas milage. "Ac...

define "driven accordingly...."


Just how green is it? Porsche says that, when driven accordingly, the plug-in hybrid 918 Spyder Concept gets an outstanding 78 mpg, with an emissions level of just 70 grams of C02 per kilometer.

I've had a credit card number compromised (probably hackers in the bank computers) and we had our debit card number stolen (probably from a restaurant transaction). On the credit card, the bank caught it and froze it when a questionable transaction came through. I didn't have to pay anything, and th...

one word. Bondo. We have a 1979 Chevy 1/2 ton. Terminal rust. Eight years ago Tom and Nate redid the body, but didn't have access to a welding shop. So they sanded, bondo-ed, sanded some more, then took it down to base metal, painted undercoat, top coat (paint dealers can get the code from the VIN a...

that's why I said I think it goes "light". But it does give you a "starting point".

I play a bass dulcimer tuned D'A'D. 25 3/4 inch VSL. I use 52, 32 and 24 - but go up two on those numbers at times. All are wound (I use Elixirs or other coated strings).

while this was set up for dulcimer, there's no reason it couldn't be used for other stringed instruments. Input your VSL and the note you are tuning to and it will give you the "optimum" size. I think it goes a bit light (but I play a bass dulcimer). You can always go a size or two one way...

I wish there was a CD of that music.

There is. We have it.

Check Amazon.

We call Cincinnati the "tri -state" area because there are so many that work in it, but live in Indiana or Kentucky.

I'm betting just about any place that borders on several states gets called this.

I have a Sony Reader. I've bought very few books from the Sony store - I get most of them for free (Sony has a lot of free or bargain books on their site). Our local library also offers many ebooks (they are good for 3 weeks), and has a recipricating partnership with other librarys in Ohio. Here's a...

It. Or anything Stephen King wrote after "Pet Cemetary". Agree on the Twilight Saga. I've got friends begging me to read this - I keep telling them that a "sexy" vampire is Barnabas Collins. Probably anything Dan Brown writes in the future. Mysterious society. Deranged antagonist...
