    How often do you have nightmares?

    Nightmares? What are those? Are they similar to dreams? Don't have those either. Actually, I'm pretty serious. I can't remember a single dream in .... years? Seriously :( No good dreams, bad dreams, wet dreams, nothing. I guess my life sucks even when I am asleep.

    I got a new kitty. Do I really need to spend money on shots?

    For cats and dogs, I would say yes. Especially if the animal is ever going to go outside. For other animals, I think it is a rip-off. I had a ferret, for example, that got his shots when I first bought him. They recommend getting new shots every year. He lived to be the ripe old age of 8...

    Contact lenses - arg!!! so difficult to put them in!

    I gave up. I started wearing contacts back in high school, then developed a nasty eye infection from them (extended wear) one Valentines holiday and couldn't even open my eye if the lights were on. The doctor said I had a really bad infection and if I had waited another day to come in I could...

    Mom buying daughter thong?

    I keep trying to get my wife to wear thongs. She is a size 16 and says she is too fat. I still think she would look great :heart:

    Employee tardiness problem........

    I'm on the side of "10 minutes...big deal" I work for a healthcare company. When I originally got hired my hours were 8:00 to 4:30. I'm not a morning person and always had problems getting there on time. Not only that, but I never got to leave at 4:30. So I talked to my boss and she...

    Netflix versus Blockbuster

    Hmm, never had that problem. They always send me what is at the top of my queue. I guess I'm not a big foreign/independent film watcher. I've never had a problem with Blockbuster not carrying a title that I want to watch. I never thought I would make use of the "instore rental" options...

    Netflix versus Blockbuster

    Just curious here. For those that use Netflix, why? I've been a customer of Blockbuster's for several years now and have never had any major issues other than an occasional unreadable/scratched/cracked DVD. With their recent addition of being able to return the movies to a local store to...

    Illegal Immigration Issue: Securing our borders

    Obviously, we aren't in the 19th or early 20th century anymore. Times change. In the 1800's you didn't have easy access to the Internet, language classes on CDs, DVDs, or in easy to acquire books. Well, the US history and English would be part of the citizenship process (similar to what it...

    Illegal Immigration Issue: Securing our borders

    I'm not about to read all the previous posts since most of them are going to be the typical "you don't know crap, so go away". Instead, I will give my opinion as somone who lives in Houston. Personally, I think that we should tighten up our borders to stop the flow of illegal immigrants into...

    Question for Raptor owners

    I had a 36GB Raptor and while the boot times were faster (by about 5 seconds) on my Athlon 3200+, I couldn't justify keeping it. I ended up selling it recently and just installing a Seagate 160GB SATA drive on the system. It's no like the system gets shut down very often (I run my systems 24/7...

    Beach Camera reputable?

    I bought a Canon S2 IS camera from them last summer and was happy with the experience (and still very happy with the camera).

    installing ram on laptops

    My experience has only been with Dell and Sony laptops, but it has been very easy. Usually there is a cover on the bottom of the laptops that you have to remove a screw or two from to get access to the memory slots. Of course, this was on older P3 machines, but I would assume the newer laptops...

    Kids playing in the street

    And what part of my later post did you not understand that there is a park for that sort of thing? Heck, if the kids can roam around the neighborhood unattended, then they can go to the park and play catch/football/etc. Our neighborhood is a whopping 5 blocks by 4 blocks out in the middle of...

    Kids playing in the street

    "Do you live in the ghetto? If so, suck it up. Drugs and gang violence is a part of ghetto life." Doesn't sound right does it? Just because something goes on in an environment doesn't mean that it is right and should be tolerated.

    Kids playing in the street

    No, I never played stickball in the street. We also didn't play tag/baseball/etc. in the street either. I grew up in the country and had plenty of area to run around on our creek, in the pastures, etc. We rode our bikes in the road, but were taught to pull over, stop, and let the cars pass...
