    Your view on Contact Lenses

    Contacts are awesome! I switched to contacts about 3 years ago and I'll never go back to glasses (I use Focus Dailies, in case anyone wants to know). I'm fortunate tho that my eyes don't get dry and irritated unless I've been wearing contacts for about 12+ hours. My next trip to the eye doctor...

    If you signed up at a personal site, would you want you pic plastered all over the web?

    I dunno, I don't think I'd mind. You went to the personals site to meet people after all. This is just some good exposure. Btw, the current Personal of the Day I'm looking at now on The Onion, "Brooklinegirl", is quite cute.

    YACT: Has anyone tried mass emailing dealers to get price quotes?

    I did the exact same thing for my sister a few weeks ago. I was emailing & calling a bunch of Nissan dealers. If you're looking for a new minivan, the best thing is to send them an email through the dealership's website. That's good for initial contact so they can check if they have the vehicle...

    The Worse Movies...EVER!

    I hear that! My roommate has the DVD. I tried twice to watch it, but it's just so dull I couldn't stand to get through it.

    Why is America still using unautomated banking to such a great degree?

    Ok I read through this whole thread cuz I was sure someone would say it, but I didn't see it anywhere. Maybe my bank is special but when I make a deposit at the ATM I get a receipt back from the machine that says how much I deposited. If $50 is missing from my deposit, I can bring that receipt...

    Do lock your doors?

    When I'm home I just use the little lock on the doorknob. When I go to sleep, it's that and the deadbolt.

    Teach English as a second language in Japan?

    I'm wondering about the money. They pay about 30k a year and Japan is supposed to be one of the most expensive places to live. Do you have to live like a pauper over there?

    The End of the (OLD) VW Beetle???

    I think they sell the old ones dirt cheap in south america. Killing the old one rather than the new beetle makes more sense. Ah, my universe has been put right.

    The End of the (OLD) VW Beetle???

    I'm surprised. I thought the new beetle had decent sales.

    YALT: Gotta wash my clothes......

    You could go to a laundromat that washes your clothes for you. Drop it off, and pick it up fresh & clean. It's the only way to do laundry!

    take THAT, Alexander Graham Bell!

    Wow, but I doubt they will be rewriting any history books. At least not in the US, probably so in Italy.

    click it or ticket - anyone own an old car with no seat belts?

    You're banned from driving drunk (or without your glasses/contacts too) because by doing so you're creating a public nuisance. The same reason you can't wander the streets drunk. You may or may not cause harm to someone else. You could luck out and not, but the potential is there. Not wearing...

    click it or ticket - anyone own an old car with no seat belts?

    The one good reason that you've been waiting for is that it's more comfortable to drive/ride without your seatbelt. Happy to help.
