    Recommend me a good blender

    Well, personally, I think the KitchenAid and the Vitamix are similar in design, though the Vitamix has more power. My parents have a Vitamix, and I have used it frequently, but it seems that the extra power does not really do anything. Also, I like the blade design of the KitchenAid better...

    Recommend me a good blender

    I have tried a few different blenders, and the ones I like most are the KitchenAid Proline for $229 at William Sonoma, and the Vitamix for ~$400. Even though I like the Vitamix, I do not think it is worth the extra cost. I have tried a Waring blender in the same price range as the KitchenAid...

    POLL: Which car: 98-2000 CLK coupe or 02 C240 sedan?

    Neither one would be my car of choice. However, the C240 has absolutely no power...so if I had to choose it would be the CLK.

    rain = sick ?

    Being out in the cold may slightly depress your immune system, but you still had to have encountered specific virus or bacteria to make you sick.

    Yeah... Even after 2 different antibiotics, I still cough.

    Viral infection...though there is not much you can do about it until your immune system kills it.

    I don't understand how health insurance works

    It is probably ok. The remainder that you paid probably just went to your deductible.

    Sleeping Pills.

    For OTC, get some diphenhydramine (Benadryl, Tylenol Simply Sleep, or generic equivalent).

    What are you trying to accomplish with the diet? Weight loss?

    YACT: Acura TSX vs. Mazda 3S vs. Subaru Legacy 2.5GT

    I would probably buy the TSX. I cannot stand the cheapy feel of the Mazda, and the Acuras seem to be much better built than the Subarus.
