    Twin Peaks - what a beautifully crafted show

    I didn't watch the show when it first aired but found it on Netflix and decided to give it a try. I'm finding it hard to get into the characters and storyline. How many episodes do I need to watch before it draws me in and gets me hooked?

    You guys know anything 'bout vacuums?

    My wife wanted a Dyson so I got it and thought it was an over-hyped vacuum. We did a house remodel and i used the Dyson instead of a shop vac. I was amazed at how much abuse it took so I was sold on it.

    zombie nativity scene ordered to be removed!

    I think the "art" he put into is exceptional, and yes, Zombies are trending, but he had to know at some level it would appear to be inflammatory to some Christians. It's not to my taste, actually I thinks its tasteless, BUT, I would defend his right 100% to have his form of self expression.

    Need a New Cast Iron pan

    I own several hundred pounds of cast iron cookware, some dating back to the 1940's. I love my cast and have had to rehab a few pieces in the past due to poor care and maintenance. At one point, I was in tears because one pan had about forty years worth of seasoning and it got wet while in...

    Anybody watch Bait Car on TruTV?

    I got really pissed off by one of the episodes. They parked the bait car and blocked this lady's driveway so she couldn't get her own car out. She called the police and nobody came to move it, when she couldn't find the driver, she decided to move the car a few feet forward so she could be on...

    Dyson DC41

    Dyson has its followers(fanboys) and those that will say nothing but negative about them but I can say from personal experience: "this vacuum is great!". I personally can walk over dirt and not even see it, that drives my wife crazy because she is crazy clean. At first, I cringed at spending a...

    WTF, my parents are awesome!

    My mom is pretty good too, she is in her 80's, attached to an O2 tank full time and can only get around with the help of her walker, but her mind is still pretty sharp even after having a few small strokes(TIA). A few years back, I put together a computer for her and she caught on how to use it...

    Who "owns" the airspace over a house?

    The drones are radio controlled, since you are most likely closer to the drone than the remote operator, take it out with a burst of broadband RF. The antenna can be disguised as a Dish Network antenna, once it crashes in your yard its fair game!

    YES! US supreme court makes a correct rulling!

    Speaking as a parent, you detain her if you have reason for a search and contact the parents BEFORE a search is conducted. If it was me, I would push to have the school administrator that did the search have to register as a sex offender.

    Anyone ship stuff about 1000 miles?

    Don't know about big items like the motorcycle, but when I moved my wife from California to Pennsylvania, we used UPS. Nothing was broken or lost because I packed it all myself and ended up costing a few hundred dollars as compared to the thousands which is what we were quoted by several moving...

    Just heard the news that Obama wants to postpone DTV transition

    I agree that there has been plenty of time to notify people, but I haven't seen the media blitz that everyone is talking about. I live in the suburbs north of Philadelphia, have Comcast cable and rarely see commercials for the switch. I'll also agree that locally, what information that has been...

    One of the reasons I love Newegg.

    The egg is still one of my favorite e-tailers, but you need to shop around just like any other purchase. If given the choice of a rebate or pay a little more at newegg, its newegg everytime. Shipping is also one of those things you always need to consider, free is great but watch out for the...

    why is it illegal to put your own pet down?

    Thanks! Its important to know your vet well before having an animal euthanized, they don't always use a humane method. In the case of small animals, they will inject poison into the heart, the smaller the animal the harder it is to find. My vet uses a gradual overdose of Halothane which is...

    why is it illegal to put your own pet down?

    It is a hard decision to have to put down a pet but when they are suffering, it becomes necessary. I have pet rats and their lifespan is about 2 years. When they start getting too old they get sick very quickly and it is evident that they are suffering and the vet is not always available. We...

    Ratatouile: the least marketable character

    Rats are cool, I've kept them as pets for a few years now. Kids love them, my neices and nephews get the biggest kick out of them and can't wait to come over and play with them. They are highly intelligent and adaptable, those are some of the reasons they are chosen for behavior studies. They...

    Have you ever walked through the drive-through?

    We were moving some furniture for a friend and we put a recliner on the flatbed trailer. Pulled up to place the order at McD and they were dumbfounded because all they saw on their monitor was a vehicle pull past the order station. Their expression was priceless when I pulle dup to the window...

    ATI/AMD RMA.

    RMA process through ATI was pretty painless for me, I had a cooling problem with my 8500dv, its a known problem. If I wanted it right away, I had to pay them the value of a new one while the return was in-transit, otherwise I would have to send it and wait for it to be evauluated and then...

    What is your favorite computer case?

    I prefer to use 4U rack mount cases, but my alltime favorite is THIS ONE. Every year when I upgrade I usually have to get the cutter out or make some unique part to accomodate the new toys. I run Scsi so I've added extra bays and took out the disk holder in front and turned it into an air...

    So my girlfriend is going to see her ex tonight.... *UPDATE 3*

    The issue isn't about the ex, its about your relationship with HER. Yes, she still has feelings for him and hasn't moved on. Then again, have you given her any reason to move on with you? You can't TELL her not to go, but you can ask her not to go. If you are sensitive to her feelings you will...
