  1. I have used one for several years. I hate the hose and all the straps, but it works for me. In the winter I use the humidifier feature, which is also helpful. I take it on trips. I once decided to leave it home for a one night business trip, and I didn’t sleep at all. I think I’m so used to it, I can’t sleep without it.
  2. no gal made has got a shade on sweet georgia brown, two left feet, oh, so neat, has sweet georgia brown! they all sigh, and want to die, for sweet georgia brown! i'll tell you just why, you know i don't lie, not much: it's been said she knocks 'em dead, when she lands in town!
  3. Trading my time for the pay I get Living on money that I ain't made yet Gotta keep goin' gotta make my way But I live for the end of the day 'cause it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows No-one owns a piece of my time And there's a long-haired girl who waits, I know To ease my troubled mind, yeah!
  4. Saw peter Gabriel in concert. Did Solsbury Hill to end the show. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Phil Collins stuff always seems a little stiff and bland to me. Peter Gabriel is a little more loose and varied, so I think I would say I prefer Gabriel.
  5. I have a ridiculously expensive furniture store mattress. Stearns & Foster pillow top. I didn’t pick it out. It’s a good mattress, but I doubt it’s worth the $$$.
  6. I’ve always wondered how WV can be such a distressed state, yet WVU is considered to be a very good school. Are you considered an empty nester if they will be coming home during school breaks? I was very emotional when my daughter went off to college more than three hours away. I was not so emotional when my son went to college about 15 minutes away. My daughter hardly ever came back after that first year, but it took a few years before my son was officially moved out.
  7. note the disclaimer under the name on the web site also, look at the other “news” stories on that page.
  8. It's quarter to three There's no-one in the place 'Cept You and me. So set 'em up Joe, I've got a little story I think you should know We're drinking my friend, To the end of a brief episode Make it one for my baby, and one more For the road
  9. I got a gal, named Sue, she knows just what to do I got a gal, named Sue, she knows just what to do She rock to the East, she rock to the West She is the gal that I love best Tutti frutti, oh rootie Tutti frutti, oh rootie, ooh Tutti frutti, oh rootie Tutti frutti, oh rootie Tutti frutti, oh rootie Whop bop a loo bop a lop boom boom! I got a gal, named Daisy, she almost drives me crazy Got a gal, named Daisy, she almost drives me crazy She knows how to love me, yes indeed Boy you don't know what she do to me
  10. Just one last kiss Before I walk out the door I'm gonna hold you tighter Than I ever did before And I, I never promised you The things you promised me And I, I can't justify The way it's gotta be And the good times are the best times The bad times fade away The good times are forever But now, baby, the last time is today
  11. If you have a gmail account, you can easily upload to YouTube. I do it with family videos every once in a while.
  12. Zima and most wine coolers have about the same alcohol content as beer. This stuff is about 3 times more potent. That’s the problem.
  13. I’m always surprised at how slow and tedious writing by hand is compared to typing. If I have to write more than a few sentences by hand, sooner or later I will find myself halfway through a sentence and I’ll realize that I just painted myself into a corner grammatically. I have produced some weird sentences in order to avoid going back and rewriting.
  14. Looks like a mid size https://www.homedepot.com/p/Vision-Grills-HD-Series-Charcoal-Kamado-Grill-in-Red-B-R2C2AX-S/306899776
  15. A lot of people avoid using lighter fluid. They say it gives the food a chemical taste. The TV cooking shows almost always use a chimney contraption to light the charcoal with some crumpled paper. I’ve used a chimney for lighting charcoal, and it works but it takes longer than lighter fluid.
  16. Tough choice. Elton John was earlier and more influential in the evolution of popular music, but if I had to go on a road trip and pick one or the other, it would be Billy Joel.
  17. I was at a concert recently, and I looked around and saw that the audience was glowing. Every cell phone that was pointed toward the performers was casting a light backwards from the little view screen. The people in front of us were doing it, and I found it annoying and distracting.
  18. I always thought this site was some sort of a psychological experiment. Someday a paper in a medical journal will cover a 20 year study of the differences and similarities of all of the participants, and try to explain how this place is a microcosm of society in general. Maybe that also explains the real purpose of PPP.
  19. I have a couple of old fashioned toilets that still have enough power to take care of things with only one flush almost every time. Unfortunately we are planning bathroom renovations this fall and that may no longer be the case.
  20. Ride, captain ride upon your mystery ship Be amazed at the friends you have here on your trip Ride captain ride upon your mystery ship On your way to a world that others might have missed Seventy-three men sailed up from the San Francisco Bay Rolled off of their ship, and here's what they had to say "We're callin' everyone to ride along to another shore We can laugh our lives away and be free once more"
  21. Our Roku died so we replaced it with an Apple TV. My wife is a hard core Apple person. The Apple TV has been good. I don’t like the mini mousepad aspect of the controller but other people seem to like it just fine. The Apple TV can interface with an iPhone or iPad which makes searching for shows a little easier. But you probably already know all this.
  22. I’ve always wondered how the center is supposed to know what blocking scheme to all when his view of the defense is limited because he is bent over or squatting.
  23. A bear bites a sleeping boy on the face at a campground in Utah
