    The New England Patriots!!!

    Boy, was I surprised with this result. I thought the Jets had as much chance of beating the Patriots as the Seahawks did of beating the Bears. In the first half of Brady's career, he was the QB who got it done when it mattered. Of course he's still pretty good. But something is different. Now...

    Anyone else experience losing taste after surgery?

    I lost my sense of taste after I finished my last round of chemotherapy. That's not exactly true. I could still taste sour and bitter, but I couldn't taste sweet and salty. I lost a desire for food. It took about 10 weeks for my taste to come back and the moment it did it brought my appetite...

    Any limits to freedom of speech?

    The right to say anything does not give you the right to say anything anywhere. For instance, speech is restricted in my home - it is expressly forbidden to hold up a picture of Hitler and compare him with anyone. The question really is whether it is OK for someone to speak their mind in...

    What would your ideal road trip be?

    Two ideas: Once you decide on the area you would like to explore, make a conscious effort to stay off of major highways. Whenever possible, take the secondary route. My favorite road trips are the ones where I feel like I'm discovering something. Once you have the actual route sketched...

    Kind of bummed!

    I guess I'm in the minority here, but I suggest you stay as far away from this situation as possible. When you have co-workers in the middle of hostilities, you always run the risk of unintended consequences when you get involved - even if that involvement is 100% justified. The kind of...

    Tucson Memorial Service

    From the President's speech yesterday: Christina was given to us on September 11th, 2001, one of 50 babies born that day to be pictured in a book called "Faces of Hope." On either side of her photo in that book were simple wishes for a child's life. "I hope you help those in need," read one...

    Tucson Memorial Service

    The University of Arizona crowd was cheering the heroism that was on display last Saturday. They were also cheering for America itself. If this was a pep rally, it wasn't a political pep rally. It was a pep rally for America. Well done everyone involved.

    How on earth do you get a better deal off-site? What am I missing?

    It could be that no couple other than my wife and I feel this way, but I highly doubt it. One of the very best things about traveling (and I don't just mean to Disney) are night-time activities. And by "night-time activities", I mean the kind of activities that two consenting adults enjoy in...

    Need Links To Sites Where We Can Book Offsite Villas

    I've looked through VBRO, but I'd rather not book directly with an owner. I'd just as soon book with a reliable company who handles the bookings for a collection of owners. In any case, if you have the name and/or link of agencies who handle these types of bookings, I'd very much appreciate...

    Clueless And In Need Of A Clue

The problem is where: Port Orleans Resort - Riverside VS Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter VS Caribbean Beach Resort We are bringing our twin nieces - both 11 years...

    My son is going to be the death of me

    I remember pulling this stunt myself one time - but in reverse. We were visiting some people and and I made up my mind I didn't want to go home. So I found the keys and hid them in the freezer. Everyone suspected it was me, but I kept my mouth shut and carried on like the night would never end...

    Movies you really never need to see, inspired by - only once

    Happy Days - the Movie It was pure dreck. I strongly suspect the director never saw any episodes of the original series. I never did figure out what was going on between Potsie and Joanie? And was it really necessary to see them without their clothes on? I would have left before the end, but...

    Do you think suicide is a selfish act?

    The intent may not stem from selfishness. And clearly most who consider suicide are at a point where they are virtually unable to consider the impact their death will have on the people around them. But lack of intent does not mean the impact is any less selfish. For those of us who have...

    Can I take my 4 year old to Star Trek?

    There seems to me, 3 main areas of concern when evaluating the suitability of movies for children. 1. Violence 2. Sex 3. Language If you were to look at the impact on children, which one of these three areas do you consider most important. Put another way: Imagine 3 movies. One has...

    Cheating Revealed in American Idol Final Vote

    Bicker is correct, there is no evidence American Idol was rigged by anyone at anytime. If my original post left that impression with anyone, then please allow me to use this opportunity to take back my comments. My careless use of satire is the kind of irresponsible behavior that got politics...

    Cheating Revealed in American Idol Final Vote

    ***UPDATE*** In a prepared statement signed by Kris Allen and the Kris Allen entourage, it was made clear that Kris Allen joins Adam Lambert in a demand to not sing "No Boundaries". Here is an excerpt from the statement: "... as such, Mr. Allen would rather be declared American Idol runner up...

    Cheating Revealed in American Idol Final Vote

    If you read something and it's on the internet, it is almost certainly true. Otherwise, why would it be on the internet? I find it extremely unlikely that people would take the time to post untruths on the internet.

    Cheating Revealed in American Idol Final Vote

    Apparently the producers of Idol are scheduling a press conference for tomorrow. There were some irregularities in the final vote count that may have affected the final result. Worse yet, it seems as if these irregularities were the direct result of illegal "vote tampering" carried out by one of...

    Making stuffing in a Crockpot

    Crockpot stuffing is all about the stock - chicken stock I assume. Since you can watch your stuffing in the crock-pot, just be ready to add stock as needed.
