During Tapestry of Nations several years ago, I was standing next to a young man with Down syndrome. Many of the performers went out of their way to come over to him and involve him in the celebration. His face practically glowed. I don't think there was a dry cheek or a frown within a 100...

I will be 59 when I "retire" next year. I have three degrees, but intend to train as either a vet tech or a massage therapist and start a whole new career. I think that once I decide I am too old to do something like that, I will age much more quickly.

Forts are fun, but not nearly the fun of playing wolf under the Christmas tree.

I'll stay out of the fray over what others should do with their money and how they should do it, and just add my thanks to Ms. Bullock. This is the second time she has donated a million dollars to the Red Cross. The first was following 9/11. She shows class and compassion.

Starbucks Barista Aroma drip coffee maker, a Starbucks Barista Quattro for the road and a Starbucks Barista Espresso machine. (yep, I'm hooked)

Starbucks - the specific bean or blend varies with availability- Yergacheffe (sp?) when it is available. Christmas blend right now.

We have both. I don't mind the white lites so much, but my wife loathes them. In fact, the other day she sounded almost word for word like your rant, er, discussion of the issue.

Lisa - when you refer to a "pain in the ****" do you mean that literally? Is the pain in the buttocks, rather than low back/sacrum? If so, it may be an irritated piriformis - that happens to me when I do pick-ups or other drills where I run substantially above my normal pace, especially if I...

Whenever I see Sponge Bob I find myself looking around the room to see if others are actually enjoying the mixture of the obnoxious and the inane. SBSP the Movie is my idea of hell.

You are right, of course. They are much too small.

I am ambivalent about them - On one hand, I feel a bit disappointed if I receive a gift card from a close family member, because it feels a bit as if they don't care enough to put thought into the gift. In addition, even as an old guy, I still get a kick out of unwrapping a present. On the...

I would not ride that fearsome ride Instead I think I'd run and hide Nor would I walk beneath that wheel For fear of wearing someone's meal

You said you wanted to run the LLS marathon, so I think you intend to join Team in Training. I have run several marathons, but none in nearly two decades - I am now training with Team in Training and they do a great job of getting you ready, while avoiding over training and the associated...

I joined the original costco when it first opened and have been going ever since. I am so fond of costco that I make it a point to visit the local one when on vacation - I love the local variations on the theme - especially at the Costcos in Hawaii - we just can't get a big ol' jug of shredded...

Don't worry, it's the holiday season and a lot of people are blue. I am sure your dryer will feel better soon.

We are all making suggestions based on a very brief synopsis of your relationship - I am sure that after 1.5 years there is more to it than you wanting a permanent relationship and him saying "maybe later." But if not, then it is definitely time to move on. Your relationship seems unlikely to...

Men and women start in the same corral, assuming they are in the same pace group.

In the past it has finished in the parking lot and is scheduled to do so this year. If you are with Team in Training, will you receive your packet at home or will you get it through TNT when you travel to WDW? Our TNT group just sent in our registrations in late October - apparently the...

McGrath's Irish Breakfast Murchie's Queen Victoria Rooibos and Honey Bush

I have had good and miserable experiences on almost every line I have flown. My least favorite is US Air. Although I like NW for many flights, some of their routings are bizarre. United seems to have the rudest cabin staff. My favorites are, in no particular order, Alaska, SW, and American...
