  1. Yes you. Enjoy the beer.
  2. X2. I really don't know why anyone still uses AOL. In the early dial-up days they were the thing because of their integrated software, but now they're just a hindrance. There is a way to use Firefox with AOL, they tell you how on the Mozilla website.
  3. About 20 minutes from Sevierville is Deer Park and Petting Zoo. The kids will absolutely love it, and the adults can enjoy it too.
  4. Though Verizon is generally a good carrier, parts of Paulding has little or no service with them. Here at my office (you know where it is) Verizon is almost worthless. Also, Verizon usually operates off the same towers as Nextel because they use the same type system. The two best around here are ATT and T-Mobile. They also share the same system, GSM.
  5. That's fer sure, wifey and I worked in the back yard all day. I weighed 3 lbs less that evening than I did in the morning.
  6. There is an ongoing argument concerning artificial sweeteners and their effects on the body. There seems to be plenty of support for both sides of the issue. The thing about carbonic acid leaching calcium from bones is exaggerated, you'd have to drink several gallons a day to make a significant difference. As with most things, the key is moderation. Sprite Zero is one of the best tasting diet drinks available, I actually like it better than regular Sprite. We would all be well advised to drink more water and limit the "sodas" we drink, but drinking one or two a day isn't going to ki
  7. Yep, I was on their distribution list so I'm getting their e-mails again too. A company called Systemax Technology Group has acquired the name and is making a big push. http://www.circuitcity.com/sectors/opt-outv2.asp They seem to have some good pricing actually.
  8. OK...these 50 year olds need to quit dying, I'm getting a complex here.
  9. Sad that another life is about to come to an end, prayers to his family for strength and peace. I'm not a Cronkite fan however. A good argument can be made that he laid the groundwork for the liberal and militant media that has so mislead this country. We would have never slid so far to the left if the media wasn't instrumental in spreading the propaganda that has brainwashed so many of the American people.
  10. Wifey and I worked out in it all day, in the direct sun too. Musta drank several gallons of water and still weighed 2 lbs less when I came in than I did this morning. But...all the main stuff of our back yard remodel is finally done. Just about time to have a pool party.
  11. Congrats to you both, and wishing you much happiness. It's great to hear a story of true love in this day and time.
  12. Ours came with the house, but I've had to redo parts of it. 16 x 32 in-ground with vinyl liner. The gunnite pools are much more attractive, I'm told the vinyl pools are lower maintenance. I think if money was no option I'd do gunnite.
  13. That is inspirational. Thanks for posting BB.
  14. Wifey took it for awhile, didn't work out well for her. Celexa is in the SSRI family of antidepressants. It is similar to Prozac, but it's influence tends to be more localized which supposedly gives fewer side effects. That was not our experience however. SSRI's have been the most effective at treating depression, but they also have the most side effects. People taking SSRI's tend to gain weight, but there are exceptions. It can also make you sleep more, have a reduced ambition, and it typically kills the sex drive and possibly even makes orgasm difficult or impossible. As mentioned
  15. He probably saw the porn in the reflection of your glasses.
  16. It depends oh what the size and term of the mortgage is. $100 a month is a small dent to a million dollar mortgage, but it will make a huge difference on a $150K mortgage. But a good thing to do regardless. Run the numbers on a mortgage calculator to see how it will work out.
  17. Aww dang. Good guy, he'll be missed.
  18. He wouldn't want to get it wet.
  19. Yep, an excellent general purpose rig. It won't be the smoothest or best casting; but it's cheap, reliable, and easy to use. Perfect for panfish. Graduate to a nice spinning reel (open face) as you get more experienced, you'll get longer casts and smoother operation. Kids get easily bored if they aren't catching fish. Start out fishing for something easy and productive like bluegill. Just find a place in shallow water with brush or blown-down timber, and some worms or crickets should produce fish. Use small bobbers, some that the fish will easily pull under. 8 or 10 lb line is a good all-
  20. As long as you have enough vent in the roof, and enough intakes to feed them, you'll get a natural chimney effect that will draft nicely. Make sure your attic insulation doesn't block your soffit vents. Attic insulation should be R-30 minimum. That if about a foot thick, depending on the type. I recommend R-38, which is about 16" or so. If you have less, it would be a good investment to add more. You can use the foam ducts in the soffits to keep the insulation from blocking the vents. Bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans should be ducted to the outside, not into the attic.
