Oh, I don't bother with that crap anymore. We have been down that road. I think just leaving the broken/need-to-be-fixed stuff out in plain view, with him knowing that he is responsible for fixing it, is a good enough reminder. And when the end of the summer comes, and he goes back to school...

That's because you're a data guy, Ken, and all us data people love out lists...:D :D Are you talking about a list of his misdeeds? Unfortunately, that list would not be a very positive read for him, and although I would simply be stating the truth, I think he may take offense. So we keep...

Well, let me tell you , that in my personal opinion, if they tried to remake Casablanca, or even To Have or Have Not, I would be annoyed. I don't think any of Humphrey Bogart's films should be remade. Some things should be considered sacred, and be left alone. MHO Lisa

Yeah, Ken, I think I have completely given up on the little terms of endearment I always seem to hear around here - like "Cupcake" or whatever those UK sayings are that I don't understand....perhaps I will just use "LABF", and you will all know who I am talking about. Lisa

Yeah, Lisa did get all irritable, and at the time, I even marveled to myself that Selena would have somehow diffused the whole situation, and it completely eludes me how to do that. And by the way, Col, I'm still somewhat annoyed with you.:mad: ;) Lisa

You want to hear about my summer vacation? I used to know what a vacation was, then I had a baby. First of all, as an employee in a US non-profit (ha!) organization, I get 3 weeks paid vacation, a couple of personal days, and I think 12 paid holidays. July 3rd and 4th were 2 of those paid...

OOOOOHHHHH Colin Firth......my sister and I just love him.....and Johnny Depp. I can watch anything with either of them in it. Lisa

I thought The Green Mile was a fantastic movie. Much better than the books. My BF is also hard to please regarding movies - but I told him that there are really no bad movies. Ok, there are a few - "Wolf" with Jack Nicholson & Michelle Pfeiffer, and I can't remember the other one - but there...

Tasslehoff: I used to watch horror flicks in my twenties, just for the thrill. Well, the thrill is gone. I read plenty of Stephen King, I have all his books, and his books can give me nightmares. So I have no need for the horror films anymore. A good suspenseful movie can have me on the...

How interesting, Tasslehoff - aside from the anime, your list is pretty good - lots of movies I have seen and love. Except for "Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves" - a most wooden performance by Kevin Costner, where he starts the movie with a lame English accent, and bags it by the time the first...

You're right, Brian, that is pretty worrying - as I was writing it, I was realizing how screwed up my situation is. But I am working on resolving that issue, for the better for me. Lisa

You know, this has been a very interesting topic for me to read. Ever since I was very young, and my parents attempted to divorce, I resolved to make sure that I could always take care of myself in the event that my significant other was not around. As it turns out, I have never been married...

When I bought my first home (the one I am still living in), it was definitely a learning experience. But I had my dad (who had built homes for a living when he was in college) and a really great real estate agent (who I went to highschool with) to help me. My real estate agent gave me a list...

We may want to separate the thread into views on Life Insuracne versus Health Insurance. I work in health insurance, and in my region, very rarely are services not covered for seriously ill people. The only instance in which this becomes a problem, would be in the case of custodial care, which...

Oh, there are many places that are worse. Michigan is ridiculous - the speed limit is 70 mph, and so everyone drives 80, and does the asphalt slalom (you know, weaving in and out of lanes). And California? YIKES!!! I drove from Las Vegas to San Diego on a Sunday night (when all the...

My pet peeves: People who consistently complain about the same thing, over and over, and do nothing different to change the situation or prevent it. Most all other drivers who are on the road at the same time as me who are in my way, because invariably they are doing something stupid that...

Yes, they did. And when they were leading in the 2nd period, I thought, "What if they win? How are they going to beat Edmonton?" So I think it was a blessing. They went as far as they could go, and that's right - WAIT TIL NEXT YEAR!!!!!! Lisa

I just marvel at the stories of middle-aged women falling for teenagers. It's one thing to go for a buff 21 year old guy when you're in your thirties, but a 15 year old? Did he have his braces off yet? :p Ok, and I know that we can hijack the thread with the discussion over which is worse -...

Isn't this your home town, Ken? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13078980/

Game 7 tonight!! Here's hoping my Sabres prevail!! Lisa
