I thought I just read where it was an advertising plan gone wrong for the Cartoon Network and Turner Broadcasting....I would say it indeed was a bad idea! :roll: I would disagree. Look at how much publicity has been generated across the country simply by a traffic jam in one city. To an economic/ma...

Has anyone but me noticed....

Other than BB, no parent ever has trouble with their child flying. Only the rest of us passengers who don't have children seem to have issues with the little noisemakers. I guess love for your own child truly does have no bounds. :roll: :lol:

From a business traveler who often gets stuck next to that toddler, please at least listen to my suggestion. Take a short flight somewhere... anywhere. Most cities have a region jet that goes to an airport that is only a few hours drive. Typically these puddle jumpers will be as low as $50. If the t...

Its that thing that comes on when you go to take a bathroom break or get more food. No, not the one with the singing and a hundred clueless people dancing. That is something totally different.

Actually, I can kind of see their reasoning. Because of the stubbornness between the US government and Castro, many of the people in South Florida have been unable to "legally" visit with their own family. Generations have been lost because of Castro and the way he treated Cubans. I say en...

Re: General Cardiovascular / Exercise question...

...You need to burn at least 200 calories on cardio machines to start burning off weight!!!... Of course that depends on your caloric intake. You'll find stairs can burn off more calories in the same amount of time. Take the stairs when you are out somewhere. Also, as most people have hinted at; it...

My mom and sister each lost 40-50 pounds. It worked great for them, but like PG I don't have the will power or desire to count every little point.

If everything goes right, I'll be picking up a used car in a few days. I want to get a warranty because it is one o...
