USS New York sails past Ground Zero . . .

The USS New York gave a 21 gun salute just off the site of Ground Zero today in New York harbor. Yet to be officially commissioned, she incorporates into her bow over seven tons of steel recovered from the World Trade Center towers. I wish I could have been there to see it. http://www.timesonline.co...

I've had hair like that most of my life - first thing in the morning when I roll out of bed. I never knew it was a 'style'.

Re: My apologies.

No problem. I never thought it was a devil. I always thought it was one of those 'aliens' from one of the many Star Trek spin-offs where the overpaid and under-worked costume department slaps a prosthetic on someone's head and calls it a day. (I don't know if that was a mini-rant or an attempted hij...

Re: Last Will and Testament...

Yes. We had wills written up back when we first had kids and have updated them since. It's kind of crazy to not have a will when you have a spouse or kids in your life. But even without these things, do you really want the government deciding what to do with your stuff when you're gone? Thanks for ...

I think lots of people are enjoying the publicity spotlight in this story.

Re: do you say things to strangers??

Do I say things to strangers who are apparently being rude to their own children? No. And if I took the trouble of saying things to rude strangers I'd be standing around lecturing people on their lack of manners all day long. For my troubles, I'd probably just get more rudeness or assaulted or maybe...

Re: Gun-toting soccer mom is shot dead in Lebanon, PA

It turns out this poor woman was shot by her husband. Her own handgun was out of reach, left in her backpack hanging on a door. This brings up a number of discussion points. If she had made a habit of wearing her sidearm around the house, where the real threat was, she might be alive today. It is po...

Re: Is this the end of TV?

When I was growing up, my Dad called it the Idiot Box. True dat. If it weren't for History, Discovery, news channels (only for big breaking news; the rest I get on the 'net) and a couple of shows per week, I could do without it. I probably watch 2-3 hours a week and wish I had Tivo to skip even tho...
