    How Extreme Does it Need to Get?

    There are some relatively undeniable facts about what's going on wit6 the weather: 1. The ten warmest years on record have happened since 1998 (nine of them since 2000). 2. Historical evidence observed in ice cores drilled in Antarctica shows that the temperature goes up with the amount of...

    Totally Inappropriate Music for Weddings

    This song may not be that inappropriate, but I how often will a thread get close enough in subject matter to include a little Tom Lehrer? <iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TytGOeiW0aE?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    What are the advantages of being fat

    If you work or live with an FA, they'll bring you special treats. If somebody owes you for doing them a favor, they'll often treat you to a meal. Never being very hungry, i.e., almost never being on a diet. On airlines with open seating (e.g., Southwest), people will often avoid taking the...

    60's and 70's music. Personal stories of favorite groups and concerts.

    When I was going to college in Boulder, Colorado, there was a bar in "The Hill" area of Boulder named "Tulagi." It was known for bringing in new, promising musicians, and the bar itself had an interesting back story. I saw two really amazing performances at Tulagi: One was The Earl Scruggs...

    Question of The Day - August

    I still have my high-end stereo equipment, purchased in 1979: Onkyo separates P-303 (preamp), E-30 (equalizer), U-30 (input/output device switcher), M-505 (power amplifier), a pair of Epicure 3.0 speakers, a Kenwood KD-750 turntable (one of the prettiest turntables ever made), and a Teac X-10R...

    Illegal immigration crisis

    Many people's response to the current wave of illegal immigration along our southern border is simply, "Turn 'em away!" and/or "Send 'em back!" That response is rather like the doctor's response to the old straight line, "Doc, it hurts when I do this." Getting rid of the people trying to get...

    Weird question about showers

    From an Australian government heal web page on hypotension (low blood pressure): "The heart pumps blood around the body through the blood vessels. Blood pressure is the amount of force exerted on the artery walls by the pumping blood. Blood pressure varies according to environmental demands...

    Some things change, others not so much

    I guess I was just a little late to the sportscar party. Mine is a 1991 Supra turbo, and my hybrid is a Ford Fusion. I had great fun with the Fusion when I first got it (late 2009). Unlike the Toyota/Lexus hybrids, the Fusion has a regular ignition switch in it. When the switch was rotated...

    Fun Pictures That Make You Giggle

    Sorry it took me so long to notice this... Omaha! was a long musical commercial created by advertizing maven Stan Freberg in the late 1950s: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUDvhVDOquE It's a satire of Oklahoma! by Rodgers and Hammerstein.

    Too old to "just date"?

    You're not "too old" for anything. It's like that nearly two-thirds of your life is ahead of you, not behind you. I think things Down Under aren't that much different than here in the U.S. Even though you might think your friends are all settled down for the long term, they probably are not...

    What's Next for the Republican Party?

    The Republican Party, for most of the twentieth century, was the party of small government and fiscal responsibility. Basically, in the past, the Republicans would resist the Democrats' efforts to expand government. If they lost that fight, they'd work with the Democrats to figure out how...

    60s music, and why is it so enduring?

    I think this variety was one of the key reasons for (some) of the 60s music's endurance. By the end of the 60s and the beginning of the 70s, radio stations - especially the FM rock stations - played everything: Simon and Garfunkel followed by the Stones followed by the Temptations followed...

    Gay couple sues after photo used in Colorado campaign mailers

    The problem from my viewpoint is the fear mongering and hate speech that has become the norm in campaigning in the U.S. The photo was used to destroy a couple of candidates. If it had been used in a positive way, there would probably be no law suit. I live in Nevada, and, in the race for the...

    “We’re not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact checkers.”

    The Democrats are not immune from lying, either. For example, there's a national ad running on TV right now featuring Bill Clinton talking about properly regulating financial institutions, like happened during his administration. Problem is, most economists that don't have a hidden agenda will...

    Dimensions political affiliations

    I'm fiercely non-partisan. That being said, I am very dismayed at the current philosophy of the Republican party in the U.S. In recent history, the Republicans have been the party of fiscal responsibility, not the party that cuts taxes. To paraphrase Senator Alan Simpson, "I'm all for cutting...

    I REALLYYYYYYYYYYY wish I had COLORADO peeps to hang out with..ARGH

    There are definitely BBWs and FAs in Vega$ (after all, Brie Brown lives here), but there doesn't seem to be an organized community. I think it's because most people that move to Vega$ don't stay very long. There's always the BBW Bash every July... BTW - a belated Happy Birthday to Mel!

    What Junk Food does for Girls (before & after)

    I think that practice was common years ago when the weight loss advertizing was mostly in magazines. The authorities in the U.S. got after most of those advertisers for false claims, but it only slightly changed the way they do things. Now, the unscrupulous advertisers (like the "hydroxy..."...

    The last movie you watched... and score out of ten - Part 2

    Larry Crowne 4/10 "Sweet" romcom - totally predictable. No nudity, little or no profanity (I don't recall any). Should have been shown on Lifetime Movie Network rather than in a theater.
