Uh, Coug. Thinking about it, this may not be your cup of tea.

My son-in-law started watching "6 Feet Under" only because of the actor who plays "Dexter". I had a look at the pilot and was hooked. The people are so real, one could relate to everyone in turn. The finale (season 5) was very enjoyable. After 5 years of hurt, it was an episode of grace, of...

Now if this were a Facebook Post, it would probably get a million "likes" the first being mine. ;-)

thank you handruin though late, I'd like to say, storageforum is a place worthwhile coming to.

Wow! I'd really like to know the next chapter.

We have similar cultures, mubs. AFAIK, our cultures both have instances of families/clans extending to four generations all living in a single house/compound of houses.

Thanks. But in essence, I've been free in that sense for the last 3 years. But, come to think of it, with respect to my beloved grandson, it may seem to have started all over again. :-)

Thanks, Merc. It's a nice feeling when, contrary to tradition, we parents get to marry off our children without much expenditure. The kids spent for most of the wedding. Maybe I'll get a few snaps up on Flickr or Multiply later. It was a really happy time.

The hardware store I visited here had 55W equivalent LED bulbs for less than $25. Still stiff. but makes me think about buying one or two. I am using CFLs but they burn out in a year. Do these things stand up well to being turned on and off every now and then? I know the CFLs don't like being...

My youngest (a son) got married last Saturday. Some of the pictures are already on Facebook. But I already know how many of you guys will want to look at them so I won't post a link. Just sayin'. ;-)

I join in greeting SF a happy 10th anniversary. Though I think I joined a few years after the inauguration (quite by accident)

For those with a facebook account, you may want to look at my activities Dec 23,24 at the community I work in. Sorry I'm not in the photos, i was taking the pictures. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.343420192339591.100927.100000148403328&type=1

David, I am intrigued. This definitely is a sad tale. More context please.

Yes, Thanks Mercutio for the great posts. Happy 15,008!

Hello, guys. Thanks for the early morning chuckles. I have been enjoying the Kindle and the "No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency" series. The books are about people in Botswana. Fiction. The TV series died after a pilot and 6 episodes

I agree. ;-)

Haha! I only skip the last step if I forget. Sometimes, skipping the last step means the machine is going to come back and bite me in the ass.

Because AMD comes out with cheaper processors, it will have a customer as long as I am alive.

I am ok (for those wondering) the typhoon knocked out the internet. that's all. But lots of my countrymen are having a hard time. Many farmers' rice was ready for harvest so that was a big thing.

I liked "Source Code". Maybe the premise is too farfetched or thoroughly implausible, but I the happy ending did it for me.

Happy Birthday, David. Be Blessed!

Thank you, all, for your appreciation.

Thank you, David. Needed the affirmation. :-)) Any constructive criticism?

Good day. Hope to impose upon you some photos from an excursion in April this year. Please comment. They are uncropped except for the photographer photo which I had to straighten. Some feeble editing done but no skills whatsoever for making the skin tones ok across the photos. Thanks in...

good evening am using my kindle on the internet for the first time. I find it nifty. first post anywhere, too.

thanks, jtr. that's something I did not know.

What happened to your roof, Dave?

Biking is a fun way to get in shape - and travel and appreciate the environment. It is also a social activity. Just don't go too fast. Actually, I bike at 12-15mph only and can go for 25-30 miles without getting tired.

Uh, David, I remember that picture of you with the sailboat. You didn't look like somebody who would be winded for an hour after a mile @ speed. You can still get back to "in shape" but slow is the way to go. To much speed too quickly will likely do more damage than good.

pictures!

hmmm, lost my post here yesterday for some reason. I was saying SEABISCUIT was a really good movie.

The guy who did the predicting did not know how to understand what he was reading. AFAIK it said, no one knows when it will happen except... No need to change the book. Let's just wait until he runs out of years. He's 89 already.

We all need more exercise. After the attempt to climb Mr. Kinabalu last February, I became pretty sedentary. Glad that we are still around. Just turned 57 a week ago.

That's a wonderful trick, David. Will practice doing it. I use Chrome nowadays. I still have to get used to the download interface on it (having to look to the bottom of the page). Many times I download something and forget to look at the bottom of the Chrome window. Sometimes I download it...

Do I have the money to buy one more Samsung 1Tb drive with 32mb cache? Beg, steal or borrow is probably my next move/s. The Hitachi 1Tb the vendors are selling are only 16mb cache models. Funny thing is, they seems to be sooo heavy.

Canon DSLR thread. I realize I have to look up the abbreviations to find out what you mean. ;-) Very glad to see Tony again.

Thank you, Bozo. There was no reported damage in the Philippines. And I reside very far inland. The true main concern is Japan.

Hey, depending on the teenagers, maybe one doesn't need to pull hair out. It's like chemotherapy, hair just falls. My wife's acid reflux was the result of teaching in pre-school. Go figure. Coug, I sincerely hope you pull through.

Wow! I hope business comes their way fast enough so you can get the bed you wanted.

those are real floods. we've not heard from Tony for a bit. hope he is well.

Anticipating the weather. Some photos/comments. But seems like the weather has already arrived. http://theonlinephotographer.typepad.com/the_online_photographer/2011/02/we-get-weather.html#comments

I read on Yahoo News that a big storm is brewing.

Well, I haven't bought one yet. April is the time. Still have some expenses to overcome these next few months. :-)

That sounds logical. I mean, he doesn't have to pack 10 books for a 10-day trip, does he? Hooray Kindle!

I think they want people to junk their perfectly good portable computers once the batteries go bad. BTW, some shops provide a service here where they "repack" old batteries with new cells. Better cells cost more. I asked around, the "good" repack costs like $110. New "original" batteries will...

Sounds like advice my 2nd daughter would give. She says if you have to eat sidewalk food, do so only if it is freshly cooked, and well-cooked. Cold food from un-vetted sources is playing with Typhus and Hepatitis-B

It is raining here at a time when we usually only get cold winds. In parts of our country there also have been mud slides and devastation. Of course, it's because the politicians own a lot of logging concessions.

I am thinking of buying myself a Kindle on my birthday. Been thinking about it for months. Does e-book encompass PDFs?

Thanks for both good news

I was wondering about the same things.
