    I am really liking the ZDH line reunited. They got off to a bit of a slow start, but now they are looking like the line that wowed us in 2008- hopefully with the same end result.

    Bagger mower. Raking hurts the old back. Kiss with tongues or just on the lips?

    Your tv was working earlier, and now it isn't, and a cable guy is there this week already? I guess you got speed over quality. Good luck.

    I haven't made a jack-o-lantern in eons, but when we did, we always cooked the seeds. The person below me really hates all the gross, dead/dying/decaying people that run amok this time of year.

    Cups are better, but that's a win-win. Take out the trash: Daily, weekly, or monthly?

    Kronwall needs time in the press box

    Should have sat him the last time we played Phoenix. That would have taught him.

    No. I do wonder about you, but since you are intelligent I don't worry about the head bouncing. The person below me wonders what Jack's parents are like.

    Ew, toss up. I'd prefer the raisins since the other things are hard to chew. Take out the trash: Daily, weekly, or monthly?

    The same thing I've done with the extra $40 a week since I don't smoke any more. I'd look at my bills and my financial situation and say, "Hey! I'm supposed to have some extra money! Where's my extra money? I don't have any extra money! Why don't I have extra money?" (repeat weekly) Also, I'm old enough to remember cheap gas. We just pay for it. It isn't a matter of extra money. The rise in price of gas is pretty similar to everything else. Think about it: in 1984, I got $3.25/hour. Now I get $11.67 at one job and $8.60 at the other. That's roughly 3x what I used to make. Compare bills: Rent in 1984: $85. Now: $270. About 3x. Lights in 1984: $15. Now: $50. About 3x. (Note: this is only my electricity bill. It does not include heat.) Cigarettes in 1984: $1.75. Now: $5.01. About 3x. Postage stamp in 1984: $.22. Now: $.44 (I think). Only 2x. Hmm, so much for the maligned postal service. As for food, I don't remember much, but around 1980 I was sent up town for a box of cereal and a loaf of bread and I lost one of the two dollars mom gave me, but I went to the day-old bread store for the bread and got them both for a dollar. Gas: About $.75/gallon. Now: About $2.75. Again, about 3x. All of these things totally depend on where you live. I'm willing to bet that big city folks and people from civilized areas pay a lot more for much of this, but I bet they make a lot more too. It's the price you pay for living in a better climate and not in the sticks. In short, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

    Cheerleaders for Canadian NHL team a first

    I laughed at the pic. Slush sluts dancing in front of a "crowd"- none of which were actually watching them, and most of whom were women.

    I always use it. Doesn't it automatically show up when you type? It underlines the words in red on my computer. Perhaps you aren't as bad at typing as I am. The person below me has made home made sausage.

    I buy stuff I like. I never know how many kids I'm going to have. Most of the time I'm not home, but this year I'll be home. Bring on the rug rats. I'll have candy. Hot dogs or brats?

    I actually haven't seen Scooby Doo for a long time, but I remember the "fishing with his tail" episode. As for explaining the pic: Someone takes a camera and points it at a subject (or subjects) and then they hit a button on the camera, and little things inside the camera make a picture that looks just like the subject(s) that were aimed at.

    The only rodent allowed in my home is my beloved Johan. Beyond that, anything that enters unbidden is crushed, smashed, squished, or otherwise killed. The person below me wonders why the spell check in this place accepts Doritos but not Pringles.
