Well don't buy that brand again. Here's one opinion of a new TV for you. I bought an "Element" brand tv from Target over 12 years ago. It was a sale one that I had never heard of but it turned out to be an excellent brand. After 12 years it still works perfectly. The key factor here is how many hours has it run and this tv has logged way more hours than the average tv. Only time I ever turn it off is when I go to work. When I'm not working, it stays on 24/7. I don't watch it that darn much but I just leave it on. The tv is just my little bedroom buddy. heheh Point here is that hour wise this is definitely the "Energizer" TV. It keeps on going and going. If this one ever stops working, I'll buy another Element. They have proven their quality to me and I highly recommend the brand. |

Most screens are made in the same factory and most other electronics from another one or two and they get assembled with a different brand sticker. Buying today, I'd get an OLED and any other features that may be important to me. I also use a sound bar. The thinner the TV, the harder it is to get decent sound. Sound bar fixes that, in my case, I often listen to music from YouTube so it sounds as good as it looks. I have Samsung and LG TV's. Happy with both. Oh, no matter what size you want, get the next one bigger and you won't be sorry. I could not fit larger than 55" in my last house. Here, wish it was a 65". I also wall mounted it too. Safer that way. |

My guess is that in a few years, OLED TV will take over the market. We are now in a transition period. You can probably get a pretty good dirt cheap LCD TV now but I expect that you'd want to get an OLED model in a few years when they become dirt cheap. You're probably going to get blown away with either types of TVs. |

I've seen numbers from 30,000 hours to 100,000 hours life expectancy. Reality is, no matter the brand, size, conditions of use, there will be some that breakdown much faster, others that will go much longer. That is true of TVs, automobiles, cameras, bulldozers, computers, and every other man made item on earth. |

They were too 'different' from what she'd been eating for the past 7 years. We packed her up stuff she liked. Charlotte was pretty popular to sit with at lunch because you never knew what would be in her bento box and she'd share tastes about. Her thermos was filled with dashi miso soup with little bits of green onion or chives for example. Go-gurt was popular then so I'd get it at times and add one. |

| lenona321@yahoo.com: Mar 02 08:42AM -0800 I admit, I haven't used my cast-iron waffle iron in years, since I don't want to buy anything that comes in a spray can - and how easy can it be to grease it properly without that kind of spray?

(I had churros in Spain. Now if only, in the U.S., they'd provide something better than Hershey's Syrup to dip them in!) Lenona. |

Nominally 1.89-2.29 store depending for whole celery. I get my green onions at 2 bunches for 1$ at the Asian American Market. Price stays stable but size of bunches are smaller in winter. |

Yeah, would all be hot house or shipped from lower USA. Cost to heat or ship will do that. My guess is it's a lot cheaper in summer for you! |
| songbird <songbird@anthive.com>: Mar 02 11:29AM -0500 > kind of pricey for what you get. celery hearts are $3.99. a tad pricey, but i purchased some anyway. now i wish that i would have bought the green onions because i love them in a salad. cooking onions will have to do. if you get a chance grow some green garlic (plant garlic cloves in the fall extra deep then you can dig it anytime in the spring/early summer and use it just like a green onion or bunching onion stalk). the more you cook it the more it tastes like a green onion. if you use it fresher it has more of the garlic taste. once you start growing your own garlic you can also have a surplus of small garlic cloves that can be planted in pots and then trimmed back and eaten through the winter. songbird |

Very often leaving >> home is the last thing they wish to do. >There is a legal immigration process. When my passport was stolen, containing within my citizenship docs, I had occasion to sift through lots of stuff online to find what I wanted. I found the site where I could apply for immigration, very expensive, that was just to apply and there was a notice that if your application was not accepted, the money would not be returned! If I recall correctly it was approx $2500. for a family of four, a fortune to many people. So out of reach to many. When we applied to become landed immigrants in 1968 (we were here with NATO) it was as simple as David and I going to Immigration down at the port, and they practically bowed and scraped and additionally, waived the need to leave Canada for 3 weeks and re-enter (because we pointed out the kids were all in school). I was quite disturbed about it but David dared me to say a word :( So we were told to go down to the Port on such and such a date and report. They then chopped our passports as leaving the country a few weeks before and chopped us back in as arriving that day on the Cristoforo Columbo. So we are even registered to this day that way down at Pier 21. What disturbed me was knowing that all this was done because we were all white, English speaking, educated. Rules for some and different rules for others. We wanted to stay enough I kept quiet but I have always felt it must be very difficult for other people. |

Thats one thing we have cheap here in Virginia Beach. The city of Suffolk is a major peanut growing area. It's about a 2 hour drive west and a little south to get to Severn NC (where Hampton Farms is). Major product here is raw in the shell. We are also a major place for sweet potatoes and strawberries. |

We have a year round one but it's mostly crafts and winter veggies (plus some hot house stuff) at this season. We'd have bins of raw peanuts at ours because it's something that keeps well. |

You have lived in a lot more places than I have and you are currently in a hot climate. You are used to it. Up here we start to melt when the thermometer goes over 80 degrees. We don't don't eat soup when it is hot. Restaurants that offer soup or salad as a first course sell a lot of salads in the summer and soup in the winter. |

There is no such thing. Too much added crap and chemicals. Makes the pizza taste like crap... You want an easy delicious pizza? Buy a soft tortilla shell whatever cheese you want, whatever toppings you want find your preferred pizza sauce.. dress the pizza with sauce then cheese then toppings or do it whatever hell the way that you want then put it in the airfryer or oven for 6-8 minutes at 400 degrees and you have a delicious thin crust pizza.
