They've featured Corelle dinnerware and it's manufacturing process. Like most all their shows, this one was pretty interesting. |

Yes, terrible. Although in many cases the comb over has been replaced with the potato head, where they shave it all off. "I'm not going bald, I just shaved off all my hair." |

As if you're about to hand her a restaurant menu with no prices. If one says 'men', one should say 'women' kinda thing. |

I'm not too keen on the sleek-as-a-peeled-onion look but a short buzz is ok and MUCH better looking than those ridiculous comb-overs. |

If I was to strike up a conversation with another hotel guest, I'd make sure they called me by my name. If the hotel guest was a wee lad, "sir" would be fine and appropriate. OTOH, I wouldn't expect a hotel staff to call me by my name - that would be weird. If I was at a hotel in Hawaii, "uncle" would be fine but only after it was established that I was a local. The rules for what we call each other varies and are quite complicated. >Of course, it's not right that a neighbor should call another neighbor "sir." Well, unless they was a wee small lad - and a weird one at that. Would you prefer 'sir' or 'dude' if those were the choices? "Have a seat, dude." |

I wish someone would tell OhFeelMe that dsi1 does not speak for the whole country. She seems to hang onto every word he says as if it's the gospel or he's some sort of expert. He really has no knowledge of the mainland and its' inhabitants. |

I live in a college town with a population over 100,000. There are so many tech spinoffs from the university, you can hardly swing a cat without hitting a nerd. Having a PhD in the humanities is practically a requirement for being a cab driver here. Cindy Hamilton |
