I don't think that you will regret it, though you may need to get cable or satellite to get HD and really make it worthwhile. About 3-4 years ago I called my uncle down in Florida and heard all about the big project he was working on. He was installing digital converters on his three TVs. He was about 96 at the time and had been working on it for a few days. Nice that a guy that old is up to tackling the job, but it was kind of depressing for me to think that he was having so much trouble considering that he had been an electrical engineer and worked on aircraft missile systems. I suggest that he time the old CRT TVs and get a flat screen. He rejected that idea, saying that HD was a crock and only required because the screens are so big now. He figured that the rooms in his condo are small so they are never that far from the TV and that there are ample pixels on a 24 inch screen for a clear picture. > *My son's electronics company means that I will be able to get one > wholesale. bonus |

In my city, it you call ahead to your trash collector, they will pick up your TV and take it away. It does end up at the landfill area, but there it is harvested of whatever they take from it and then it and all the other TVs get hauled away . Check and see if that is available to you. Janet US |

No, not really. I've known and worked with plenty of people from India. Computer programmers, mostly, and tech support.

Actually I can lift them just fine and I do carrying them from my car into the house using both hands, it's carrying them down the basement stairs that's difficult because I need to carry each bag with one hand and use the other hand on the railing. It's not easy carrying forty pounds with one hand, plus that plastic hand grip is very narrow so it digs into my hand, so I wear a heavy leather insulated work glove on that hand. Not too many years ago the job was a lot more difficult, the bags weighed fifty pounds and there was no molded hand grip... that's why the last people used a 2" X 10" wooden plank as a ramp and slid the salt bags down. I'll bet that Kootchie couldn't carry those bags of salt down 16 steps using only one hand... Nordic Track does nothing to strengthen ones hand grip.... the only hand grip strengthening exercise Koothie does is pumping his two inch fuse once a month. LOL-LOL |

Yes, remember when he needed help lifting the speaker? For his "sound" in the basement. As if anyone actually cared. He did say he couldn't lift it. I think it was a ruse to get someone to come into his house. Sheldon's doing pretty well for his age. And hey, he's man enough to admit he might need some help now. We're all getting older. Except for the great Kuthe who says he "rips it" on a Nordic track and thinks any of us care. What does that have to do with being able to lift 40# bags? I'd love to see him do that. He gets tuckered mowing his tiny front yard with his electric lawn mower. Jill |

No need to defend yourself. Joan (and I) are on your side with this one. Kuthe couldn't carry those 40# bags from the car and down the stairs to the basement to save his life. He's calling you a weakling? You plant and harvest a garden every year. He rents rooms to people who have convinced him eating mangos makes him look cool. LOL Jill |

It's can be an eye opener to see how little effort some people put into "ripping it". I ran into enough of them at gyms over the years. They are the people who walk side by side on the walking track and are constantly being lapped by the other people on the track, or they block swimming lanes in the pool. They go on the weight machines and work out on minimal amounts and then discretely change the weight setting when they get off. I once had a run in with a couple of old babes in the pool. I used to swim 1000 meters almost every day and stuck to the medium lanes where I could maintain a pace and get my laps in and leave the fast lanes for the faster swimmers. There were two older women swimming side by side very slowly and I had to pass them repeatedly. They complained that I was splashing them. I suggested they should move over to the slow lane but they said they were medium swimmers. I pointed out that the people in the slow lane were swimming faster than they were. In their minds they were ripping it. I have to give Kuthe credit for staying an hour on a Nordic track. I cannot put in much time on any type of stationary exercise machine. They are just too boring. Five minutes seems to last an hour. It is a real challenge to do 10. |

But crow and crow about >how smart you are and nobody but you believes in your intelligence. Kootchie is an utter imbecile... the only chemical used in water softeners is pure NACL, solar salt, it's the same salt one adds to their food, only it's much larger crystals. The water softener removes the minerals from our well water but adds nothing but pure salt when the unit back washes out the other minerals, all ends up in our creek, adds no salt to out domestic water. Any other impurites are removed with our reverse osmosis filter.... even all germs (bacteria/viruses) are negated with a UV light, why don't more people add a UV light to their water treatment, probably because they are too cheap. The devise costs little but the UV bulb needs to be replaced once a year and costs about $125 plus a $10 disposal fee. Our A/C system filter also contains two UV lamps, all the air in our house is constantly treated with UV, two more bulbs to replace each year... treated even in winter when we don't use A/C, then the blower motor automatically switches to low. We are living here 16 years, neither of us has had a cold in all those years. People don't realize all the germs in their water and air. BTW, bottled water is not sterile nor is it clean, it's labled with an expiration date (on the cap) as it's not RO filtered nor is it treated with UV. People who gorge on bottled water are only polluting the planet with all their plastic waste, not to mention polluting their bodies by consuming all that filthy germy bottled water. When we want bottled water we refill our reusable Camelbak plastic bottles from our RO tap. I have one bottle on my night stand and one on my PC desk. We sanitize our refillable water bottles with Hydrogen Peroxide... add a half ounce, shake it, and let it sit for ten minutes, then rinse... do the same with tooth brushes. Do Not gargle with peroxide, it kills mouth cells... best for sanitizing your mouth is salt water... commercial mouth washes like Listerine are pure BS, those do nothing but empty your wallet. To freshen breath chew on a mint leaf... I prefer Sen Sen, black licorise, or fennel... I love munching on a crisp fennel bulb with some kosher salt. |

I'll be 77 in a few days, Kootchie could never out work me at any age. Oh, first thing this morning I lugged the last four bags of salt to the basement. One bag would put Kootchie in the hospital, he'd need an RN, a REAL RN, not a fake stoned RN like himself who couldn't be trusted with a rugrat. |

When I have travelled in France I was able to deal with simple conversations and had no trouble getting meals, hotels and travel arrangements. It is a different matter in Quebec. The French is even worse in Northern Ontario, but they readily switch to English..... just like the do in France if they speak it, and most do. It is only in Quebec where they insist on their shitty version of French. We had always encouraged our son to learn French. We had arranged for a tutor and he had gone on an exchange program for 6 weeks. When he moved to Montreal I urged him to become fully bilingual. I pointed out that large companies were always looking for bilingual staff and that there are a lot of bilingual jobs in the government and explained that they are for people who are bilingual not just French. It worked. He spoke it well enough to get a job in a hotel while at university, and then as a bartender and later as manager. He ended up in a bilingual government position where the starting pay was 40% more than he had been making managing a brew pub, and he gets a bonus for being bilingual. He has since become fluent in Spanish. |

Yeah, but you really should stop using the speaker phone. Sounds like you're in a tunnel. Oh, and you don't have to shout. Get a headset if you don't want to hold the phone. :) I haven't gotten my "stimulus" check yet but no matter, it's already spent. I paid my homeowner's insurance. When the check is [direct] deposited it will almost make up the difference. A cell phone, smart or not, is the last thing I'd think about using that money for. I facetiously suggested Ken should buy some cookbooks. He says says he has cookbooks. Okay, so consult your Joy of Cooking and buy more dried beans. Jill |
