While people argue about climate change, no one can deny that ocean levels are rising. Farmers in places like Bangladesh have been forced to leave their farms because they are now underwater. Since, regardless of the cause, this trend shows no signs of reversal, could floating cities be the...

I watch 10 Years Younger on TLC every once in a while. They do a great job of revamping someone's look but they also go above and beyond what most people can afford by having them visit a plastic surgeon and having cosmetic dentistry. Do you think they go too far? Would you rather see them...

I am allergic to nickel which means I have to be extremely careful when using aluminum Crochet hooks or knitting needles. How difficult is it to make wood versions of the same craft tools? Could they be made using a very small, table top lathe?

Our appearance is extremely important, especially if we might be looking for new employment, or we need to stand out to keep our current job. This isn't always the easiest thing to do in a harsh economy. What little tricks have you started using to keep your appearance appealing to as many...

Has anyone seen the stories about the tent city in Sacramento? I heard that people have been moving into a tent city at a rate much like that of the Great Depression, which seems to fly in the face of the economists and media that hasn't used the word "depression" to describe our economic...

Don't know how long this will last, but it may be a sign that the depression is easing a bit. Do you think we will have a little more good news from the stock market, by the end of this month?

Since solar ovens work fairly well, wouldn't it also be fairly easy to just wrap some vegetables in aluminum foil, dull side out, and place the package in the sun? I bet squash would be edible after a few hours.

I think it would be great to have one of those hanging pot racks. They are usually made of metal so one made of a really nice wood would be unique.

If you could go out to your garage, and find a perfectly complete woodworking shop, what sorts of things would you make for your kitchen? Most people would probably make those huge tossed salad spoons and forks, but I think really nice set of bowls or a cake stand would be great. Even a really...

That reminds me of a seen in 2001: A Space Odyssey. There's shot where a fellow uses a pay phone, and the insignia on the side of the phone is a Bell Telephone sticker. It's one of those things that shows how reality outstripped imagination. You can hardly find a pay phone anywhere and the...

Let's hope you catch the show when the host sings something. He has a really good voice!

I watched when Greg Kinnear was the host, but haven't watched it since. I guess I'm too busy watching or doing other things these days.

I remember watching the Jeeves and Wooster series on PBS, but really have no desire to watch House.

We watch it on The Discovery Channel. I think it tends to run at night, almost every night of the week. If you like machinery, The History Channel run Modern Marvels. This show looks at how machines, among other things, are developed and/ or how they are used.

Has there been any news on this lawsuit? I don't think I even heard about it on CNN. Did the plaintiff have a change of heart?

Taking walks carries this nostalgic air with it, that is if you aren't power walking. I remember older people taking walks after dinner, when we'd visit relatives in other states. The habit has sort of died out with the push to get fit and trim as fast as possible, and with companies drooling...

I developed this habit of looking in the sale bins at the back of the grocery store, a long time ago and have maintained the habit. We also buy things like rice and dried beans when they go on sale, because they don't go bad and are easy to store. I guess we have developed a fairly frugal...

But, Gold and silver are not the industrial metals we're talking about, are they? I think the goal here would be to get into a resource that is tightly chained to a developing economy. Since China has most of the people on earth within its borders, their entry into the industrial age has to...

I love the way people who smoked pot during their teens and early 20's, are now in leadership positions. They didn't ruin their lives, they didn't go nuts, and most notably, they didn't move on to harder drugs. Not much left to object to when those little facts are examined. I have a feeling...

Here, any liens have to be disclosed and taken care of before the sale can go through. I am not sure how it is other places because each state has different laws.
