    Are floating cities the answer?

    Off the top of my head, I'd say that if that was a workable solution it would probably be a fairly limited one. It reminds me of a small man-made "island" I saw on TV... It was floating largely because of a bunch of 2 litre empty plastic soda bottles being fastened together. I guess there could...

    Flu... RUN!

    I think you probably have the basics covered SageMother. Hopefully you'll be able to find the opportunity to get the rest that you'll need as you recover. Hope you're feeling better soon.

    Citibank is up!

    Let's hope so, Twiceshy. I heard that this was the best day of the year for the stock market. I haven't heard about the Oshawa, Ontario GM worker's decision to take the company's reworked offer yet. I think that could be another sign of how things may go, considering how important the auto...

    Make over shows...

    I haven't seen the show, but from the way you describe it I think they may go a bit far for my tastes. I realize many people will want to better their appearance with plastic surgery or cosmetic dentistry, but in many cases I think too much emphasis is placed on the appearance of a person.

    This is scary....

    I think appropriate shelter should be a first concern, followed by food and health care. But I think it's a very complex problem and it will be challenging. I hadn't heard of the tent city before.

    Going to the gym

    Walking through a neighborhood that you enjoy is also a plus. You can observe the progress of gardens or landscaping projects, and maybe get to know some of the people and pets too. I especially like walking through the area when there are seasonal decorations up.

    Dirty Jobs

    I don't think I've even seen it advertised. What channel is it on? I'm guessing it may be one of the cable networks?

    What would you make?

    We could really use some storage cupboards that match the built in cupboards. Something that was free standing as apposed to a fixture built onto the wall would be ideal for us.

    how it's made

    I think I've seen a brief clip of the show, and I can see where it would be interesting. I'm not sure where I'd find it on our cable service though.

    Watchmen

    Speaking of Batman, is anyone here familiar with the TV series from the 60s starring Adam West? I loved that when I was a kid and it was pretty campy - Sort of a different experience than most of the current superhero stories now.

    Flat Screen TVs

    I think I'll be doing some research before I get the next generation. I'm not clear of plasma vs. LCD, etc. I have noticed some "bleeding" of colors on a large screen TV, but I'm not sure if that's from the TV or the transmission.

    Going to the gym

    We have an exercise room and pool in our condo complex, but we don't use them very much. We're more likely to go for walks, especially in nice weather.

    Springtime Plans?

    My wife's family has a big meal for Easter. There are some people I like to see at these gatherings and others that I'm not close to. As for projects, I want to get started on the solarium.

    Cooking without fire

    I've had another interesting salad that started with romaine lettuce. You added mayo or coleslaw dressing, mandarin orange segments and roasted pine nuts. I like that as a summer salad.

    Watchmen

    I've caught bits of the trailer too, but I don't really know the premise. It does look to be in the same genre as Batman, doesn't it?

    Cartoons

    I don't regularly watch cartoons, but I do watch animated movies like the Shrek series and Ice Age. I would get into some of the old Looney Tunes, for the nostalgic value. Some of them had fairly involved references, using classical music for example.

    HBO Shows

    I think Survivor was probably the best of them that I've seen. I remember when it first came on, everybody was talking about it and I watched it for a while. I was impressed with some of the changes to the game that were made. I thought that made it more interesting.

    Money spent wisely

    I'd add that while I'm on the lookout for good deals, I've been more cautious in the dollar stores after hearing of some products that had issues. I pay more attention to where the food comes from and where it's processed. I'm more likely to buy recognizable brands there now.

    Shephard Fairey Art

    I agree, but legally you have to get permission to use samples of another track. That's part of the terms of service in legitimate production music sites, for example. And morally, I hope David Bowie and Queen were well compensated for allowing Vanilla Ice to rap over the loop from Under...

    Layaway Making a Come Back?

    Come to think of it a few years ago a coworker was talking about laying something away at Winners. I don't know if they still do that there, either.
