i take it that you have not seen this video then?! Wow! I'll bet I haven't heard that song in 20 years...! I guess from the perspective that the video depicts an always-fully-clothed singer who seems to be enjoying himself, it emphasizes the lyrics of the song. :lol: I'm talking about stuff like th...

Dennis has an excellent idea in trying before buying. My now-wife has a queen-size Sleep Number bed. I slept on the "slab" side, she slept on the "marshmallow" side. All great -- except for the canyon between the two halves. I didn't find it conducive to cuddling in any form (gah...

If you need blue jeans here you go. http://www.texasjeans.com/ (snip) I have yet to get the jeans I've got them. Found Texas Jeans (based out of North Carolina!) when I couldn't find Lands' End jeans in my inseam size. They're good jeans, they wear well, they're made in the U.S. and they're really ...

Since when did Frank Sinatra take on book-cover gigs?

Welcome to SMF, GD! Great first post!

And Gil, I agree with you completely. The ready availability of 10- or 15-shave sizes of soaps and cremes for me would kick off SCAD and SSAD big time...

not sure if its only me and i have issues, but when I listen to music lately i am quite enthralled but then if i see the video of it or similar it either turns me off completely or spoils the song somewhat It's not just you, Clive. :? While I appreciate a well-made video as much as the next guy, th...

I saved my very last Feather for my wedding day. It was a special shave. And a special day.

Best wishes, Mike! I hope you and Mrs. Maskaggs enjoy every happiness!

What is Apple's rationale for "upgrading" from 10.6? It seems like it's mostly a convenience for them, so they can eliminate Rosetta and focus on very new hardware. I think that's part of it, but they also want to start moving more people toward the iOS experience and make using an Apple ...

Chris, it's always good to see posts from you, though I wish the news were better than it is right now. At least Pye is on the mend and the tumor was benign, and those are Good Things (TM).

Scott and Craig, I hope you find a way out of the woods, as well. It's amazing how quickly life can change....

Before I bought this latest Macbook Pro I was shopping for Windows laptops just to give them a fair shot. Not one had a decent trackpad. Answer from the sales "techs"? "Use a mouse, I do." Except that we use our laptop as a...laptop Same here. I just got a new Windows laptop at ...

Thanks for the explanation, Chris. I guess I can't add much except to offer what technical support I can for old Macs. Greg, speaking personally, I have no immediate plans to move to Lion. Maybe I should think about it as we now have an iPad in the house, but it effectively means updating three comp...

Oh, Joel, I'm so sorry to hear that. Please accept my condolences and prayers. Justin and I corresponded a bit while he was here in Minnesota, and I was struck by his can-do attitude and positive spirit. I wish I had had the chance to meet him personally. I'm guessing he was even more inspiring in p...

That's my experience with IT on television and movies, too.

Good to see you back!

Kudos, Chris, for getting it all working! Is the perpetuation of the existing medical software your choice or someone else's? You're correct in that eventually you will not be able to find enough hoops to jump through. I would hope there is billing and claims software available which is newer than w...

I am under the distinct impression that the pursuit of the bottom line is now the only thing that matters to companies. Certainly at publicly-traded companies, continued profit growth seems to be the main reason they do anything. It's almost as though if you can't maximize the profit potential of a...

It's good to have you join us!

How old is your B&D? I have heard some of the newer models abandoned some metal motor parts for plastic parts, but I have also seen reviews like yours for the old ones. Hi, Nick. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I actually purchased my B&D second-hand from a couple who bought a h...

I, too, have settled for what is working for me: Gillette LHSA, Dorco 301s, and a Savile Row brush (I forget the number; I suppose I need to turn in my wetshaving card for that :oops: ). The only real variables will be the Yardley Black Label when it finally runs out and the cream/soap. Right now I'...

So while we are on this topic, anybody have experience with electric lawnmowers? Nick, I've been pushing around a Black & Decker electric for a few years now, having sold off my Brill reel mower (very nice but mowing when it needs it does not fit into my schedule and I acquired a couple more la...

Scenes from another Coen brothers movie were shot down the street from our house. They are very much into painting authentic pictures in their stories.
