You are right about the difference between today and 1953. A shame really. And a shame you never got to meet your heroes. But I am glad it was 1953, they were there, and you are still around to share it with us.
[quote who="MasonM" reply="2" id="3138783"]Thanks, ill look into those. I am really hoping to get a handle on all of this, as well as drop about thirty or forty pounds, strictly through diet and exercise if I can.[/quote] My philosophy exactly. Best of luck.
[quote who="GirlFriendTess" reply="2" id="3138974"]Sounds a lot like a promo for governmental employment ... a how to sort of thing, so sad.[/quote] It kind of does at that. ;) That video is all over the web now. I must have had half my family send me a link to it.
Tess, I still follow the AGW debate, but I am curious as to what you classify as the "hype" on the skeptics side. I try to stay out of hype and look at "just the facts ma'am".
James Lovelock just backed off of his apocalyptic predictions. He is the father of the scare.
I would agree on 4 of your 5. I was never too crazy about Chain of Command. Probably the worst episode was Far point Station - I almost wrote the series off after that! But it turned out to be pretty good. I grew up with Star Trek TOS, and then followed the other series as they came on. You can tell when Roddenberry dies. The year after he died, DS9 went to war with the Dominion. Roddenberry never bought into interstellar wars. In fact, Errand of Me
Best behaved? Ehhhh, I would say most predictable. But their behavior leaves something to be desired at times (we have 7 cats).
You are as great as Jobs. But you have one advantage. His life to learn from, and you have. I hope you and your children have a wonderful life together. I really enjoyed your story (and do not need to know about the sewer shovels!).

I learned (or I guess was taught) a long time ago to respect the 18 wheelers (or any heavy trucks). My sister has been a truck driver for as long as I remember, and she has regaled me with horror stories constantly. But I also see that so many are the clueless people you talk about. I just shake my head and wonder if they realize that god just granted them a reprieve.
[quote who="Big Fat Daddy" reply="2" id="3136845"]Seen lots of fogscapes in SF/East Bay...but Monterey is better IMO... [/quote] Wasn't the original "Fog" filmed there? If you got to meet Adrienne Barbeau, that would make it tops in my book! ;)
[quote who="Big Fat Daddy" reply="3" id="3136860"]I feel pretty much the same way, I had some good times in school, didn't mean to sound a total downer...But I doubt anyone would know who I am, anyway.[/quote] One of the Civvy High Schools I went to touted the fact that Pat Paulson was an alumni. I do not know if that was due to him being the only notable to go there, or the only one they would claim. But in a way, it makes me feel like glory is not that important.&nbs

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="8" id="3136805"] Quoting Daiwa, reply 6 Christopher Reeve. Granular. No, you're right... But at least I don't have Alzheimer's yet. And, at least I don't have Alzheimer's yet.[/quote] It is just too close to George Reeves (the original Superman).
For the Cholesterol, get the following: 1. Instant release Niacin (do not get the slow release). Costco has 1000 pills of the instant release for about $20) 2. Omega 3 - 500mg 3. Red Rice Yeast. I am taking the first 2. My mother all 3 (so I guess it is hereditary). All are OTC. Indeed, the Niacin alone dropped my Cholesterol by 20 points in 2 months. The only "side" effect is that it will give you hot flashes (so you can see how the oth

How does leaving windows open help with meningitis? I have seen fog that bad. The prettiest was in SF, when we could ride our bikes to the top of the hills over looking the Golden Gate Bridge and watch the fog roll in through the bay. With just the top of the bridge towers indicating anything was there. And then in Oceanside where the fog was so thick you could not even WALK in it without holding your arms out. Where i live now, the fog is spotty. It ca

I was much like you in school. Probably a little better on the grade side, a little worse on the sports side. But 10 years later (I graduated in 74), the cliques were fewer. I got to go to 2 "brat" schools (where we were all brats, and no civvies). They were some of the best years, because we were all alike- there today, gone tomorrow. You learned to make friends fast in those days. Now that I am older, I look back on my high school, and I see no real glo

I guess millions are checking their computers - I got: Service Unavailable. Please try again later. Oh well, if they do not check by July, I guess I am going to get a lot of calls.

Just think (or more accurately imagine) what they will be able to do long after we are gone. The limit on human genius is only in the imagination.
You are describing the best life - one that will never be forgotten because of the legacy you leave. God bless you and your whole family, and I hope you enjoy it as long as possible!

Number 3 is Alex Karras. At least that is who he reminds me of. In my family, I am the shortest (and oldest), but #2 is the tallest. Of course none of us are half as big as number three! My Sons? yea, #2 (only 2B and 2G) is the tallest. But he would give Abe Lincoln a run for who is the best rail imitation!
