[quote who="Frogboy" reply="17" id="3405670"] I still see people bring up the "FACT" that I'm a big Glenn Beck fan when in fact I've never even seen his show or have any interest.[/quote] I knew there was something I liked about you.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="13" id="3405014"] I look at the same thing and think "Wow, these people are sad."[/quote] I've seen people like this first hand. I worked for Sun Oil back in the 90's. There were 2 'young ladies' whose immediate supervisor went through a divorce and had found herself back in the dating scene. She would describe her dates the next day to these two young ladies. In. Detail. They asked her to stop with the 'details'

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="40" id="3403407"]The problem with Windows Phone is just that it has no personality. Someone it Microsoft mistakenly believed that easier = boring. It's not fun using a bunch of colored blocks. On top of that, they hard coded a back button just to add a bit of gratuitous complexity. LCARS was an interesting idea in the 80s. But My natural inclination was to move to a Windows Phone device. But they are so objectively infer

We have had to look at phones. My wife is still using the Samsung Fascinate (Galaxy I) and it's just too old to keep up anymore with the apps and games, etc., it's constantly freezing on her.\ She wants an iphone but has NEVER had one. The 'change' scares her, learning to use it, etc. Second choice is either the Galaxy 3 or 4 (depending on the deal she can get) Her biggest issue with either is the size of the thing. She thinks it's too bulky to carry around

First...download Shark Codecs and install. I have used them for years. Found them through MajorGeeks. They are very safe and will allow whatever media player you go with to play virtually anything. Shark Codecs are one of the first things I install on any new PC I get. And they are free. For just playing, I would go with Winamp. There are lots of skins and plug-ins, it's free, and still a relevant media player for music and video. If you're a musicphile with a huge col

What I am learning is how much a lot of these can suck the motivation right out of you. It's like trading this for sleep or that for a clear thought and it never stops.

I think privacy is now a thing of the past. The only venue they have left to invade is your actual thoughts. I think about the scene in '1984' where Winston Smith stands in absolute awe when a member of the Inner Party demonstrates that he can 'turn off' the Big Brother Telescreen . He's never seen one turned off before. Later, when he is being interrogated, it appears the device that was 'turned off' may have been recording their conversation the entire ti

The drugs are good and bad. I started with tramadol...which is what most pain docs will start you with..iy's a non-opiate. Then, when that stops working, you move on to the opiates....percoset, oxycontin, etc. I've been on fentynol patches and have graduated to methadone. A lot of them barely touch the worst of the pain. I'm dealing with arthritic pain and severe nerve pain on top of it in my legs and feet, arms, hands...lately in my shoulders and hips as well. The doctor
