I'm reading about the new ability to download music that is 'DRM' free. What, exactly, does that mean? Don't you still pay for the music you download? How is this different from iTunes?

DJ9020 Thanks for the explanation. I know that sometimes my daughter downloads stuff from iTunes, and then I think, hey, I like that too, but I can't burn it to a CD. Some I can and some I can't, so I guess that's why. Or maybe I'm just old!

When I was a kid, I thought 50 was old, old, old! Now that I am 50 - why, I don't feel all that much older than I did 10 or even 20 years ago! Is it just our perception of what it means to be old changing, or due to our longer...

DJ9020 In that case, I should feel 100!! Stess I got, by the bucket load! But I feel optimistic about my situation, and perhaps that is the key.

DJ9020 I guess that's true. Do you feel old physically or mentally? I don't have any major health problems, so maybe that is a big part of it.

DJ9020 Yes, it always seems to go out the top - and on his clothes, and our clothes, and the bedding..... I'll check on those natural fit ones. Thanks to everyone for their great advice!

DJ9020 I'll have to keep track of the brands we use and decide which I like best. With my girls, one could wear anything but Pampers, and the other could only wear Pampers. Go figure!

DJ9020 We had a lot of diapers given to us as gifts at my daughter's shower, so we're working our way through those. I wish I had kept a list of which ones seemed to leak more than others. I can tell you this, the store brand from Walmart, Parents Choice, was...

I started a discussion recently about problems with my laptop. I have a Toshiba Satellite and I'm pretty sure now the hard drive is fried, due to a bad fan that overheated. I am going to try to replace the hard drive (easy) and...

DJ9020 Hey, I'll take all the advice I can get! Sounds like you have a good source. I tried to call Toshiba for advice, but of course my computer is out of warranty, and they'll charge me $35 just for a phone call!

DJ9020 True ADHD is just as miserable for the child as for the parents. I agree that it is overdiagnosed and over medicated, but if your son is truly ADHD then medication can really help him to function.

I think I need a new harddrive in my laptop. Do I have to get the same kind, or can I get a newer, better harddrive? I have a Toshiba Satellite, A60/A65 series. If I get a new harddrive, can I still use my recovery disk to format...

DJ9020 Unplug - yes, unplugging is good! Ok, I'll try jiggling the hard drive. That I think I can do. At one point, it ran a check disk by itself, and did find a bad sector. I assumed it fixed it. If I do have to get a new harddrive, can I use the recovery disk I got...

DJ9020 That sounds like something worth looking into. Right now it is working, and I got all I needed off it onto a flash drive. So I'm just working with it to see how long it works, etc.

DJ9020 I didn't know about the contracts for the rates. I'll have to check that out. I did know that you can shop around, but I like the company I'm with because we have 100% wind power. It's not really the cheapest, but I think of it as an investment in our future....

Why do people smoke pot? It is worth the feeling you get to risk going to jail? There is someone in my life who has recently started and I am having trouble understanding why.

DJ9020 I do know that they're are legitimate medical reasons for smoking pot. That's not what I mean. What I'm referring to is recreational use that can lead to jail time, loss of family, job, etc.
