Dinner is served!!! I had to do some grocery shopping anyway, since tomorrow is Canada Day, and nothing is going to be open. I wanted to get some cheese, and things to eat as part of a picnic on the balcony tomorrow. Anyway, while...

Vladilyich1 I never really cared for sushi until we found the wonderful Japanese Sushi booth at our local grocery store, and a fabulous Japanese restaurant downtown. My wife loves it, and has me hooked too.

Vladilyich1 Forgot to load the image, and one can't post a response to their own discussion unless commenting on another response, so Leah asked me (her husband) to log in and post the picture. Here it is! :)

Vladilyich1 It looks pretty shady to me. It's eBay outside of the U.S. You have to buy bids and there's no guarantee.

Vladilyich1 You can't even get information from them without being referred by a member and they only have 27 members. That's a really poor way to have it when you can't sign up or even get information unless you have been referred.

Your Thoughts On Regulation

ZephyrSun @ZephyrSun (7381) • United States 28 Sep 10

This is more for the conservative side of politics because they are the ones that I see/hear voicing their opinions on regulation (government) for all type of different things. So think of all of the regulation out there, and...

sharone74 @sharone74 (4837) • United States 28 Sep 10

Thank You GOP Congressmen For Looking Out For Corporate America

ZephyrSun @ZephyrSun (7381) • United States 29 Sep 10

And sticking it to women once again. The GOP is against the Paycheck Fairness Act (PFA) because it would open companies up to needless law suits. Now, we couldn't have women suing companies because they are paid far less than...

Sesame Street Pulls Katy Perry From Show--Sexy Dress

Vladilyich1 I think it was ridiculous to pull her off. If you take a kid to the mall or a walk down most streets, they'll see MUCH worse. How about going to a public swimming pool?

Vladilyich1 I've got to get the winter coats to the dry cleaners. I have a full-length Russian military overcoat that is pure wool and my wife has a great red wool coat. Unfortunately, our long-haired cat slept on them most of the summer and they're covered in hair.

Vladilyich1 It should definitely be banned from automobiles. Even the "hands free" models don't prevent the distraction that paying attention to another's conversation does. You can't divide your attention between the telephone and the automobile. If your mind is a...

Hotel California

elfondu_anolis @elfondu_anolis (2) • United States 20 Mar 09

What's the meaning of Hotel California? Is it the story of a ghost in a Californian mission, or a man trapped in a Californian mission while looking for his wife?

Vladilyich1 I always interpreted this as a junkie's drug dream about addiction. "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave..." "They stabbed it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast..."

What's happening with the Gulf Coast

It's been a while since I've heard anything about the oil spill. I haven't had much chance to watch the news. What's happening with the Gulf Coast? Has the spill stopped? Is the cleanup going well? Thanks!

Vladilyich1 Unfortunately, when your response is deleted, any credit you got for it will also be deleted. They seem to do a lot of this just before the end of the month right before you're ready to cash out.

$1 Million is NOT A Lot of Money???

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 17 Feb 10

That's what GOP Chairman Michael Steel said recently - "Trust me, after taxes, a million dollars is not a lot of money." I just thought I'd try to take an informal survey here to see who agrees with that statement. Allow me to...

Vladilyich1 I tend to agree. The taxes on $1-million is in the neighborhood of 50%, which means you'll only see half of that and that will only last around 5 years. Most people in the U.S. will make more than $1-million during their life.
