darksquall I live on a cul-de-sac and have a driveway right at the end of the road. You would not believe how many people we've had parking to block the driveway and then having the audacity to yell at us for asking to move their cars. I have two very elderly relatives...

darksquall I never carry a bag, but I may start soon - I just picked up some patterns to make bags and things and I finally think I could make a bag I wouldn't mind carrying. Usually I have all my essentials in my pockets - an inhaler, a wallet, a handkerchief and my...

darksquall Compared to a Laptop, they just don't measure up for me. Sure they're cool and trendy and have some cool functions but they just don't have the abilities I need in a device. They're awesome. They just don't do enough to make them worth the money in...

darksquall Supposedly the number is mistranslated and has been propogated over time. The number is actually 616. I think there was a bus route somewhere in Russia that changed it's number from 666 to 616 to avoid any bad connotations with the number - now that's bad...
