dartman2 As did quite a few of my friends and relatives, we spent a quiet evening at home and actually made it awake until midnight. The temperature here dropped last night to about -27C so it was easy to stay inside with a wood fire going downstairs and the dartboard...

dartman2 There are at least three manufacturers selling 1 TB hard drives - Seagate, Samsung and Western Digital. The prices range from C$200 to C$245 and are available today in Canada. These prices will likely drop very soon as Hitachi has pushed the envelope in this...

dartman2 Unfortunately, yes. When I retired 4 years ago, I had saved many jobs to keep me busy. I didn't need to do that because now I prefer to do fun things rather than maintenance and repair. I do intend to get to some of these but tend to put off the ones that...

Do you find yourself eating the same things?

tanniebabe78 @tanniebabe78 (2934) • United States 5 Jul 08

I do. I try to shake things up a couple of times a month, but for the most part, I tend to stick to the same old same old because the kiddo will eat at least some of it. If I fix new stuff he is more reluctant to eat and he is not...

dartman2 Yes, we tend to eat the same types of food but prepared in different ways. Sometimes when we are at an impasse about what to prepare, or too tired, we will visit a local restaurant and perhaps try something a little different. For the most part, we are...

Dancing & Music ways of expression

ngobi210 @ngobi210 (4) 14 Jun 08

I find that dancing and music are good ways to express something especially if you are timid. I would like to have your opinions on the matter :)

dartman2 Another good point to think about is that dancing is a very good form of casual exercise, working out many muscle groups in a light and fun way. I always found it difficult to feel comfortable enough (shy) to dance in public but I guess it helps if you are...

dartman2 I am not consciously a superstitious person but I inevitably find myself automatically "touching wood" when I have made some statement that I truly wish is true but am not completely sure about. I am certain that this habit of mine was learned from my...

dartman2 I would love to write such a book about my life experiences. The difficulty I have is that this involves so many others with whom I have been involved or have interacted with over the years that I feel that the book should be private. This defeats the main...

dartman2 Although it has been quite a while since reading seriously, I have always taken works of fiction as just that - fiction. All aspects of the novel can be fictional or imaginary and this is a freedom that writers have in trying to convey a message, a feeling or...

anonymous101 @anonymous101 (487) 28 May 08

dartman2 I thoroughly enjoyed this film and was a little horrified at the end. I think Mel played an excellent part, and the film was believable in its presentation. It all looked very realistic and plausible.
