databrent Hello, well, 1,500$ is not that much of a salary here in Germany, whereI live. It is a lot like FrugalMommy described it for the U.S. You can live with this money, but not the real good life where you don't have to worry that much about expenses. You would...

So which Star Trek show do you watch - and why? Are you an obsessed fan who attends the conventions and has watched every show and collects memorabilia or do you just enjoy the clever sci-fi adventure of it all?

databrent Yeah, I have been to some conventions,mostly in the 90s...my last one was already eight years ago (Ugh..time goes fast!) I'm glad I was at the Star Trek 30 convention in Pasadena in 1995 were all the cast of TOS was present. So I've seen De Forest Kelly and...

I think it is not only useful to have the subtitle for foreign movies, but also it's good for watching from TV. As sometimes I watch TV when my child is sleeping, I will turn down the volume very low so that it won't wake up my...

databrent Well, I'm a little surprised that most people seem to find subtitles helpful. In fact, I HATE subtitles of any kind. I never use them, I find them all distracting and annoying. Here in Germany, it's custom to dubb everything, and I'm sometimes annoyed by that,...

databrent Thanks for the comment! Blowing one's nose is, in fact, the cause why Kleenex doesn't come up to the task. It doesn't even stand one stark blow without falling apart....lol.

Have you ever jugged a book from it cover. I know I should put that in "people" interest. However since the word "book" is mentioned, it is in the "reading" interest.

databrent Hmm..sometimes, I admit, I'm attracted to buy a book because of its cover. But it happens seldomly. However, I don't think, the cover is unimportant. I like books with covers that fit well into the subject.
