Get Smart

Jim @jayperiod (870) • United States 24 Jun 08

We saw Get Smart with Steve Carell over the weekend. I'll have to say, it is one of the funniest movies I have seen in quite some time. Steve does a great job of filling the shoes (phone shoes, at that) of Agent 86. After seeing...

Can anyone beat Germany, now?

Jim @jayperiod (870) • United States 19 Jun 08

Germany went into their quarterfinal against Portugal and Ronaldo as underdogs. Many thought they were done, especially after their showing against Croatia. They did not look like themselves in that match. After a very strong...

English Premier League Champions.

Jim @jayperiod (870) • United States 12 May 08

Was anyone else really surprised that Man U won the PL title? They have had the best team since January and Ronaldo has been on fire this year. I thought Chelsea made a great charge, even beating Man U a couple of weeks ago, but...

Still Small Community

Jim @jayperiod (870) • United States 28 Apr 08

When I joined MyLot a little over a year ago, there were about 70,000 members. As of today, there are just over 127,000. I would have thought it would have grown quite a bit more than that, especially since people are looking for...

Tags and Earnings

Jim @jayperiod (870) • United States 21 Mar 08

I don't post as much on here as I used to. I just don't find that many interesting conversations and many new people post the same questions that have already been answered a million times on here. So, it's difficult for me to...

Easter Weekend

Will you spend this Easter weekend rewatching "The Passion of the Christ?" It was such a wonderful portrayal of the crucifiction that it becomes a great reminder of what this weekend celebrates. My two daughters are finally of an...

Top 35 Onwner Points

Jim @jayperiod (870) • United States 19 Mar 08

With the advent of the Top 35 rule a few years ago, a premium has been put on getting and staying in the Top 35 in points. To that end, teams have gone to extremes to get drivers in. When Michael Waltrip started his team, getting...

Jim @jayperiod (870) • United States 4 Feb 08

It is being reported that the Producers and Writers are very close to an agreement, possibly even this week. Do you think this will have an immediate affect on this season's shows or do you think most networks will just use what...

Could the writer's stike end today?

Jim @jayperiod (870) • United States 26 Nov 07

The writers and studio execs are back to the bargaining table today. Do you think they will get it resolved? If they do, will it be quick enough to finish the TV season or will they scrap it and start working on next year?

Choosing A Best Response

Jim @jayperiod (870) • United States 14 Nov 07

Chase Title

Jim @jayperiod (870) • United States 12 Nov 07

Jimmie Johnson pulled away to an 86 point lead after yesterday's race at Phoenix. He won his fourth race in a row, something only a few others have done before. He looked virtually unstoppable. Question: Does Jeff Gordon have a...

Favorite Brand

Jim @jayperiod (870) • United States 1 Nov 07

I have now used Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung and LG. I have liked each phone, but I think my current LG is my favorite. Each one was a good phone, but the Nokia gave me the most problems. Each one has been durable and reliable. I'm...

Who'll Win The Chase This Year?

Jim @jayperiod (870) • United States 13 Oct 07

The way I see it, the Chase is going to come down to three, maybe four drivers from this point on. I see Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson as the serious contenders left. Clint Bowyer has a legitimate shot at them, though. Tony...
