Do you still watch VCR tapes or you have gone all digital?

samawati @samawati (140) 27 Nov 09

Ha ha , remembering those old bulky tapes just makes me laugh , they were state of art technology back then in the 80's and early 90's before optical discs became the in-thing ... I still have our old VCR packed somewhere in my...

jtr115 The DVD recorder owner's manual should tell you whether it uses DVD-R/RW or DVD+R discs. I accidentally bought the wrong type of discs the first time because I didn't realize there was a difference.

Will the Blacks be back?

XanderDDS @XanderDDS (62) • United States 20 Sep 09

As a big fan of the show 'Curb Your Enthusiasm,' I enjoyed the supporting cast in the last season that included a family of hurricane-survivors living with Larry. Their family name was Black. They often provided a lot of playful...

jtr115 I guess I spoke too soon. At the end of the second episode, the Blacks wound up moving out following after Loretta assumed Larry was doing something intimate with another woman.

jtr115 I think it was called Xenadrine or something similar (I remember it began with an X.) I've always had trouble staying on a diet since I had withdrawal symptoms from stopping all fatty foods immediately. Right now I'm slowly cutting back on fatty foods to...

I think I have a "wrong number" stalker...

reinydawn @reinydawn (11643) • United States 18 Jun 09

OK, this is strange... The phone just wrang and it was some guy. He's all cheerful sounding and asks if I was awake already because I sound like it. He says this like I'm usually still in bed - at 8am on a weekday... I'm not sure...

jtr115 I contacted the phone company, but they said they cannot trace a call if the number is blocked. I wound up changing my cell phone number in hopes of stopping these calls.

As if a bacon cheeseburger wasn't fattening enough

jtr115 @jtr115 (722) • United States 8 Jul 09

I was recently shown a picture of bacon cheeseburgers which use glazed donuts instead of buns. When I saw this, I pictured someone thinking, "I like donuts, and I like bacon cheeseburgers, but eating them both separately is such a...

mynestegg @mynestegg (519) • Philippines 10 Jul 09

Just wondering, for those of you who's had DIRECTV or who still have DIRECTV, do you feel that you are getting your money's worth? For those who switched from DIRECTV, is your current provider better? Who did you go with and...

jtr115 It's actually called Falcon Broadband (Internet/cable.) Falcon is a town just east of Colorado Springs, and the service is only available in that area so far. The company says it hopes to eventually expand into Colorado Springs.

Are You Waiting for President Barack Obama to Fail?

bailey2009 @bailey2009 (174) • United States 6 Jul 09

Seems like a question that would only have 1 answer...."Absolutely NOT" However, that does not seem to be the answer I have come accross in some of the discussions I have responded to. There is a group of people that are...

jtr115 I'd like to see it legalized since it can be used for medicinal purposes. Prior to World War II, farmers were actually encouraged to grow marijuana before it was labeled as a "devil's weed." Marijuana would be a good alternative to pills for some since...

Adults Do You Have A Security Blanket?

Brian @wolfie34 (26771) • United Kingdom 6 Jun 09

I have heard abut "Twittering", but I really don't understand it. Can anyone explain it to me in simple terms? Sometimes I just am not up on all this new stuff that keeps coming out. I still don't even understand Blogging and now...
