kiwikidz Hi, no I don't as I live in NZ but couldn't resist saying hi as you look like you could certainly do with a hearing ear my sister. Take a few breaths and if all fails go and scream out the door, or if you do have a couple of stiff drinks (but personally not...

Why did you choose the Internet?

derlilaStern @derlilaStern (1756) • United States 19 May 09

kiwikidz I also cannot stand ads that pop up and flicker like that, it seems that people find more and more ways of getting in your face they get dealt with and they find a way of getting back again. It is really distracting especially for those who have eyesight...

kiwikidz I get it quite often and it quite annoying as it goes on for some time, not great when on computer or doing handcraft. I wonder if it is tiredness or when you are concentrating on close work.

Is America going to have a shortage of electricity?

estherlou @estherlou (5015) • United States 12 Feb 08

Greeners have celebrated the closing of 59 coal plants in 2007. The thing is, the coal plants produce 50% of our electric power. The greens opposed nuclear power plants also, so we haven't built a new one in 30 years. The article...
