I know that sounds silly, but this really happened. I rarely do this, but the other night I started reading a novel that I ended up liking so much that I literally couldn't put it down. I stayed up all night and finished the...

philjas I used to really hurt my thumbs with the old Nintendo System because it has those rectangular controllers with hard corners.

I've been wanting one of these for a long time, and my coffeemaker broke so now I have an excuse to get one. I've heard that the original Brewstation tends to leak, so even though they're really cheap now I think I'd go for either...

philjas Oh yeah, no carafe is the whole thing. With the Brewstation you make the coffee and it stays in a holding tank at "optimum temperature". Then it dispenses one cup at a time, sort of like coffee machines in restaurants where you serve yourself. I'm a nutcase...

I've had a gel fireplace for about a year and I was just wondering if anybody else has one, or any other type of non-traditional decorative fireplace?

philjas My husband has a wood stove in the garage. I was thinking with the cost of fuel that maybe we should get one for the living room and heat the whole house that way, but I already have the gel fireplace and I like it for its looks and hate to put a wood stove in...

philjas They're really nice and I think you and your husband will like yours. The problem is the gel is really expensive, but there are alternatives to that. Good luck with yours and with your baby!

philjas Everybody in your family has to have a name starting with the same letter. This seems to be a highly important Secret Service rule!

philjas Well I was just able to log in now too. It was a little slow but I got there. I didn't mean to go all panicky, but, well, I've got a little money in there! Thanks for all the responses!

How many of you think that the DRS in myLot actually works the way is should? If you post in Politics or Religion, do you think that others who merely disagree with you will rate you positively for keeping on topic? Do you think...

philjas I am pro-Obama and believe me, the more I post in Politics, the more my star rating goes down. I was also told when I first started posting in Politics that I wouldn't have to worry about my star going down because conservatives don't negative rate opposing...

philjas Taskr, so you think the reason Palin wasn't sure if you'd call abortion clinic bombers terrorist is because she's very aware of the legal definition of "terrorism" and couldn't at that moment commit to an answer? Yeah. She didn't want to call abortion...

philjas Yes and if they're implying that Palin actually knows all about fruit fly research, realizes it's "produced nothing" and therefore thinks it's wasteful to continue it, I think she would have explained that rather just saying with a laugh, "FRUIT FLY research -...

philjas I think I agree with Zephyr that she was sticking to her talking points. I think when this came up in the interview she accessed the Bill Ayers file in her brain and repeated stuff that's in there, rather than LISTENING TO the question. She's done this before,...
