What was the R.E.M. song used at the end of the April 4 episode of Jericho?

sapphiresage @sapphiresage (431) • United States 13 Apr 07

I can't get that melody out of my head, it's so haunting! It was the episode where Mayor Anderson gets shot. At the end of the episode, they were playing this R.E.M. song, and I don't know the name of it and it's driving me...

Parents and schools

sapphiresage @sapphiresage (431) • United States 13 Apr 07

Around here, the student population is growing far faster than they can build schools to meet the demand. Parents are being very difficult and fighting the schools' efforts to fit all the students in. A neighboring county planned...

The -illegals- in the US are demanding rights. How absurd is that?

sapphiresage @sapphiresage (431) • United States 8 Apr 07

It just baffles me that these people broke the law to begin with and are now demonstrating in the streets of Los Angeles and demanding rights. Rights are for citizens and those who come here legally, using the proper channels. I...

What is the best family vacation you went on as a child?

sapphiresage @sapphiresage (431) • United States 7 Apr 07

When I was a kid, we didn't take big expensive vacations. We'd all pile in the car and my parents would plan a route that would take us to all sorts of different little attractions. Sometimes there would be cool educational or...

What classic literature should be required reading in schools?

sapphiresage @sapphiresage (431) • United States 6 Apr 07

My fourth grader's class hasn't read a single classic this year, and I'm a little irritated about it. The books she is assigned to read are all fluff and no substance. Fortunately, we're homeschooling her next year, so I'll be...

What kids' shows drive you to change the channel and why?

sapphiresage @sapphiresage (431) • United States 6 Apr 07

I was just changing the channel because Teletubbies came on, and I was wondering what shows drive other people nuts to the point where they will change the channel. For me, it's Teletubbies, Barney, Boobah, Dora the Explorer,...

What type of store or aisle in a store can you spend hours in?

sapphiresage @sapphiresage (431) • United States 4 Apr 07

Personally, I can spend hours in an office supply store. I love looking at all the pens, neat little organizational stuff, and well, just everything. What sort of place holds you enthralled?

Internet text pet peeves

sapphiresage @sapphiresage (431) • United States 4 Apr 07

I know everybody has them. Those little things on the internet that drive you crazy to see. I have lots of them; for example, it drives me nuts to see "u" instead of "you" and "r" instead of "are". It really hinders the...

Parent-teacher conferences: to do them or not?

sapphiresage @sapphiresage (431) • United States 3 Apr 07

It's report card day here, and of course one daughter's first-grade teacher sends out a generic note telling all parents to "please call for a conference with a time and date you would like to come in". Now, I love my kids. I...

People who forward stupid stuff through email.

sapphiresage @sapphiresage (431) • United States 3 Apr 07

There are certain people who always forward me things via email, and if it's not something cutesy, stupid and a waste of time, it's a hoax that they should have checked out before passing on. Usually, there is no personal message...
