    Is it just me...

    I thought the kids uniforms were kind of creepy. Everything else was pretty cool. Of course that would be a day in the future of about 1% of Americans. Can you imagine what all that stuff would cost? It was a neat commercial though. Amazing what they can do with CG. I like the windows. I bet...

    Oil Running Low? We know why!!!

    Well you could look at it as having money in the bank. When the Middle East has dumped all the dictators that we put in place and the new governments decide not to play ball with us anymore. We can go to Alaska and pump some oil to last us for a couple more years. There was a reason why Bush...

    The FDA May Change HFCS Name to Corn Sugar

    I'm going to go eat a big bowl of Purina Dog Chow with a pound of butter melted over it and some Ramen noodles. Microwave it for 3 minutes and dig in. Maybe I'll just give it to the dogs. Our dogs have always eaten Purina Dog Chow. They have beautiful coats, great breath and they are not fat...

    That's quite a bit, but to tell you the truth I was expecting more.

    Food Prices, Shortages & Inflation - The Trash Index

    Just a quick question. How are "The entitlement" people supposed to work for their stuff when the wealthy corporation people keep sending the production facilities over to China? The corporations by law have to turn the best profit they can for their shareholders. So until people are willing...

    Struggling Family in Economy

    Yea, the Californians did the same thing here in Colorado. It seems like around 1995 or so when the technology bubble busted there was a big immigration of Californians here. Don't get me wrong. I love California and the west coast in general. I really miss the Pacific and the mountains they...

    Food Prices, Shortages & Inflation - The Trash Index

    Well, they could also come and throw us all in forced labor camps too. I would give the odds of that about the same as the 401k thing. Imminent domain absolutely sucks. However they do have to pay fair market value. It's just that fair market value is quite often in the eyes of the beholder...

    Struggling Family in Economy

    No kidding. I lived in San Jose for 5 years. When we went to the bay area for vacation in 2001 a 3 bdrm, 2bath, 2 car garage on a concrete foundation and stucco walls was going in the 900k range. I hear they got up over a million before the housing crash and are now down in the 600k range. Up...

    Struggling Family in Economy

    Why did they pick this family? Go find a family that used to live in a nice home and are now living in their 20 year old mini van. That send their kids out every day to scour trash cans for redeemable cans or to beg on corners. They should have shown a family in real need. A family that has run...

    The FDA May Change HFCS Name to Corn Sugar

    They had some guy on the radio about 4 months ago talking about it. He was a scientist and and he was against it. As was stated it's exactly the same stuff. It's just concentrated sugar extracted from corn. Fructose is in all fruit. When it's made in to juice it is much more concentrated and...

    Food Prices, Shortages & Inflation - The Trash Index

    401k's are fully owned by the person who's account it is. It is the same as a savings account with a higher rate of return (hopefully). The money in that account was earned by the person that owns the account. Sometimes there is a matching contribution by the company up to a set percentage. It...

    Homeschooling mentally retarded children.

    She might want to consider getting her one of those capsules they inject under her skin for birth control. Unless she want's to put her in a cell. She will be seeking attention and that's a sure way to get it from a lot of boys. Better safe than sorry. Just don't tell her what it's for so she...

    wind turbines all around...

    Coal needs to be part of the big picture. Nuclear would be good too except it is really really expensive and takes decades to get the initial start up cost back. We need a combination of everything. Here in Colorado they are switching some of the coal fired plants to natural gas. It's expensive...

    What do I do with a fish after I hook it?

    If you leave them alive and put them on a stringer, be sure to anchor the end of the streamer real well. They flop around quite a bit and can actually pull the stringer with them out of sight in to deeper water. If you find a decent place to fish here in beautiful Colorado let us know. I fished...

    The Arrogance of Authority

    I like it. Reminds me of the time my mother was PO'd at me when I was 14. She was speeding along yelling at me and I saw a cop with radar and told her "You should slow down". She of course sped up. After she got her ticket, I smugly said "I warned you". Yeah she was mad. I was such a *&%*$%^. :)

    Food Prices, Shortages & Inflation - The Trash Index

    It will be interesting to see what actually happens. The price of food is what caused the toppling of Egypts President/Dictator and now Ghadafi. The price of food is controlled by Wall Street. Has nothing to do with who's sitting in the WH or who voted for who. It is caused by speculators who...

    wind turbines all around...

    So when these mills explode do they put out radioactive fallout or PCB's or what? Just curious how it contaminates the field. Sounds like a landowner trying to make some money on a frivolous lawsuit. I've never been up close to one. If they are as noisy as I'm hearing they are then they should...

    Looks like we might need to prepare....sooner! YIKES!

    They are saying this weird weather will be occurring at least every other year or so for the foreseeable future. The east coast should be expecting another hot summer like last year. It will be interesting to see what kind of migration occurs because of the new and changing weather.
