Haines His Way

DR Laura----your in box is full. And to answer your question, "Yes"!

Amy, so is yours.

FJL, I became very close to a cousin the last few years of her life, my deepest sympathies.  It is even more difficult to loose them so young.

I am taking the boys out for lunch, shopping and to the Steelers game at Heinz Field. I have on-field passes and tickets for the game and of course, the boys snatched them. I'll be watching the game from my Mom's couch. Go Steelers! It's raining and cold here--so I keep telling myself. The game should be sloppy. I don't know if anyone watches football but our family loves it.

Fingers crossed that the Steelers come to play tonight.....chow.

I wouldn't be surprised if Craig (younger son in Pittsburgh) is watching.  I know he prefers college football.

Hi Swishy.  I missed you last time you visited.

Heidy-Ho out there to you all you guys and gals, Jacks and Jills, Joes and Janes!

I used to do most of record buying  at Bill's Records (a Phoenix tradition), Walllich's Music City (yes, we had one) and Newberrry's basement.   Songs I HAD to have right away were anything by Petula Clark, "This Diamond Ring" (Gary Lewis & the Playboys) and the Box Tops' "Neon Rainbow."  I mainly had a thing for musicals and soundtracks (movies and TV) and still do, I guess.

Songs that make me cry?  I'm not so sure.  I'll have to think on that while I read the posts.

Heidy-Ho Kerry.

I must be off to the post office & Sherlock's class.

Sarah I'll have to catch up with you later.  

And on that note, I'm leaving the office.

I'm so confused about this stuff.  I want a HD TV but I don't know what is best.  I like the idea of a flat panel but I'm told they get screen burn.

The LCD that you're looking at is a "regular" LCD, DR Danise. No problem with screen burn-in with LCDs. Only older plasmas need worry about that, and even those worries are minimal. Don't worry about the term "rear projection" on that product description. The Sony Bravia line is their regular LCD platform.

This is a lot of set for the money, but you need to consider if the room you're going to put it in is dark or bright, what signals you're going to feed it, etc. Do you have digital cable, satellite dish, regular cable, or just rabbit ears? What kind of DVD player do you have (i.e. what kind of cables to you use to go to your current set)? How far away are you going to sit from the TV?

All of these questions are important to consider when buying a new HDTV because what you're looking at might be more than you need. You could save $1000 by buying a set with a slightly lower resolution that's still HDTV but more suited to your needs depending on how much you'll use it, what kind of room it's going into, and what equipment you're going to use with it.

I forgot to welcom DaNeice to our wonderful forum/board!!!

It's never too late.....

I watched the three featurettes on WITH A SONG IN MY HEART and enjoyed them even with Dr. Drew Casper's participation. Sue me. He makes me laugh with his earnestness. (You're right; Miles Krueger could AT LEAST comb his hair before appearing on camera. He looked as if he had just gotten out of bed.)

Drew Casper does not make me laugh.  He makes me want to vomit on the ground.  He is the poster child for not having facial surgery.

As to Miles, I'm afraid that is his "look."

Glad Jose made it back safe and sound.  Now, get those invoices PAID.  I guess not everyone is as quick as I

I am quite hungry, though.

Next, I just HAD to revisit those climactic scenes of this past weekend's TORCHWOOD to see the culmination of that beautiful love story. Too bad that couldn't have been expplored in multiple episodes.
