  1. Nope. It's never been an issue for me, since I use it as soon as I get it.
  2. Hey folks, Here's the latest free mp3 $2 credit from amazon.com. As before, you have to go to a page selling an mp3. Under the "buy" or "give as a gift" buttons, you'll see a "$" and the words "redeem a gift card or promotion code & view balance". Click on this, then enter the following code in the appropriate space: FALLMP3S Enjoy!
  3. one more 'stache, and a good one!
  4. Not to be a stickler, but does the game permit a cover to be used twice (or more)?
  5. True, but I don't think it hurts. Btw, hot sauce ain't the same thing as ketchup.
  6. I shouldn't have to point out the match.
  7. How the heck can you appreciate good sound with those damn kids running and jumping around the room?
  8. I'm glad some people here really "get off" on this band. Although I enjoy similar kinds of music, they still sound like a Uriah Heap of shit to me.
  9. It's interesting to note that all the solutions offered thus far focus on exterminating the mice in the house, rather than identifying how they got in there in the first place. How Mickey managed to get inside the bread drawer is another (rather unsavory) matter altogether. Since mice are mice and you've lived in that house for some years now, the fact that this is a fairly recent problem suggests there is a fairly new entrance into Casa de Bresnahan. I recommend locating and sealing it (or them), and you probably won't have to worry about how to kill the mice. One more thing: a properly baited spring-loaded trap is more humane than a glue trap. Consider this: A 1983 test that evaluated the effectiveness of glue traps found that trapped mice struggling to free themselves would pull out their own hair, exposing bare, raw areas of skin. The mice broke or even bit off their own legs, and the glue caused their eyes to become badly irritated and scarred. After three to five hours in the glue traps, the mice defecated and urinated heavily because of their severe stress and fear, and quickly became covered with their own excrement. Animals whose faces become stuck in the glue slowly suffocate, and all trapped animals are subject to starvation and dehydration. It takes anywhere from three to five days for the mouse to finally die. This is nothing less than torture.
  10. "Driggs produced numerous recordings, including Columbia Records’ ”Robert Johnson: The Complete Recordings.” He received a Grammy for it in 1991." Quite a feat given that he was 8 years-old when the original recordings were made. They were produced by Don Law (I worked with Law's son, Don Jr., in the 1980s.)
  11. Is your dvd player connected to the same speakers as your cd player (or can it be?)? If the answer is "yes", why not use it for playing your cds? Thanks for suggesting this. I did it today and the skipping problem is solved. I think I'd like to upgrade my cd player, but now I can take my time picking the one I want now that the immediate problem has been solved. I don't know how old your dvd player is, but if it's not a blu-ray unit with built-in network capability, you might consider upgrading to one unit that serves all your needs. Less money, less space, very good sound.

  13. If you don't have any money to spend, that's one thing. Otherwise, don't you think you deserve a new player after 9+ years?
  14. scat: n. Jazz singing in which improvised, meaningless syllables are sung to a melody. To sing scat. scat: n. Excrement, especially of an animal; dung. I've always wondered about the possible connection between these two definitions. So far, all I've come up with is that perhaps the first attempts at scat singing sounded like . . . well, shit.
  15. Doesn't look like they do, which is a drag. I bought "in quantity" a few years ago and am needing to reorder. But I guess not from them... I'm also a long-time Bags Unlimited customer.

  16. And then there's this little number: I love this series.
  17. I assume you mean "net income" rather than capital gains, since we're not talking about investments here. Anyone who does receive a 1099 is considered an independent contractor or single person small business. You can list expenditures related to the "business", and sometimes your net income could be $0 or less. One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that in addition to any income tax owed, the individual is also going to have to pay social security taxes. Of course, they can also reduce their taxable income by contributing to a SEP retirement account. Never too early to start preparing for eventual decrepitude!
  18. It is not a scam (although I expect phishers will eventually pick up on this and, posing as PayPal, try to get people's financial information). From PayPal's website: What is Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 6050W? Under the new legislation, we’ll report to the IRS the total payment volume received by US account holders whose payments exceed both of these levels in a calendar year: $20,000 USD in gross payment volume from sales of goods or services in a single year 200 payments for goods or services in the same year The IRS changes apply to all payment providers, including PayPal and include all sales that occur on or after January 1, 2011, with the first reports going to the IRS in early 2012. Our goal is to help PayPal sellers understand and comply with the new requirements. Before your payment volume exceeds the reporting thresholds, you’ll be asked to add your tax ID number, such as a Social Security Number (SSN) or Employer Identification Number (EIN), to your existing account(s), if you don’t already have one on file. Undoubtedly, many people won't like this action (signed into law 2008), but obviously there's been a lot of undeclared income that rightfully should be taxed.
  19. That's unfortunate. The political and religious powers that be rely on some people's discomfort and other people's ignorance to continue to exert influence and control according to their own personal and financial interests, rather than the interests of the people.
