The True Story of 7 Strangers…and You

Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 05/06/2008
Hard to believe it's still on. Harder to believe that it really seems to have changed television. Wow. And yes, I was watching it in season one. While hiding from my friends because I was (and still am) embarrassed to admit I watched it. (see comment)

To those saying that it's no big deal, just ask for it, think about it this way. Before the change in the law you were free to buy pseudoephedrine in bulk the same way you can buy ibuprofen. I used to buy a one year's supply in a large, inexpensive bott … (see comment)

Nation's Toughest Smoking Ban

Comment in News (3 diggs, 0 replies) - on 11/21/2006
I would have no problem with an apartment building choosing to ban smoking. As a matter of fact, that's a great marketing plan. Let the apartment building next door advertise that they love smokers; then the free market will decide which is better. A n … (see comment)

Nation's Toughest Smoking Ban

Comment in News (8 diggs, 0 replies) - on 11/21/2006
@ banderbe I just responded to your challenge. The fact is that Democrats and Republicans love to control your life, regardless of their ideology, especially if it will get them votes. While you and I probably agree on a lot of things, ad hominem att … (see comment)

Nation's Toughest Smoking Ban

Comment in News (12 diggs, 0 replies) - on 11/21/2006
If I open a business, clearly mark it as a smoke-friendly business, and tell potential employees that they'll be working in a smoke-filled environment, whose rights am I violating? Who am I forcing to inhale second-hand smoke? Banning smoking not only … (see comment)

Nation's Toughest Smoking Ban

Comment in News (2 diggs, 3 replies) - on 11/21/2006
@ banderbe The first or second session after the GOP gained control of both houses and the governor's office in Georgia my state passed a new law banning smoking in public buildings. The only exceptions are bars (no one under 21 allowed) and cigar sho … (see comment)

Comment in News (0 diggs, 0 replies) - on 11/02/2006
From an investment perspective, the list is correct. Historically stocks are the superior investment. However, there are times where purchasing treasury bonds may be the best savings option. If the rates are right, I-bonds are a great savings option. … (see comment)

102 Personal Finance Tips Your Professor Never Taught You

Comment in News (4 diggs, 0 replies) - on 11/02/2006
The whole point of these tips is to help you NOT live from paycheck to paycheck. Yes, this means you'll either rent longer or buy a smaller home, but in doing so you'll be able to first get out of credit card debt and then start putting that 3 months' wo … (see comment)

Pop vs. Coke vs. Soda: A map of what U.S. residents call soft drink

Comment in News (-1 diggs, 0 replies) - on 08/01/2006
You're obviously from Alabama! It's a sad thing that here in ATL we have to specify what kind of tea we want, much less that there are places which only carry the unsweetened stuff! And anyone who says you can make iced tea sweet by putting sugar in i … (see comment)

Pop vs. Coke vs. Soda: A map of what U.S. residents call soft drink

Comment in News (-1 diggs, 1 reply) - on 08/01/2006
It's pretty well documented that here in Atlanta, everything is a Coke. I think the "we only serve Pepsi" thing was somewhat pushed by both companies. Pepsi wanted to increase its brand awareness while Coke needed to protect its trademark. Like Jeep, X … (see comment)

This is a great site. Thanks. I wonder how long it will be allowed to keep all of these clips. I know the King family has tried to restrict the redistribution Dr. King's "I Have A Dream" speech, claiming copyright and royalties. Perhaps that's why they … (see comment)

Vonage 911 caller put on hold while house burns down.

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 03/23/2006
For those who have gone back and forth concerning availability of 911 service if you disconnect your landline, here's my understanding as a former engineer for one of the RBOC's. There is no requirement for the telephone company to connect a line to yo … (see comment)
