    It's relatively warm right now where we are. So guess we should thank global warming, hahaha.

    Hahaha...... Man, politicians are getting petty. Remember when they said that Obama said Americans are lazy? They always like to take things at face value out of context, hahaha.

    Don't get mad; get even. Just do their own exploration.

    Hahaha, I've been in places where there's so much snow buildup throughout the season, that you can walk on snow pile-up from the sidewalk up to the roof of a 2-floor house!

    This should be a warning to companies (pretty much all of 'em) that over-advertise but severely under-deliver. A little more truth in advertising. Don't over-sell the product so much unless it can walk the walk.

    The term often used is "best buy" - what Consumer Reports qualify as the best balance between quality and price, a.k.a. the most bang for your buck.

    Only Russia deals with Syria. China doesn't care; they'll just abstain, since China does not have any dealings with Syria, like China didn't have any dealings with Libya nor was it with the Libyan people who now rule there.

    Used to live at lake-effect snow. Even did snow-shoveling to raise funds for the club. Thank goodness for snow-blowers!

    Stay in touch with SKYPE live.

    Skype's limitation is both or all parties have to be online at the same time, thus have to coordinate schedules, rather than receiving the package at their time of choosing.

    Women softball players shriek too every time they swing their heavier bats................ Oh wait, they don't.

    Girl's coaches are partially to blame. Boy's coaches actually discourage this. So if coaches train them to dial it down as they're learning the sport, the players do learn not to do it so loud.

    Happens to any business that doesn't innovate with the times. Just look at Sony. They had the Walkman and later the Discman. They thought they could keep it going like that, but consumers are using digital players instead. Now Sony has nothing in that area.

    Mom gets migraine headaches if the drink is too cold, so she always asks for no ice. Never been to a restaurant where that's a problem - they always fill up despite the lack of ice. A little monetary loss for a greater customer satisfaction is also part of good service. Any restaurant who would be so cheap as to deny that would not have our business - and expectedly many other people's business too.

    Furthermore, any restaurant that puts so much ice in the cup (unless requested by the customer) that it's the difference between an L-size cup and an M-size cup is also cheaping out the customers - by advertising a sized cup but stuffing it with cheap ice instead of the drink. It's considered an underhanded way to save a buck. It's better just to have self-serve free refills - put as much whatever ya want, how often ya want.

    Twitter is good for business. It's basically a push-notification tool (remember "push" technology that didn't pan out before?). It lets your customers, who opt-in to follow your business, know what's up in a convenient way without them having to seek out the info. It's like inexpensive newsletters for the business, but unlike spam, customers have to opt-in and can always opt-out (they have total control, not the business).

    I know that Prohibition documentary. It was tied to the Women's Lib movement. The same people who voted for the Prohibition are the ones who violated it.
