    Car Rental place, can they do this?

    Tony, tell your friend to contact her insurance company IMMEDIATELY, if not sooner, to report this. If this guy calls again, tell her to give him her insurance agent's number. I am with the majority of the others here, this sounds fishy.

    Back issues of a mag that doesn't exist anymore?

    Other sources to consider would be Amazon.com - though it might be a little tricky, and Alibris.com. Also, if you have any other issues of the magazine, you could check and see if the publisher has a website you can check out. Sometimes (not always) pusblishing sites sell back issues of their...

    My top 5 pet peeves of the moment

    1. Movie Commercial programs - the Tw20enty or however the hell it is spelled, and AMC's similar program. Not only are you being assailed with trivia about movies you might not be interested in seeing, you are also being assailed with COMMERCIALS about TV shows. Give it a rest! Then, to add...

    Why am I such a cheapo sometimes?...

    I like to bargain hunt, plain and simple. Of course, as Mark wisely pointed out with the gasoline story above, there are times when a "bargain" just isn't worth your time. For myself, I like to get SOME sort of idea how much a DVD will cost during its first week of release. Since the studios...

    Have you ever been so upset by?....

    Count yourselves fortunate that none of you were within about a mile of my place when my brother found out Dark Angel was cancelled! I agree, wholeheartedly with the cliffhanger complaint. Either give the producers enough time to come to SOME sort of conclusion or give it another half season...

    Joseph Barbera (1911-2006) RIP

    RIP Mr. Barbera. There are SO many things the cartoons you and Mr. Hannah created that were a real source of joy for me! When facing a confusing situation, I still remember, (though I haven't seen the 'toons in such a long time!) the line from the Quick Draw McGraw cartoon about being...

    How Much Do You Know About the World?

    Missed the question about CSI and the percentage of population growth due to immigration. Other than that, 18/20

    Photos of bottomless Britney

    Having followed the links and seen those pictures (unpleasant twitch!) all I can say is, anyone who believe those are accidental beaver shots is, in the words of Carlos Mencia: "Dee dee dee!"

    Herniated Discs:Who's had 'em?

    Oh, yeah, put me on the list for this one. I have had not one, but TWO herniated disks. The first one came about in 1996 because I slipped on a slug on a steep driveway. The lower back tightness, and the inevitable pain down the back of my left leg was pretty awful. Fortunately, my doctor...

    MythBusters and HTF...

    Okay, I am hoping someone can help me with my dirty mind on the tree needles experiment. Kari's face was clashing with her hair when she was talking about "Santa's Little Helper" or "Daddy's Little Helper" or "Mommy's little helper." The little blue pill, was that a Viagra or other such pill?

    Guests cannot watch DVDs with you, says MPAA head

    Jesse, do you have a link to that story? I haven't spewed on my screen in a while... :)

    Superman returns amazon download?

    I'd avoid it like the plague, Neil, unless you ask someone with Amazon if this is a legit download. And be prepared for a nonsensical form e mail in response. I found this out when I saw a link for a download for Bourne Supremacy - two days after the film opened in 2004.

    I got hit by a car

    First of all, glad to know that everyone here who has had a close encounter with a car is all right. It scares me to try to go anywhere these days (in a wheelchair) because there are some pretty careless types behind the wheel who would not notice something if it was glued to their inner...

    Black Friday Shopping: What'd you do today?

    I, myself, learned a lesson a long time ago, NEVER go to any store announcing its first "Christmas sale of the season." Reading Dave's original post, about the guy in front of him with the problems paying for his item... Have any of you seen that new Visa commercial, where the guy paying with...
