    Media Name Changes

    Heard a rumor about some media name changes. CNN is changing their name to WTP (where's the plane?), and CNBC is changing their name to AAATT (all Apple, all the time). Anybody heard of any others?:rolleyes:

    What happened to my baking soda?

    Started keeping a glass of baking soda (Arm & Hammer) next to the toothpaste in the bathroom about 20 years ago (must have been ahead of my time, since I see a lot of toothpastes for sale have baking soda), and mix the 2 when brushing. The baking soda was always the consistency of flour, kind of...

    Don't like my new doorknob.

    Front door doorknob wore out last fall. Bought a replacement and installed it. All my other doorknobs (all have the twist-lock in the center of the knob, as does the new one), when you lock it the knob won't turn on the outside (as expected) or on the inside either--that way you know it's...

    Dummy on DVD rental

    Have rented a couple of DVD's from Redbox. Went Saturday to show the wife how to use it; wanted to get 'Solitary Man'. About half-way through, screen pops up and says movie is a blue-ray version, and that you had to have a blue-ray dvd player to view it. I thought this stuff was backwards...

    Another Part-Time Job Idea

    Tough week at the dentist--wife needed one crown replaced, I needed two (Bye-Bye to most of that extra money I've saved back this year). Dental assistant asks wife if she wants the gold back, wife says yes. When I go she asks me the same thing--I say yes but with the cost of gas and the time...

    Really, really stupid computer question

    O.K.--I'm smart enough to get on this site, and I was smart enough to order and replace my power supply when my computer blew up from a power surge (blew right through the surge protector). What I don't know how to do is: draw a line through a word without erasing it like I've seen numerous...

    What happened to my Cherry Tree?

    Have 2 dwarf cherry trees, about 15+ years old, each about 10' tall, 15 feet apart. Usually have cherries every year depending on the late frosts. This year--mucho cherries on both trees. About a month after we'd harvested all the cherries (end of June), the leaves on one of the trees all turned...

    Lou Dobbs's Smile

    Does anybody watch him on CNN? He was off a couple of weeks (heard a rumor it was for tonsilitis); watched him last night, and his smile looks perfect and his teeth look bigger (like he had them all capped). Know this is a silly-a$$ed question, but does anybody know what's up?

    Let's rip on Suze!

    Watched Suze Orman on Larry King last night. She said something about being able to convert a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA in 2010. Anybody know anything about this? Can you do it without paying taxes, etc.? They also showed an old blurb of hers about if you put away $100 a month from age 25 to...

    New Computer Monitor settings

    Old computer (1993 Compaq) that my son-in-law refurbished for me died (hard-drive--blue screen of death)--got 4 years out of it. Son-in-law helped me order a new one off the net. Monitor is a 17" LCD. Computer keeps prompting me to change settings to 1440x900 for best resolution. If I do that...

    Why are my electronic clocks slow?

    I have a 6-yr old 31" GE regular TV with remote and the internal clock on it loses 2-3 minutes a month. My year old combo DVD/recorder/player/VCR has an internal clock that just started losing 3-4 minutes a month. My 7-yr old refubished computer has an internal clock that loses 1-2 minutes a...
