    Who Does Without TV?

    They say that kids who watch little or no TV tend to do better in school. Maybe there's more to that than simply having more time for homework.

    The Art of being happy.

    Better Living through Philosophy May I suggest The Consolations of Philosophy by Alain de Botton (not to be confused with The Consolation of Philosophy by Boetheus). Part of the review from Publishers Weekly: In clear, witty prose, de Botton (who directs the graduate philosophy program...

    Dieting practices of women in the 1950s & '40s?

    Comments I don't have weight issues, but I generally don't like comments on my appearance, either. Somebody once asked me to dance, saying, "You're too pretty to sit there alone." I guess if I weren't pretty, I'd deserve to be ignored. :(

    Dieting practices of women in the 1950s & '40s?

    Body for Life Those who want to gain or lose weight might be interested in Body for Life. Basically, it's a balance of protein, carbohydrates and vegetables and an exercise plan of three weight training workouts and three cardio workouts per week. (It's about 3.5 hours of workouts per week.)...

    Nutty Neighbors

    That's nothing. In certain historical parts of Denver, you can't replace your old garage, designed to house a Model T, with one you can park your SUV in. This, in neighborhoods where you can drive for blocks looking for a place to park. In Greenwood Village, Colorado, HOAs have been known to...

    Thrift/Pass Out Now/Credit

    Puerto Rico is part of the United States. Regardless, I think I'd rather use travelers' checks than check in with my credit card company if I were traveling.

    Thrift/Pass Out Now/Credit

    Vigilance required I don't think you can rent a hotel room or rent a car without a credit card. And I don't see how you can make internet purchases without one. There are also different laws that apply to credit cards vs. debit cards. As I understand it, if your credit card is stolen, you are...

    Who Does Without TV?

    For me, DVDs and books on CD have replaced the TV. I can watch or listen to whatever I want to at my convenience and without commercials.

    Who Does Without TV?

    I live at the edge of Tornado Alley. To check the weather, I visit wunderground.com. listen to the radio. am close enough to Denver to hear their sirens. go outside and look.

    State laws

    That can happen anywhere. It's best to just say no thanks or that you aren't interested. I think there are some threads in the Steamer Trunk section about different places in the U.S.

    State laws

    I didn't think you'd be thrilled at the idea of going to Utah. ;) Kidding aside, laws about drinking and smoking can vary from city to city. Closing times are just local custom in some places.

    State laws

    Why don't you go to Utah where you can't do anything but take a break from smoking, drinking and getting high? They have skiing, mountains, deserts, white water rafting, fishing, Dinosaur National Monument, Anasazi (Native American) ruins, and so on. And if you get bored with all that, Nevada is...

    Vintage Phones

    My cordless phone sounds fine. [huh]

    Who Does Without TV?

    That sounds like my father. I don't think he's ever sat through a whole football game (is there a slower-moving sport?). He rarely likes movies and can't stand most shows, except for Sherlock Holmes with Jeremy Brett. You say ADD, I say "would rather be doing something."

    Vintage Phones

    I use an old phone with a wooden case. People often asks me if it works. Why would I keep a non-working phone on the wall?

    Ladies of the lounge and their mothers/grandmothers

    It looks like we might have the same stubborn disposition, too. Some of the ladies here look almost exactly like their ancestors--even if they think they don't!

    Ladies of the lounge and their mothers/grandmothers

    My great great grandmother, Christina Miller. Somewhat pre-Golden Era.

    8 Track

    This is one reason I'm not a collector. If I wanted a complete set of something (like every Cheap Trick album in every original format), I'd have to buy a lot of stuff I don't want and can't use (like a new 8-track tape at $30 and LP).

    8 Track

    This listener doesn't even have an 8-track player.
