    The Dreaded Dennis Semler

    Property (and with it, property tax) is totally inflated right now. I think it will have to come down for it to start selling again.

    Oriental/Irish hair

    I like KMS hairspray. It held up during the hot summer we just had, where the Aussie failed me.

    Gilbey, may I suggest setting up a savings account especially for regular but infrequent expenses and have your bank make automatic deposits to it every month. You'll never be caught short.

    Oriental/Irish hair

    Your hair sounds like mine, even though I'm not Asian or Irish. Your problem might be the volume of hair or the cut. If you near Littleton, I can give you the name of my hairstylist--she does a great job, and I get a lot of compliments on my hair. It might also be your hair products. A...

    Real Time Capsules

    Libraries may have microfiche or digital copies of old newspapers, but people don't go look at them for amusement. When I found old newspapers from the 1920s in my basement, I found them very interesting. Houses were selling for $2000 and a lot of people wanted to hire a "white girl" or "white man."

    Is it The End Of Newspapers?

    Some large families take multiple copies of the newspaper for multiple coupons. And there actually are Internet services that check and keep track of what's on sale, and if there is a coupon for it. The Grocery Game is one such site.

    Put in some seeds. Petunias, California poppies and sunflowers are popular and easy to grow.

    Real Time Capsules

    Put in a newspaper. In 100 years, people will ooh and ahh and wonder what it is. They might even read it!

    Christmas presents: Take the handmade pledge!

    I don't have the book at work, and I don't have Internet access at home. You can probably find the recipe in a canning/pickling book or website. Now that I think about it, the apple rings aren't entirely handmade. I use a machine to peel, core and cut the apples. :D

    I see that Rupert Murdoch is planning to end the fees for the WSJ online in hopes of attracting more advertising.

    Christmas presents: Take the handmade pledge!

    I have mixed feelings about handmade gifts. On the one hand, people love the spiced apple rings I make--and they're inexpensive to make. On the other hand, I'd rather have a machine-made thing I can use than a handmade thing I that I can't.

    Is it The End Of Newspapers?

    I didn't know they started taking ads. They had been proud of the fact that they could make fun of anyone they wanted to.

    You must be a fan of MAD Magazine (or maybe not). :)

    The Importance of Clothing: the View of a Rabbi

    I saw this on Jewish World Review and thought some of you might be interested. An excerpt: The influence of clothing on a person cannot be underestimated. Clothes don't only "make the man" in the eyes of others — they define the person in his own eyes, and create his self-perspective. A...

    Is it The End Of Newspapers?

    I get the WSJ online. It's much cheaper than the print version, and it's great for financial research. I get the Denver Post for the TV guide and coupons. The rest of the paper is used as mulch. Trying to read the Post after the WSJ is like trying to watch Wynona Rider after Bette Davis.

    In USA - Antibiotic-resistant Staph Outbreak -

    Might be a good idea to seal any cuts with skin glue (it's sold alongside bandaids) and avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.

    Well, it's over.

    Even if his wife is disturbed, it doesn't mean she wasn't assaulted. "Innocent until proven guilty" is a legal concept, not a way to run a family. Child abuse frequently happens at the hands of the mother's boyfriend, and an accused rapist with a psychotic wife is, to my mind, a prime candidate...
