  1. My friend discovered that antlers (which can be found at many pet stores) last FAR longer than bones or toys. Just a thought! ?
  2. Do yourself a MAJOR favor Ed and confirm that all of your backups truly exist! I used Carbonite since they started and only recently found that many of my very desired files are gone forever. Carbonite caps the up and down speeds tremendously so it never caught up! All it did was create the folders and put one of the smaller files in it (like a text file). I lost terabytes of irreplaceable important files... This is why I use Backblaze now.
  3. My friend moved to Florida a few months ago. 102 degrees F in early Spring, High humidity. Lightning storms almost everyday plus the bugs and reptiles are of Jurassic Park proportions! Sorry, no thanks! Heck, I get too warm and start sweating when it hits 72 degrees F!
  4. I believe this has already happened in Washington D. C. ?
  5. Which is still much better than quitting like John! ?
  6. Now be nice guys! Remember, he's a bass player. ?
  7. *Prepares for the inevitable replies by Sheens and Kenny!* ? ? As for myself, I don't know of anything rhythm related other than what you get with Lumosity (which I used to use), but I definitely do a few games daily to keep the mind sharp. My main games are Wordscapes (I play in their weekend tournaments and, out of the 100 players in my group, I've now won 28 of the last 30 weeks - with two 2nd's to cheaters - and am well on my way to another win today!?); Sudoku Killer (actually a Sudoku variant called Killer Sudoku), Freecell (a solitaire card game - 14,269 wins with 0 losses!); Match Pair 3D (where you have to match objects quickly that are all piled together); Find the Difference (given two pictures, side-by-side, find what's different between them); Woodoku (a combination of Tetris shapes put into a Sudoku board); Connect Me (where you need to spin and/or move pieces until they fit together correctly); Memo Match (where you need to match two hidden objects quickly); and June's Journey (a hidden object game where you need to quickly find things). Most of mine are aimed at keeping my memory, logic and pattern matching sharp. It's definitely working and has helped tremendously!
  8. The movies would have probably been a better approach for me. I would have said "Ok, you got it!" and headed off to the pub to play darts with my friends. ?
  9. These two weren't as good as the others. ?
  10. That one should have been shorter or cut altogether Bob. ?
  11. I work for a guy named Pedro, I'll ask him! (When we load to do pressure washing we already call the three hoses: Jose, Hose B and Hose C. ? )
  12. Apparently, I neglected to hit Submit and my entry of the Talking Heads Take Me To The River went to Pwalpwal. Continuing on!
  13. Hey Bub, as someone who got put into that position a couple of times, try this simple exercise: Every morning, as soon as you wake up, say this sentence to yourself (one or more times): Great things are coming my way! I can explain later why it works, but it won't cost you anything so give it a shot! To help you remember, you can tape it to your bathroom mirror (or whatever you are most likely to see right after you wake up). I have it both as a note in my wallet as well as the image on my computer lock screen (one of the first things I do after I wake up is to turn my computer monitor on and there it is!). I know of others it has worked for, but it also worked for me! ? It can't hurt, so give it a try!
  14. My math teacher called my friend average, but I think she was just being mean...
