    Adventures of Tintin worth seeing with kids?

    It is an entertaining movie. Don't spend the extra money on the 3D version though. My 10 year old enjoyed it alot.

    Proposal question

    The steps of the Lincoln Memorial have the plaque where MLK stood for the "I have a dream" speech. May be a great place to tell her about your future dreams with her.

    A/C Freon charges

    3lbs put in with a 25 mile drive to the house cost me $116. It had been awhile since anyone had looked at it. I didn't think that was too bad.

    Anyone had a root canal lately?

    I had one a few months ago, and it did hurt less when it was done than before they performed it so that was a good thing. Unfortunately about 2 weeks later it was hurting very bad and I went back and they had to do it again because an abcess had formed in the root area. They said it is rare, but...

    Eustacy discussion on DP show

    Well, I may be wrong here, but I don't believe that LE was out drinking with legal aged adults as many of you are trying to claim. I agree that he had a drinking problem and should have been allowed to get help. But from what I have been told, he wouldn't admit to a drinking problem at the time...

    Eustacy discussion on DP show

    I see the two as being somewhat different. Although I like LE as a coach, I see what he did as worse then the affair that Pitino had. I don't want our coach out drinking with the coeds at other campuses.

    Am I being a bad neighbor

    I am guessing that they figure nobody would be going to bed at 9:00 pm and having the kids run around outside is better than in the house. Let them know your sleeping habits and if they are decent people that should help.

    Let's not BOOO Army

    My son played hockey at West Point for a couple of years, treat them like any other team. They like to live in the real world and get away from all the military stuff for a few hours. With the schedules they have to keep when they are at West Point, all the booing in the world isn't going to...

    Need A Camera!!!

    I think the Kodak digitals are about as easy to use as any of them. I would rate them as an average camera though that has easy to use software. My wife wants to just point and shoot and she loves her Kodak.

    Elligability Rules

    I believe the ruling is that you must be making adequate progess toward an undergraduate degree. If you already have the degree, all you need to be is enrolled in the school. Heck it is saving money for the program that he isn't taking 4 graduate level classes.

    Landscaping help

    Hostas will be affected by slugs somtimes and they can do a number on the leaves. Put some beer in a shallow plate and that can help control the slugs if they are the reason.

    Dickie V Struggles

    I can't believe that people would be bothered about a preseason guess as to what type year Brackins is going to have. I can understand people discussing post season awards but why get upset over being looked at for ANY preseason award. Any press before the season starts is a good thing for ISU...

    Job offer in Billings, MT...some advice?

    My son lived out there for 3 years to play hockey. He actually liked the community alot. Friendly blue collar people, very country western. Not as nice looking as some of the Western cities as it is pretty industrial.

    Duncan/Criner/Walden era NCAA football infractions

    I will never say that Walden was a great coach, I just think Criner was the worst thing to ever happen to ISU football. Walden did get plenty of years due to the problems he inherited. He just didn't make a turnaround happen. But I still do feel a little sorry for him.

    Duncan/Criner/Walden era NCAA football infractions

    I don't think it was just the penalty that was the problem. Criner had brought in a large number of JUCO recruits that when added to the previous classes of Juniors caused us to loose around 40 players in 1 year. There were also a number of defections from the younger kids in the coaching change...

    The Twins better find a way to improve or there will be alot of unhappy people now that they have built the new stadium. I could see them trying to get in some players to try to be successful for the 2010 season.

    Any Ragbrai Tips?

    If there is a group of you riding together, have a predetermined spot that you will always meet up at the various towns. Ours was always the 1st bar on the left side of the road. Our support vehicle always would meet us there and sometimes someone would decide to quit riding for whatever reason...
