Hello Barry. Welcome to AD. I was in the Navy and worked near the American Embassy many years ago. This was back when Adam Ant and Cindi Lauper were big news across the pond. :wave:

This sounds like a WONDERFUL plan. It should be available to everybody who wants it. That'll be the day! There are American families paying $503 a month for their coverage and it isn't as comprehensive. Why should it be limited to the fatcats in DC? Health Care for Congress, Low Cost...

Welcome to AD. Where in CO are you at? I worked at IBM Boulder many years ago.

RIP Patrick. My condolences to his friends and family. I can't believe it has been almost twenty years since Ghost came out.

freedom of speech and expression? yes smart idea? absolutely not

I agree with Reba and Yizuman on this. Why do death row inmates deserve more rights than their victims?

Helping young moms I was older than eight when I heard about the birds and the bees, but things have changed over the years. Here's something that was in the local paper recently. My reaction when I saw '11 year-old mother' was not something I'd repeat to my own mom. Kids grow up too fast...

They're asking cons to pay for their time in the can. Sounds good to me. It's better than giving them three hots and a cot for next to nothing. Having to pay for TP is a little rough though. :P ==================================== Do the crime, pay for the time, as in $90 a day By AP...

This is something that my brother sent me. I usually don't check receipts that closely, but I will now. Mods -- feel free to move this if it's in the wrong section. ================ It happened to me at Wal-Mart (Supercenter Store #1279, 10411 N Freeway 45, Houston , TX 77037 ) a month...

New Trek books I enoyed the book adaptation of the movie and now I'm seeing details about books with the new crew. Four are scheduled for next year. EXCLUSIVE: Pocket Books Announces 2010 Star Trek Books – Includes 4 ‘JJ-verse’ Novels | TrekMovie.com I heard that the next movie could be...

What heat wave? The weather here in South Texas can be best described as 'sweltering' or 'inferno'. This summer could be a record breaker. We've had 25 triple-digit days already and it's only July. For the 4th, we had a record high (103) and a record high low (78). That's the actual air...

Another Texan Hello Sally and welcome to AD. I'm in San Antonio and enjoying the heatwave. :laugh2: Here's a link for you. They used to be called Self-help for the Hard of Hearing. Hearing Loss Association of America There's an interpreter training program in Houston at North Harris...

I don't know why this pharmacist was arrested. He was defending his business after a robbery attempt. He would have never shot anyone if the kids had left him alone. It's certainly not first-degree murder. Oklahoma druggist arrested for killing holdup man - Yahoo! News Oklahoma druggist...

Trek book by Deaf author I picked up the latest Trek novel (Troublesome Minds) last night and have almost finished it. I was shocked to see the in the acknowledgements that Dave Galanter is on the staff at Gallaudet. He even has one group using sign language and telepathy to communicate. I want...

Good movie, better book I'm back..... for a few minutes anyway. I don't get online after work because I can't see straight. Walking outside for eight hours in 90+ degree heat will do that to a guy. Bought the book when it came out Tuesday and finished it last night. There's no connection to...

Best Trek movie? I just saw this on TV Guide's website. It ranks all the other Trek movies. I agree with the top five, but not some of the others. Star Trek Best Movies Pictures, Wrath of Khan Photos - Photo Gallery: What's the Best Star Trek Film?

I'm not going to give any huge details about the movie in this post. You'll just have to use some latinum and see it for yourselves. The last scene did give me goosebumps though. All the familiar characters are in place, then there's the classic fanfare and voiceover. I left the theater...

*** spoiler *** Hint: Pon Farr -- Once every seven years is highly illogical. I can't blame the guy. ;) I haven't bought the book yet. I heard that it has more details. The villian could have been more fleshed out and some background details could be from Trek X: Nemesis. It's been a few...

Trek is back!! I saw the movie tonight and liked it. Kahn and the whales were both better, but this is a strong foundation for the next two movies (2011, 2013). The movie's biggest difference is a romance between two characters from the original TV show. I won't say who for the others who...
