I live near Vancouver, BC, which will host the coming winter olympics and I've noticed that McDonald's has been promoting itself as the "official restaurant of the 2010 Winter Olympics". I refuse *stamp foot* refuse to think of McD's as a "restaurant". If I take my wife on a date night and...

I'm really interested in reading comments on this. It sounds like this internationalizing of the internet is a good step, overall. Although, I'm with Rachel Maddow on this - I'm a little confused, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOZSuoxf2jo I love that her internet geek is an...

I have often wondered about this. I grew up in the NE US and I'm now living in Western Canada. I say that because I wondered if it was a more regional issue. Do you clean up after yourself when eating in a fast food establishment or in a mall's food court? Do you take your tray to the...

I don't have a green thumb, but my wonderful wife does. She loves to garden, but with work has cut down a bit. We only have tomatoes and potatoes now. I am sooo enjoying the tomatoes right now. I really don't enjoy a BLT as much as I do when it is right from the garden. The tomatoes are...

High school math teacher invovled with US defense program Probably not a surprise to many, but I was interested in hearing some reactions to this story. I am an elementary school teacher myself, so any talk on education is interesting to me. I've always wondered what can be done to improve...

I'm working my way very slowly through TOS. I've finished the first season and am about finished the second. I've never taken the time to make myself go through every episode in order and am enjoying things I've forgotten about and have never noticed before. I'm really enjoying the addition of...

It has just completed its six year run on CTV here in Canada and was created by stand up comedian Brent Butt. I know it has been syndicated in some US markets, too. I'm a huge fan of this show. I even went on the tour of the sets in Rouleau and Regina, SK a few summers ago. I loved getting to...

My daughter, who loves to read and write is very curious about the concept of irony. We've given her some examples, but we're getting kind of stumped and she's still wanting more. So, I thought that there are some better writers than I am here, so what ideas do you have? How would you...

...who doesn't own a cell phone? I've never gotten around to getting it, because I don't really have a need for it. My wife doesn't have one, either - it just doesn't seem to be a priority. I do have issues with how they are used (in driving, especially - I've been almost hit quite a few...

I live in BC, Canada and there's a bit of a debate about whether or not to ban plastic shopping bags. Then there's a new study that says the reusable bags can carry harmful bacteria, etc. if not washed. I'm not sure if plastic bags are all that bad, considering everything else we do, i.e...

I'm am an addict. I must admit it openly and publicly. When I see a thread has been closed I MUST READ IT COMPLETELY. I cannot control myself. I must see what weird behavior resulted in the closing of the thread. I feel that this is a new disease. Should I consider a 12 step progam? How...

I'm working my way through TOS again. Just started and am watching them in the DVD order, which is the order they were aired. I had forgotten how impressive The Naked Time was, especially as a way of getting to know the characters close to the beginning of the series. The brilliance of the...

I was poking in the nuTrek forum and came across a thread mentioning RE's latest "Answer Man" that is all about nuTrek: http://www.trekbbs.com/showthread.php?t=93313 I then thought, as I was inspired by the rottentomatoes thread in this forum, it would be interesting to look at how he has...

I just saw the movie yesterday and I did found it entertaining and "hip", but I do have reservations. I do this because I'm interested in what some think about my ideas here. I do not believe a disagreement with the majority needs to cause a "rift" in the ST community. Some don't like DS9 or...
