[OT] Torchwood by
Yowie
As lifelong fan of Dr Who, I've been very much enjoying the new Dr Who
series of hour long episodes. I thought Christopher Eccleston was a great
choice for the first season, added some anger and pathos to the Dr and
brought him into modern times, but I must admit I liek David Tennant's
Doctor...

[OT] Torchwood Season 3 by
Yowie
The first two episodes of Season 3 have been shown here on Pay TV. I think
myself lucky to have Pay TV. Its an absolute ripper of a story, best so far,
plus with Ianto and Rhys getting more air time. But the killer scene, for me
at least, was the Quarry scene. Phwoar!. Those of you who are John...

[OT] Tummy ache remedies? by
Monique Y. Mudama
So, after years on Depo, I decided to give my body a break and switch back to
the pill.
I've only been on it for a week, and my stomach is often upset, especially
when it's empty. It seems to be completely unrelated to when I actually take
the medicine.
There are more women here than in most of...

[OT] Turkey Tricks by
Pat
If you're like me, you like leftover turkey, but you don't like how dry it
gets, and all the gravy is long gone. What to do?
I take the unfinished carcass and put it back in the roaster, add 2-3 cups
of water, put the lid on and heat it up on top of the stove. The water makes
steam, which brings...

This video clip is off-topic, but funny. Two young boys who invented
wedgie-proof underwear give an on-camera demonstration of how it works (a
wedgie is a playground-bully's trick, where he pulls up hard on the back
of someone else's underwear, making it get uncomfortably tight in...

This will probably be as baffling to non-US residents as it is to
me, and possibly to many US residents as well.
Someone I know made reference to "the Mipple-Stipple area", which was
so weird sounding that I decided to google it. I got a few references,
but no explanation. I'm gathering from...

[OT] Update a/c purrs by
Mark Edwards
It appears that they have fixed the a/c in my little red car. It
cools down very quickly, and gets very cold when it runs. This is
better than when the original compressor worked, so I'm thinking we'll
be okay, if I can go more than two weeks on this repair (grin).
Yay, cold air!
