redyellowblackdog @redyellowblackdog (10629) • United States 28 May 07

What is a review of a work of fiction doing in the Science interests section? Well, this is a work of fiction with a lot of real science in it. Michael Crichton has really done his homework on global warming. Through out the...

The_Eagle_1 Good day red....seeing as how you think it's worth it ....I may as well do it too. There are many things that start as fiction and end up as reality or at least requiring a reality check!! Hahaha....hope you are all well out your way.

Crosswords....do you do them?

caramello @caramello (4377) • Australia 6 Jun 08

I have a habit of starting them and get on a role and all the easy ones are done. Then it comes to the harder ones and if I took some time and thought more I could get more words worked out! But...

Petro/Gas prices and results of how high they are!

caramello @caramello (4377) • Australia 2 Jun 08

It appears the cost of fuel these days is resulting in more and more "drive offs" where some are not paying. Some are even stooping to remove someones' number plate to use if they do drive off. My son had his taken and was advised...

The_Eagle_1 I take it you did mean $1.59 a litre earlier caramello, and yes, it is a rip-off!! Consider that GMH allegedly shreaded the design for a "Hydro" engine in the 80's, solely for $$$$ reasons, or we could have filled up from the nearest tap. But then with the...

Charities.....do you have a particular one?

caramello @caramello (4377) • Australia 2 Jun 08

Yes one could say "charity begins at home!" but if you do support a charity which one is it? The main charity I support and have for many years even back in my "poor" days as a single Mum, and that is our Animal Welfare centre and...

The_Eagle_1 Animal Welfare is great, all the things they do do for the animals that "Humans" don't take the responsibility for is fantastic. The Deaf & Blind associations also do endless work for the not so lucky in our eyes, especially the young ones with an affliction.

The Media and how far they will go!!!!

caramello @caramello (4377) • Australia 29 May 08

Does it play with ones mind if we read or hear of something involving a person, a couple or child and then to find out it is untrue. This being so as to maybe sell that extra magazine or newspaper and all in the name of money...

The_Eagle_1 carsmello, "The Media" have so much to answer for in the portrayal of "every day" events. Not only as you point out, "False", but also exagerated and highly manipulated. I believe this sells as there are many people looking for situations worse than there own...

Food cravings around 3.30-4pm. daily!

caramello @caramello (4377) • Australia 30 May 08
