djr5899 This wasn't a bad beat, but just amazing bad luck. I went all-in in a tournament with pocket kings, and two others called....both of them had pocket aces!!! At first, I thought that might benefit me, since there were still two kings left in the deck and no...

Why is it some questions get 700 responses and some get 2 or none?

Zephory @Zephory (176) • United States 26 Dec 06

It is funny, you write out a half way decent article about some topic and your lucky if it generates one or two respones. If you write some silly half 2 word sentence that is bland you seem to get 700 hits? What is the logic...

djr5899 I think a lot of it has to do with the category you are posting in. There are certain categories that seem to generate more discussion than others, like MyLot, TV Shows, Music, etc. Sometimes having the right tags makes all the difference.

Why do they have a whistle on airplane life jackets?

James72 @James72 (26790) • Australia 23 Dec 06

If people in the immediate vicinity don't hear a massive metal object of several hundred tonnes slamming into the ocean how are they going to hear a friggin' whistle??

ban the whistle

2 responses

djr5899 If your plane were to crash in the water in the middle of nowhere, the whistle would come in handy. Image crashing in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and a search party looking for survivors in the middle of the night. You may need the whistle to get...

Laser TV predicted to be death of plasma

ready2earn @ready2earn (435) • Italy 16 Dec 06

It's being hailed by its developers as the next revolution in visual technology - a laser television that will make plasma screens obsolete. Soon-to-be-listed Australian company Arasor International and its US partner Novalux...

djr5899 Wow, this sounds like a win-win situation. If this is the next big thing in televisions, then the price of plasma and lcd will have to come down sharply in the next year. I'd like to see how affordable these new TV's are, as "affordable" may be subjective to...

tradeshow2008 @tradeshow2008 (125) • United States 23 Dec 06

How to make great spaghetti and meatballs was discovered by myself only a couple of weeks ago. I must tell you that for the first time I made these spagetti and meatballs in this way, IT WAS THE BEST TASTING SPAGHETTI AND...

djr5899 One thing you can try differently is instead of cooking the sauce on the stove, get a crockpot. Put the sauce in the crockpot with all the ingredients, stir it a little, and then turn on the crockpot and let it cook for hours. My wife cooks spaghetti and...

djr5899 Our family opens presents on Christmas morning. Usually we will let the kids open 1 present each on Christmas Eve, and the rest Christmas morning. We usually open presents no later than 8am, since the kids are usually up by 7am.

djr5899 They have been playing better lately, so hopefully they can pull it off. The loss of Shaq has only taken away from the ratings, and will cause Wade to get doubled more often. If Miami's bench can play well, then they will pull it out. Need another big...

djr5899 I liked Joey, and was not happy when it was cancelled. Yet another NBC show that was given a lousy time slot and not enough time to get ratings.

The price of admission at theme parks

rice5899 @rice5899 (193) • United States 24 Dec 06

What do you think about the price of admission at most theme parks. I think they are outrageous, every year they seem to go up higher and higher, then alot of them dont even let you bring in food from outside, so then you are also...

djr5899 I agree that most theme parks overcharge. An example is a newer children's theme park called Wannado City. This theme park allows kids to dress up in different costumes and pretend to be things like a fireman, doctor, pilot, etc. Wannado City was charging...

Rosie Vs. Donald

coolcatzz @coolcatzz (1587) • Canada 23 Dec 06

Ok what do you guys think??? I definitely think she is losing it. She has been on the show for 3 months and she is stirring it up with everyone. She made Kelly Ripa mad insinuating that the only reason Kelly was upset over the...

djr5899 I think Rosie has lost her mind. I don't think The View was created to cause the type of controversey she is bringing to the show. I applaud Donald Trump for not standing by and letting her say what she has said.

Millionaire

msqtech @msqtech (15073) • United States 24 Oct 06

With all the costs of living would 1,000,000 dollars be enough to survive on the rest of someones natural life? Or would you still have to work to provide for yourself into the future?

djr5899 It depends on your age, your lifestyle, and where you live, but even then, I say no way could that last you the rest of your life. If you bought a house, that would take up almost a quarter to a third of the money. Even if you bought the most fuel...

djr5899 I know exactly what you mean. Having two kids 5 and younger, I sometimes find myself enjoying The Wiggles just a little too much. There are some shows that are good, and others that I can't see how even the kids enjoy.

Heroes, did you watch the whole season?

cowboyzfan @cowboyzfan (718) • United States 13 Dec 06

djr5899 Heroes was one of the best new shows introduced this season, and probably NBC's only hit new show, as a lot of new NBC shows bombed (Windfall, Kidnapped). I really like the show and can not wait for it to return. My only fear is that it will turn into...

What do you think of having to wait to see more Jericho?

mommamichelle @mommamichelle (466) • United States 18 Dec 06

I love the new tv show (in the USA) called Jericho. I can't stand having to wait for more shows. It seems stupid to me that they took it off for a couple of months. I never missed a show while it was on. Will you watch it when it...
