Brees Breaks Records

merylinkid @merylinkid (69) • United States 7 Oct 12

Drew Brees broke Johnny Unitas' record of 48 consecutive touchdown passes thrown in games. He did in the first quarter of the game tonight against San Diego. How fitting that it came against San Diego, the team that discarded him...

Gas Rationing

merylinkid @merylinkid (69) • United States 5 Oct 12

I see California is having to ration gas. It does not seem to be happening elsewhere in the US (give it time). Gas prices jumped a whole dollar over night. How are you handling it?

Lake Placid: The Final Chapter

merylinkid @merylinkid (69) • United States 29 Sep 12

The original movie was not bad. It was no blockbuster, but it did okay in theaters. Then SciFi got hold of the franchise and they made 2 more cheesy movies, each worse than the last. Now, they made a fourth. And the saddest...

I see it is in the stores already. Actually it has been there for a couple weeks. What I want to know is who are these people who buy Halloween candy in September? I could never buy it that soon, it would get eaten before October...

Sites Similar to Oxfam Unwrapped

merylinkid @merylinkid (69) • United States 23 Sep 12

I just love Oxfam Unwrapped. It's a charity donation where you can buy unique "gifts." You are actually making a symbolic donation for that item, but the money goes to a good cause. For instance, $12 buys enough manure for a...

Have you ever thought about opening your own quilt shop

merylinkid @merylinkid (69) • United States 21 Sep 12

I have. I even found the perfect location. But what do I know about running a quilt shop. I don't even know where to get a cash register. But man, the idea is so tempting to just ditch the day job and do it.

merylinkid @merylinkid (69) • United States 16 Sep 12

I did search. I cannot believe this discussion hasn't been started yet. Who do you think will be the better NFL Quarterback Luck or RGIII? Why? All I know is those two will be linked forever in their careers. And as a fan,...

Last year when the Lions played the 49ers, they coaches almost got into a fight after the game. Somehow the traditional hand shake between coaches at the end of the game went wrong. Jim Harbaugh of the 49ers got offended at how...
