Bonsai Trees
So my g/f is just starting out with her first bonsai and I'm looking to get her the proper tools. I've very briefly looked online since I don't believe there are any local stores where I could find what's needed. Actually, there's one place here, but it's rather pricey and doesn't have a very good selection. With that…

AT&T cell phone upgrade
So next month I'm eligible to upgade my cell phone at a discounted price. My question to everyone here is what phone would you suggest? Also, I'm quite cheap and am not looking to spend much - I want to see what prices I can get online once I'm able to upgrade. My current phone isn't a smartphone and I don't have a data…

The Thing
Did anyone see the remake this weekend? I'm thinking of going to see it on Friday and am just wondering what y'all thought about it. Please, no spoilers. :wink:

Honey Roasted Pecans
So I know these aren't the healthiest of snacks, but I'm wondering if anyone has a tried and true recipe that I can try. I usually buy mine at the mall during the holidays or flea markets but I figured it might be fun to make my own. I've found a couple recipes online, some that call for honey plus salt or just honey. I'm…

Car "experts" - I have a question
When is the best time to change your car's oil? It's a 2011 Acura TSX. It's driven on a daily basis to and from work, as well, as for random errands (work/personal). It's also driven on the highway (from Waco to San Antonio) on weekends. The weather's been in the 100s lately. No rain, so only dry/hot weather... So, do I…

Annoying Coworkers
So, two of my coworkers are super annoying. One of them INSISTS on talking to me FIRST THING in the morning even though I don't even look at her when she's talking. I do other things...like log in to my computer, go through emails, get ready for the day. Half the time I don't even pay attention to what she's saying but she…

West Memphis 3
So has anyone been following this case? Or has anyone seen the two documentaries? I just saw some articles online that says these three guys could be freed (today). And all I can say is that it's about time! These poor guys have spent half of their lives in prison for a crime they didn't commit, just because they looked…

Favorite antagonist from a book...
Well, after seeing several book threads, I decided to start a thread for your favorite (or most hated) antagonist in any books you've read (fiction). I think mine is James "Big Jim" Rennie from Stephen King's Under the Dome. He's a small town politician who manipulates everyone he knows and used his religion to get people…

Laptop vs Netbook
Okay, so this question goes to all you computer people out there. :smile: What's better, a laptop or netbook? All I want to do is get online - watch Netflix, chat via webcam, and check my email and other websites. Just from the VERY BASIC research I did last night, I'm guessing I'll have to get a laptop. I am open to other…

Vacation Question
Since this is the Chit-chat section, I hope it's okay for me to ask this here: My g/f and I are planning to go to Colorado for vacation in late November/early December. I've never been and I don't really want to stay in a hotel, I'd like something more cabin-ish or a bed & breakfast type setting. We'll be flying in to…

"Fat Head" documentary
I just finished watching Fat Head on Netflix. It's a response to Super Size Me. Anyone else see it? What did you think? I thought it was pretty interesting and quite informative, but just like with any other documentary and its facts, I can't help but wonder what it didn't tell me. Although, I think it's a lot more…

I'm new too!
Hello everyone, I just signed up yesterday (thanks to my sister). So far I'm really liking this site and think it's a great way to keep motivated. I'm not trying to lose a lot of weight, but I want to be more comfortable in my body, get in better shape, and just plain feel better about myself (and look good for my g/f…
