I read that if one uses a mobile phone without head sets you might as well be holding a running small microwave oven, with the door open, up to the side of your head. Therefore, I have never in the...

Sounds like you could be talking about living in the US Mac. Seems that it is the same in most western countries nowadays. I wonder why it is so universal?

The funny thing about reverse culture...

It's not like it has never occured before. Species have been going extinct for millions of years. Old species die out and others are reborn. It is a fact of life.

One eruption of a major volcano...

You make a good point there.

I also am not a complete vegetarian and I still eat meat about twice a week as it is what I have been accustomed to for many years. However, it sometimes still...

No and I won't. But I have heard of it and I still say, regardless of what type of animal is slaughtered in such a cruel way, how can a human being so totally and cruelly torture a helpless animal or...

I understand it may be a part of the culture in Mexico, Spain, and Portugal, but bull-fighting (more aptly it should be called bull killing) is a sport I totally despise and refuse to ever watch it....

Bagels are a great food item. Even though they are made from refined wheat I enjoy them very much now and then.

I sometimes like eating toasted bagels w/butter and dipping them in over-easy eggs....

I sometimes wonder how I managed to survive the summers in New York City and Japan with absolutely no AC. Since I never experienced AC except in stores and such I guess I never really knew any...

Damn I wish I could answer this, but I am leaving for Japan in a few hours and must get ready. I've done quite bit of reading on this subject so I can answer in pretty good detail.

Then I say,...

Interesting question Tokis-Pheonix and one I have not really given much thought to until you asked it. Someone once said that, "Age is a matter of mind. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." I...

Most of the things I have cut out oir severely limited were difficult. I think ice creme was the most difficult.

It wasn't easy at first as I was a drinker of all kinds of soft drinks and ate...

Luckily, at 51, I have perfect health and since I started taking alot of vitimin suppliments about 13 years ago I have not been sick a single day. Not so much as a cold. This from a person who would...

No not my ex-wife. She was wonderful in all respects. Things changed when I left the military and went to college. Too much to explain here. It was the one after her!

I acted on it once in Japan and she turned out to be the woman from HELL! and my action at the time still haunts me to this day when I think about it. I still wish today, 28 years later, that I had...

I agree with Rich. That is a touching story and well told. I really feel for you. Have you tried doing a people search for her on the internet? Maybe she is still using the same name but at a...

Very well said Uchite. You do know Japan and the Japanese quite well. Good post.

Good point Rich. Could not have said it better. Never paid for it. Not true. I did once in Japan, and it lasted a while, but that's for another time. Never will again though. I need to know they are...

Cheese! I am a cheese nut and just love all kinds of cheese especially on pasta. I also like cheese fondu and cheese and black olives with red wine.

At my age I had to start taking alot of fiber...

I believe Saddam will never live to see the end of his trial. Just as Milosovek "died" before his trial was complete so will Saddam fall victim for, if he talks, the world will know the truth behind...

You are quite correct in your fears Kinsao, but be sure it is coming and the very few of us who fear it and see it coming can do nothing to stop it as the majority are already brainwashed into...

misa j's topic on career changes started me on a rant that I had to cut short lest it run off topic. So I thought I would continue it here as it may benifit some. Even if it benefits one, I'll be...

I've had quite a few "careers", if you want to call them that, in my lifetime. Starting out in the military I was a clerk, worked in the base post office, was a reporter for the base newspaper and...

After reading a story in an editorial and stories in The Tennessean, our local newspaper, by John Seigenthaler, a name known in Tennessee, on how his character and biography was trashed in Wikipedia...

I think Exxon-Mobile posted a $35 billion profit for 2005! As we all have no choice in the matter we all pay what they want us to pay or we cannot get to work or deliver goods and services and the...

GCL, since I know you you will read this, I will quote some of the finer points made by others to refresh your mind before making my own statement.
