Eric, what do you think about adding a forum for foodies to talk about food, restaurants, share recipes, etc? 

It's not a question of whether or not the earth has cycles of climate change, but rather what effect we have had on those cycles. Clearly, we have and to deny that is just ignorant, or bait, and I won't fall for it.

I had this coworker once who was going through a nasty divorce and would always talk on the phone about it to anyone who would listen loud enough for the whole office to hear. Really! We don't need to hear you air your dirty laundry! We don't need to know that your ex is a drug addict. aaarrrggghhh!!!

Their motorcycles are sooo cool, but their fighting really bothers me so I don't watch the show really. occassionally if I'm surfing the channels I'll stop on it for a minute.

Paris is out of jail!! 

OMG that's the coolest thing I've seen! what a touching story

"hehehe He said Titicaca"

LOL that's funny! good for them!

what a jerk! but I guess that goes without saying

I got your email. Thanks for letting me know! That's a pretty handy page

The managers at DoubleTree sound like jerks! That's really scary. I always try to take important stuff with me whenever I leave a hotel room, but that's because I don't really trust the staff.

  Did you see that Dubya got pooped on? 

It would probably help. I noticed you did it on the main page of the site and that looks good.

Not much different, just have less stress

This is for any of you who suffer from hypertension. I also know (if you want a natural way to lower pressure) that garlic does wonders for high blood pressure. But here are some good points for you who watch for this....

1. Check it.
You can't do much about your blood pressure unless you know what it is. Your doctor should check it at every visit. Measuring at home between visits is even better.

2. Get moving.
Exercise can lower blood pressure by 10 points, prevent the onset of high blood pressure or let you reduce your dosage of blood pressure medications.

3. Eat right.
A diet for better blood pressure emphasizes fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy products, whole grains, poultry, fish and nuts.

4. Control your weight.
If you are overweight, losing weight can lower your blood pressure.

5. Don't smoke.
Smoking a cigarette can cause a 20-point spike in systolic blood pressure.

6. Drink alcohol in moderation.
Going beyond a drink a day can contribute to higher blood pressure.

7. Shake up your salts.
Too much sodium and too little potassium can boost blood pressure. Aim for less than 1.5 grams of sodium a day and at least 4.7 grams of potassium from fruits and vegetables.

8. Sleep is good.
Chronic lack of sleep can contribute to high blood pressure. Get at least six hours a night.

9. Reduce stress.
Mental and emotional stress can raise blood pressure. Meditation and deep breathing can lower it.

10. Stick with your medications.
Taking medication can keep you from having a stroke or heart attack.
