Should have been on the teleprompter.

People still want this although almost all advances have been with ADULT stem cells and not embryonic stem cells. If you want embryonic stem cells, get them from cord blood.

Meanwhile, we have had over a week of 70+ temps in NorCal and have one of the driest Januarys on record. If it doesn't rain the rest of the month, it will be the driest. They are expecting some rain Wed and Thurs. The hills are usually very green now. They are green, but a dull green. I expect a lot of grass fires next summer.

Boggles the mind to realize just how fast we are really moving.

Michael Winslow (the sound effects guy from the Police Academy movies) was in one of the Cheech and Chong movies as a guy in the nuthouse who thought he was Hendrix. In the movie he sang " Puple Haze all in my brain What's this Negro doing on the stage? Acting funny, but I dont know why Excuse me while I eat this fly."

At least 7 days in a row of 70+ temps.

Sadly, he died from cancer.

I have a memory for useless facts and remembered seeing on TV that a woman invented it. I just googled it.

Been in the low 70s all week here. Several records broken.

Just down the road from you and up the road from me!

Did that crap come out before the guy was even inaugurated?

Look up Barbie doll history. The Barbie doll was invented by Ruth Handler, a founder of Mattel. Mattel made picture frames until 1959 when she invented a doll named after her daughter. She sold her interests in 1974. The guy you mentioned may have been an exec, but he wasn't the creator.

It's getting rediculous. With the plates, coins,, HBO being free Tuesday night, etc. this is turning into a cult. Never saw that for other inaugurations. At the very least, it is like the adoration that dictators get when they start out.

Where is crayonz railing against the Canadian geese?

Now that everyone is off the plane, someone on another site said if it would have been years ago when the Hudson was a lot more polluted, the plane could have made a wheels down landing and taxied to a dock.

Was an Airbus 320. Was taking off from La Guardia to Charlotte. Reported to have hit birds on takeoff.Still floating 50 minutes after crash. The ferries responded within 2-3 minutes. Reports now say maybe everyone got off.

Shatner will be around for years. He sure doesn't look 78.

Hope he was crapping on it. Did he have that "shoot me now, please!" look like most pets that have been dressed up have?

Just heard that Ricardo Monteban (sp?) passed away today at 88.

Buy a Mac. My old one was five years old and freezing up. I lugged it to the nearest Apple store (2 miles) and they ran diagnostic programs on it for free. Looked like the motherboard was going. Bought a Mini and have had it for 4 years with no problems. You can run the Mac OS and Windows on a Mac.

Are they going to sell grape KoolAid®? How many fights will break out at the theaters? (ala Buffalo on Christmas)

What do they have with going to other religions services? I have been to weddings at other churches (I'm Catholic) and a Jewish funeral. I would have gone to a Korean wedding, but it happened when my grandfather died. The Catholic funeral doesn't have to be a downer. My uncle died around Christmas 2007 at 84. He was estranged from his two sons for almost their whole lives. My mom was about the only one who visited him in the nursing home for several years before he died. He died in the VA Hospital. He didn't have much money so my mother and an aunt (6 of 9 sibs left) arranged the cheapest funeral they could. He was laid out at the funeral home for an hour and a priest came and did the funeral mass there. About 25 people (all relatives showed up as did his son who lives in Buffalo. The priest is the pastor of Queen of Martyrs in Cheektowaga and is the chaplain at St. Joe's Hospital. There wasn't much nice to say about my uncle, but before the regular mass started, the priest told a few jokes, which lightened the mood. At the cemetery, my cousin's husband, who is a minister, said a some nice words. Afterward, my mother had about 10 relatives over and my cousin's husband got us roaring about his stories of being an altar boy and the times he went to a strip joint when he was young.

Oakland and SF- both play in stadiums made for baseball, Suck. Candlestick has very narrow hallways.

Sadly, they announced this coming season is the last.
