Thanks for looking, Sugar. Some scary pics there! I didn't find anything that looks like I saw though, maybe it's just an unusual way of aging.

Sea, I don't watch The Bachelorette but I think I heard that they were in Whistler. You can take the Whistler Mountaineer from Vancouver to Whistler Mountain (about 2.5 hrs, $199 CDN return) through some stunning scenery. I love my back yard. :-)

Kitt, I'm interested in your question too. And curious if you get an answer. But I thought I'd chime in that my husband, his mom, and her mom, and younger two kids all have birthmark thingies similar to that. They are like a fold in the skin, an inverted pimple almost. Ron's are near his ears, similar to where you are describing. I may try to take a picture of it and post when he gets home to see if it's anything like you describe.

wireless earbuds/plugs/headsets for your computer???

I think I have heard some of you speak of these, especially during Big Brother. I would like to purchase some so I could hear my music from my computer while on my treadmill.

Any suggestions? I do not even know what to ask for...lol

Boberg, I have wireless headphones and they are great! You can find them at any place that sells computer stuff.

Wireless headphones are great for BB and not all that expensive.

I use the earbuds with my ipod when I need to and they are good for using when the kids are home because I can still hear what they are doing (I never turn my music up too loud.) For bb though, I don't know that they'd work that good for the feeds unless you have a reason not to completely block out sound. Not sure that makes a ton of sense, lol!

When my kids are home, I don't use the headphones because they block out all other sound and I need to keep an ear on the kids (though I don't watch the feeds too often when the kids are up.) With the earbuds I can hear outside sounds and keep an ear on the kids. So if you're looking to block out all other sound, I'd go with headphones, wireless or not, I think that'd work the best.

so are the wireless headphones an earbud now? I have some that I got quite a while ago and they sure are heavy on my head, I was hoping there had been improvement.

I did something stoopid today and therefore I have a stoopid question.

I fell off my patio chair and caught myself with my knuckle. In the process, I ripped my skin almost off my knuckle to the bone.

I cleaned it out really well.

My question is

Should I cut of the flap of skin, or put it over the wound and cover and bandage it? Will leaving the skin help it heal quicker? Or should I just cut it off? (It's about the size of the top of a push pin.)

I would clean the area with peroxide/water half/half mixture. I usually cut the flap off it it doesn't close over in a day or two. Bandage the finger.

Can cats catch a cold from us? I've been in bed for 2 days with a horrible cold and one of my cats jumped up on the bed and licked my fingers. Now I'm worried that he'll get this.

My understanding is that cats can't catch a cold from a human (hamsters and mice can though).

Nope. They can't. And vice-versa.

Twinkie...I found this:

How does a cat get a cold? The first thought that comes to mind is “can my cat catch my cold?”

The answer to that is no and “no” you cannot catch your cat’s cold. It is said that cold viruses are species-specific, which means pets and humans cannot pass a cold back and forth.


at ezinearticles.com

The article goes on to tell you how you can assist your cat if it does have a cold, which is more common for cats in the summer.

I have a question. Is anyone else having problems with their tv shows they are watching pixelating or freezing up? Fox is the worse. but it seems like they are all doing it. I'm not sure whether its our dvr or their programs. We have directv and use to experience it every once in a while, but now it is all the time.

I've had bad problems off and on.. The really bad ones have been HBO and Showtime. Like last night I had one showing of True Blood simply stop recording it was so bad, second one got all garbled toward the end. What a mess.

I've had this on other channels as well.

And earlier today all of my broadcast and basic channels were black.

After I called Time Warner and they decided to bring out a new box on Wednesday (the one upstairs is working ok).. less than an hour after that.. the channels came back. Go figure.

I've had the pixellation problems on and off for a long time, even sometimes after they completely re-cabled on the outside and replaced all the plugs inside.

What movie co. has the stars (the five point type) that go in a half circle before the movie starts? (ANyone know what I mean??)

And ktbb, i have that happen fairly often. But nothing that I can't live with. I'm hoping it's just a bug they need to smooth out...

Kttb...I heard something on a late night radio show a few nights ago. Something about solar activity.

NORTHERN CALIFORNIANS:

Can anyone in the Chic area suggest a place to get my hair done for a wedding next weekend? Possibly makeup too. I don't want to spend a bunch.
