shoot, we are trying to cut costs to find money for ds's education. we pay 87 dollars for cable each month. it was 74 two months back, but comcast said, 'we did 1,000,000 dollars of improvements in your town, so your rates are going up'. last week, i watched 20 minutes of 'the piano' and cable was out most of the other two hours. glad our cable has improvements. i was really missing 2 hours of darkness on my screen, so i am so glad they were able to offer it to me again... so we stopped in at radio shack today to see about dish net...i thought my husband said 'fishnet' at first, and i was surprised to hear radio shack sold nylons.....anyway, dishnet would be 43 bucks a month. we would get everything we want and hbo for my sopranos and 6 ft under...but!!!! and this is a big BUT: dish net cannot get local FOX. what? i guess i could live without American Idol, since i already have clay.......but no 49er football?! i love my son, but sometimes i feel i give til it hurts

tabby, can't you get KTVU down there? would you be able to get channel 2 off by removing the satellite cable and using the rabbit ears?

we never got ktvu. we get kmph (which sounds like bad gas if you try to pronounce it!) channel 6 out of fresno. we don't have an antenna on the house. we don't have rabbit ears, either, because i always nibble them first--then the face, the feet, and the hollow little chocolate body. the salesman spoke about being able to go to antenna to get FOX for the few times we watch it with an A/B box, but turns out you actually have to have an antenna. we don't get anything here without cable or an antenna. i just realized i like america's most wanted, too. maybe we'll just keep cable or try and find the satellite/dish system that is owned by rupert murdoch. since he also owns FOX, he has kept FOX only as a part of HIS system. (at least that's the reason the salesman gave us).....

right now, my 100-pound dog stinks. the febreeze did not help at all. i may have to break down and give him a third bath in a month. i love golden retrievers, but they get skin irritations and can have many allergies. the family room smells like a 100-pound dirty gym sock. phew!

PowerBar founder Maxwell dies of a heart attack Saturday, March 20, 2004 Posted: 7:01 PM EST (0001 GMT) Toronto (OntSAN ANSELMO, California (AP) - - Brian Maxwell, founder of the multimillion-dollar PowerBar empire and a former world-class marathon runner, has died of a heart attack, friends said. He was 51. Maxwell collapsed Friday at a post office, and emergency personnel were unable to resuscitate him after workers called 911. He was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. Maxwell and his wife Jennifer, a nutritionist, co-founded the popular energy bar company in 1986 and began selling PowerBars out of their kitchen. Over the next decade, the Berkeley, California-based firm grew to $150 million in sales and 300 employees. In March 2000, the couple sold the company to Nestle SA for a reported $375 million. Maxwell, who was born in London but grew up in Toronto, represented Canada in many international competitions as a long-distance runner. He was part of the 1980 Olympic team that boycotted the games in Moscow. In 1977 Maxwell was ranked the No. 3 marathon runner in the world by Track and Field News. Maxwell came up with the idea of an energy bar after he had to drop out of a 26.2-mile marathon race at the 21-mile mark -- about the point where experts say the body ceases burning carbohydrates and begins burning muscle tissue. Maxwell is survived by his wife and five children. Obituary www.cnn.com

WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T LOOKING (Written by a former child) This is a message every adult should read, because children are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately wanted to paint another one. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you feed a stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make my favorite cake for me and I learned that the little things can be the special things in life. When you thought I wasn't looking, I heard you say a prayer, and I knew there is a God I could always talk to and I learned to trust in God. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make a meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I learned that we all have to help take care of each other. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you give of your time and money to help people who had nothing and I learned that those who have something should give to those who don't. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you take care of our house and everyone in it and I learned we have to take care of what we are given. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw how you handled your responsibilities, even when you didn't feel good and I learned that I would have to be responsible when I grow up. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw tears come from your eyes and I learned that sometimes things hurt, but it's all right to cry.. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw that you cared and I wanted to be everything that I could be. When you thought I wasn't looking, I learned most of life's lessons that I need to know to be a good and productive person when I grow up. When you thought I wasn't looking, I looked at you and wanted to say, "Thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn't looking." I AM SENDING THIS TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE I KNOW WHO DO SO MUCH FOR OTHERS AND THINK NO ONE EVER SEES. LITTLE EYES SEE A LOT. Each of us (parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, teacher or friend) influences the life of a child. How will you touch the life of someone today?

Loved that, Lance. I sent it to a few people. Now a question on a different mood: Anyone have any idea what it might mean to dream that some unknown person is chasing you and you keep shooting him in the head and he just won't die?

Cindori...OH MY! All I can figure is that maybe there's an unresolved problem that you're dreaming about? My random thought is.... I wonder where Sweetbabygirl is. I haven't seen her post anywhere AND her member's folder is missing. Anyone know?

Eliz87 I do believe that SBG decided to leave the board and asked for her folder to be taken away. I'm not sure of the particulars of why. Maybe someone else would know.

Well that sucks about SBG. I hate to see such wonderful people leave the board. I hope she'll lurk around and see that folks miss her and consider coming back. My random thought for the day....I watched a show on Discovery Channel tonight about the lost city of Herculaneum (which perished in the same Mt. Vesuvius eruption that buried Pompeii). In the special, it showed how an ancient library was uncovered, with hundreds of papyrus that had been basically fused into hunks of carbon by the eruption. The scientists had not only come up with a way to meticulously peel off the layers of papyrus (and it was coming off in tiny fragments that had to be pieced together), they used a digital imaging process used for space to actually bring out the ancient writings to see! Of course its all fragmented with lots of holes in the documents, and its written in Greek. So I don't know if they even had a true document translated yet. I am just amazed at the patience and tenacity of these researchers to take these documents and bring them back to life after 2000 years. They even said that it probably won't be completed in their own lifetime. What a contribution to history these modern scientists are!

Eliz87: I can't speak for Sweetbabygirl and why she left. However, Sweetbabygirl was a great asset to this site and I truly miss her.

It's one thing to just not post for a while, but to completely remove your folder and everything...well, that worries me when people do that -- especially people who are frequent posters and leave without saying goodbye. SBG if you are lurking, please e-mail me or SOMEONE so we can know what's happening with you. (Yes, I'm being meddlesome!)
