Daredevil jumps into pool.

I stumbled across this gadget while surfing the net. I love espresso, but I don't have a machine because I always figured it would be too much of a hassle to fool with before work. This Brikka pot makes an excellent "espresso like" brew and even produces crema. It's super easy to use and clean...

I decided the other day to install Ubuntu Linux to an old machine I had laying around. This is my first time fooling with Linux. I'm not really a computer person other than a user. I'm fine with that. Installing the operating system was very easy. The only problem that I'm having is my...

I need a new battery for my laptop. It is a 15" Powerbook G4. Has anybody had any luck with aftermarket batteries? Good retailers? Thanks

A little over a year ago this punk moved in down the road. He drives his car too fast. He is constantly tailgating me. He will pull up real close, back way off and then speed up to my bumper again. On more than one occasion he has nearly hit me head on. Also around the time he moved in all of...

I'm driving up to Galax this afternoon and was wondering if there are any cigar shops that I shouldn't miss while I'm in the area.

The other day I won this contest that jlada held. Today when I picked up the mail my winnings came in. jlada, you are sick. I can't believe the package that you put together. I am completely humbled. I in no way expected this and am at a loss for words. I just wanted to thank you publicly.

I have had an email account with my isp for a couple of years now. So far I have done a pretty good job of keeping my inbox spam free. After I had the account for a year or so I started getting spam from yahoo.com & hotmail.com email addresses so I blocked those domains. Now all of a sudden I am...

It was a year ago today that I joined Cigarpass. I have tried to read more and post less. I think I have done a fair job of keeping my foot out of my mouth. I have also learned more about cigars than I ever thought I would know. I would like to thank Rod for this awesome site and the members for...

Pandora.com is a cool internet radio station that I stumbled across the other day. The neat thing about it is that you type in the name of an artist or a song that you like and the site puts together a radio station of songs it thinks you will like. If you hear a song you don't like, give it the...

My wife has been in and out of the hospital for the past month with some digestive problems. This has put me sleeping just a few minutes here and there between taking care of her and trying to work. Luckily she has been on the mend for the past couple of days. When I got home from work last...

I remember my mom showing me some photos of the moon and the earth when I was a kid. They amazed me. I learned about astronauts in school and decided that was what I wanted to be when I grew up. A short time later the Challenger disaster happened and I changed my mind about that occupation. I...

What was the scene like at your local filling station today? I think that every gas station within 50 miles of where I live either sold out of gas or was nearly out. I kept hearing all day that they wouldn't be getting any more fuel for 3 or 4 days. I surprised to see there isn't already a...

Did anyone else get a ball cap in the mail from Defiance?

I don't know if these guys are everywhere or just in rural areas like where I live. The usually pull up to your house driving a small truck with a deep freezer in the bed trying to sell you frozen meat. I never buy meat from these guys because I don't know where it came from and I don't like...

Investopedia.com has a stock market game that is set up like a fantasy sports league. After setting up your free account you are given $100,000 of virtual cash to invest as you please. I thought it might be fun to set up a private CP stock trading game. If anyone is interested in participating...

Anyone here smoke Gurkha's Grand Envoy?
