  2. I don't really have a problem with "My Stuff", though I don't care for the way it reduces the forums. My real problem is with the extra time it is taking to do everything. Once a page loads, "Done" appears in the status bar but it takes an additional 2 to 10 seconds until the page reacts to any input, even a simple scroll. The friends list, the extra pics, even the avatar changes are nice, but if this impact on the usability remains, I'd rather have the old format back.

  3. Showing once again his versatility, "vidiot" Edson creates a favorable impression and shows that skydivers aren't necessarily self-obsessed, thrill-seeking, death-defying misfits. Go here and click on "Skydive videographer documents children learning music" for the full deal. I think I'd like to see the video and will keep my eyes open to see if it shows an the local access or PBS channel. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

  4. It really is a matter of how much pain you can stand. When I went in to have my right knee replaced this January, I had been taking an Aleve along with an 800mg ibuprofen twice a day for over a year. I had been on Celebrex for a while in the past, but the ortho doc refused to give me any more due to BP problems. Most of the time, it just was pain that was there, nagging me, but there were times it could freeze me in my tracks; once it started keeping me awake or even waking me at night, I decided it was time. By last Christmas even riding in a car could cause the bones to grind together and make me wince, so I knew it was at least time. I had talked to other implant recipients and dreaded most of all the first few days post-op, as the pain is very intense, but my ortho group uses a femoral block to lessen it. I never really had all that much pain -- as a matter of fact on the scale of 1 to 10, I was a 7 or 8 the morning of surgery and woke up in the recovery room at about a 3 or 3.5 ; I knew right away I had made the right decision. All this is to say, it's up to you to decide the time, but sounds to me like you're either there or damned close. Good luck with your knees -- I'm off for a 5 mile bike ride.

    "I Am Legend"

    I wonder what the record is for number of times a single story has been made into different major movies? Ya gotta know some of the stuff from the Bard has got to be pretty high up there. HG Welles too. The gunfight at the OK Corrall would be quite high on the list. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?
