Comments (32)Pawprint -- the last image you posted (of a "new review" of the vacuum) is NOT a posted review. It is simply the box in which you can write a review. The true test will be when you click on the button to post it. Unless things have changed over the last several years, you can try all you want but the second review won't actually get posted. You'll get an error message telling you that you've already left a review....See MoreSleep and pets
Comments (117)I like it. Curled up behind my legs, sharing my pillow, next to me, doesn't bother me. I guess I find it comforting. And I don't mind the snoring either LOL. Cooper is big, but surprisingly light footed on the bed. He comes and goes, prefers to sleep downstairs but visits during the night and comes back in the morning. I swear he takes less room than the smaller pug! I like when the cats cuddle and purr as well. As for health evidence that proves it is detrimental? You could hand me evidence that PROVES this will shorten my life by several years and I would still do it. Show me that it is worse than smoking, drinking, swilling sugary drinks and eating purina people chow and calling it food, spraying bee killing chemicals on cash crops that have no real value, filling our water and air with pollution, and packing our soil with artificial fertilizers so we can suck the life out of Mother Earth herself. I'll take sleeping with dogs and cats on my bed in a heartbeat. And I am allergic :) Dances....See MoreDid you marry your first love?
Comments (38)Yes, in a way I did...I met him when I was 12, in a hospital bed with a broken femur with my leg in traction (way back in 1950)...He was in the adjoining room with burns to his arms but he was able to walk and the nurses would tell him to visit that little girl next door....Even after he was discharged, he'd still come to visit and then I was sent home in a full body cast and flat on my back for another 6 months and there he was still visiting...He had graduated from HS, went into the Army and we wrote, daily, back and forth and shortly after he came home, we were married...I had graduated, was only 17 and he was 22...AND here we are, married almost 63 years, 5 kids, 13 grand kids and 3 great grands...Sadly, he was diagnosed with dementia 3 years ago and it's not been an easy time...There are days when he has no idea who I am but then when he calls me "Hon", I know he's still with me....So many keep telling me, I need to place him in a home but he took care of me all those years and now it's my turn...As long as I'm breathing and able, I'm determined to keep him in the house we've lived in for all these years.........See MoreSelf driving cars
Comments (24)Self driving autos do hold the promise of reduced accidents. However, it is my opinion that more work needs to be done on how to handle a failure. I also believe that accidents will still abound as long as there is a mix of human and automatic drivers. Humans have the capacity to do the unexpected and sometimes emotional charged actions. Forcing an automatic car to navigate in a human environment seems tough. Humans take so many cues from their surroundings and can process changes thereof, a situation that a programmed automaton might not be able to assess. For example, what happens to a self driver during a snow-fall? Highway features and markers begin to disappear. What about a downpour when the center-line is hard to see, has a sheet of water over it, and has the same reflectivity as the rest of the road surface? It seems to me that self driving cars will be successful only when those are the only vehicles allowed. This eliminates the human randomness and all vehicles on the road are obeying the same set of rules. This would affect road design; Features would be added that were designed to aid the automatic auto. I would not be happy with preceding restriction. I enjoy, too much, the freedom of driving to a remote part of the country and taking in the view. or maybe, live in a remote cabin for a month or two. Its an uncertain future ahead, but self-driving vehicles will increase. I see it as a boon for the trucking industry. An automatic truck driver doesn't need sleep, food, potty stops, or gets tired. It could cover as much distance in one hop as permitted by the fuel in its tanks. It doesn't need health insurance or a contribution to its retirement fund. It has no family dependents. Another segment is freight trains. These would be a natural for automation....See More- 9 years ago
