Usually, my own thoughts are the only ones that matter to me. The exception is the rare occasion when I actually create a post or comment asking a question. That's when I want to know about what you think. Otherwise, buzz off.

  • I'm glad you voted! The more voters the better. Thanks!

  • This should have been on the onion if the onion actually dealt with real news. Only headline I've seen here so far that is 1) a real problem to make fun of and 2) not on the onion because it's real. And whew! Just 70% of online shoppers. The rest can afford to not care?

  • I think I'll start with a share so that people feel more comfortable with discussing, as the weeks go by and I see people are reticent. To show you I'm totally encouraging and actually would love some subjectivity on expressing historical opinions, I'll share something from my very personal life. I grew up in the 1970s and 1980s. In the 1970s, the use of gelatin in America was considered "fancy." This included suspending animal organ parts in aspic as a "fancy" presentation. Julia Child at the time, wow, it seemed like every episode of The French Chef was something about aspic. I saw nothing fancy or elegant about it. To me, even when I got a little older (like age 13), it was gross. It looked nasty, the texture was something like Jell-O crossed with chunky peanut butter, and the flavor was a bit gamey. I'm telling you, as an eyewitness to the past, aspic was a very bad idea. Nothing fancy-shmancy about it. I would venture to call it "barbaric."

  • Thanks for writing out how your experience is. It's how I imagined it. I would need to have more battery life to make it worth it to me to buy it. For example, a long trip without any way to plug it in. I definitely wouldn't expect it to run AAA titles.
