According to Snopes.com the story that re-using plastic water bottles can cause the release of toxins which may cause cancer is NOT true.

Good, I can go back to re-using my Hannaford sport-top water bottles over and over again!

I picked up a DVD for a dollar called "World of Dogs: Puppy Care," and the human participants have the most lovely British accents. (I had noticed the same thing with another dollar-store DVD, "Fabulously Fit at Fifty & Beyond with Angela Rippon.") Somehow everything sounds so much better in a British accent.

I had hoped that the death of kiota would NOT be confirmed as real, but my very dear friend lotus82, who knew Anna IRL, has verified that it is true.

It's such a damn waste. It's just so WRONG, on so many levels.

My sympathies to everyone who knew her.

I finally got to see Juno via Amazon.com Unbox Video. I already knew almost every line in the movie, but it was a delight to see it for myself.

I'd like to relive the 1960s as an adult. I did live through that decade, but as a child too young to participate in most of the interesting stuff. I would also like to observe my own parents, but only from a safe distance.

I have thought about traveling back to the more distant past, such as Tudor England, but traveling in time wouldn't make me anything other than a stranger. I wouldn't be of the right class, the right family, etc. to be able to experience any of the interesting stuff that happened back then; a time traveler would arrive as a nameless, penniless nobody and wouldn't be able to get in to watch or to be a part of anything significant.
