| A blessing? Or a curse? Don't aks me. My wife has given me the same card for three Valentine's Days in a row and each time I was surprised at how nice a card it was. Then she reminded me it was the exact same card from last year, and the year before. | |
| House buying and the aspiring audipihile I'm happy with my Atlanta Metro home with finished basement (dry-walled, carpeted concrete floor, dropped ceiling with heavy-ish fibrous material squares) which has a decent sized room for dedicated audio (20.125' L x 12.67' W), EXCEPT for the cei... | |
