I HATE that we have to keep EVERYTHING in the fridge. I'm not sure its really the heat, I think its the humidity. I want to invent a cabinet dehumid...

Actually in 1998 Maryland governor Paris Glendenning tried to ban Kevlar/bulletproof vests! I'm not sure if it ever passed though, couldn't find that ...

Spelling aside, this is a(nother) disgrace if true...why would it take them 6-8 weeks to get their first paycheck? And seriously, 2 years for wor...

This is going to be a big problem going forward down here. We had a few year stretch where we were pretty much up to speed with the mainland when it ...

DIsh here is basically now on par with Dish in the states. You get all the same SD programming and almost all the same HD programming now. There may...

I appreciate your posts as well Tammy, I hear a lot of my frustration in what you are writing. Sean

Seems like more stores here should offer a "locals discount" program or something. I spent a good deal of time on Maryland's Eastern Shore and a lot ...
