<t>With the Breeder's Cup coming up toward the end of next month, what do the racing fans here on FG think of it all? Never mind the Curlin vs. Big Brown talk, there's actually a lot more to look at: all the races for fillies and mares (the ladies in racing) have been moved to Friday, the Distaff ha...

I read that in a friend's public blog on LiveJournal. Honestly, it makes me nauseated.

"Hi, would you like to try today's special, HIV on a sugar cone?"

Uh, no thanks. TB in cow's milk sounds better.

<t>I got into genealogy when I was about 14 (so 2001), but stopped searching because I didn't have access to a whole lot of helpful online resourses like I do now. Thanks for getting me back into it, Kevin! Anyway I've managed to trace part of my family through my maternal grandfather's p...

<t>Dragonhaven, by Robin McKinley, is gut-bustingly funny. She wrote the book from the perspective of a 14-year-old boy (the hero of the story), so everything is scattered. If you can manage to follow the storyline without getting lost in the tangents, you'll more than likely laugh until you're in s...

I don't care much for nonfiction unless it's about something/someone I'm interested in. I think about 90% of my personal library is fiction, and a good portion of that is fantasy from the teen/young adult section. My favorites are the classics, though.

<t>I'm printing your post and making a poster out of it to hang on my wall in my room. I also read to unwind and to find inspiration (I'm a writer as well, but only as a hobby for the time being). I don't really keep track of how many books I read per month (I usually read 2 or 3 at the s...

<t>Current projects are The Magician: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel by Michael Scott and The Giver by Lois Lowry. The former is technically teen lit, but I had my mother read it and she LOVED it. The latter is a book my mother gave me when I was a preteen...it's one of the best books I...

<t>That's a very interesting post. Human beings, despite any claims of genetic diversity, are too inbred. Not long after humans evolved, some pandemic went through and wiped out our closest genetic cousins and all but a small handfull of humans. Every single human being is decended from t...

<r>Yay for happy endings! I'm glad you found a loving home for the little guy. From the sounds of things, it will be well cared for, and you placed it with a family who does know a lot about birds, which will save you the crash-course in parrot-keeping. Who knows, though, you might've become a parro...

I'm a Canon user. I've been hearing a lot of good things (as well as a few bad things) about the upcoming release of the 50D, their new DSLR. Does anyone else use Canon, and if so, what do you think are the pros and cons of this new model?

I think the middle photo would look fantastic in b&w. If you want to tint it, I'd go with sepia for a more old-fashioned look. Other than that, I'd lead it in b&w.

<t>Screaming is good for relieving stress -- IF you find a method that works for you. I've found that punching a pillow (and screaming at it while I'm punching it) works best. Sometimes, screaming just doesn't cut it, and you need to get a little (okay, a lot) physical. If you have access...

<t>I think Zeppelin did far more to influence rock as we know it than the Beatles, and I'm not saying that lightly.

Gouramis are aggressive, and should ...

Hi, just registered today. Nice place you've got here, lots of interesting topics. I'm a college student majoring in photography at a university in Ohio. I like meeting new people, especially folks who enjoy the same things I do.
