I could hardly believe that, but, when you think about it- I'm sure it does. I found this article on yahoo.com and thought it was a brilliant topic to report about. What I like so much about the blog article is it talks about wasteful use and spending of electricity. Something that most of us take for granted.

What's your feedback? Do you leave your computer on all night long? Do you turn the lights off when you leave the room? How about the printer not being used? Or the Wii? I'm terrible at about shutting down my computer. I also have problems now with viewing my computer. It seems for as long as I can remember, I've done my homework, taken tests, taken notes, whatever-you name it-on my computer. But most of it in very poor lighting. So now, when I'm sitting at my computer- I have to have 14 different lights on, just to see properly. I know I've wasted tons of money and electricity over the fact that I needed new eye glasses. I think most of us are guilty of being wasteful about something and maybe if we come clean about it- we will be better people for it. I don't know. I just thought that this was a good and interesting blog article. Thanks.
Hmm, just as I thought.

This is the same guru that democrats hailed as wonderful when he challenged Bush. Don't worry, though, costs will increase by only a few billion, and what's a...

Lately, I would say in the past couple of months, I get comments where a person posts an address. It has numbers in front and then there is the name of a road. No city or zip code. I get them in different articles and from different user names although the way the user name is formatted makes me...

This morning I've reported two "articles" on Discover that are blatant spam. How do these get past the filters? In one a doctor is promoting his skill in orthopedic surgery and he can't even spell the name of his own country correctly in the title.Another is a bog standard "best in...
