from Henry V (1599) by William Shakespeare clr gif WESTMORELAND. O that we now had here But one ten thousand of those men in England That do no work to-day! KING. What’s he that wishes so? My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin; If we are mark’d to die, we are enow To do our country...

I trust the FFA. I might be able to sell them to Otis for $5 racks.

is there a market for beer cans? I was cleaning out my basement and found two boxes of beer cans from the 60's and 70's. Most brands I've never heard of, but also some PBR, Schlitz, Pearl. There was a nice "old frothingslosh" with a picture of a fat lady from 1969 in the collection.

So my company has offered as a "benefit" the Microsoft Home Use Program where I got a full copy of Office 2013 for $10 a few years ago. I think the idea is that my company buys a lot of Microsoft products so they made Office 2013 available to employees as a great discount. I searched on-line and...

Kensington is nice. I am over near Churchill HS - not too far from Cabin John shopping center. Many houses were built in the 60's but have been updated. I think prices range from $650k to $850k. Of course there are some that are significantly higher. Most houses are 4 level splits, there are...

Where the f do you live in MoCo?

got my 11yr old son Xbox One and some games (Halo, Forza, Minecraft, NHL16). He thinks he needs/wants Kinnect. Are there games that are better with Kinnect? It looks like the games that work with Kinnect are the dance games and the basic sports games, but not many others. What is the verdict...

If a spreadsheet is not your thing there are plenty of online apps. I use myfitnesspal.com. Free version. I track everything I eat. I set a weight loss goal (one pound/week) and mfp tells me my daily calorie allowance. If I exercise I get more calories. For example 30 minutes on the bike gets...

update?

So my 10yr old son has been watching I think Season 2 on Disney XD and is really into this show. I think these shows are from ~2006. Now he wants to buy a bunch of dvd collections from Costco that have the entire series of I guess Season 1, 2, 3 & 4. These are 5-6 disc sets. From my...

Be an ### if you want. You obviously know these guys and their cooking. I'm just a guy that eats out occassionally and would rather have chef cooked food than a chain. I appreciate your comments on other local restaurants and if you can steer me to better places, I'm happy. Thanks.

Question for Nittanylion. What do you think of Chef Tony's in Bethesda? Had dinner there Saturday night. My 10yr old wanted to see the open kitchen so we walked up to watch. Chef Tony spent about 10 minutes talking to us about his restaurant, parking in Bethesda, food, entrepreneurship and...

I read this part "I just wonder about the necessity of sitting and showing my son who has worn contacts for 2 years how to put in his contacts" and I'm not sure the OP understands what the fitting fee is for. Or maybe I don't understand. I don't think the fitting fee is to teach your kid how...

We like the Eden House. Very laid back place with a pool, hot tubs, hammocks, quiet alcoves, daily happy hour (drinks not food, and not a rowdy get drunk off your a$$ happy hour - more a happy mingle). Not for the 20yr old set but perfect for the 35+ set. Quiet hours between 10pm - 10am...
