Chatty Charley thread for the week of January 14th 2008

A carry over from the Chatty Charlie from last week and I am the first one. wheeeeeeee.

you fry it quickly..... like 375 degrees for 5 sec.

One of the tricks the HS science teacher taught us....a little water in a petri dish, under a bell jar, and vacuum out air until the pressure in the bell jar is less than the vapor pressure of the water...and it boils, cools, and freezes.

If you get pure H2O in a container that has absolutely no blemishes...water won't boil.

AS the water will be superheated and Boil very quickly if the surface tension is broken...this happens sometimes in a corningware cup in a Microwave.

And too the Deep fried stuff..there is a guy that has Deep fried Candy bars and twinkies at our fair...they use batter....

Nor will it freeze as readily.

I had a clear bottle of water sitting in my car one winter morning. As soon as I shook it, ice crystals formed inside.

It's 31 degrees here, but humidity makes it feel like 17.

I am bored ! Nobody want to talk about their Magellan GPS anymore, Magellan forum is so quiet!

Not really. I browse through any recent post that sounds interesting.

As a Nüvi user, I see "Garmin talk" displayed more often than other subject, but that doesn't mean I don't find new and interesting things from other forums.

On my part, I am resigned to the fact that my Magellan 2200t has old maps which are not likely to be updated soon. Also, I am resigned to the fact that I cannot afford to replace it with a different brand even if some are offered at attractive prices.

I am contented to the fact that it generally gives me good service and brings me to where I want to go using satisfactory features.

This being the case, I do not find a need to gripe about it anymore. I would comment about it only if someone raises an interesting issue.

Can anyone tell me if they know of a website which would tell me where I can get a flu shot in NYC other than at doctors' office?

Thanks

Try contacting the Department of Health. In some locations they also offer the shots.

Not that you asked this, but in VA, a lot of grocery stores offer then. Kroger is one of them.

This is my first time to reply here why it was called Chatty Charley thread?

This started out as a Chatty Kathy thread, but there was not a Kathy here, so Miss poi decided to make it a Chatty Charlie, (which is named after asianfire) which i do believe he is the chattyest person here, which i dont mind, he keeps things going when they slow down.

that's nice

excellent name.

still struggling along here w/dial-up. too many things taking priority.

I remember dial up. I miss the noise it makes when it's connecting.

me too

I almost wish for a lawsuit that would set the precedence in favor of GPS makers.

In WA, the local Safeway near my house offers it.

was sexist or something?!?!

Nevermind

I have seen the tv ad for this. Did anyone actually try this yet? They claim that it is whiter than the orig bulbs. I have tried different brands before but they burn out quick (less tha a year). Usually only one will burn out. I was using it on my Honda CRV. The original bulbs that I replace them with still works after 6 years.

After I posted what I heard from my Canadian business associates, I wanted to ask all the Canadian members here.

How has the recent Loonie-to-Greenbacks exchange rate affected you?

Newly opened Hwy 312, spanning from near Minneapolis to Chaska, MN, does not appear on Garmin Map Update 2008. Is there any way I can download a map containing it?

Please reply to Michael.Wellner@comcast.net.

Thank you,

Michael

Mmmmmmm nothing like diabetes and cholesterol together to provide that heart stopping goodness! LOL

and report the change - and there's a chance it might make the next update.

Sure am glad I have my garmin, during a recent snow storm here in western Michigan(we get lake effect snow storms alot) I use my garmin to keep an idea of where the road was(curves and such) since I couldn't see the highway through the windshield.

My wife and I have travelled to Cape Coral, Florida for the past 7 or 8 years and rent a house with pool for a couple of weeks with my sister and her husband. About 4 or 5 years ago we were exchanging $3000 Canadian for $2000 US so you can see that with the exchange being at or near equal it makes a great difference. It also has woke up our retailers up here as same day trips to the US has increased tremendously.The major population centers in Canada are 2 hours or less to the border. My sisiter and her husband bought a manufactured home in Ft. Myers and we are going down in February and are going to buy one too in preparation for our retirement.

Ever since I bought myself the Nuvi 250 on black Friday, my wife has had a GPS and I haven't seen mine. I thought that the "bought myself" part would be nice. But it's now hers. I think it's time to buy another one.
Has anyone else had this happen?

I bought MYSELF a new computer to replace an old clunker a couple of years ago. As soon as I got it in the house, I could not get near it; she was always on it. So back to the store to buy her a new one.

I have not let her touch the GPS yet - I learned my lesson.

Which is not the same as fried ice cream at a mexican restaurant which is only ice cream rolled in crunchy stuff.

like Japaneses restaurants. tempura. so good, i want some.

How bout good ole potato pancakes and schnitzel?

Sorry I haven't been around. Trying to memorize parts of the prolaser 3 manual for my court date and have been busy at work.

Chatty Kathy (and I didn't know this until this thread was put up) was the doll that they use to sell. But I guess she changed it to my name since that is why it was created...lol.

Did the outcome of the the Giants and Packer's game suprize anyone?? Talk about the "ice bowl" - that was really a cold one.
