14. in a theater?
I think "Batman Begins"

I have RLS, and tend to be a bit disruptive in a theatre. Unless I know there won't be a lot of people there, I don't go.

I've had to rebuy And Justice For All by Metallica 5 times...I lost them due to thieves....I believe the last cd I bought was....hmm, damn...The Metropolis Mix cd, its a soundtrack to the Smallville tv show...some decent tunes on it...

Are you a career person, or going to school? If so, what/what profession do you profess in...

25. I guess it's possible it was stolen
I had a case that had about 7 or 8 CDs in it that went missing about a year ago.

I work at the Harvard Business School as a faculty assistant to 3 professors. I've been here > 20 years. I tried to go back to night school this year, but just couldn't seem to fit it in.

30. Wow, I bet a job like that keeps you on your toes....:)
I'm just a lowly substitute teacher....:D Why didn't you fit in? A lot of younger students to made you uneasy, or something else? A friend of mine, in his mid 50's, went back to college, and he felt out of place, because 99% of the student population was 18-25 and most of the students just wanted to party, and he felt out of place....

21. To my mom's
she's one of my favorite people in the whole wide world. It'd be great to just fly on over to her whenever I wanna see her.

26. Sweet...
I would fly home, basically for the same reason you stated...to see family, and friends...at times, I wish we did have the technology to have transporters, so we can go anywhere we want to...traveling by air/land is such a pain...but when you reach your destination, it seems worth it...

27. the antenna is in the windshield
which is pretty cool because you don't have to remember to put it down when going through the car wash (I should do that tonight while it's still reasonably warm out--thanks for the reminder)

I think 2 more... thanks for this.

31. That is nifty feature, having the anntennae in the windshield
the ant for my van is a piece of crap...I should just snap it off, because its about worthless. So, since you've had your new car here, how many miles have you put on the beast?

38. our previous
Intrepid was at 136,000 miles, with no signs of wear, nor breakdown...before a Ford F-150 extended cab, decided to do a hit and run...my wife was on her way to work, her light was a green, and in the oncoming traffic, this idiot tried squirting through traffice to make a left hand turn....my wife was going 45mph...she tagged the truck in the rear portion, by the back tire...popped it up, and it slide up the Intrepid, and crushed the windshield spitting glass everywhere...

Truck kept on a going....and never stopped...meanwhile, wife stuck in the middle of traffice at 6:30am...with a totalled car....The intrepid, for us has been a very good car, so we opted to get another one(after a horrendous affair with a ford windstar).

28. Thanks for thinking of that!!!!
I have to admit, I have been TERRIBLE about working out since my 10K. I don't typically run outdoors in the winter, so I won't do any races until April or May.

1 more post, I think.
