  1. I can definitely see the appeal to this. I had to take a leave from work to take watch my mother after being in the hospital with bi-lateral pneumonia. She is doing fantastic but still needs a few more weeks of Physical therapy rehab. When I do go back to my own place (I live an hour away), even though she is fine to drive, it would be nice if there was a grocery around here that would deliver the groceries. I did look at Costco but they are 30 minutes away and do not service my mothers zip code.

     

    The only thing I think that is bad about the at home grocery delivery is when it would come to produce. I wonder would the person who would be gathering the groceries check all of the produce to make sure that it looked good or just grab the closest ones and not care about if there is bruising or starting to get too ripe.

  2. My mother recently had to replace her dishwasher. I was looking for one for her and picked a GE dishwasher and purchased it from Costco. This dishwasher is very quiet and does an incredible job at getting the dishes totally clean. Also, in addition to the warranty that came with the dishwasher Costco gave an additional 1 year warranty with it, delivered it, installed it and took the old one away at no additional charge.

  3. I read they were going to pick the show up 10 years after the finale so maybe it will take place while Will and Grace's children are still toddlers. Thinking about the finale it is possible that the characters did reunite before their children did go to college. Or they could just tell good episodes that could take place anywhere in their history. However they do it I am very anxious for the return (and plus with James Burrows directing it that will make it all the better).

  4. I was thinking that they would just have episodes that take place at any point in time during the series if they still wanted to honor the series finale. For instance the first episode of the revival could take place between episodes 7 and 8 of season 5. Or they could just ignore everything all together and just give a good 30 minute sitcom (though I do hope that we could see a small tribute to Debbie Reynolds since she played Grace's mother - maybe actually have the character die off screen and refer to it.)

  5. being a huge comic nerd I am looking forward to this but lately DC movies have not been faring as well review wise as Marvel Comic based movies. (I have not seen Batman vs Superman nor have I see some of the latest Marvel comic based movies either). Do not like the look they gave Aquaman but I can look past that if the film is good.

  6. If you look at cities within a few hours of Columbus, none of them have substantial numbers of escorts--not even Detroit which has a much larger metro area. Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Cleveland each have two sizable universities and even the ones that are commuter schools would be theoretical candidates for guys becoming escorts. The two cities with lots of students and sizable numbers of escorts are Philly and Boston---both are much larger metros than Columbus and the numbers of students are something like 25-300K in Boston and well over 100k in Philly. Columbus and all these other places are smaller metro areas than places with sizable numbers of escorts. Columbus also isn't a convention hub or a tourist destination. Its mainstays are things like state government which, at best, provide a middle class income. Yes, there's some tech, but its not Silicon Valley. Mostly its regional offices and logistics and middle class that lives off that. There simply isn't a huge market in any of the Midwestern cities except Chicago--the Twin Cities (which have a big state school), St. Louis, none of them.

     

     

    yeah, as someone who lives in Pittsburgh it is pretty much a wasteland when it comes to escorts. There are some that do visit here regularly but it would be nice if a few more would visit here.

  7. I cut the Cable cord about a year ago and saved myself about $100. I do subscribe to Hulu (commercial free-$11.99 a month) and there are quite a lot of shows on there that I watch. Also, you are able to go to CBS.com and watch all of their shows for free (with commercials though). The only thing that is not on Hulu is this season of American Horror Story. When I go up to visit my mother I just watch it in on her "On Demend" service. Other than that I have not had a problem with not having cable at all.

     

    I was thinking about picking up a digital antennae to see local newscasts but have not. Any recommendations on what one might work best?

  8. I have all 4 seasons on DVD and I love watching them. That show was so ahead of it's time. The sad thing is that Susan Harris designed the show to only be 5 season and they had one more season to go and then got cancelled.

     

    For as funny as that show was it could be just as touching. Plus, even though Billy Crystal's character was portrayed as being stereotyped, it was a major accomplishment to have a main character like that on a show back in the late 70's.

     

    To me, that show is timeless. I feel that show could be brought back with the right recasting and with a few small re-writes in the script could be shown today.
