    Do many brands of Pre Made Chocolate Milk seem sweeter than it used to be years ago?

    Some are trying to keep Chocolate Milk in schools. I remember it in schools, but it seems to me that the Pre Made Chocolate milk they provide today is way to sweet, I don't remember it being that sweet as it is today, Now it has as much added sugar as a candy bar.

    I can't stand how sweet it is today and half to cut it with milk 75/25 or even more and I find it more delicious without being too sweet.

    What do you think is it sweeter than they used to make it ?

  • Can you hook up Dish Network's Hopper or Uverse's Total Home DVR to non HDTV's?

    I'm looking to save some money on the Cable Bill, and I am considering a switch to either Dish Network with the Hopper or AT&T's Uverse, and their Total Home DVR.

    We have 4 CRT type Non HDTV sets' each of these TV's have Composite inputs.

    And the picture and sound are good on all sets.

    Obviously it would not save any money if we had to buy 4 New HDTV sets.

    Will either the "Hopper" or Uverse's "Total Home DVR" be able to hook up to these Older non HDTV sets natively? If not is there an adapter that could be purchased for these older tv sets?

  • What is the Best Job for Dreamy Idealist/HarmonySeeking Idealist/Sensitive doer?

    I took some personality test, 1 is from http://www.ipersonic.com/, and the other is the 41 question personality test. http://www.41q.com/ I have taken the test and come up with different results, the most often is Dreamy Idealist, Followed by Harmony Seeking Idealist, Followed By Sensitive doer.

    The first two do not seem to be in conflict, and I'm not sure the sensitive doer is either,

    Please list or point to a FREE list of jobs and other resources that would be a good fit for these 3 different personality types.

    Note: some questions on these personality test were crystal clear, and I knew exactly the answer without second guessing, Other questions were a toss up, hence different albeit similar results.

  • Energy Star Ceiling Fans with lights Avoid them or by all means get one? 1 or 2?

    I am in the market for a ceiling fan (with light)

    Some of the Ceiling fan's are listed as "Energy Star Compliant"

    As far as the light is concerned, it's not much of an issue, Most people are using CFL's but what about the fan itself?

    Do the Energy Star Fans really save that much vs a new fan that is not marked Energy Star Compliant?

    Do the Energy Star Fans move less air due to a weaker motor or blade design?

    I am wanting to save money, but I'd also like to keep cool do they really save that much?

    What's Your Verdict on Energy Star Ceiling Fans?

    1. Avoid them they are not worth it they don't save that much, or move that much air. or

    2. Definitely get one, They will save you money, and they will cool just as much as others.

  • TIVO Basic (Toshiba RS-TX unit) and Satellite (Dish or direct) how does it work?

    I have classic cable feeding 4 TV's, Our cable company is slowly removing All Analog channels.

    For the price we pay for classic cable we could order Satellite (Dish or Direct) get a larger and better selection of channels, PLUS an Interactive TV guide. Digital cable with the minibox does not provide

    an interactive guide, if you want an interactive guide, and or

    more channels, you are renting a new Cable box @ $15 a month.

    We have 1 RS-TX60 and 2 RS-TX20 (s) which while hooked up to cable

    do provide a 3 day interactive guide with no fee's and of course the abililty to record, and pause live tv, etc.

    with Tivo Basic.

    Does anyone have Dish Network, or Direct TV with the RS-TX20 or RS-TX60 ?

    what are your experiences?

    if you purchase the local channels through Dish or Direct does it show on the Dish or Direct guide?

    does it show on the Tivo guide?

    @ this point I am open to any suggestions, I also noticed for a 4 TV Set with Dish would take only 2 receivers

    and I found out that they do have an TV2toIR adapter, which means theoretically the multiple Tivo's would be able

    to change the channels of either TV1 or TV2

    Please anyone with experience with The RS-TX20 or RS-TX60 and Satellite (Dish or Direct)

    please respond with your experiences and suggestions.
