  • who is more famous? Bobby Doerr or Joe Cronin (Boston Red Sox players)?

    I just need to know who is the more famous former Red Sox player. Or, which one was more likeable? I am naming my wedding tables after famous Red Sox players and the last table comes down to either of these two. Any input from any baseball fan would be a tremendous help. Thank you.

  • Making new website. Want two versions, one with ads, and one without (premium membership), how?

    I'd like to have a website that has quite a few ads (to make money of course), but want an option that if my members don't want all of the ads, they'll have to pay a monthly (perhaps yearly) fee. Where do I begin?

    At the time being, I'm thinking of having everything public, a home page, a forum, possibly a chat room. I just want to make it so you can log in if you choose and see everything the same, but without the ads.

    Thanks in advance!

  • Did we all forget that Obama is half white?

    Isn't it a slam to Obama's mother to forget or not mention her heritage? When Obama makes his first major mistake, will he be referred to as a white man instead? Discuss.

  • Why does every single person from the 1940s insist that THEIR house was the first to have a television?

    "We were the first family in the neighborhood to have a television"

    It never fails. Everybody says they were the first. It leaves in the eyes of the people they tell that they were the most well off family. Were they? Go ahead, ask someone, they'll tell you that they were the first.

  • How to make a complaint about the voting procedure? Indiana...?

    I didn't get my "I voted today" sticker when I went to vote today. I live in Lowell Indiana. I thought everybody in every state gets a sticker if you vote live on election day. I am outraged. How can I complain and get my sticker? Everybody else gets to walk around with their sticker, and now I look unpatriotic.

  • How to get to Time Square (Muse Hotel) to JFK via subway/bus?

    Trying to get from the Muse Hotel (46th and 6th/7th) basically Time Square to JFK. Thanks to the wonderful advice on answers.yahoo.com I was able to get from Laguardia to The Muse Hotel. I am hoping for the same fantastic level of advice. Because I was so successful with the advice, I was able to save some money. Thank you in advance for ANY advice. Wonderful city, great time, thanks!!!!

  • How to get from Laguardia to 6th ave and 46th street (or near Rockefeller center)?

    Flying into LGA, staying at The Muse hotel. Wanting to get there via bus/subway to save some money. Seems like the NY shuttle bus service that costs 21 dollars will take just as long as going by public transit.

    Looking at maps, I'm wondering if I take the M60 bus and get off at the Astoria stop, if that is by the subway, and if it is possible to take that line into Manhattan. Or do I stay on the M60 and get off at 106th and Broadway and take a subway from there? Also, what line would I need to ride on the subway?

    I'm all about saving money, but not to the point where it would be a huge inconvenience. I will just have a small carry on size of luggage (with wheels). Please advise whether you think it is worth saving this bit of money or not.

    Example... taking the subway in Boston to go from Airport to just about anywhere into the city is not a struggle or hassle for me. In Chicago, taking the Metra from Naperville into the city, then walking to get on the blue line to get to Ohare is a hassle.

    Thank you very much in advance! I look forward to spending the weekend in your fine city!

  • Need men's dress shirts, on a budget

    I need to buy a couple of men's dress shirts (long sleeved button down). Looking for decent quality, or at least good enough to fool people. They do not need to last long as our budget will allow for better in the coming weeks.

    Do you know of any stores that have shirts for around 15 to 20 dollars? (I know, it's cheap, I found some decent shirts on Lands End's website on clearance marked down from 50 to 75 for 20 to 25).

    Thanks in advance to all suggestions!

  • If we all drove 55mph on the highway, would gas prices go down?

    It is believed that if you slow down to 55 mph (from say 70 mph), you will get much better gas mileage. If we all slowed down to 55 mph, we all wouldn't need to purchase as much gasoline. Simple economics states that when demand goes down, and supply stays the same, the price MUST go down.

    What are your thoughts?

  • Do you think Grocery Game is a scam?

    Don't waste your money at grocerygame.com It's a complete pyramid scam. I spent the dollar to get a month trial. There are barely any decent deals. They CLAIM that they go into stores and actually look on the shelves for specials. THEY DON'T! All of the information they provide can be found for free on the internet.

    It ends up costing a few dollars a week. They are also bombarded by banner ads.

    THE SITE SHOULD BE FREE FOR USERS. You shouldn't be threatened if you share your findings with your friends. I think they are doing some illegal things anyway and I may look into a class action law suit.

    Anybody else notice this or know someone who has been brainwashed by this awful company?

    If you want to know samples of their "deals" without giving them your credit card, just email me and I'll tell you. They can threaten me all they want to. These are all published sales in your local paper. They don't own the rights to a thing.

  • Container gardening. When should I add mulch? I'm growing vegetables.?

    I've been reading online that I should leave room at the top of the container for mulching later on. However, I can't seem to find WHEN I should add the mulch. These plants have been in their large containers for about a month now. Should I just go ahead and add mulch now? Tomato plants are flowering, peppers are not. Tomato plants range from 12 to 24 inches in height. Peppers haven't grown much. Any tips are greatly appreciated! I will avoid best answer promptly.
