    Builders & developers (Pillagers&Blights)

    Actually Chuckster, I my comment was directed at the guy who said that the various strip malls, including First Colony, and Callaway, were not needed. Now that those shopping centers are  there, the people can decide if they are necessary or not. Government and the political process definitely...

    Builders & developers (Pillagers&Blights)

    First of all, Lilly, I know where you can get an oil filter!  :) As for housing "booming" in St. Mary's County, our population grew around 1.5% per year over the last 10 years, which is hardly a boom. Those planning for the "boom" expected the population to be over 100,000...

    Satellite Broadband

    The DirecTV DirecWay/DirecDuo Satellite broadband appear to have a limitation that I can't live with. You can't connect them to a local network via router. Thus, multiple PC's in the home cannot share the connection. Of the info I could find, it appears that there are two satellite modems, a...

    HSA gone the way of the Dot Bomb?

    I just wish gmpexpress.net would get their DNS records configured so I can access my email accounts on other servers. One of my email account servers checks the forward and reverse DNS to make sure the IP's match, and I can't log in via cable modem. I haven't had access to some email since the...

    A question for all the guys?

    For some reason, no guy has said this, so I will! Forget the Bath unless you have a large tub. If you have a jacuzzi, then bath toys may be appropriate. But squeezing two people into the bathroom tub is no man's idea of a Christmas present! Chicks like it, and most guys will go along with it...
