When I got my first car, in 1965 gas was 28.9 cents per gallon. I could run my VW Bug to empty, push it into the gas station and spend less then $3.00 to fill it up. Then again, minimum wage was 95 cents and hour. All things usually end up being relative.

But, in thinking of the relativity, you could buy 3 gallons of gas for one hour's work back then. How many gallons can you buy with one hour's minimum wage now? In the cheapest places, it works out to about the same, but in places where a gallon of gas costs around $2 or more, that minimum wage doesn't go as far.

Was it recorded in anyway? My voice teacher told me never to listen to any performance recording more than once because you'll always find something each time that you aren't happy with, but the audience only gets to hear it once, so they won't hear all the little things you will if you listen to it repeatedly. Fantastic advice!

Yep. Every band performance is recorded and posted on YouTube. I will post the link for the quartet once it is up, and whoever is interested can give it a listen.

My good friend kinda turned into a million mom with her 5 kids. Sadly it backfired with all of her kids when they became young adults. As parents we need to pick and choose when and how often we draw that line in the sand. We all grew up big fans of Disney. We also spent our October youth visiting haunted houses around the area on weekends. With her kids they could not ride the Haunted Mansion, trick or treat or visit local haunted houses. Me as a Mom I didn't sweat the stuff. I held those cards for when I really needed to say NO!

I'm a pick-your-battles kind of mom. I wasn't allowed to choose my own clothing or anything, and I let my kids do that because...what's the harm? So they go to school with a crazy outfit with stripes AND polkadots. It won't kill them. As long as everything is covered that should be covered, it's ok by me. There needs to be a good reason why I say no to something...like it not being safe, or being insensitive. If I say no, my kids know there's a reason.

I let my kids watch it, you are older than mine so I'm surprised you didn't trip across them in your youth. Miss Piggy always has been a forward lady and had a way of saying things....Kermit was slightly more discrete but yep he made his feelings known. Me after observing my small kids, most of it sailed right over their heads.

Many didn't like Rugrats for the undertone of the episodes. I loved Rugrats when my kids were small. I laughed at parts my kids had no clue about. I think that is a well crafted show. It appeals on many age levels unlike Barney.

I love Rugrats. I still have a box of VHS tapes and every now and then I'll watch one.

I can do that later today. Too much frustration and dust for first thing in the morning. And the flickering seems to have stopped (for now).

You can try the following. Try them in order. If one does not work, move on to the next.
1. Make sure cable is secure and tight.
2. Unplug your monitor from its power source and plug it back in.
3. Reset your monitor to its factory settings (You'll have to figure this one out using the manual that came with your monitor)
4. Change the cable to your monitor. If this works, your cable went bad.
5. Try plugging your computer into another source (extra monitor, TV, etc.). If the flickering goes away, you need a new monitor.

If none of these work, come back and we'll talk, but I suspect one of these should work.
