"Maybe there is a Chick-Fil-A nearby."
 
We have a brand new one here in town that opened in December.

For the big get together I would suggest the hometown of our wonderful HOST, KIRSTIE.
 
Columbia, Mo is right in the middle of the country, plus Kirstie would be there to do all the work, etc. I am sure she could put quite a few of us up and I bet she is a great cook.
 
I nominate Richard to work out all the details with Kirstie and report back ASAP. What a wonderful surprise this will be for her!

There used to be quite a few boards sprinkled around Edmunds that had the spirit of comradery that this one exhibits, but owing to a big Edmunds philosophy change several years ago, all but this one are gone, so far as I know.
 
Yes, now the "experts" are devoting their efforts to running off everyone who used to post on the Inside Line blogs; some Long Term Test blog entries would generate over one hundred comments. Since the suits rolled out the "New and Improved" version a blog entry is lucky to get five comments...

And in this case you do ask and you still don't get.....
 
No worries about me going out and shoveling snow. I had stopped a year or two ago, then had the transplant and am now rehabbing a strained right rotator cuff.
 
Reading is a good thing.
 
We also have a new 46" Samsung LED TV that we just picked up but the pitchers and catchers haven't arrived yet.

Be sure to plug it into the "fail safe" outlet.

"...You can eat at Chick-Fil-A on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday...is best...BUT NEVER, NEVER ON A SUNDAY, A SUNDAY, A SUNDAY 'CAUSE THAT'S THEIR DAY OF REST!"
 
Even Zorba the Greek knows that!

That's what I just got.. I wasn't really expecting it to be any better than my four year old Sony LCD, but it is.

I don't know much about these things, there are people here who obviously do, but, from what I have read, there have been huge gains in LCD TV technology in the last few years. The technology is improving rapidly, so I would suspect a new TV should be much improved over a 4 year old TV.
 
But, if the Sony is 4 years old, why did you need a newer one?
 
Some good articles;

The 52" LCD is in the lower level. The 46" LED replaces a 36" Sony tube in the great room.

It's funny because after being away for a couple or so years I came back last week and on the main Edmunds page couldn't find a link to the forums pages. It was hidden under the "what's hot" heading. I thought that was just a section on new stuff
 
Anyways it's amazing that this specific forum has such a tight knit circle of people who've been here for years. Never saw that online anywhere else.
