That way you won't be able to say "Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in" each and every time I decide to pop my head in the forums :p

I'm glad there was a pic that way I didnt have to say it :p
 
Wow that was easy. Just did my taxes on Turbo Tax in about an hour. It was sure nice that I had the link from my last years so everything got imported and I had to do very little new input.
Decent size refund too.
Definitely enough to get a nice decent HDTV...and now for the Samsung question. I was on record saying no Froyo by the time I filed no Samsung. Well its not out ota but I do have it so I will keep them in the loop I suppose. They do make good tv's.
Been looking for awhile.

Now this might spark some conversation in here finally. What does everyone else have? Obviously there is the whole plasma vs lcd issue. 60Hz, 120Hz, 240Hz. LED-LCD. I've been patrolling the isles at Costco and whatnot. Im not locked into getting it there but they have decent deals of course. No brand loyalty either. Sony of course looks gorgeous but man its 30% more and doesnt look much better than a good LG or Panasonic to me. Heck some of the Vizio looks good. So I got what 8-10 days before I get the $$$.
Any and all thoughts are most welcome especially those based on experience :)
 
Wow nice find Costco has almost the exact same model for $170 more so this is a cheap fine. Im probably looking in this size and price range too. Certainly wont go over 1400 and honestly less is going to be better if the deal is right.

I was at costco today and liked this 60" Plasma from LG http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11599294&whse=BC&Ne=5000135+4000000&

But was really wowed by this one http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11530592&whse=BC&Ne=5000135+4000000&eCat=BC|90607|2341&N=4047300%204294899201&Mo=13&No=8&Nr=P_CatalogName:BC&Ns=P_Price|1||P_SignDesc1〈=en-US&Sp=C&topnav=
Yes folks it is the Samsung but no lies it absolutely was the most vibrant looking TV and I looked at them all

:pLOL. Well I wont get the $$ till next friday so I have time to look around. I kinda feel bad spending that much coin on myself as its not my nature. But then again I bought the only tv I have back in like 96/97 something like that so its likely time for an upgrade.
 
Just keeping my promise to visit the SF Lounge every visit to AF.

If anyone has persistant aches and pains might wanna give DMSO a try. Off a friends recommendations I tried some and after just one application I found some relief. Its going to take awhile to fully cure me I imagine but this really is great stuff for muscle/soft tissue recovery. Please note, it kinda burns/itches after it sets in, applying a decent lotion after the DMSO absorbs helps control that for the most part.
As usual per me its not a per se human product though it really is. I found it at Big R but almost any farm supply and maybe even pet supply store should have it. So don't let the May Be Unsafe and not approved for human use throw ya :p Im serious I really do use this stuff and it really is ok.

so is the fascinate going to get Froyo? is there a flash app i can download without having root'd ?

Officially yes, any week now. Unofficially we already have had it a couple of weeks. Once you get froyo yes flashplayer is free in market
 
So Im stretching a lot these days. By a lot I mean like 5-6 times a day for 5-10 minutes at a time. Really starting to see some tangible benefits. Its a different universe to perform a stretch for 2-4 minutes at a time.
 
Nice graphic referring to me being dragged in by the proverbial cat ;) Here I am again :)

As for TV's, I know it's not really the size you seem to be looking for, but I got a 32" Toshiba 720p LCD TV on Black Friday for $300 that has been excellent thus far. My parents also own a Toshiba (42") that has been nothing short of spectacular. I highly recommend Toshiba TV's (and laptops as well, but that's getting off-topic). As for the LED TV's; they are really nice, if you can afford them.


Stretching does have quite a few benefits. This is especially true if the muscle(s) being stretched are causing some sort of restriction in range of motion about a joint. Stretching can help a multitude of things though. From having an undergrad degree in exercise science and currently working at a physical therapist's office for over 1 1/2 years, I've found just how beneficial it can be. These both have helped me find exactly which spots I have that benefit from regular stretching (pec region being especially tight) :)

Great stuff Maz. Yeah I have a 15 year old Toshiba and its still going strong all be it in its last month of service likely.

Im totally there with ya on the stretching. Its amazing how much I know about "fitness" but how much I still have to learn. Im really hammering my hip flexors and hips/glutes. Wow. Plus Im using those lacrosse balls for soft tissue break up :eek: talk about pain but its the only way for relief so it must be done.

Back to TV's Im kinda torn because I look at some of the littler 42" sizes and they seem pretty decent I mean bigger is just bigger although everyone says get the biggest tv you can afford and admittedly I am 15 years on my last purchase so I probably should aim high, still we'll see

Yeah, I bought a 32" DVD/Blue Ray Insignia HDTV before Christmas (I don't like Insignia TV's anymore...just sayin). Our bedroom isn't huge but when we're in bed the TV seems like it's really small. I'd like to move it from the bedroom to the bathroom and hang it directly across from the john (at "sitting" eye level) and then put a 46" tv in the bedroom...but I'd have to get the wife's approval on that one :D

How in the world did I grow up happy with a 27" TV being the biggest TV in the house??? :eek:

I know how times have changed. :p
At 32" toilet tv....:p oh man that is something.
I must say Im still very much considering your previous recommendation. On the Vizio 55. Thats a lot of TV for a G. I see they have an even less known brand for less. Still Im a tad leary. I know by and large the panels are often the same and sometimes you are just paying for a different label. But not always. Sometimes you get what you pay for. Still I suppose I'll go to walmart soon and just see what they got as well.
