Yet at Dads we have I beleive over 10 computers around capable of being used atleast pretty well, and probaly a smaller laptop around somewhere.

Those were just the ones in my room, I have another one downstairs in the dining room, and one in a datacenter in Georgia. And I own a couple of others that aren't used for one reason or another.

Before I moved out of my mothers house, we had 9 computers in our house...but only used three of them.

*My PC
*Brothers PC
*Mothers PC
*Mothers Boyfreinds PC
* M.B. Laptop
*Mothers Laptop
*Old B&W Laptop
*Pentium 1 paperweight
*Lynux box

I'm tempted to get another PC. Thing is, I have no place for it. It might replace the one I already have.

...oh...and to stay on topic...

I just kick back, turn up the AC, and enjoy a nice rootbeer float in a frosty Mug. (Yes...I have my own frosty Rootbeer Mug.)

I have this cup with liquid in it that you freeze in the freezer so you don't have to use ice. It works pretty well.

and it doesn't add water like ice does.

Yeah, you just have to remember to put it in the freezer upside-down or you'll end up breaking the cup.

I enjoy cold weather compared to hot. I save a lot of money on my electric bill because I don't turn on the heater unless its freezing outside.

Heh, that doesn't happen much. I have 4 computers and a 300W halogen lamp that keep me warm in the winter.

4 computers?

We have 6 computers (One for everyone in the house) and everyones jaws seem to drop when I say that as well. Well, I guess having a stepdad who works are an engineer helps to pay for all of that.

My Dad has worked on computers as a job, which it seems as though he usaully gets some computers from work.

Talking on Soda pop.
Is it Soda, Pop, fizzies, Sodapop or other?

And whats your favorite flavors? (mixtures too.) I like-
- Red Cream Soda
- Rootbeer
- Grape Soda
- Cream Soda

Depends on where you live. I've lived in places where it's called just 'soda,' other places where it's always 'coke' (no matter the brand or flavor), other places where it's 'soda pop,' and yet others where it's just 'pop.' I think 'soda pop' is the safest (never liked calling it that myself, though).

outwarddoodles wrote:And whats your favorite flavors?

Barq's Root Beer
Pepsi (Regular or Wild Cherry)
Some of the orange-flavored drinks

-- Vilkacis

Don't forget "Sodie-pops!"

I tend to use the generic "Coke".

And whats your favorite flavors?

• Coca-Cola
  Wild Cherry Pepsi
  Mountain Dew (Especially Pitch Black.)
  Dr. Pepper

'Round here we tend to the 'coke' too, no matter what we want. And I like Dr. Pepper alot, but not Mountian Dew, it always makes me feel sick.

It varies. Usually I can keep the place pretty cool just by leaving the windows open and the lights off and just not going out into the sun, but when it gets too unbearable, well... Sometimes I'll seek out a place with AC, but I will admit to having resorted to some more, er... unconventional methods. Namely taking a cold shower and/or leaving my clothes in the freezer for an hour or two.

Poll Update!

Appears that I'm the only one (thus far) who thinks a nice & cool movie theater is nice. And cool. Here I thought this was a movie message board!

A little topic drift going on, but that's fine. Keeps things interesting!

BTW: 3 computers, 1 PDA (1 for entertainment, 1 for business, and the '98 machine I just don't use anymore. The PDA gets little use for some reason).

Also BTW: I developed the taste for diet colas long ago, but I still crave regular Root Beer, Cream Soda, Jones' Apple soda, and Black Cherry soda.

Hey! My first poll, & I'm very happy with the turn-out. Thanks!

I actually do like a nice cool movie theatre, but with my current financial situation, I can't afford to spend seven bucks every time the heat gets to me. The freezer, on the other hand, is already bought and payed for.

Well, the trick is to find a movie that I want to see, and most everything lately doesn't look interesting.

I have a cool home theater. And its cool in there as well.

My AC just broke when I got bavck home, the thermostat says it's 97 degrees and the humidity isn't going to help any.

Ouch, that happened to me last year. I was in the leasing office getting them to fix it within minutes.

I tried telling the leasing office to replace the one I had when I was in an apartment. They kept repairing the old one that was there. After the 4th time it broke down, they finally replaced it. After that, my electric bill was lower the next month.

Around here, most people call it "POP", as did I for most of my life...but then, for some reason, it just didn't sound right when I said it anymore, so now I call it "Soda", or "Soda-Pop".

...Calling everything "Coke"?... I've not encountered that. I guess that's not much different than calling all facial-tissues "Kleenex".

My favorite Soda would have to be RootBeer. I lost my taste for Cola years ago, and I stopped drinking anything caffinated around the same time, by reccomendation by my doctor. (I had anxiety issues at the time)

I consider myself a bit of a RootBeer Connoisseur.
The best I've ever had is fresh brewed at an old style drive-in restaurant in White Bear Lake Minnesota. You can buy it from them by the gallon. Off the shelf, 1919 is probobly the best, followed by A&W, IBC, and I seem to remember Barq's being pretty good. (I don't drink it anymore because it's caffinated. ...the ONLY Caffinated rootbeer that I am aware of.) "Dad's" Rootbeer was one of my favorites as a child, but none of the stores in my aria carry it any more. I Dont like "MUG" brand rootbeer...it's pretty poor...and I've never had a good generic. Those are usually quite awful, but DIET rootbeer of any brand is liquid poison.

"Frostopp" is also quite good, and I reccomend a good old fashioned Sarsaparilla wherever you can find one. (They taste like black licorice...which is wierd, because I hate black licorice, but I love Sarsaparilla.)

...oh dear...It seems you've stumbled upon a little personality quirk of mine. ...I'm addicted to ROOTBEER.

I used to be addcited to rootbeer but have luckily gotten off it, can't say I still beg to be taken to The Rootbeer stand outwards away from my house, they also have great chilidogs!

Lately it's been beefjerky...

I've been drinking a lot of Red Bull lately. But since it doesn't actually boost my energy level (Years of built up tollerence to caffeine) I'm not adicted, I just like the taste.
