Wasn't the Hong Kong flu of 1968 also bird flu? Is this a different bird flu? If I survived that one, maybe I have immunity.

Putting margarine on the pan could cause the excess browning on the bottom. Cookies usually don't need a greased sheet to cook on because they have plenty of fat in them to begin with. Let us know how your experimenting works out.

Now we know how to get them in, but how the hell do you get them out? I know cutting them works, but I never seem to have a scissor when I need one.

Good job for you and your son, he sounds like a great kid. You're cool for bragging about your son's academic achievements. It seems where I live its ok to brag about your child's athletic performance, but no one wants to hear about a child's academic prowess.

Instead of lining your sheets with foil use parchment paper. Foil will redirect the heat back up to the bottom of your cookies. Are you using butter, margarine or shortening?

I don't know how modern you consider modern, but ever since I first saw this photo when I was very young I've been horrified by it.

Can't you try different ear pieces for the er-6i's? I think you can call the company and they will send you ones to try out. If you like the sound its worth a try.

No offense taken, I pick them by color, locale, and mascot. And I do just as well as someone who knows what they are doing. Well, not always.

The current one I hate is mwa, my daughter and her friends use it all the time.

Hopefully another pair of headphones will be in the photo soon.

Thanks, thats great advice. I didn't know you could get custom molds. My uncle's an audiologist - he might be able to do that for me.

Thanks to you guys I have a great pair of headphones, the Sennheiser HD25-SP. I'm really liking these, thank you very much! Now I want to replace my E2c's. I've never like them, they are so uncomfortable and after listening to music and audiobooks with the HD25-SP I realize the E2c's sound...

I use airset, my family members can put their stuff into it too.

My son's high school does this and the result is that my son does the minimum needed - just enough to cross that line from 79 to 80. When I went to college (eons ago) it was the same.

I agree. Buy a nice manmade diamond and tell her how lucky she is that she is marrying a man who is concerned about child labor, slave labor, civil war, etc. With the money you save you can get a platinum setting. My cousin is a jeweler and we get everything at his cost, but I won't buy diamonds.

Forgive a stupid question from a newbie, but why don't you just listen to your music on your ipod?

I'll second Darkninja's opinion about the E2c - unless you like listening to music that sounds like its coming out of tincans.

I wouldn't take the money. I'd ask him to donate it to his favorite charity instead. Linda
