Is eBay doing a promotion with Priority Shipping?

That's the question I am trying to figure out - All of my listings are coming up with Free Priority Shipping - I don't get it!!

Newspaper Crossword Puzzles: Stimulating or Annoying?

So I try and do the New York Times Crossword puzzle daily and find myself either totally perplexed, annoyed with it, or I find that filling it in is like icing a cake!  I find that I gain knowledge at some pint while doing it.  I mean when you eventually solve one, one feels a sense of completion.  Some of those answers, when I get it, can never be forgotten.  And the following week when you come across a similiar clue and you can easily fill it in, it is great.

Are those puzzle books with circling the words better, than trying to find the right word?  What about the popular Sudoku?

The Adult Swim & What Happend to the Good 'ole Cartoons

So, I was channel surfing the other day and came across this Adult Swim - Is it a channel or a series of cartoons?  Do adults really need to watch cartoons for entertainment?  Do we really have the time to do so?  Couldn't we make better use of our time?  I remember growing up and having The Smurfs, The Power Rangers, G.I. Joe, etc.  What happened to good cartoons?  I mean I have a young brother who tells me about this show with Jimmy Neutron, and all of these killing of characters on these T.V. shows.  I mean children need to be entertained but I mean cartoons use to be so innocent.  What happened??  Cartoons in today's age are so incredibly filled with blood, guts, and everything else!!  I mean put on Dora the Explorer...so what if Diego is gay and they're trying to teach you some Spanish - welcome to 2008, at least they aren't killing one another - and the most they do is meet a ghost on their travels - These same parents who need Dora banned are the same ones who don't mind their children being subject to the horrific cartoons of blood, killings, and everything else!

How Greedy is America on Deal or No Deal?

So I missed the episode where a person had a 50/50 chance of winning the million dollars as soon as they walked on stage.  Has anyone yet to win the million?  As well, I mean come on for 1 hour for an offer to be over $500,000 that's like 10 years of a person's salary.  How greedy are we as Americans for more money?  If you have been on the show, please respond as well.  What I would lke to know is do the producers, make people go all the way?

Finally Snow in New York City!!
