I hate cereal, with the exception of the different Chex varieties. Something about putting cold cereal in me in the morning just feels yucky.

Just nuke the stuff in the microwave.

Well I just checked my KP ACCOUNT...and I have PRE-Operative Surgery....on May 29. That's where they just check me to see if Im healthy. The Surgery date is set on June 4...I dont know what time though. Hopefully, in the afternoon because I cant eat any foods ONLY water, 24 hours before the surgery, to prevent regurgitation. I really hope they fix it the second time. Wish me luck in this procedure!

Good luck, Rod!

Oh my....that is pretty soon! Good luck!

Are there any shopping malls in your area that have been closing earlier and earlier overtime? The Neshaminy Mall here in Bensalem used to be open until 10PM on Friday and Saturday nights, then in 2007 they started closing at 9:30. Now they close at 9. 

Yupp. Galleria at Pittsburgh Mills used to be open 'til 10. After Christmas they changed to 9:30, and it's down to 9pm now.

Weird. Seeing how that's also a PA mall, I wonder if a state law was passed that all PA malls are to close by 9PM? I also saw that Oxford Valley Mall closes at 9PM. The site for Franklin Mills Mall still says they close at 9:30, but I'm not sure if that's outdated or not (I never go in that mall). Whatever the reason, 9PM is too early of a closing time for malls during weekends.

I think the early mall closing is due to the economy. Less people are going out shopping, especially late at night, so why stay open until 10pm or later if next to nobody is gonna be there?

That was my guess, too.

Good luck! Make sure you take plenty of rest.

I got a tv tuner today. For some reason when I try to record, it gives me a mesage saying something about the codec and then "Class not registered"

So Tyler, I'm surprised your not gushing about your Penguins. They've beaten my Capitals three straight times now. God knows I'd love to see the Caps take this series. It would be a bit of revenge for the loss your Steelers handed my Ravens in the AFC Championship game a few months back. 

And it could still happen. Don't forget that we came back from a 3-1 deficit against the Rangers to take the series in 7 games. We play best with our backs against the wall.

I miss football. 

[ABC7]

Football won't begin for at least 2 more months if you mean college football. If you're waiting for the NFL season games to start, it's going to be a long wait.

Yeah, I think that happened to me back in 2007 when I finally got my first tuner to work after 4 months of having it (it only worked for 3 months before I had my PC reformatted in Feb 2008). My advice: Do what I did not do. Take it in to a place with a tech staff (I take my computer to Staples, if that helps). That should do the trick.
