the search is a little quirky, so being creative helps.
for instance, a search for slumber party night will find ANY ONE of the words, while "slumber party night" (in quotes) will only find the exact phrase and i don't always use the complete phrase and sometimes i abbreviate it to SPN.
so, a search for slumber spn with no quotes should find every post that mentions our little weekly ritual.

I installed Microsoft’s MyPhone, which is [...]

anyway, i stock a [...]

so, here is a copy/paste from the [...]

”Check out the top 20 search subjects on Yahoo!, complete with a sardonic round-up of all the newsmakers that are moving and shaking web traffic this week.”
and i am posting these specifically for members of my family…
one for mary, one for mom, and one for jeff (i have been meaning to point this one out to him for something like three years)…
these links came from an AGSF (?) thread titled “Star Wars DVD LG did not do a good job on remaster thing sound”…
ours have been pre-ordered for quite some time, just waiting for launch day, with a gift certificate given to us for just this set, so, george technically got none of our money…
besides, we still treasure our near-mint Star Wars Trilogy Definitive Collection LaserDisc Box Set of the original theatrical cuts of the films, and even have the Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition LaserDisc Box Set, the now intermediary 1997 versions, also not available on dvd (even though, with all the dumb stuff added in ANH and the dumb stuff already there in ROJ, only ESB is worth watching, but, VERY worth it)…
anyway, on to the links…
