I have many that are my favorites! MarshallO's avatars always make me giggle and I am particularly fond of a certain smokin' monkey. I also love Goldie's avatar. That is exactly what I imagine her to look like in real life. What avatars do you like and why?<< less

* New "Remember me" feature on the sign-in page which will prevent returning members from having to sign in to Askville every day (when using the same computer). Five coins will still be paid (at most once every 24 hours) for visiting when you have Remember me enabled. If you do not explicitly sign out, Remember me will remain active for 4 weeks, after which you will need to sign in again.
* Bonus Questions will not be listed on the homepage or on the "See more" pages linked to from the homepage (for signed-in users only)
* Anonymous comments on discussion boards now show whether they are by the anonymous asker or an anonymous answerer and if they are replies to a specific post or an answer

It seems to me that posts in the DB's which are always critical of Askville and predict it's collapse are made by the same people over and over again. They treat Askville as if it's their own private klatch. Which is okay, but why the constant complaints? Why does everything have to be perfect...and bland...like eating cake at a PTA meeting. Or hanging out at your Church's singles club
It seems to me, that rarely a day goes by without a DB predicting the end of Askville. And they're all the same people...a clique of bantering, whining people who forget that they do what they do only because Askville exists.
Trite conversations are okay...jokes are okay...but what is not okay is that they curse the very instrument that permits them to carry on. They whine about vulgar language and porn. Well, there's porn and vulgar language on every forum. In fact the porn and vulgar language DB's are popular among these people. It gives them material to complain about. It feed their triviality.<< less

came down to one of my favorite sweaters. It was suggested that it was time to part with the sweater, but I'm just not ready, yet. I've taken very good care of it - so it's not faded, out of shape - nothing like that, I think my husband is just tired of seeing it. This from a man that has a t-shirt that I'm not really sure how it's held together!
What item will you not part with, willingly? What is your "go to" piece?<< less

shipment of oil valued at $100-million - with a crew of 25. For all the people who say/think the U.S. should mind its business, and terrorists will go away, who's going to stop this nonsense? Or is the world going to wait until a fully loaded Passenger Ship is hijacked and sunk? Wasn't the U.S. Navy originally formed in the early 1800's to specifically stop piracy?<< less
