Um, no. Spare me the lecture on a topic that you know nothing about. My daughter has a chronic genetic immune deficiency. The school systems we approached refused to understand the condition, despite our best efforts to inform them. We tried to conference in her specialists. All we wanted was n...

Questions on Central Private School

Posted by The Big Spliff on 2/8/15 at 4:32 pm

We're fairly new to the area and need some info regarding Central Private. My daughter, for a variety of reasons, typically does much better in a private school setting compared to a public school setting. We have found that even with the best of public school districts, the sheer size of the sc...

Difference between DD5.1/DTS and Dolby TrueHD/DTS-MA

Posted by The Big Spliff on 12/22/14 at 7:56 am

I'm curious to know from those who have done a side by side comparison how improved the audio soundtracks are on movies with the Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio formats compared to the older/compressed DD5.1/DTS formats. I'm looking to upgrade my receiver or add a processor and use my current r...

Posted by The Big Spliff on 12/5/14 at 10:22 am

For crying out loud - when did shopping for bed sheets become this complicated? There's a million different types, styles, brands, material blends, etc. to choose from. I thought this was going to be a slam dunk, but apparently this is just another setup for ole Spliff to fail hard at. And I ...

re: Any good places around BR for cooked hams for thanksgiving?

Posted by The Big Spliff on 11/20/14 at 10:20 am

apparently Days Smokehouse in Watson does pecan smoked honey glazed hams 8-10 lbs for $43.99. I'm in that area a good bit so that sounds like a good option. They require prepayment over the phone or in the store with pickup on Wednesday. Looks like I answered my own question. Thanks Spliff!...

we've got turkey and a ton of other stuff going at the house this thanksgiving but the wife wants ham as well and I just don't see us having the time and space to prepare it in time. Any suggestions for getting a quality one already prepared? We can plan to pick it up the day before or morning ...
