<description><![CDATA[I really should stop eating right before I go to bed.&#160; I think I have crazy dreams as a result.&#160; Last night had a few different dreams, but the scariest one was when a doctor told me I had thyroid cancer.&#160; He said that he wanted to start radiation treatment right away.&#160; I said I wanted a second opinion.&#160; Later on I busted out into tears when I told my family what the doctor said.&#160; They were all in shock.&#160; It was very imprinting though, I woke up still confused ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Does the amount of food in your refrigerator matter in how much it runs?&#160; Does an empty fridge use less energy because there's nothing in it to cool?&#160; I guess you can take that further and say does the contents of the fridge make a difference.&#160; Does a fridge full of liquids require more energy than a fridge full of fruit?&#160; I guess it all comes down to how much energy does it take to cool air...If I were to make a prediction, i would say a vacuous space would take more energy ]]></description>

What did you last replace batteries for?

What have you thrown away that you probably could have had repaired?

<title>New housing and a Pitt in the Hill</title>

<description><![CDATA[The Pittsburgh housing authority has approved a sale of land to Pitt for new athletic facilities.&#160; The property is right next to the Oak Hill apartments.&#160; The land left over will be sold to Beacon developers to more than double the number of housing units of Oak Hill.&#160; This is great stuff for 2 reasons.&#160; The obvious reason would be so many new houses in an otherwise undeveloped section of the Hill.&#160; More houses mean more residents.&#160; More residents mean demand for mo]]></description>

Watching the clouds cover the sky
Watching the rain camouflage tears
Watching the leaves wither with fears.

Seeing the sky fill over by a shadow
Seeing the lightning strobe the below
Seeing the debris wrestle with the wind
Seeing leaves on trees which they're pinned.

Hearing the wind rattle the screens
Hearing the rain fall like beans
Hearing the thunder dampen screams
Hearing this storm, interrupts my dreams.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I want to be on a game show.&#160; I think i missed the boat for jeopardy.&#160; I've always thought my family would be great on family feud.&#160; Price is Right would be sweet too.&#160; I just think it must be so easy to get on those things since it's a new one every day.&#160; If I lived near a studio, i'd go every day possible.]]></description>
