I used to love eating Driscoll's strawberries. Then, last year I saw a documentary about the company on Vice, the documentary series on HBO for which Bill Maher is the executive producer. ...

I agree. The gas portion of my P G & E bills in January and February were outrageous...over $200 for gas use alone. Granted, I was home a lot and my elderly parents were visiting me, but I had...

Sounds hypocritical to me.

I never liked Comcast. I've always loved Sonic! They provide great customer service, something that is virtually unheard of in the satellite/cable/Internet industries. One soft spot about Sonic,...

While it's hard to find a good auto insurance company, I would caution you to stay away from GEICO. They suck. They spend billions each year touting how they'll save you money...until you have an...

P G & E continues to raise their rates way more than the rate of inflation. Natural gas costs drop, so what does P G & E do? They raise their rates 7%. What's up with that? Every time they have...

I was originally elated at the death of Justice Scalia because I believe he had a horrible impact on the Supreme Court. Reality set in after hearing Mitch McConnell pull his usual bullshit by vowing...

Just hope the A-holes in Congress don't block every nomination Obama makes for his replacement.

I guess when things get mean, even family members will turn on each other

How about instead of volunteering to go extinct, we treat our wonderful planet with the love, respect and care she deserves?

For years I've believed that there's a 50/50 chance that humans will make it out of the 21st century. The climate change talks in Paris will have a major impact on which side of the 50 we'll be on.

See Ma? I ALWAYS said it was good for you!

[/CENTER]The speech was good, but the hypocrisy is that he approved Royal Dutch Shell's application to drill for oil in the Arctic Sea. Scientists say that there is a huge amount of methane frozen...

The bottom line is "Who's paying those scientists to deny that climate change is caused by human activity? The Koch brothers? Exxon/Mobil? BP? The fracking industry?


BP has been running TV...

In a nutshell, A T & T always has and always will suck. Sonic is awesome!

Actually, I believe the derogatory remarks about Japanese products were more prevalent in the 60's. By the 1970's auto imports from Japan were way up and so was the quality.

Of the $17.6 trillion of Chinese GDP, about $16 trillion of it is low-quality crap that's not worth its price tag. Clothing, household products and electronics that fall apart in a year or so top the...

This is deplorable. Unfortunately, it's the kind of thing I've come to expect from a once-great country.

NO!!! Not for the planet, not for health, not for saving money. I draw the line at the insect world.

"Not ALLOWED to have one"? Why would you want one? They emit powerful radio pulses every 3.7 seconds, causing head pain, chest pain, palpitations, arrhythmia, anxiety and restless sleep for those...

I didn't listen to Obama's speech, but I support the extermination of all ISIS members. When even Al Qaeda thinks these beings are crazy MF's, that's a good sign that the world has to be rid of...

First of all, it's important to be gainfully employed. I think the best process is to apply for a credit card with a modest credit limit. Use the card on a regular basis, but only within your...

I feel no shame for my belief.

I always believed that the development of settlements by Israel has been a deterrent to a peace solution, but the real bashing needs to be done to the international terrorist group, Hamas. The...

That's so f***ed! All you hear in the media is how the Palestinians in Gaza are terrified and suffering because of the Israeli rocket strikes. Is ANYONE commenting or writing about the terror...

What happened? It was a leaderless movement. No leaders, no movement. It's a shame because everything that we protested against has only gotten worse.

Thank you, Larry. Your post prompted me to write to Sens. Chesbro and Evans, urging them to vote against AB 2145. It took all of five minutes to do and I urge anyone who wants to keep Sonoma Clean...

Despite the powerful food preparers lobby in the state, that would be great for California. If a measure like that passed, it could have the kind of clout similar to vehicle emission standards. ...

You can download a program called Malwarebyes [for Windows], which has a free version that does a very thorough job of scanning your drives and cleaning viruses off.

I totally agree with you. I've been against nuclear power plants since the days when Ralph Nader came to San Francisco to warn about them. We don't need another Fukushima on our hands. When you...

Hi, Folks. This post isn't directly related to the SmartMeter issue, but does relate to future P G & E bills. I'm pasting a portion of an email I received this morning from Mark Toney, the...

You should've just signed up for the opt-out plan and made no mention of the nonpayment of the potentially unconstitutional fees. I never did and never have paid them.

If you opted out of the Smart Meter program, you should have seen a separate charge appearing on the FRONT page of your monthly bill. On my November statement I didn't see the charge on that page. ...

I think the Mayans just ran out of time when they were putting together their calendar. I believe NOTHING will happen on December 21st. It's just like the harmonic convergence that was talked up in...

The citizens of San Bruno have started a petition asking Gov. Brown to remove Michael Peevey from the board of the CPUC, citing incompetence in the handling of PG & E's responsibility for the deadly...

Barry, I share your disappointment. My opinion from the outset is that nothing would be accomplished unless the movement coalesced into an effort to focus on our elected officials and demand that...

Alex, ever since my sister became very ill from a bank of many SmartMeters close to her residence, I've been opposed to them. Two meters were installed on my home while I was renting it, which...

I've yet to pay my last two P G & E bills because of my deep fondness for the company. When I do pay, I will specifically omit the one-time only fee and the monthly opt-out fee from my payment, just...

I had my Smart Meters removed several months ago. Last month P G & E charged me for the one-time opt-out fee and this month for the monthly fee. I still haven't paid either bill yet and am...

The terrain in Sebastopol varies quite a bit, from deep valleys to ridges. If you're up on a hill and mount a fringe-area TV antenna on your roof, you may be able to receive clear TV signals from...

I don't believe in diets. I think they create pent-up demand in people, leading to an endless cycle of dieting and binging (and I'm not referring to search engines!). I've never had a weight...

There could be a couple of causes for your symptoms. We've had an unusually mild winter this year and higher pollen counts could be to blame. Also, another culprit could be the aerial spraying...

Neil DeGrasse Tyson is at once brilliant and entertaining. I LOVE listening to that man!

Google United Nations Agenda 21 and you'll find a wide spectrum of viewpoints about its goals and impacts. At first glance it seems like a well-intentioned strategy for saving our planet, and then...

I've been taking an interest in this subject for several months. Here is a website with a lot of information about this: <cite>californiaskywatch.com</cite> You're going to find it very disturbing. ...

The mainstream media didn't want to touch this story. Wall Street has an iron grip on this country and the major networks and cable channels know which side of their bread is buttered. However, it...

To continue the driver discussion, there are a lot of lousy drivers on the road. I'm not referring to speeding because I believe speed isn't so much the problem as poor judgement, impulsive...

No. Tinnitus doesn't just show up at my house and stop when I'm sleeping elsewhere. It's a common symptom of exposure to SmartMeters. Sure exposure to loud sounds like a very loud rock concert can...

Go to the following website: emfsafetynetwork.org. Right on the first web page is a place to file a complaint with the PUC. I did so this morning and recommend that anyone against SmartMeters do it...
