  What derogatory names do you have for your local newspapers?

  0 0 Because of their apparent unwillingness to read the writing on the wall (regarding the longterm viability of newspapers in the internet age), some of us call the Denver Post the "Ghost." Matt from Denver answered in Whatever 19 days ago Answer, comment & read 9 more answers »

  Do you remember the names of co-workers at places you hated to work?

  1 0 Do you have this problem with other acquaintances - not just ones who worked at bad jobs? Because I'm TERRIBLE at remembering names and this kind of thing happens a lot to me. Unless I think about you when I'm not engaging with you, it's just very hard for me to remember names of people I'm not close with.

  what does everyone think of the new 3-downvote limit per day?

  1 0 I'm a part time contributor at best, so take that into consideration. But I've never found reason to hand out more than three downvotes in a day here. If there are that many bad answers out there, I think enough people can hand out downvotes without it become some dogpile. (I know one user who used to get them all the time - it was probably gratuitous and unnecessary for everyone to do that.)

  Family Tree Stuff. My niece's baby? I am her Grand Aunt or Great Aunt?

  0 0 Great Aunt. Aren't you the sibling of your niece's mom or dad (that is, the baby's grandmother's/father's sister?) Matt from Denver answered in Other Family & Kids about 1 month ago Answer, comment & read 2 more answers »

  0 0 I once bought a mattress set at Ikea when I was living in Greenwood. We strapped it to the hood and decided to avoid the freeways. I took 167, which becomes Rainier, all the way to NE 45th Street in the fashion you describe to get it home. (Went to Aurora Ave from there.) Matt from Denver commented 3 months ago

  Local place for a new tire or tire repair?

  1 0 Discount Tire company always fixes flats for free. If you're sure the tire isn't too worn out (thus requiring purchase of a new set of tires), I'd go there. (Unfortunately it looks like Northgate Way is as close as they are to the CD. Don't drive on the freeway with your spare, because they're not safe over 45 or maybe 50 mph.) Hopefully your rim is okay - how long is "a while?" Matt from Denver answered in Cars & Motorcycles 3 months ago Answer, comment & read 3 more answers »

  Feedback (and a tip) about the Questionland Redesign?

  20 0 I'd rather that the questions take up the bigger column on the left and the latest answers the smaller column on the right. I'm more interested in seeing the newer questions first and that latest answers second. Otherwise, I think it looks good.
