I had the same question, but then I remembered this neat trick using Chrome.
- Highlight the text (in this case, Warren Haynes-Derek Trucks)
- Right click on the highlighted text
- Select the menu option that reads "Search Google for 'Warren Haynes-Derek Trucks'"
Suddenly, a new browser tab opened up with the answer to my question! It took all of 3 seconds, and I had my answer before lunchtime :)

Most all modern browsers do this.

Perhaps! Then again damn near any browser is far better than Chrome.

I like how someone mentions something in a thread and then person #2 asks for further details and someone else says to google it. If you just know the reason why don't you post it so everyone will know?

You don't hate your job. You just hate the lookie lous (except for the hot young men).
lookie lous? you know thats a rupaul term? good lord, rb . . . good lord.
Never heard it in that context before. I always heard it used by real estate people. So this is a double header for you then! So at least in one sense of reality you go both ways…
(I was actually going to hit the drag race show but my friend Kim is not doing so well with her fibro and her husband Doug just had spinal fusion. Thus the road trip is not possible. That show owuld be quite interesting to see I am sure.)

No browser is any more or less secure than any others. They all have weaknesses. The hunk was trying to hit on you and you missed it!

Did I ever tell you that I voted NO to the ballot question about banning same sex marriage in VA? Even though I am opposed to same sex marriage, the issue was worded in a way that I could not vote for it. Basically the question was worded so that it said (paraphrasing) "The Virginia constitution shall NEVER be amended to allow same sex marriage". Had they left the word NEVER out I could have voted for it. Anyway, I am happy for you and hope that if the day ever does come that VA allows same sex marriages that y'all have a wonderful ceremony.

We just happen to see things differently. In this case it does have a direct impact on you personally but as you well know my views are not personal towards you or anyone else nor are they based on hate. I am pretty sure that the day will come when same sex marriage is allowed in all states. If that is what most people want and it gets voted in then that is what should happen.

Might be a long time for this passes in VA….the rednecks still outnumber the NOVA population.
But that's changing
last election made it seem like VA was a blue state…
