Some of these are simply amazing. I'm an amateur photographer and no where near on this level, but my newest fascination is trying to capture lightning. I've done it a few times, but these are just WOW!

Makes me long for a thunderstorm!

Oh, I don't need a nationally declared day for this. I do it every couple of months all on my own! It's very cathartic!

My cousin ran it. Didn't see him here though :)

@Rumson: I'm a jury duty lottery winner. Called up 7 times and counting... On the one case I was actually chosen for (a civil case) we were ordered NOT to take notes as well. I don't know why and I hated that. I concentrate better on long-winded speaking when I can jot down notes. If I can't, my mind tends to wander and it was so hard to keep focused those 5 days I sat on the jury. I've often wondered why sometimes you can take notes and sometimes you can't.

Nice laugh for this early morning!

Crime Scene Fleece Throw

I'm amazed at all of you who think "the blame should be placed on the mothers." There is NO blame here. It was an ACCIDENT, but unfortunately our litigious society sees nothing but dollar signs and is constantly looking to place the "blame."

Accidents happen. Move along.

BTTF was on late night cable just last night and I found myself staying up past midnight to watch it. It's one of my all time favorites. Love that Michael J. Fox.

I think neatorama is great and it's definitely a daily go-to for me. That being said, I have noticed more somewhat political type stories on here recently and I'd love to keep that off of this site. We as a country are divided enough right now (which ISN'T neat) that I don't want to see my favorite NEAT blog going in that direction.

Additionally, for me personally, I really get tired of all the cat stories. I know you guys love your cats and think everything cats do are cute and adorable and should be posted, but it's like the neighbor showing his vacation pictures. "Here we are walking up to the Eiffel Tower. Here we are walking closer to the Eiffel Tower. Here's the elevator to the Eiffel Tower. Here we are on the elevator to the Eiffel Tower. Here we are half-way up..." You get the idea.

And I know what cat-loving posters are going to say--Just skip those and move on. And I do. But that seriously limits the number of neat stories for me to check out each day!

Oh, for pity's sake. I have plenty of dishes that "serve food beautifully" that aren't diamond encrusted. What a waste!

@nutbastard and lulu: Thanks for putting my thoughts into words.

That being said, I get "fired up" enough with this ridiculous topic on my news websites, what the heck is it doing here on neatorama?

Come on neatorama, cut this crap out!

@DonW: I couldn't agree more. I hate that seats recline at all. I am invariably seated behind someone who reclines all the way and I'm left to stare at their hair follicles for my entire trip. (No, I don't recline my seat in response; I find it uncomfortable in that position, since my feet don't generally touch the floor)

And reclining seats on those smaller commuter jets often means I can't even lower my tray table there's so little space between rows.
