If you grew up in the pre-MP3 era, chances are you had at least one go-round as a member of Columbia House's mail-order music club. Who could turn down the allure of eight compact discs (or 11 record albums or cassette tapes) for just a penny? It would be stupid not to join up! But how in the world did Columbia House make any money on the deal? You might be surprised with the answer. Learn more here: It's a Steal! How Columbia House Made Money Giving Away Music. Do you remember what your first shipment from Columbia House contained? I remember mine being an Eagles Live Double Album (which counted as 2 choices!) and The Clash.

Were you a fan of Bonanza? In 431 episodes spanning from 1959 to 1973, the Cartwrights of the Nevada Territory's Ponderosa became a fixture of American life. When it first premiered in 1959, the airwaves were saturated with sitcoms that depicted fathers as idiots managed by their wives. Creators insisted that the show be an hour long instead of a half hour in order to ensure that they had time to depict Ben Cartwright as a father figure worthy of respect. It worked, and Lorne Greene received thousands of fan letters from teenage boys who wished that he was their father. Here's a look at some more Bonanza Facts that you might not have known.

Armed with a spatula in one hand and a cold beer in the other, there's no better way to celebrate summer than by hosting a cookout with friends. Of course, a cookout is never truly a cookout without our beloved hamburger. Yet, for all of its simplicity, it’s one of those food items that can often fall flat. You know what I'm talking about: From the burgers that resemble hockey pucks, to those that taste like lighter fluid. So what makes a great burger? Find out here with: How To Build A Better Burger. So, what is a 'must have' for your burger? I'd say mine would be ketchup...lots of ketchup...and an onion. Perfect! I have a friend who won't eat her burger without peanut butter. I know, right?!?
