It might have been clean a few days ago but unless someone changes something radically it's going to be a never ending battle to keep it clean

Just replaced our car battery on Thursday at Advance. Free checkup of the old one that was from Advance 6 years ago. No charge for the changeout either. My son is a mechanic and recommended we stay...

Unless somebody can get a grip on the spam bots this site is going to become meaningless. Where's admin??

I bought a Craftsman almost 15 years ago and so far the only thing I've done to it is clean the air filter and replace a short piece of vinyl tubing. It wasn't very expensive but it is fairly...

My wife and I like to travel. I've been in 27 states and she's been in about the same number but some different. She was married previously and went with her first husband to a few states I haven't...

Right now I just put in whatever plants I can fin locally, usually a few yellow, beefsteak, Early Girl and this year we're going to try grape. They're great in salads. I don't put them out until...

We hung a hummingbird feeder in our flower bed and actually have several that visit regularly. We tried last year but none showed up. We also have a lot of chipmunks. The year before last we had a...

As government gets bigger it gets more intrusive. If it stopped passing laws tomorrow none of the politicians would get re-elected because they were do-nothings. There's always someone with a...

We moved from a farm about 14 years ago and starry nights are one of the few things we miss. We're actually only a couple of miles away from it but in a bit of a valley with surrounding trees so the...

Carolyn, my daughter used to live in Ontario. We'd visit every year and one thing I could never figure out was that although a lot of our beef in the states comes from Canada, that same beef bought...

Using one can get confusing sometimes. I've found in the few times I used mine that it requires me to multi-task in a hurry and I get flustered. A few times I relied on my own judgement rather than...

I reported the spam several days ago and happy to say it's gone for now. I don't think I was the only one who complained. I've seen a number of great sites brought down, several for a long period of...

I bought a GPS a few years ago when we were planning to move out of state to help us get around. I think I've used it twice to find a specific location. My wife hates it. Having one installed...

My daughter and I have both been collecting them and we swap off. She's a lot more active at it than I am so she has more of them, especially the newer ones of parks and possessions.

So many threads, too little time.

For years I used a small Hibachi, they were cheap to buy and didn't need much charcoal. I liked the taste a lot more than with gas. The last several grills we...

Renovator's Supply carries a wide variety of reproduction replacements. You can view their catalog on line at rensup.com. Depending on your location you may be able to find a demolition company...

For quite a few years I've been dumping all of my grass cuttings and mulched leaves in a heap at the side of one of my flower beds. The soil was really poor in that area so every year in the spring...

We bought a house 14 years ago that had been unheated for several years. The first thing we did was have new carpet installed. Within about 6 months we started to have a soft spot in one area....

I used self adhesive carpet tiles to cover the floor in our laundry room. There are so many corners that it was much easier than trying to cut one solid piece to fit. I did this on the recommendation...

Way back about 40 years ago when I was a Scout leader we used to have a winter Klondike. All of the kids from the district competed using their Scout skills. The price of admission was a can of soup....

I started collecting stamps when I was about 8 or so. When I was in high school I started buying from my friend's dad, who was a small time stamp dealer. He got me some really good buys and I...

My wife bought me a Makita 9.6V in 1988 or so. Quick charge and long battery life. I bought an extra battery and with one hour charging I was never without and it never let me down. It's retirement...

Somewhere in between. The wife and I are in our 60's and while we'd like to have some privacy we also don't want to be in the middle of nowhere in case of medical emergency, etc. A quarter mile or so...

The repair kits from HD usually aren't worth a hill of beans. I used to make a lot of faucet repairs for hire and I made sure to purchase only brand name parts or I'd be back in short time to do it...

My Dad had a garden from the time I was just a couple of years old, back in the 40's. When I got older, probably in my early teens, I started developing an interest in gardening. We had lots of...
