    Tasers, Airplanes and Health Insurance

    My son goes to a school where a cop roams the halls, there are cameras everywhere, and they have had events where no one is alowed to leave a classroom for hours at a time while every locker is ransacked. This is rural Maine, I can't imagine what it is like in urban areas now. I would...

    "Thirty Things that Need to Stage a Comeback"

    So often thogh it is the loud mouth that gets the raise and promotion. If you ever need to speak to the manager of a retail store nine times out of ten some guy comes out bellowing "How can I help you!!"

    BUY BUY BUY is also why that article was written; someone has to pay the bills. Another great help with the computer is the ability to find parts. Anyone with a computer should never go to a retail or parts store unless they need something right away. I drive an old Jaguar, and when I need...

    This generation of kids...

    I feel completely the opposite. I went to college to get an education, not for any economical reasons. I felt then and still feel that no one should use higher education as a trade school.

    Question: Tipping in Restaurants, for Services, ??

    Good advice for dealing with any service sector/retail employee. So many of them hear no end of attitude from customers over things they have no controll over; special orders that don't arrive, or checks that can't be approved.

    Autos of Never-were

    That sounded sort of negative, should have prefaced my comments by saying I like your ideas for a solid simple "peoples car"

    Autos of Never-were

    Carburetors really shouldn't be touched by most people, extremely easy to throw out of whack, and dificult to get back to proper running after.

    I'm stuck in the 80s...automotively

    Surprised you noticed the the wheel on the alfa. The adjuster is broken. The engine on that has dropped a valve. I gave the car to my 13 year old as a project. I have enough extra parts that it should be a pretty straight forward rebuild for him. The jaguar has the straigt 6 XK engine. the...
