    Even though it looked like the weather today is the same as yesterday, closer examination revealed that it's actually raining today. You can't really tell from this picture I took about an hour ago, but there's fairly chilly precip that's acomin' down. I figured the proper response was a...

    The flight was 24 hours ago, and it wasn't as cold as it looks. It was around 59 degrees. Today, it looks the same outside but it's only 45.

    For coil-builders, a recommendation from me; something that's probably at least a little different from other setups that you use, and possibly VERY different. I really like it. This is a Smok X-Baby tank with the RBA head that's made for it. So far, I don't know of anywhere in the US that has...

    Anybody recognize the lyrics that I misquoted? According to the lyrics site I looked at yesterday the correct word is "sinks" rather than "sings", but that's not going to change what's been indelibly etched in my mind for the 46 years since the song was released. The music that accompanies the...

    Please keep us posted on how things work out with the BBB. I know so little about them that I didn't know they did any kind of post-purchase advocacy on behalf of consumers. I thought they were strictly a report compiling outfit that people consulted ahead of time to determine whether or not to...

    Thanks! This is now the 30th autumn that I've lived in the coastal plain of eastern NC, and I don't believe I've ever seen any significant leaf color changes this early in the fall. It's generally a different story in the western part of NC, where the elevation brings fall about a month...

    Yes, but the OP said there is no chance that the need for credit would ever be relevant to her situation. My comment was directed to her self-described situation, not to everyone's situation.

    My opinion on financial gurus is that anyone who claims to be one is by definition not one. Since you are both unwilling to pay the unjustified bill and unwilling to see your credit rating go down, your choice is narrowed down to pleading your case with each of the credit rating agencies once...

    Congrats rats! to the Houston Astros. Even though this is only the second time they will appear in a World Series, they are now the only team in Major League Baseball history to have won a National League championship AND an American League championship. Good luck to the Astros against the...

    I write as well as or better than I do anything else. Trying to speed it up takes all the fun out of it. Better to have fun half the time than none of the time.

    @Flowersoul; that didn't even sound like anger to me, it sounds like love and determination. @2legsshrt; it's great to hear you don't have to go so far out of your way for good care. @Diver9543; your greatgrand news brings joy to me also. @Kenna and @Debadoo; are you scared yet? Still, the home...

    Mark Koenig and Bob Meusel were the #2 and #5 hitters in the "Murderers' Row" Yankee lineup of the late 1920s. In 1927, the year that Ruth hit 60 home runs, the team batting average was .309 and Meusel batted .337. Thanks Google! Play ball!

    I know that you take great care to keep your name and personal info out of the public domain as much as possible, and that is surely why you're in a small group that can't be found within "the system" for age verification. For most of us, the verification can be done within seconds due to the...
