I bet that they are nice on cool days. I don't keep up with fashions or trends all that much but when I saw these jackets I know I could use one, trendy/fashionable or not. Anyone have one?

It costs MUCH MORE in fuel, to make gasoline additives out of our food source, than they realize in ethanol. (In other words, it takes more than a gallon of fuel, to make a gallon of alcohol.) For the few of you that don't know, "ethanol" is grain alcohol, the active ingredient in "a...

You can buy a tube of Ibuprofen gel (which really works) over the counter in Britain for less than $10 but the similar product here is by prescription only and costs over $300 for the same quantity. That is wrong! Oooo that sounds like something I'd like to try. How is it used, for arthritis? What ...

Conservatives should back it for the 50% or more cost reduction and better care. Liberals should back it since most believe healthcar...

"The author bemoaned the high precision that was coming into the WW world, specifically the use of milling machines in custom furniture. He advocated very little measuring at all, doing most things by eye and comparison and milling lumber all at the same time, story boards, etc." I don't ...

All I know is I have great insurance which I pay $34 a paycheck for, and I'm going to have to pay another ~$5.50 per paycheck in govt fee because our company self insures. Not sure what that has to do with the price of tea in China.

That is a legit tool, but not for DIY. If you need that level of precision you should get out your mic or digital calipers.

Anyone else miss GWB?steve I don't remember where I heard it, but someone said they miss W because his screw ups were out in the open. No one is perfect, I think things would be better (or more palatable) if the current govt would stop trying to convince us otherwise. I swear no one in our govt has...
