Re: Halloween

Greg, I almost hate to say I also soaped windows and when soap was not available, I'd borrow my grandma's Gulf Wax to do the deed. I live in dread that that the kids I paid it forward to would do my windows. I guess not having it done is a fortunate byproduct of the kids being lazy these days, or th...

Re: Stephane Grappelli And Barney Kessel

Mine's pictured in my avatar. The vacuum tubes generate heat, which sends old radio scents (mouse P, spider poop and surface deposits on the tubes into the air. The scent gradually diminishes, but the heat remains.

It's a rolling support for walking. It also has a seat to rest while out and about. https://dmesuperstore.com/products/medline-european-style-aluminum-ultralite-rollator?variant=48360420868319&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organ...

Re: Plenty To Do In Retirement

During late September, I had the house painted. That made quite an improvement. I had to remove the insulation film from the windows to open the double hung windows for painting as well. They painted them well. The first part of October, I had to cut the dried paint on the windows that were gluing t...

Re: Beyond Popular Sciences' Wildest Predictions

I'd like to see someone carjack one of those. I look at what it does and am amazed that they have put together a automobile with that ability. Using compressed air. Compressed air that the car can compress repeatedly on demand. It's too bad it has been introduced now, when AI can fake the demonstrat...

Re: How plain do I need to make it?

Can one message the prospective member that their postings will begin to appear after the location requirement is met? (This is not a rhetorical question.) :-)

Re: New member, Doug Peterson, McHenry, IL

Great pictures! That is a very nice console. It's also great to see the RCA bound LP sets. I have each of the Glenn Miller sets and Their Army Air Force set on CD reissue. They sound so good on such a console. Welcome to the forums!

Re: Plenty To Do In Retirement

I'm going in to try PT again. I can manage my pain somewhat with prescribed and OTC meds. I need to get some exercise for my legs. On a positive note, I had my house painted. It looks pretty good too. I was worried about my color choices, but they worked out fine. My sister wanted a picture, so I ha...

Re: Another scam

Good advice! Time and necessity broke me from getting physical gift cards, but E gift cards are a good means of avoiding purchasing tapped out physical cards. They are appreciated just as much and are easily used online which is convenient for older folks like some of us. ;)

Re: Plenty To Do In Retirement

The end of August, I saw a retinologist at the eye clinic. He said the only treatment for my eye trouble would be an operation that would present more dangers than hope. I had another smaller fall about then that has set me back some. My legs are weakened somewhat and I've bought a steel ramp for my...

Re: YIPPEE!! Car show season starts with $5 gas

I always get gas at the Costco here. It's $3.83 this morning. This is like when I used to buy rationed gas at the AAFES stations in Germany. I can't afford to buy gas on the local economy. :)

Re: 30 American companies that have vanished

Sad stories. It seems that every company no matter how large, has a "death gene" that will overtake it. No business is too big to fail.
