While travelling to my grandmothers funeral some years ago. A loud thumping noise began emanating from the front wheel of my notoriously awful Ford Ranger. (This thing was constantly breaking something: overheating leading to cracked heads, multiple transmissions, broken hubs, I could go on.)

Sorry, you’re right, my apologies. I must have missed that part as I was reading. She did use the Sea Bands nearly religiously during both pregnancies. She claimed they helped her a lot and that what made me try them for air sickness. Good thing she’s over it now. Lots of fresh grated ginger in a fruit smoothie is one…

I can’t tell you the science behind it but Ginger is helpful with all types of nausea. When my wife was pregnant with out first child I made her fruit smoothies loaded with ginger and her morning sickness was greatly reduced. (Unfortunately with our second she got to the point where she had eaten so much ginger while…

I’ll agree with this. Of all of the cookbooks in our kitchen this is the one that get’s opened most frequently. The metal binder spine has come loos from the cover and it looks a little worse for wear, but there’s never even been a discussion of getting rid of it. I haven’t had a recipe not turn out if I was following…

Can I just say how sad this article makes me? After sleeping on quality down pillows for years I simply cannot stand synthetic pillows. Quality sleep is just too important to spend nearly 1/3 of my life wrestling a crappy pillow.

Washing a feather pillow works fine, best to use a front load machine so there's no agitator to mess things up. At this point it is exactly what you said, a gross clumpy mess, so the hardest part of washing down is drying it. But like someone mentioned higher in the comments, use tennis balls and keep drying it until…

My apologies, I should have stated that better. You are right, we all served where we were needed and no one is any better than another. Heck as an aircraft maintainer I sit in neither of the two categories I so un-eloquently mentioned.

I don't know, while it is certainly the exception to the rule, but my brother and his wife traded in their aging Odyssey for a newer Pilot. Even with their four kids they felt like it was more practical. Of course they live in a very rural part of Colorado where they got their van stuck just getting out of their…

We discovered that the local library had a few of them to check out. Made life even easier. No purchasing required, a couple of weeks with it and we'd recorded all of the various devices we were curious about. What we discovered what that vampiric draw on most cell chargers and other similar items would barely even…

That's probably true, I can't say I've even been fortunate enough to sit in let alone drive any c2 vette. My opinion is based on looks alone.

While I like the rest of your list, I would have to add the 67 Stingray with the 427 in there somewhere. For me, the hood scoop and the vertical vents on the quarter panel bring the whole car together. That and 435 HP from the factory is pretty amazing too.

He did say an affordable Rally Fighter. As much as I love AEV and would buy a Quad Cab Brute 5 seconds after winning the lottery, have you seen what they charge to drop in a standard Hemi? It's basically the price of buying a second Jeep.

When I lived in Argentina several years ago I saw the Euro Socket, the Australian Socket, the Chilean Socket, and the UK socket all in use. Mostly Euro and Australian though.

No offense but I think ca cat would be more annoying than the crickets. (allergies... and we don't like cats)

How about crickets? We normally only get a handful into the house each summer, but this year there's probably been a few dozen. My wife is less than pleased with this...

Another DiSC Facilitator here, I also concur. Love the Johari window, and the random trivia that accompanies it.

An individual serving as an active reservist or guardsman would have the exact same military ID as any active duty personnel. On the other hand, I too don't like the "Active Duty Only" stipulation. Either offer the benefit or don't.

Most businesses that include all veterans will accept a DD 214 from those of us who've served but didn't stay until retirement. But As I just leared from Joshua's comment above, many states will place a veteran designation on the individual's drivers license. I figure if it's good enough for the great state of New…

FYI, the info for Lowes isn't exactly correct. They don't just offer the discount to Active and Retired. They'll give it to any Veteran. I've used it many times myself.

Thanks about a million times for this. I've been trying to figure out an alternative to my dd214 for years. It's not the kind of paperwork I like hauling around with me everywhere. Luckily, my state even participates in the program.
