Washer dryer would effect her in her renting situation as well. And if she could DIY repair the walls she would be saving much more.

This sums it up pretty much the way I was thinking.

It's more the radio chatter that you have to get used to than anything else.

You really think those people care about anyone but themselves? They don't care about their kids, they just want to ensure that their kids will have their money.

Well put. The only issue is that our government (especially the USA) doesn't listen to science, reason, or logic. It listens to money. Until it can figure out how to make millions every year with green energy, it won't worry about it.

2 for me, but 4 at my previous job (restaurant - left it for career security)

It's pretty insane that they let people out on a hot track. Just throw a debris flag and let them go around it.

You need more flag colors than just red. Never worked a TT?

Could they have at least synced up the freaking sound on that james bond video? Jesus.

Has anyone ever run a top fuel dragster in the mile? I'd be interested to see A: if they could last for a whole 10 seconds, and B: how incredibly fast they would go.

I like the part about the truck driver. It's impressive what a little bit of life changing weight loss can do to turn a person's outlook on life around.

I'm impressed with this article, Alan, you did a great job on this one.

I wanted to start one to fund a renovation for my house... I don't think they would let me :(

Go to a LBS and sit on a few different bikes to get a feel for about what size frame you need (i'm assuming you'll be a casual rider). Then hit craigslist and get last years goodness for a steep discount.

Judging by the photo in the op, start bending your hands backwards as much as possible so you can actually shift/brake and rest your hands on the hoods...

Vapor barrier + a false floor and you're good. At least I would imagine.

BlueLight has it right, get those things refinished. It will be probably the same cost if you were to lay your own new flooring on top, and you'll get a much better finished product.

Not if you're getting them farm fresh.

This is what I did at work. At home, I just put the whole box in there. That's why it's designed with the little thing, to dispense.
