"Go redd-up your room!", as in clean up - spoken to me many times by my Mom in my childhood home in western PA...

I was watching as well...brought back some memories...

We still have 2 in our area. I believe both have the lunchtime buffets, and at least one has a liquor license to sell beer. I used to go to one that eventually closed about 3 years ago, haven't been to the others for quite some time. But that said, I'd hate to see them gone. In our college...

That's really cool. Maybe there'll be a revived market for these...!

In general I agree - too much nanny state already, no need to add more. But this is one I can get behind! There are plenty of viable, cost-effective, recyclable/bio-degradable alternatives to Styrofoam packaging for foods and beverages. McD's saw the light decades ago - time the rest of us...

May he now remain a teenager forever...

One thing I can add here - I think many/most "dry cleaners" actually launder the shirts. You might want to ask next time you're there. I found that out locally some years ago when it cost about $1.50 per for cleaning and "pressing" which I guess is actually ironing. (I believe that's how/when...

From the video evidence, I'd say apparently very well...! (At least when this clip was recorded...)

I believe this is inevitable. I'm guessing folks with "bad credit" tend to have limited resources, and banks really don't want to deal with that clientele even tho' the fees they are more likely to incur are profitable. Larger banks want to steer clients to their ancillary services like...

An interesting investigation is developing and we're "invited along for the ride" for the next week! I'm not sure where the text below originated so I'll quote it without a source. But the embedded link will be the developing story if you're interested... "Researchers on an expedition in...

Wow! I had no idea of his age. But then again I was introduced to "Take Five" in the 70s. That song really put a woofer to work with those bass drum "thuds". I wasn't a huge fan, but have appreciated some of his work over the years...

You need the heavier gauge at 12vdc to accommodate the higher current those low-voltage applications require, and over those distances. A 4 watt bulb draws .33 amp, higher wattages proportionately more. You can see how that could add-up when you get to 20 or 30 bulbs on a circuit. That kind...

I wish the Christmas Season didn't really begin to ramp-up until after Thanksgiving. As I was growing-up in the 'Burgh, I remember my mother dragging my sister and me into the city on Black Friday over many years, to see all the store window displays and do some shopping, and that became our...

I went to the dentist after a 20+ year hiatus somewhere in my late 30s. At that time all I did was brush once a day. I was getting to the point that every time I spit out after the brushing it was, shall I say, "rosy" (bleeding). And I had pain in my upper cheeks due to crooked wisdom teeth...

Wish we could discuss this one, but it will quickly move into Sonic Babble territory... Unfortunately I believe what is represented in this video is a lot more commonplace than we want to know, and not just in the rank-and-file...

How does this tap system compare to the Heineken Draught Keg? I have bought a couple of those and found them very well presented. I'm not a huge Heineken fan, but the system was great. Holds about 1 1/3 gal., a bit more than half a case of 12s. Pricey tho', around $20 in these parts. But a...

Maybe this replacement for your BF-60 lamp would work ?? Matches-up with your Weber model no. 23521 according to the cross-reference list. A little pricey, but your choice: http://2getitnow.com/FL-RK-60.html (I'm big on repairing older equipment that has served me well, even when a new...

Bob and Cathy - did you look into "fixed mobile convergence" ?? I'm not sure if that technology ever took off or maybe by now it's dead completely, but I believe that's in line with what you want. Google the term and see what it returns. Here's one (dated) hit... What is fixed-mobile...

And don't crawl back into the car anytime soon or you'll be bombed (again?) as well...!

Sorry I missed this thread earlier - navy, your scores are right in line with mine! My highest was 189 and I had a 188. The closest to those were in the 160s, IIRC. I gave it up some years back. Now that I had my rotator cuff repaired I should probably try it again. Heck - maybe I'll even...

An engine you could actually work on...and room under the hood to do it; rear seats with real legroom; a real spare tire...and room in the trunk for more; front and rear seats wide enough to sit four across; V8 engine with a 4bbl carb; 10 mpg but who cared or even measured it when a whole tank...

Interesting! Not something I'll bid on. Looks like it might use the venerable 2AP1A CRT however, of which I think I still have a spare in case anyone is looking...

Yes - orginally from the Raytheon folks whose business is (in part) radar. The microwave oven was invented by a guy at Raytheon who noticed how well a magnetron cooked popcorn and the rest is, as we say, history! Raytheon patented the design and acquired Amana, which sold the first consumer...

Tks for the posting. I, like starman, can add a chapter or two based on being almost twice as old as the author! TV was black & white, required a warm-up and fiddling with the rabbit ears, and sometimes also required a thump on the side to bring the picture back. The "remote control" was...

Definitely need some wordsmithing there! Ironic that the ad copy guys are ones usually making the big bux; this writer musta had burnt toast that morning...!
