    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Most cars today do not have accessable spark plugs. Spark plug replacement runs around $400 for labor on some cars.

    Pro and Cons of Mortgage Strategic Defaults.

    It is not the specifics of the collection laws that I feel makes it a good example. It is the fact it is the money loaned rather than the value of the purchased that determines the debt. Cars depreciate at such a great rate that almost all auto loans are upside down. In todays market most...

    What is your favorite Scotch Whisky?

    Sorry if that sounded to anyone like I was saying that it was not good to drink Glenfiddich. I only meant that it is a good whisky to start someone on to see if they like the basic taste of whisky. When I re-read my post I realized how abrasive it sounded, sorry. The strong overtones of...

    Good example of what I was trying to convey.

    Pro and Cons of Mortgage Strategic Defaults.

    If the debt is incurred then there is an obligation to repay the debt. If there is a default there is someone who is owed the money that will not get money that they are due. The original loan had terms that were agreed to by the buyer. The buyer recieved the money and bought the house (which...

    Pro and Cons of Mortgage Strategic Defaults.

    The legal matter should be done at the advice of lawyers and accountants. From a moral standpoint it should be considered that the money was borrowed and the money should be repayed with the agreed upon interest. Here is an example of the basis of my opinion of this. If I put money in my...

    I'm Tired Of This Number....

    Sod roofs were first used to prevent rotting of the roof shingles. If the sod has a good peat or clay base it will keep air from reaching the roof. With modern materials it makes even better sense but I hope the proper materials were used.

    Members in Uniforms Part 2

    Timeline events like that are held a few places on the East coast of the US. Last spring I judged for the post-1880 food at one of those events. It was like a history of corned beef and cabbage but I was told last year Spam was in all the meals.

    Wanted: Labyrinthine Store, not to code

    Get a government contractor to bid on a design for a spacious building with easy access and open spaces with a minimal number of rooms. That should get it done for you.

    The only thing that goes in a whisky glass is more whisky.

    Ban Charlie Brown

    Every character in Charlie Brown had flaws and they all knew each other's flaws. They continued friendship despite their "bullying". Perhaps it is a good example of how to cope with life rather than obsessing about things that are said in a manner that is not perfect.

    Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?

    After Hurricanes around here I have been really surprised at how much my neighbors worked together. Guys who I would never expect to pitch in were helping me clear downed trees in other people's yards. Sometimes one person starting a positive action will get others to join in. On the...

    Countdown To Thanksgiving

    Good point, it can just seem like a waste of time if you are not around the right people. It is really about acting as a community in preparing the feast and joining together to eat it. I have had Thanksgivings that are just not worth while and I have had some that were great. The best...

    Foyle's War UK WW II period police drama

    I love the way they work so many details of coping with everyday life during the war into the plots without making them seem forced. And the clothing looks great on folks from all walks of life is well done.

    Countdown To Thanksgiving

    My family will be staying in a military vacation rental cottage. On Thanksgiving day we are planning on going back to an old family tradition and eating at the Chow Hall. Anyone who has ever had Thanksgiving in the military will know how good a Thanksgiving dinner is on base. I will cook the...

    If they are not there can you issue a bench warrent and have them brought to class in shackles? That would add realism to the course.:eeek:

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Too late. It was in Portsmouth, VA. It was Carolina BBQ but they also did a tomato based chopped pork. It was in a really interesting neighborhood called Cradock. It is a turn-of-the-century planned development. The central square does not have very many businesses open and much is...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    This weekend I was working an event with the Sheriff in an area that was a decaying neighborhood a few years ago. The local Scouts do a BBQ as a fund raiser at the event each year. The scouts who were cooking were wearing informal work wear but all the others, and the Scoutmasters were all in...
