I was there for the last wage and price control.
Similar to today, the taxes had already gone up, the insurance had already gone up, the rents had already gone up, the food, fuel and utilities had already gone up. THEN they locked down the working class wages along with prices. All it...
You are in the right lane.
The Psych textbooks are full of case studies where people have done well after tragic experiences when there is strong loving support for the long term after it. Be that strong loving support crafting their future.
Since you can do nothing about what has...
Especially when starting, DON"T GET IN A HURRY! take your time to understand each step. If it takes you 5 evenings to load your first box of pistol ammo, that is fine. Better than making bad ammo that does not feed, sticks a bullet or blows up a firearm, maybe hurting you.
When I started...
That is what I believe also. So if your department budget is behind and the pressure is on, the legal system has issued incentive to "legally" confiscate other people's property. That ain't right.
Like when I had my motorcycle stolen and I kept checking if they found it. I did find it, in a...
After trying many creams for back pain, a guy in the nursing home told me about CDB oil pain stick for muscle aches. Again, nothing that makes you high, just a natural oil that helps with muscle tightness. It is kind of a waxy thing in a plastic dispenser like a Mennon deodorant stick. Rubs...
We have so many people that are fixed on a responsibility free view of citizenship.
The ends of the opinions are: if you don't smoke at all, you will never have any negative effects, but if you do smoke you will become a junky. And certainly some irresponsible people have.
I have known high...
Let's not forget the business in Logansport that legally build batmobile clones that had his business frozen when a politically connected California customer tried to screw him over.
Life,
I have to look up and down load that information, and when the system is down, you cannot retrieve it. If they have had a mandatory password change since you logged on last, it often takes 24 hours before they let you log on again. When my financial information was hacked in 1998, it was...
I know exactly where that little house is because I used to live 13 blocks from there. That is not the worst part of town, it is west of Broadway on 2300 Andrew Jackson Ave, near Roosevelt park. The fact that this crime against a tourist shows how much the place has failed since Hatcher and...
Since those breakers have to slam in or pull out instantly to avoid an explosion from arcing, there is a heck of a strong mechanism to load those springs, that works quite a bit of mass. Most of that mechanism that you see is to load and unload the springs.
The post WWII Allis Chamlers brand...
Big Pharma used to be very accurately called the "Patent medicine" business. As such they will never spend a dime to sell something they cannot control profits with a patent, even if it is healthier for the patients. They do not love humanity.
Sadly, the food manufacturing business seems...
No one cared when it was Black Jazz musicians smoking grass. (reefer madness was one of at least 18 songs about smoking between 1927 and 1945. )
When college kids started smoking rather than studying, the wealthy dads that paid the tuition got pretty up in arms. In 1937, the government was...
I think this is more evidence of the desire of high ranking people to demonize cash. It goes clear back to the 1970 RICO laws that vilified cash over $10,000. Of course when it was made that would buy TWO new Buicks and some arm candy to ride in them Inflation has brought that amount down to...
I have seen a landscaping spike go through a tire and puncture the rim also, but the hole was jagged in both the tire and the rim and the mangled spike was still there.
Scary deal all the way around.
I will not pay document fee. Filling out the paper work is THEIR Job, there is NO value added for me. I sure will not pay sales tax on it. If they act like it is impossible, I tell them I want $200 to sign the back of my title.
I NEVER talk to the finance man, period. If they say I...
I have been trading with the same coin shop for several years. Theirs has been sitting on the back counter all that time. They check everything they buy.
The Mrs, called an outfit like that. In addition to the spot price, and in addition to the premium, was an additional annual fee for vault rental. "yes ma'am, that is how it is done, and we have the cheapest annual fee in the business".
Prostate health is really important, and this is not the first report documenting the benefit of regularly exercising the system.
I figured the subject would eventually go where it has, but I didn't anticipate it would have gotten here so fast. Pretty hard for the old guy to keep up in this...
1957 Chevy 200 inches. 1957 Plymouth 204 inches, 1957 Ford 203 inches,
1957 Lincoln 224 inches, 1957 Cadillac 224.
Three or Four inches shorter is a big deal in some things, but not in sedans.
