    NY tolls

    Help me out in understanding this a little bit. Please explain, as you would to a child, how not going at all will actually get you from I-78 to JFK. I'm very curious about this concept, about how you can not go somewhere, and yet still, somehow, get there. This isn't a "what's cheaper, going...

    Interesting concept

    I like the idea of having an entrance exam to determine if kids are allowed go to high school or not. I know a lot of people who would fail that one on purpose. :D

    You might be a Wall Street Occupier if....

    Excellent list of the most common misconceptions of what OWS was and is all about, undoubtedly written by someone who doesn't understand the inherent problems with the federal government, banking, health care, and insurance industries all being in the same bed together, and by someone who goes...

    January Banter and Location

    I'm stayin' home the rest of the week. Waiting on a part for the Sprinter. Little plastic connector to the headlamp bulbs cracked and the wires won't stay connected. Enjoying the time at home. I'm not here much.

    Mercedes MBE 4000 Glow Plugs?

    If the battery charger is a Smart Charger, then it's best to leave the charger on all the time when at home, as it will "trickle charge" the batteries to keep them topped off, but will not over charge them.

    Michele Bachmann halts presidential campaign

    Careful? Family forum? This is a very conservative, very religious lady, eating a corn dog at the Fair. What can be more family-friendly than that?

    Michele Bachmann halts presidential campaign

    Since Baghdad Bachmann is bow-wowing out despite her masses upon growing masses of supporters, and the Doggie Sunglasses, and these Corn Doggies she's really enjoying, this looks like the last opportunity to post these gems. I had hoped for a confrontation between her and Cain, which would have...

    Iowa Caucus

    I'm not sure how a state Republican primary, which has nothing to do with the Democrats, benefits Democrats, or Obama, in any way. As for it being "just" a Caucus, you realize that a Primary and a Caucus both accomplishes the same things, right? Both select delegates for the Convention. The...

    Article-restaurants to expand into truck stops

    It actually starts with how much, and what, one decides to shovel into their pie hole. If the portion is too large and they eat it all anyway, that's their call, not the restaurant's. The problem with truckers and fat people in general is not portion control, it's (A) excessive carbs and (B)...

    Letter To The GOP

    Precisely. Whether they trash it or frame it, they're in their own little world, and it's getting smaller and smaller in direct proportion as the people's frustrations grow larger and larger.

    Letter To The GOP

    If the letter is real, and it gets filled out and sent, and if the Lofgren piece has any validity at all, the GOP will laugh at it and throw it in the trash. Or frame it as an Achievement Award.

    Sprinter Van for Sale

    No, no, no. You can't join up up here and a few days later dig up a 5½ year old thread just to take a pot shot at someone. And don't say you didn't realize how old the thread was, 'cause that'll just make you look even more stupid than the cheap pot shot does.

    Why does the phrase, "ignorance is bliss" come to mind? Don't really care. Well, that certainly showed me, didn't it! You Cookie Monster, you. Hey, say whatever you want. It won't get me bounced. :D

    Children and "home school"

    I've met donaddemt and his son. Mid-teens, well grounded, good kid. Last resort? Possibly, but it's one that gives this family an opportunity for a fresh start out of a bad situation. There's certainly no guarantee they'll succeed in expediting, as we all know, but if they can, they'll come out...

    Well, you can certainly learn additional information (and perspectives) by bouncing ideas off others, but it's near impossible to learn more by doing that than it is by going to the actual source of the information. Thinking you can learn more by bouncing ideas off others (rather than going to...

    The prevailing thought is that since they were in a structured program in 2003, that by now they would be on the verge of a nuclear weapon. But there is nothing in the report to indicate Iran is, in fact, on the verge. They might be, tho.

    Winter wipers on a Sprinter

    That way, the wiper blades slice along the Slushbusters like a knife on a steel, and at about the same angle. ;)
