    To those who change shower heads

    Sorry, nice try, but that dog don't hunt. It wasn't merely a question, since there is clearly no answer. It was an asinine question asked as a challenge. It was simply a rewording of the equally asinine, "You're not the boss of me," routine that people come up with when they don't like their...

    Mercy killing is not a crime – it is a brave and selfless act of love

    There is nothing more needless than a needful person who needs a needle.

    Dispatcher03 ???

    Drive-by's have been banned after a single posting. Multinamed people have been banned after not many more. I have a feeling that Dispatcher guy came back and said something he shouldn't have, or they caught him using multiple names. I didn't see it, but it looked like he was about to tangle...

    I'm no mechanic

    Fleebay? Puhleeze. Why pay for something when you can download it for free? :D As for coolant, don't just go buying coolant based on the color. Sheesh. New engines and their coolants are designed with each other in mind. Just because you have an aluminum engine doesn't mean you need this or...

    Help, Classroom DVD about trucking.

    Well, you could show them Hoffa, the 1992 movie with Jack Nicholson & Danny DeVito. That should give them good insight into the trucking business. :D There's this, but I haven't seen it. I have seen Twenty Trucks, though. More for younger kids, but there might be something in there you can...

    Mercy killing is not a crime – it is a brave and selfless act of love

    Too late, they're already involved. It's just that at this point they are only involved in telling you that you can't pull the plug. Sometimes that gets changed to you can. The bigger problem is when it gets changed to you must. A DNR in a living will eliminates most problems, except when...

    I'm no mechanic

    There are lots of things I'll repair on the van, and lots that I won't. The last thing I want to have happen is for me to do something that makes things, or something else, worse. You can do something that creates another problem, but unless you know how to fix that problem, too, it can become a...

    Spokeo.com - BEWARE!

    Well, it's not unsafe. :D It's just an aggregator, nothing more. Unless you actually give it more information that it already has, it won't steal any from you. If nothing else, it's worth going there just to see how much of your information is easily and widely available to others. DO several...

    US environmental agency revokes mine's permit for mountaintop removal

    Small point of correction... Obama never said he would 'kill the electric production industry', (electricity can be produced by hydro, wind, solar, or nuclear) but he did say two things: One, that he wanted to spike electric prices to curb its use by the public, and that he wanted to "bankrupt"...

    Spokeo.com - BEWARE!

    People really need to be more aware of protecting their privacy on the Internet. Kids these days (I sound like an old fart) could care less, for the most part, and share far too much information about themselves. Spokeo is an aggregator, much like Google, where they gather together already...

    Arizona shooting victim makes death threat

    Even if you saw someone do it, even if you captured it on video, until a judicial authority has rendered a decision, a suspect or defendant has not been proved guilty of the charges or allegations against him. Not only is it unethical (for a reporter, certainly, especially a reporter who did...

    I'm no mechanic

    You're welcome. I figure too much information is better than not enough. :D Low Idle speed is around 680 RPM (.3 gallon per hour). The factory High Idle speed, which you can have a dealer program into the ECM, is 2000 RPM (1.0 GPH). 2000 RPM will definitely keep soot from building up, but...

    I'm no mechanic

    The old style EGR valve (03 and I think 04) can be cleaned. The new style (what you have) cannot. Well, it can be cleaned, but cleaning will do absolutely no good whatsoever, since the new style has a self-cleaning function that opens and closes twice after the engine has been shut off to...

    Arizona shooting victim makes death threat

    “It looks like Palin, Beck, Sharron Angle and the rest got their first target. Their wish for Second Amendment activism has been fulfilled.” – Eric Fuller, Tuscon shooting victim, the day before the Town Hall Meeting. [Seems a little on the idiot side, to me.] Towards the end of an...

    Several times in several ways. :D Can you hold your nose and hum the Battle Hymn of the Republic? You'll be an Internet star if you've got a Webcam. You'll go virtually veritably viral, but in a good way.

    Panel says women should be allowed in combat units

    One of the girls, I saw her prom picture from high school. She looked like Barbie. Now, she looks more like Conan the Barbarian. Her girlfriend looks like Barbie, tho.

    Panel says women should be allowed in combat units

    I know a couple of gals at Fort Campbell who routinely put the real men to shame. Of course, they pretty much look like real men, tho.

    To those who change shower heads

    Well stomp my foot and throw a temper tantrum in the candy aisle. So, you've run out of excuses and justifications for rude, inconsiderate and selfish attitudes and behaviors, and now you're going to attack me instead? Really? Just ignore all that other crap, and come directly at me? Seriously...
