It's interesting to watch some of these postings cropping up now. Many
are people testing their new Web construction skills or wanting to
learn the language. They must not realize how transparent they are as
they misspell words and otherwise trash the language. They might start
up a site with a few pictures and things they copied off the Internet
and expect traffic to gravitate to them immediately. Another hint is
the inappropriateness of the post. In this case, who is looking for
Valentine cards at this time of year?
I feel mostly immune to viruses because I clone my HD regularly. I
don't need to chase a virus down and fix it. I will sometimes check
unfamiliar sites out and almost never get infected anyway because I
don't run script there and I believe Firefox is better protected. I
received my first message from Google last week where they questioned
a site and provided background information. It turned out to be
benign.
Still, the bottom line is that you don't have to go to these useless
sites to begin with and probably should not.

No medical exam is required. The reason is that anything you then come
up with will be considered a preexisting condition and receive no
payment. You will not get much for a dollar either. If you are young
with children, get a renewable term policy for what you can afford.
If older, self insure for your own burial/cremation.

If something like the above, don't think it needs any sealant. Have three of
this and it never leaked - the roof will rust out befor it will leak. Mine
were Arrow, not Yardmaster but it look the same.

Its not the shed that matters, what matters is whether the concrete its
mounted on gets standing water on it. If it does, it will get in under the
bottom of the walls and what is inside the shed will get wet.
> Have three of this and it never leaked
He's not saying that the shed itself leaks, just that water can get between the concrete floor and the walls.

When I switched to DSL the savings on dropping the extra land line
was something like $2 a month so I decided to keep in case there was
ever a problem with my main phone. The modem number is not listed and I
never give it out so when it rings it is a wrong number or,more often a
telemarketer. I usually ignore it but every so often I say"Federal Trade
Commission,phone fraud unit,may I help you?" and hear a click.

One option to consider is to keep your current Internet service, but buy
a wi-fi router and let some neighbors use it in return for helping to
pay your monthly Internet service bills.

For whatever it's worth, such an arrangement probably conflicts with the
terms of service. If your neighbor brings his/her laptop over to your house
is OK, but to set yourself up as a mini-ISP is not.

Try haggling. I pay $30/month for 5Mb cablemodem service. No TV, no
phone, just internet. You have to be willing to quit and you have to
make sure that they know it. If the first-level droid won't play, ask
to speak to its supervisor. "Your service just isn't worth that much"
and "Will you elevate this to the next tier?" seem to have some magical
meaning...

DSL. 756kb service. You get both. And at the end of 6 months you'll
have to haggle with them too.

Unless you charge it on a credit card that you don't pay in full every
month.
And really, how/when you pay for it is not the point - almost anything you
buy, the value drops precipitously as you leave the store or the first time
you use it. Visit just about any yard sale. There may be more dollars
invovled when the item under consideration is a car, but the principle is
the same.

Certainly a used car doesn't lose value when it's driven off the

As do you when you buy a car - if you finance, you're renting the money, not
the car. The dealer gets paid in full immediately. Same as if you buy the
shoes using a credit card.
This doesn't bear on depreciation at all.

Did anybody stop and think that shoes don't lose $1500-3000 in value
when you walk out of the shoe store.
Oh sure, that $1500-3000 is the same as the maybe $100 bucks your
shoes just depreciated. Shoes essentially depreciate 100% when
you walk out of the store. Who would buy your shoes?
But it doesn't matter if you're going to wear them until they fall
apart, right? Just like a car.
So shoes are like cars. Which have wheels, and so do office chairs.
No difference, all the same.

It was a compact front wheel drive car. I bought the 1982 station
wagon, which had a Mitsubishi engine (although it used a carburetor,
it never stalled). Unfortunately, it was totaled from a rear-end
collision 4 years later (it crumpled well leaving me uninjured and I
was able to drive it home).

For the bathroom, get one of the always-on electroluminescent night
lights that uses a few cents worth of electricity a month and plug it
in. It's enough for night-adapted eyes. They're less than $5 at Wal-Mart.
I have several that have been working fine for years.

Back in the old days, fluorescent bulbs had beryllium in them, which
was much more hazardous than mercury. So, they switched...
Keep in mind that with sufficiently sensitive instruments, you'll be
able to pick up traces of anything, and most of those "safe" levels
have little scientific basis.

Reasonably true - except that incandescents mostly have very little life
shortening from frequent cold starts. What incandescents highly do is
become unable to survive a cold start a little before becoming unable to
survive continuous operation.
As for a bathroom nightlight, I suggest for energy savings:
* A 1/16-1/8 watt electroluminescent one (if you want something that has a
fair chance based on my experience of reasonably lasting only a few years)
* A .3-.4 watt LED one, preferably either green or blue for both really
long life expectancy (better chance decade-plus) and good illumination to
night vision.
* The Feit Electric "Eternalite" C7 - with power consumption around .4
watt and actual expectation of life expectancy appearing to me to be to be
very high (several years to decade-plus) despite using white LEDs that
have degradation-prone phosphors. This particular model has the LEDs
being run at much lower power than usual for LEDs of such size.

I was quoted $7500 for less work, some of it deemed unnecessary by the
Algodones guy. A slightly cheaper option was $5500.

Not that I noticed. It would take a mighty tough streetwalker to ply
her trade in 110*F weather. Anyway, most of the customers are senior
citizens in pairs. The last time we crossed the border, though, a group
of what looked like frat boys crossed ahead of us. I figured they were
on a quest for strong drink or the aforementioned strolling hostesses,
but they stopped at the first available men's room. Didn't see them
again for the rest of the day.

Given that the entire town exists for the purpose of servicing the
dental and optical needs of uninsured US citizens, generally of the
senior variety, I would think that a certain amount of self-policing
would be done -- the penalty for pissing in the soup is probably severe.
In my research, I didn't find a single negative comment -- just positive
ones. Given that people are far more likely to bitch about something
than praise it, I take that as useful information.
I saw no actual degree on the wall, but there were numerous certificates
for specialized workshops or seminars or whatever else they're called
from USC, UCLA, Loma Linda and a few other reputable medical schools;
the main guy was familiar with the area around USC.

Is there a homemade cleaner that is as effective as (but cheaper than) a
commercial general-purpose cleaner?
If not, what is the most effective commercial cleaner? We've always used
409 and have been reasonably happy with it, but if there's something
more effective I'm open to switching. That could include something you
could get at a warehouse or cleaning supply house too. I know Sams has
commercial cleaners but have never tried them.
Can anybody get heavy-duty professional stuff? Anybody in the business?
What do you use?
Thanks for the help!
