Amazon also carries the brand you mentioned first, Old English Scratch Cover. Well it sure looks easy enough to use & apply.

You're talking about something like this?

In case it matters, this is the inside-facing side of the door.

I am interested in a product that can both protect the exposed wood on this door, as well as restore the color to approximately the rest of the door (a 100% color match is just not necessary). Can I get that with just a stain, or should I apply something else first? FWIW this door has been...

I've had occasional rebates from AT purchases. The expected rebate does factor in to the purchase decision, absolutely. I've never had a tire rebate get declined, or experienced anything like what Mobil made us all go through.

It is flawed all right. This rebate is the most frustrating that I can remember. It is rebate processes like this that lead people to think that the rebate companies will simply goof up, and deny until you complain about it, and only then make good on the offer--that they make their money by...

Well today I got the email with two $20 rebates, and two aluminum tumblers. They are actually high quality, I only did this for the money but those tumblers are keepers. Two emails later, I finally get my $40 rebate. Including MIR, I got four 5-quart jugs of Mobil 1 High Mileage 5w30 for $15 per...

SPOILER ALERT: I chose not to include spoiler tags. Spoilers are kind of embedded in my paragraphs below, so just be forewarned. If you know you want to see it, you might want to wait until after you’ve seen it, to read this post. If you are on the fence, you might be persuaded to see it by...

I also liked (as did all their fans) their musical rendition of the Charge of the Light Brigade (The Trooper). Of course Aces High was a great rendition of the Battle of Britain. Yeah I would have loved for them to have done either the Iliad or the Odyssey.

I'm surprised Iron Maiden hasn't done something on that....

I thought the one with Armand Assante as Oddyseus, and Vanessa Williams as Calypso, was fairly faithful to Homer's tale: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118414/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_1_accord_2_cdt_t_105 It was a made-for-TV version, not intended to compete with major releases like Christopher Nolan's...

I would just get a basic, generic mattress and get a memory foam topper. That's what we've done and we love the topper. Costco has numerous below $200.

If it comes out to California, or anywhere close for that matter, I'll take my dad to see it (he loves trains).

Absolutely. I bought a 3-year supply with oil on rebate, and then some from Costco, with the receipts taped to the jugs. If we don't have an oilmegaddon I can return the Kirkland oil to costco. If prices never rise, I'll still make out from rebates.
