    Walgreens to shut 1,200 stores as CEO Wentworth seeks turnaround

    In this area, Walgreen's and CVS are both complete rubbish. Walgreen's has stores open at some of the busiest intersections in town, without a pharmacist on duty.. in the middle of the day. The local hospital has opened up its own pharmacy which is open 6am to midnight, 7 days a week, because...

    BBC article on U.S. salvage vehicles being rebuilt in Georgia

    If any of you watch Arthur Tussik's videos on You Tube, a number of the vehicles that he rebuilds have come from the US. IAA Auction stickers on the windshields, license plates still on it...

    Package delivered? NEVER Arrived

    Wouldn't it be nice if the USPS had a system when the carrier scans it for delivery, it checks the coordinates of where it is being delivered versus the coordinates of the delivery address, and sets off an alarm if the two don't match? I know, too much to expect. I get my neighbor's mail all...

    My sister *and* the police, both unknowingly walked in on a robbery in progress.

    Anyone who has bought eyeglasses lately know that the frames are not cheap, they are an average of $300 (the figure my sister told me). But yes, as someone asked... what exactly is the secondary market here? Reminds me of the "underpants gnomes" episode from South Park. And the business had...

    My sister *and* the police, both unknowingly walked in on a robbery in progress.

    One day this past week, when my sister returned to the office after her lunch hour... she walked in on the office getting robbed. She followed two police cars into the parking lot, and it kind of made her wonder as to why. It is a sleepy professional building with 3 other business tenants...

    What holding strength is lost when removing and reinstalling wood bolts?

    Hint: Next time, cover the track with some aluminum foil out of the kitchen. Lots faster to put on and take off.

    Help me locate replacement filters for a Lombardini LDW 2204 diesel engine.

    Looks like a spin-on to me. They're just calling it a "cartridge".

    Does the dmv not update on the weekend?

    The DMV in Illinois barely works during the week... I do everything possible online so that I don't have to deal with them, ever.

    Just bought my first Honda lawn mower / first self-propelled mower.

    One is a 1983 model 7268 (last year before the 1984 blade brake mandate), bought new (with my own $$$) when I was 13 years old. The other is a 1990 model S21ZPN, which I bought used around 20 years ago for $50. I aslo have a Lawn Boy edger from 1968. which came from an estate tag sale for $10.

    Just bought my first Honda lawn mower / first self-propelled mower.

    I know how one would fix a steel deck with a defect. I'm not sure how one would fix a plastic deck. The Honda plastic deck does have a lifetime warranty... but to the original purchaser only.

    Just bought my first Honda lawn mower / first self-propelled mower.

    It being a steel deck doesn't bother me, as I'm in it for the long run... and this one will be staying on one property and not moved around. Other than that, this one checks all of the boxes... variable speed drive, upgraded 170cc engine, and it bags, mulches, or discharges. Plus, if I...

    Another messed up tire.

    Looks like they don't avoid hitting potholes either.

    Just bought my first Honda lawn mower / first self-propelled mower.

    Honda HRN216. Self-propelled, variable speed. Sticker on the engine shows that it is a 2021 model. Picked it up at a household auction about 20 miles away. Was being sold as "untested", even though it looks like it has been used a handful of times at the most. Not a scratch or blemish on...

    Consumer Reports not happy with Tesla Delivery experience

    Isn't CR up on the east coast... Connecticut maybe? So, they got the east coast treatment. They should be used to it by now.

    Don't put off home repairs

    Understand fully. That said, remember that they grew up in a different time and a different world than we did. Self reliance is very important. I was always amazed at stories from my grandparents (both sets were farmers), as to what they went through to survive in the great depression.... and...
