    Drive Thru - Fast Food Rant

    I have a few personal rules on the subject of fast food: 1. No custom orders. Either I accept the default way they make it or I don't eat there. 2. The best local option for me is McDonald's, therefore I buy gift cards and get 4X fuel points when I do. Thus the employees aren't burdened with...

    What age were you when you got married?

    I knew when I was 17 that I would never marry...and I never have. Age 68 now with no children.

    Anybody renting their cars out on Turo?

    I could maybe think of a few reasons why I might want to make my life more difficult and complex, but renting a vehicle I own to John Q. Public is not one of them.

    New "Smart" Fridge

    I have lived my entire life refilling plastic ice cube trays as needed. I also wash dishes by hand, even though I have a dishwasher that has not been used more than 60 times in 26 years. Some things are too simple to be made complex and expensive. YMMV.

    Anybody Switch from Electric to Gas Appliances?

    For 52 years I have had...a natural gas furnace...gas dryer...gas hot water heater...and an electric stove...and I have been glad of it. Anything different would've been...different, but not better. Prices and quality do fluctuate over time, but these are minor considerations. Go with what works...

    Dealing with lack of trust

    Do what you need to do to keep peace in the family...but walk away from this transaction. It is NOT worth the risk and beware of same going forward.

    VOTE!

    In before the lock. Haven't voted since 2000 and no plans to ever do so again. No one good enough to vote for. Anyway...we always get the government that we deserve.

    Too Bizarre To Contemplate

    Tomorrow morning my mother's burial will take place, and 4 hours later I'll be eating and drinking in a free luxury suite at a college football game. She would've loved the irony of it all.

    Had to get my home water line replaced. Unexpected.

    How old was the previous installation?

    Civil War buffs

    I did a tour of Antietam on July 3 1986. Saw several of the important places with the last stop being the visitor center. We were asked..."Are you coming back tomorrow for the concert?" We did come back on July 4 to see many people spread out on the grass somewhere near the Dunker Church while a...

    Old Campstove Propane

    I don't know how I could be sure that the fittings and valves on the stove would be safe to use after sitting unused in a dusty, unheated garage for so long. I thought about throwing it away for that reason. Thanks for your suggestion.

    I'm not into guns...don't have one or know what weapon could be used but thanks for the reply.

    Old Campstove Propane

    My initial thought was to use the stove to try and vent the fuel without lighting it....approx 0.5 pound of fuel. Again...concerned about safety. The back of my back yard is about 60-70 feet behind my house and much further the the other nearby houses and the road.

    Old Campstove Propane

    I found in the garage a partially used small propane cylinder (circa late 90s) and the Coleman camp stove it was used for. I have no desire to use either one but do not know what I could do to safely dispose of this fuel. Think maybe the local volunteer fire dept. would be a place to start...

    What can I do with perch fillets?

    Great Lakes yellow perch is #1 followed closely by Great Lakes walleye #2...and I've always enjoyed them fried. Mostly from Lake Erie. Another fish from another place?...my reply would be useless to the OP. If you can get either, I hope you enjoy!!!

    Rumor Mill at Full Throttle

    I made a rare trip to the locksmith today. The guy was obviously bored and the following exchange occurred: You seen all the helicopters flying around here? near (KTOL). Me...Yes Well...you'll be seeing more. There are more military aircraft at the 180th ANG now than have ever been here before...

    Is it even worth flying anymore, for the short term at least?

    My family really wants me to travel from OH to OK in December about 10-11 days before 12/25 and I'd have to get a ride to DTW (80 miles) to do it. I don't want to go but they are paying for everything and won't take kindly to a refusal. They speak with the confidence of folks who have never had...
