Some of us travel by air quite often, so I thought I'd start a thread about airports, where we can post our experiences and give other members some idea of what to expect when they fly to airports around the country. I'll start with some of the airports I like best. Ontario Intl. Airport...

I'm looking at buying a hybrid SUV. I got to figuring up the miles I drive, and over the last 6 years I've been averaging 28,000 miles a year. The only reason it's that low is because I spend a significant part of the winter flying to the southwest for work instead of driving 300 to 1000 miles...

OK, so I bought a brand new Toyota Tacoma last summer and the OEM stereo is junk. It has tweeter in the dash, 6x9 speakers in the front doors, and 6.5 round speakers in the rear doors. The stock head unit doesn't even have enough power to run the rear speakers. (I checked online and this is a...

After my recent scare concerning my heart, I saw another cardiologist. My cholesterol is 191, so not too bad, but the ratio is off. Bad cholesterol is a little high. The heart doc wants me to go on Statins. But I keep hearing how they make your life miserable with aches and pains. Can y'all tell...

Since the pandemic started, my daughter and I have been playing a lot more board games. Both old favorites like Monopoly, and newer ones like Horrified, Exploding Kittens, and Pandemic. I need to find some different ones. What are some of your favorites?

Ok, so this isn't actually health related, but my daughter has very curly, kinky, frizzy hair. It's extremely thick and has a ton of volume. I mean, she looks like a 1980s music video, without doing anything special to it. And it tangles terribly. Do any of you have any natural things to use to...

My daughter is a crazy cat lady in training... She just got a new kitten. Its mother had abandoned it at about 2 or 3 weeks old. It's about 2 months old now. It will live with her and her mom. Its name is Zephyr...

Since I've started exercising again I've become curious as to the effect of diet on endurance and energy. I haven't noticed that much difference in my ability to exercise, dependent on what I eat - unless, of course, I eat absolute garbage like Burger King. Do any of you have specific things you...

My 2005 Buick Lesabre (173k miles) has a strange vibration in it. At speeds more than 60-65 mph there is an intermittent vibration that comes up through the body of the car. I feel it in the floor and the seat, not the steering wheel. It shakes for about 3 seconds then smooths out for about 1...

Just curious if y'all have preferences for what kind of steel your blades are made of? I, for one, never cared when I was younger, because I didn't know the difference from one to another. Only when I was about 25, did I start to learn. I used a small Buck folder at my job in a plastic molding...

Good afternoon, all. I'm Spikedriver, coming over from the TF forum. The good folks there hooked me up here. I'm just a farm boy, here to learn anything new and interesting about how you all deal with the challenges of rural life...

Good evening ladies and gents. My name is Spikedriver, and I'm following my esteemed RT colleagues over here. Looking forward to meeting those of you whom I don't already know. As for the name, no there is no preverted innuendo involved... I work for a railroad. Driving spikes is what I do...
