"San Francisco is considering a law that would make it illegal for grocery stores to close without six months’ notice." "Additionally, they would need to actively seek out a replacement store to ensure uninterrupted access to essential goods for residents." So, if a grocery store is unable to...

A couple years ago I started using a vape, Ya, not proud but I can explain. Lousy day working on a project in the garage, nothing going right. Girlfriend walks in and I suggest sitting in the yard and smoking a cigar. I rarely smoked cigars, know little about what is good, and I am certain...

I retired almost 14 years ago from what was one of several (mostly) polite, friendly, and reasonable police departments in Nevada, and one of only a few polite, friendly, and reasonable departments in Clark County (around Las Vegas). After I retired the political anti-cop rhetoric intensified...

Do you have, or do you need aftermarket deer lights for your vehicle? Deer lights, driving lights, fog lights, other bright lights to see down the road when driving in rural areas? Usually people wire them up with some sort of toggle switch on the dash that you have to reach for, and constant...

I learned of this many years ago. I was sick, probably a near fatal dose of the Man Flu, and a friend suggested these. Several years before her oldest son had the H1N5 (or whatever) flu and after several trips to the doctor and many failed medical attempts the doctor told her to try these as...

Sitting here thinking about something helpful to share, you know to get my 5 useful posts for the drawing. Anyways, I mention this stuff before but it is worth mantioning again. With an older vehicle it is possible the automatic transmission will start shuddering as it is trying to decide if it...

I have mentioned this before but to contribute, and work towards my 5 posts for the contest thingy, I thought I would explain this again. I acquired an old cement mixer several years ago for free. It wasn't working but swapping in a used motor was easy and basically free to me. I use it to...

I saw this place mentioned on another forum. The guy who runs the place is a member of that forum. The basic premise is that they give away seeds for various produce items which were collected from the previous years crop from the first and best veggies of the crop, hopefully ensuring to pass...

I like watching Weatherman Pkus, he is fairly accurate in his forcasts and doesn’t get overly dramatic. That being said, he is suggesting LA may get 10 to 15 inches of rain over the next few days and there is a potential for (close to) hurricane force winds.

OK, someone out there has to know of a way to set up a pressure switch so when you, or our horse, steps on the switch the water will turn on but when you step off the switch the water will stop. My thoughts are to have such a switch under a 2'x2' sheet of plywood and when the horse steps on the...

I am curious what might be your 3 favorite colors for T-shirts if you were out and about in tourist trap type stores? I know Harley Davidson dealers will mostly have black, that is a given, but I am thinking if you were on vacation and saw a cool shirt with a name and print for that location...

I have plenty of well aged, rained and snowed upon, chicken poop, and I have my wood chipper that makes rather small wood chips. If I mix it together with water in a repurposed cement mixer would it be desirable for a garden and what would be a fair price for a 5 gallon bucket? Our girls empty...

As many of you know I have worked at Home Depot either full or part time for a few months over 7 years, minus my time off when I refused to wear the mask. Even though the new/current manager is an incompetent leader, no people skills or leadership ability, I very much enjoyed working there...

I have been working on extending the workbench on the side wall of the garage. I used unfinished kitchen cabinets for the base and 3/4" ply for the workbench. The original portion was made with the cheap Birch wood unfinished cabinets from Home Depot, but they were so poorly made I had to...

I heard of this guy and this information on the radio tonight driving home from work. George Noory was talking with Steve Alten and the discussion, amongst other things was about natural, organic remedies to help the body naturally fight back against Alzheimer's and some cancers. This is a...

I am hoping someone has an idea or we can brainstorm something to suit my needs. In my RV garage the walls are 15' tall and that leaves plenty of space on the wall above the workbench and above the bench is a sheet of plywood where I hang hand tools and other common things used for odd jobs...

I saw this mentioned on the Permies forum. I think we will be ordering some because the comfrey we got at a local nursery last year didn't do so well, maybe because it was young so hoping it grows better this year. Anyways, Coe's website only sells comfrey and one specific type. In addition...

My house sits in an area where the radio signals struggle getting through the mountain ranges. Usually the car radios can get a good signal but sometimes even they struggle with a couple of the local channels. I want to set up my big Sony stereo system in the garage but the few times I tried I...

A neighbor mentioned today that some chicken owners are feeding their flock table scraps and other real food because they noticed the bags of feed at the farm store may be the problem behind lack of egg production in the winter. The claim is that when better food was provided to the birds they...

Daughter just checked on our birds and found a duck "drowned" in a water bucket. It was a gallon sized bucket with only a few inches of water, somehow it reached in without tipping it over and got stuck. Question: It is cold outside, the duck is cold and has been cold a while and this happened...
