Various sizes I can find a way to live with. Noise levels are another thing entirely! I remember a couple of dishwashers that sounded like airliners trying to get off the ground. Past few years we've had a nice Bosch dishwasher and I can only tell it is operating if I concentrate and listen...

Left shoulder twice. Now I live with it because I don't want to do months of immobilization and a year of rehab, now that I'm retired and no longer have to work for a living. As others have pointed out, cortisone injections are not a permanent solution and can lead to other problems. Be very...

I think it is on Bridge Street. Same VFW post that was featured on "Bar Rescue" a few years ago.

Next time you find yourself in Albuquerque, New Mexico make a point of stopping in at the local VFW post. You will find a men's restroom adorned as a Jane Fonda shooting range, every urinal featuring a picture of her as the aiming point. Many of us will never forget her publicized travels to...

Excellent post! Exceptionally clear and directly to the point of this discussion.

I have no significant doubts about hardness of the lead bullet metal. All of the Federal, Remington, and other factory loads of the era utilized swaged bullets which are formed in a die under pressure forcing the lead into final form. That process requires pure (or very nearly pure) lead; any...

But we were discussing humans, homo sapiens, not the highly mutated homo walmartian variety, invariably observed clinging tightly to Big Gulp cups between forearm and torso while engaged in herd behavior browsing shopping aisles and parking lots. Hardly a fair comparison.

At precisely 10.5 meters above sea level at high tide, at an ambient temperature of no more than 18 Celsius and no less than 34 Fahrenheit, with relative humidity of precisely 41%, barometric pressure being steady for the previous 16 hours or more, using testing equipment endorsed and certified...

Back in my Army days the basic skills of an infantryman included the creative uses of sandbags. Saw some pretty impressive construction projects in Vietnam that used very few other materials.

Agreed. 5 inches into the human torso will easily reach the heart, lungs, aorta, liver, spleen, intestines, or make a mess out of the leftovers from the last meal. Probably not the same as a genuine certified Jello test performed by experts, but still some nasty wounding capabilities.

Best way I know to win is to refuse to buy the tickets. Here in Colorado they advertise the "Colorado Lottery" but what actually exists is the State Lottery Division of the Department of Revenue. Same people who reach into every paycheck and demand we file returns every year to report every...

Is that the only color? Just wondering about the options.

Don't listen to any of them! Bunch of liars that never knew me at all. Probably best if I just hang around and tell it myself, make sure it's done right.

Well, we can thank goodness that none of the National Guard folks will have weapons, none will wear uniforms, no military vehicles will be allowed. Sounds like about 6 dozen paid tourists will be helping out with traffic control, maybe doing a few photo ops to demonstrate how much the Gov truly...

Nearly 40 years ago my main investment guy provided convincing arguments in favor of growth stock mutual funds consisting primarily of reliable dividend-paying shares, and reinvesting the dividends to purchase additional shares. Even better when this can be done in a tax-sheltered account (IRA...
