After I posted this, I seem to remember Bob saying there is oil (or something) added to LP that goes into larger tanks; this to help with the rubber hoses or lines. Can't quite remember it exactly, but he said this is why you need a filter for the Mr. Buddy heater, so it doesn't clog. This isn't...

Has anyone used one of these, are they really safe? Rainbow Store Propane Refill Adapter Lp Gas 1 Lb Cylinder Tank Coupler Heater Bottles Coleman...

Wow Plant, great stuff. I think based on what you've said I'm doing pretty good. The downside is I just changed from iOS to Android. And even though I'm using Android now, I agree with you that my iPhone was safer. To help I don't install apps outside Google Play or Samsung (my phone...

I meant to include that in my post, thanks. Yes, it takes a couple days, if there is no one ahead of you in the testing. They told me the test charges the batteries up and then runs them down to a certain point (my guess is not to dead since that would damage the batteries). This is done...

This may have been brought; up before; in short - Batteries Plus (now known as Batteries + Bulbs) will test you deep cycle batteries for free using  the correct test of a "capacity test." A lot of places do free battery tests, but they always give me the wrong answer when I ask what kind of test...

Thanks texas0322. Very confusing, I guess the best thing to do is check with who ever is selling medical stuff to you and then try and figure if they are doing it correctly. Good information, thank you. I don't think the charge of sales tax on my mobility scooter was anything but a mistake...

The only state that matters is the one in your when you make a medical purchase, of course. But this was Texas both times, when I purchased the mobility scooter and the replacement batteries 3 years later. A Google search under "sales tax exempt medical" didn't tell which states don't charge...

I recently discovered when buying batteries for my mobility scooter that the state I'm in does not charge sales tax for medical equipment. If the batteries where for (let's say) a solar system or garage door motor, sales tax would be applied. Sadly, I wish I had known about this when I...

No one (in their right mind) is going to invade the US, there's too many guns here,,,, they'll just drop a bomb and clean it up later :D

Ditto, plus I have two long range (16 miles) walkie talkies with rechargeable batteries if my wife and I have to separate and cell towers are down. Good for natural and man made disasters. I of course can recharge the batteries by solar. I also keep a safety straw ready to go. It can purify...

Headache, thank you for bringing up this issue. I too have permanent brain damage, along with other health problems.  Balance is a big deal for me, even when laying flat in a bed. Thanks again, gives more to think about and make changes for the better.

I agree, fortunately I don't need MS Office or the expense. But even when using LibreOffice I still save all my files and documents in MS Office 97-2003 format rather then using LibreOffice native format. MS Office seems to have become almost a universal format. Likewise, I still like having a...

Disclosure: There might be a thread on this from 2014, I ran a search and thread came up but could find any on LibreOffice. Also I make no money and have no association with LibreOffice. I own a license for Microsoft Office 2000 but I haven't used MS Office in more then a decade. Now days it...

careful  what you sign... "The lenders’ weapon of choice is an arcane legal document called a confession of judgment. Before borrowers get a loan, they have to sign a statement giving up their right to defend themselves if the lender takes them to court." "Armed with a confession, a lender...

I almost never get phone calls from telemarketers. Sure there's lots of stuff out there to block and stop them from phoning. Some are apps and some are offered by my cell carrier. Telemarketers (most at least) seem to have a way around these fixes. I don't use any of them. But, I learned a trick...

Thanks for your thoughts, hope you understand I was trying to put my comments in context and not trying to gain sympathy. I don't wish my life on any body. But I have skills that are unmatched by but a few. I have never been found by law enforcement when sleeping. And there are maybe half a...

I was listening to the news this morning and they where interviewing a person describing how much money they save on Black Friday by going to all sorts of different stores. They went on to say they saved $200.00 at one store alone. I'd like to point out the obvious; that you don't save money by...

I have been homeless several times over my life, some where extended periods times,,, years in some cases. This because I've had disabilities all my life. I never done drugs or been an alcoholic, which is the standard first question. During some of these times I've worked full time, once working...

I have less in the last five years then I've had in the last five decades, much less. This due to circumstances beyond my control. But I've been comfortable, happy and grateful everyday,,, not just today. When it rains, I am dry, when I go to sleep, I am warm and when I wake the coffee is hot...

I agree with you and WomderingRose,,, I'm sure the numbers are much higher. We (seniors) are good are blending into the background.
