    Hidden Object PC games @ Walmart or for Downloading

    I used to be a hardcore computer gamer...as in 6 or more hours everyday, to the point that my dreams were lived in the last game session.  It was great fun, totally rewired my hand eye coordination for the better, and exposed me to a vast world of feelings and information.  Over the...

    M.E.K and automotive paint

    I have not tried WD40, and I don't even have any.&nbsp; I stopped using it years ago, because it just never held up like specific lubricants do.&nbsp; Although it is a good 'rust preventative coater' somewhat.&nbsp; I just find other products much better.&nbsp; I will try it, though...

    Only took eight months to find

    That is great to get your van down to the metal like that.&nbsp; Mine came bare already, but I wish it had trim that I would have pulled out in the back, just so that the previous owners would not have dropped a chemical grenade in the back for me to clean up.&nbsp; It is BAD.<br><br>I suggest...
