    High school educated whites not doing good

    Am not sure if this will get rejected as a topic but going to open it up anyway. Was reading that the death rate of high school educated white Americans is increasing rapidly. While all other demographics show a decrease. Speculation is abundant. But think that our society has put so much...

    T-Mobile - no data charge Netflix

    Was just reading yesterday that T-Mobile will be allowing video playback on their data connection at no charge. It's only 480p (tv quality) but it will not count against your monthly data limit at all. They state clearly that if you watch Netflix you will not be charged for the video time...

    inspect your potential buy first!!

    Interesting show and tell of how someone found an old truck that looks like it might actually be a bargain (think it was $400), and turns out the engine is a piece of junk.  But the process to inspect it is good.  Unfortunately they inspected it after the truck was bought. Bad compression is...

    T mobile extended range - will it work?

    Supposedly t mobile has this extended range technology for LTE they are installing. They are so confident it will work fine that they will unlock your new iPhone 6s if it can't get coverage wherever you are. At least that's what I think the corporate advertisement folks are saying. Any chance...

    Unlimited DATA - SPRINT TMOBILE etc

    Okay starting a new thread-- Since Verizon and AT&T do not provide UNLIMITED DATA direct as a standard unlimited availability. We should now talk about the various resellers of SPRINT and T-MOBILE?    They may not have the coverage, but you can find unlimited data plans with them upon demand.  ...

    Compression check or oil chemistry check?

    Given that everyone depends on their vehicle for the long term financial viability of living cheap, how many are bothering to get a compression check once the vehicle hits 150,000 miles? Does everyone effectively drive the engine until it stops? How about getting the oil checked for chemistry...

    Credit card - if you can get it

Only get it if you are the type to pay it off every month as it is 17% after the first year. Recommend canceling if you are not using it for UBER...

    Can't plan two days into the future?

    I love my relatives. But I seriously have some who can't plan two days into the future. Then I ask them to plan two weeks, two months, two years, two decades --- and they have a stress melt down. This is a society problem. Not that we can't fix the problems. Stuff happens and needs to be...

    Food Bank

    So just found out that if you dial 211 in any area you can find out where their is a food bank to get food, so you do not go hungry.  Do not know why this discussion has not been made before.  Food banks give groceries to the needy and their is no reason why if you are mobile too, that you cant...

    Not a fast clear communication

    Am noticing that relatives I deal with are not as fast a communicator as I am. They might miss 10% of the conversation. Sometimes even more than that if shocked or tired or stressed. And guess what doctors and nurse do? They communicate at 100 miles per hour (too fast) so you get half of the...

    Really? boil infection horror

    So a loved one had to be brought to the ER last night. What started as a mild infection of a boil (aka pore duct on the skin of buttocks was blocked and inflamed) ended up causing a 10 out of 10 pain pain rating. They could barely walk and could not sit at all. The cleaning was painful. But...

    http://www.rvreviews.net/ Given the ever changing and thinly vetted expertise of most suggestions online, am kind of liking what I read in this linked guide and on the Youtube video.  The in depth discussion of construction material methods and the other quality mentioned in this guide book...

    Mist sprayer cooling and insect control

    Was looking online for the mist cooling systems that Vegas casinos and other hot location hotels have at their entrance. The advertisement is the cooling of the air by 20 plus degrees if used in ideal low humidity conditions. Am sure it would be less effective in high humidity, but combined...

    5 gallon or 7 gallon

    Was looking at five gallon buckets which are $5 all day at Lowes, or maybe thinking of the seven gallon buckets which are $10 plus ten for shipping (so buy a few when you need them) from a plastics supply company. Do folks just make due and learn how to squat over the bucket, if you are a...

    Volunteer or other ways to use time

    Yes we know that everyone wants to get paid for their time.  It seems to of course be the American way to squeeze profit streams out of everything; else why is it worth it to the community. Well there are many things that can be of benefit to a community in the context of festivals.  Ideally...
