I get annoyed with these "how to" or ask an "expert" forums. You ask them a question and the usual reply is: Oh you need an engineer, etc. What kind of answer is that? If a person is presented with a problem it is quite obvious to hire someone in the yellow pages. I think this point gets...

It's about common sense, a concept which forever eludes the radical left. --------------------- We are bombarded in the news with enough items that demostrate lack of common sense with reasoning to support the lack of common sense, we put common sense on the back burner, give up, pointless...

I have a letter written in cursive from my father before he passed away. Quite different than holding a typewritten sheet with lifeless ink on a page. I wrote a few notes to myself today in cursive. Never thought much about it till now, just something I've done without thought. When I...
