To the headrest discomfort post, most can be removed and reinstalled backwards allowing both comfort and collision protection. To those valuing warranty, the quality of a Honda product will make that a rare issue. 45 mpg is a reasonable expectation from an Accord hybrid in reliable comfort. The...

I retired at age 70. Had a small car and truck paint and body shop. Around age 60 I realized my age was causing me to be far less productive than my employees. I hung on trying to address more of the duties that didn’t require youth, vision, dexterity, strength, endurance etc. At 70 I realized...

I’m 73. Was questioning an insurance employee who appeared by “telephone witnessing”. I assumed she was young but judge told me to never use that derogatory term in his court room.????

We’re 73, have moved 29 times since married. We finally settled in Marathon, Florida. Our experience suggested that moving works best when moving to a place instead of moving away from a place. We have everything we need here, including very friendly neighbors who share our joy of life. It’s...

Gee, a place where seniors enjoy themselves, date and even have the nerve to enjoy sex. Why can’t they be content with living a boring, lonely life obsessed with the past like normal retirees ?😂😂😂

On a different note, I kept and cut the side off my existing cast iron tub. Would have removed it completely but an additional repour on top of the original concrete floor made its removal a nightmare I chose to avoid. I used an electric angle grinder and $10 diamond wheel to cut a section 30...

Old man - what’s the driveline in your pretty ‘49 Olds business coupe ?

I think one of the biggest fuelers of the excessive home size is the buyer with relatively deep pockets from selling his much smaller home in the north. Those late boomers are still arriving in Florida, amazed by what their house sale cash can buy them here. After living 13 years in a house...

Sarcastic humor. I love it but it’s not for the craneally retarded. That’s the only way you’re allowed to use retarded unless you’re adjusting the ignition timing on a ‘56 Buick.😊

Do you mean like I n Dillinger and Bonnie and Clyde’s day?😀

I think affordability and dreams defines most folks housing wants. Housing needs is an entirely different issue. I remember in the 60s we actually believed four of us could live indefinitely in a VW van working craftsman odd jobs that none of us had the experience or skill for. That dream died...

fmdog44 - I’m noticing a pattern to your humor and comments and I like it.

Obviously we can’t get the kittens opinion on whether it wants to be murdered. It seems we humans place a different value on human life than we do other animals. If a human has trouble eating, do we euthanize them or find a liveable solution ? A difficult issue like so many issues that value one...

As has become the trend In recent years, I believe we are too quick to jump to conclusions and too quick to assume wrongdoing on the part of our police. I’d rather shovel shit than be a police officer being constantly verbally abused by the poor oppressed thugs. Taking their abuse and lack of...

You’re looking at a new Ram. Is there some reason you are not buying a diesel Cummins with an Aisin transmission? It will tow three of your RVs and get better mileage than any other engine transmission offered by Ram. And have better resale too. You can pay for cosmetics and get a pretty one...
