    One-cup Coffee maker

    I have decided that I want to cut down to one or two cups of coffee a day. My Mr. Coffee 8 cup maker doesn't do a very good job on anything less than 8 cups. Beside me is one of a 4-cup experiment. Bleah. Car dealer waiting rooms often have a type of one-cup-at-a-time maker that brews the cup...

    Who has a Toyota Highlander Hybrid?

    You may recall how pleased I was when "Li'l Blue" quieted down and ran better after service and in cooler, damper weather. Well, that didn't last long, so I am investigating replacing her with a stronger, quieter vehicle without giving up reliability or economy. My "bible" for this...

    Cholesterol lowering drugs.

    Anyone else taking lipitor or pravastatin or some other statin drug?? Do you get these 2-3 second sharp stabs of pain where there is no reason to hurt? How do you deal with them? I have a supply of HydraCodone, but am reluctant to take it because: 1.) It is narcotic and at least mildly...

    Flex-fuel engines.

    I am doing advanced research on my next car. . .sometime in the next year. One of the vehicles that seems quite attractive (I have not driven one yet) is the Mercedes Benz C240 4Matic wagon (around 2005-2008) that has a flex fuel 2.6 liter V6. They say it can burn gasoline or E-85. I do know...

    What should I be paying for speed??

    I resigned from being a 'puter guru when I retired from teaching robotic and automatic control programming 14 years ago. I have been doing the iboats thing for a bit over 10 years now, and the demands for upgrades never seem to end.:( I am on my 2nd box, 4th processor. . .something like a gig...

    ALARM!! Shampoo warning

    I try to take good care of the little bit of hair I have left. I use shampoo every time I shower. As I rinse it out it runs down all over my body. For some reason I took a close look at the label today. "Increases body" it says. Well, Duhh! My body needs no more increases.:mad: I am going to...
