RE: .....I love saltines...........
Crush saltines and add Olive Oil and lemon juice to a paste and coat your face with it. Takes the wrinkles out and softens the skin.If taken off carefully it will be come a mask of yourself.
Just dont go shopping with it on.

RE: $200 to clean fiver and roof?
We stopped at an RV park in Virginia Beach. A young fella with a van pulled up and asked if We wanted our fifth polished, He did a lot of boats and Thanksgiving time it got slow.At first the price was $600 bucks but he lowered it to $500.Our trailer had a dull finish which looked like it needed painting, the vinyl around the trim was moldy looking and the front and rear caps were a bit oxidized.
We said OK and after two long days of three coating the Filon as he called it in the front and rear caps and having his wife do the metal sides the job made our fiver along with all the trim look brand new.Absolutely Flawless was the name of the company. well worth the money. Plus they were a great young couple.

RE: Verizon 30 Customer Satisfaction Guarantee
A tip. Never call Customer Service after 5PM or on the weekends if possible. If dealing with a non responsive CSR hang up and call later.They seem to be improving but have a long way to go.
I've had more professional help in a company owned store than the authorized retailers. Keep in mind they are the best of the worst.

RE: Using DirecTv HD reciever to get SD
My HD DVR works on my set with the single lnb. I found it easier to set up if I use a splitter and run two cables to the DVR. After we move sometimes the receiver has to be reset and all works well.
I do miss the HD service but just too many trees in the way and too little patience.

RE: How do you get the smell of gas off skin?
Minced Garlic with a bit of EVVO. Make a paste and rub it in. It helps the skin from irritation.

RE: Verizon USB 720 or USB 760
Thanks for the info. although I've never come close to the GB limit there is no reason to switch as the card i have now is a replacement less than two months old.
The offer they gave me by mail was a new 760 card or a free month of service if i signed up,.Maybe they will come up with a better plan or walmart will.

RE: Yankees vs Phillies
The taxes,parking and tourism the stadium draws will soon pay for the ball park.I think the Yanks will allow the series to go 6 games to allow the vendors to sell a few million more beerski's and dogs then slaughter the "other" team.
Nobody can come close to beating the Yankees this year.
The Babe will be proud.

Verizon USB 720 or USB 760
Is there any difference between the 720 or 760 air cards. My 2yr year commitment is ending with Verizon and I can get the 760 free with a 2 yr commitment. Also to those in the know will there be a better card coming out soon.
It's my third card since I signed up as the other two died but basically the 720 isn't bad other than the occasional disconnects where the only way to reconnect is rebooting.

RE: granite countertops
Here we go again :B
There is lot of misinformation about granite cost. I don't specialize in those jobs, but I do that on limited bases. This kitchen with over 20 linear feet of granite counter-tops cost around $400 in material cost. The matching floor (you can see only 1/2 of it) was another $400 +
Shop around. Like everywhere else you will find contractors ready to charge you 10 grands for the same stuff. Labor is expensive, but not that much.
http://images.kajtek1.multiply.com/image/1:kajtek1bus/photos/16/600x600/2/DSCN0261.JPG?et=F8%2BY2wPsfvYirL7K1OGOsA&nmid=235490341Kaj there is a huge difference in quality. How can you have 20lf of granite countertop done when the slab alone costs $750.
For lords sake whats with the door on the fridge.Kinda backwards for access. And don't trip over the fireplace. Who did this remodel?
It is able to be done when you buy the premade slabs that were fabricated in China and you make cuts to fit but itis never done as well as when you buy slabs that have been quarryed together and the ends are bookmarked so they match and you cannot see a seam.
Also those cheap jobs, they do not use proper leveling shims. We have lost bids to do the counters only to comeback a year later to replace the cheaply done ones. Sometimes we actually come across contractors who used corrugated cardboard as leveling shims under the counter.....insane

RE: Goodbye to all my friends! Thanks for a great 5 years!
Good Sam made me an offer I couldn't refuse. If I resigned they would give me a free night of camping at one of their discounted parks( $ 25.00 value. ) free map, membership, magazine and a lot of junk mail.I feel so used in accepting the offer.
This place needs posters like yourself with good info. Don't let a few ad's bother you.
Good luck either way.
