    A wonderfully illuminating Web Site.

    The American Left has definitely come out of the closet, now that they are heady with power. Come see what half of the deluded American Public is voting for. The following is but a page off of their website. Pay particular attention to who and what groups make up their coalition. You vote...

    More on Taxes.

    Today, I was reading the newspaper at lunch time. There were no less than 4 tax increases or proposals on the first two pages alone. This comes after a raft of new or increased taxes after the Democrats took power in the last election. (WA State) They just keep taking more and more. There is...

    Paint opinions?

    I'm trying to settle on a paint to use for the deck and interior of my little Beachcraft. The deck had already been painted before (over metalflake gelcoat) but it is not in good shape, they did not use a primer and it is chipping off around things like the rub railings and other masked...

    Day three of early DST?

    How is it settling with everyone? Personally, I love it. In the not so great PNW, our evening light is truncated by the continual, pervasive cloud cover. Early DST has made the early evening hours more usable. To be truthful, I don't get up early enough to know how it is going on the...

    Makes you want to rip your hair out-Federal Taxes.

    Just found out tonight that you are required to take the allowable depreciation on rental property whether you can use the annual deduction or not. This of course means, when you go to sell the property, your cost basis has been lowered by the amount of depriciation forcibly taken. As such you...

    Medical costs!

    The problem of medical costs are probably multifaceted but we just had an experience that typifies a signifigant part of the problem. We have an insurance carrier that has contractual agreements with a local clinic. It is close to our home and has been around for a long time. Mrs Boomyal just...

    I can only think that it must be SBN's little buddies!

    Awile ago I reported the Mrs Boomyal's MS Internet Explorer quit working. You would click on the Icon and it would just open up a blank white page with the IE header bar. None of the functions on the tool bar worked.(file, edit, view, favorites, etc) I tried to delete it, reload it, change to...

    Is today a Postal holiday?

    Usually get our mail before noon. It is now 2:10 pm and no sign of them. Tried to find a list of Holidays on the USPS site, to no avail.

    Marine bondo revisited?

    I know this was discussed recently but it was not on my radar screen at the time. I'm in the process of preparing my doghouse for priming and painting; I have a lot of little minor imperfections to fill in, along with the holes that I screwed the drink holder on with to get good adhesion...

    Went for Comcast Cable for 96 y/o Dad.

    Well, it's off to Fry's now to find a modem. Comcast had a $25/mo 6 month introductory offer that ended today. Even up to this morning I was considering the slightly lower priced DSL (also signifigantly slower) but I had questions to ask. I had to make the decision today or pass on Comcasts 6...

    FireFox logon issues?

    Since Mrs Boomyal's IE 6.0 went beserk we have been using FireFox. She's getting PO'd because it takes her from 3-5 tries(clicking on the icon) before it will open.(server cannot be found message) Is this normal? I'm on the same network and have no problem opening IE7.

    Cable Modem Recommendations?

    Might sign my Daddy up for Cable. They have a pretty irresistable 6 mo program. Comcast must be trying to pump up their customer base prior to selling off their cable system. AT&T did something similar before they sold to Comcast. Then after Comcast took over, they unwound all the package...

    I'll blame it on winter!

    I guess I was initiated tonight. My 'Algore can't get no respect' post was unceremoniously poofed. I didn't even rate a "LOCKED'. T'was my first thread and/or first post to have ever been censured. No doubt my toe has scratched the line, many a time. Often I could sense the gritting teeth...

    1.5Mbps DSL Service?

    Does anyone use a DSL service of this speed? Our local telephone service (Qwest) offers two levels of DSL. Their premier service(they claim it to better than cable) is 7Mbps and they claim it is 125 times faster than dial-up. Their standard DSL is the 1.5 Mbps which they claim to be 'up to'...

    Dial-up ISP speeds?

    Are their any noticable differences in speeds between dial-up ISP's? My 96 y/o Pappy has virtually stopped surfing and emailing because the performance is so dismal. He has a fairly local ISP service. I know that DSL is available to him but after the first year introduction rate, you might as...

    "I'm Jerry Lee and I'm here to stay"

    I thought the guy was dead. I used to go see him at a little club in North Hollywood CA, called the Palamino Club.(late '70's, early 80's) He used to play there frequently because they always accepted him back in his early days. I just watched his 'Last man standing" concert on PBS...

    General interest about shipping costs.

    I just sent my Holley 450 cfm 4 bbl back to Holley for one of their 'for all intents and purposes' like new rebuilds. The shipment was from Vancouver WA to Bowling Green KY and the package weighed 13 lbs. United States Postal service wanted 24$ for snail mail Parcel Post, their cheapest...
