    Medical Records

    I’m curious how this works. Are there companies that compile medical records like those that compile financial records? I’m curious, because when you’re injured in an accident you typically have to sign a release for the insurance company to look at your medical records history. They...

    Need a kidney?

    I mentioned a few months ago that someone did something incredibly kind for my 20-year old daughter, and all he asked in return was that she pay it forward. She's limited in what she can do, but her dad.... One thing I've decided to do is donate a kidney, since I have 2 and only need one, and...

    "just pay it forward"

    A few months ago my daughter announced that after 2 years of college she was done. I hadn't had a chance to raise my voice before she added that she was going to attend a 2-year school for heating and air conditioning. "uhhhh...okay." So a few weeks ago I moved her to an apt. in Jeff City...

    WOW Airlines closed

    I'm always amazed at the business that will continue to sell people services to be rendered later right up to the minute the doors close for the last time.

    Sears

    The judge just approved the sale of Sears to Lampert. No surprise, we all knew that was coming. But I can't wrap my head around why Lampert would run a viable company into the ground and then buy the worthless company that's so beat up now it can't survive. It's well beyond the point of no...

    Any Veitnam pilots here?

    Over the years I've read hundreds of books written by VN vets, many by VN pilots. Most seemed exaggerated, but of the ones that weren't, when the contact info was easily found I wrote several of the authors. And was pleasantly surprised to receive responses to almost all of my letters. So...

    News

    I read a variety of news sources each day. Yahoo, msn, fox, abc, etc. There was a time not too long ago when it was presented in a formal fashion. i.e. free of typos and it made sense. That's no longer the case. This morning on each site I visited I found incorrect grammar, typos, and then...

    Postage Stamps

    I use a lot of postage stamps and thought the new forever stamps w/ the airmail design were cool so I ordered a bunch of them. But they're so cool that I don't want to waste them mailing invoices. On another note, I think it's odd that when I order stamps from USPS.COM they charge me $1.75...

    Helicopter engineer dies in crash

    Man, I hated to read this. I've followed him for years. Incredibly kind and generous with his time. A good guy. Don't get me wrong, as cool as it looks, I'm not brave enough to fly a Mosquito. Or any other aircraft whose engine isn't as loud as my Stihl trimmer. But kudos to him for...

    Yeah, that’s what I look like with my shirt off.

    http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2018/04/06/hot-pilots-sexy-selfies-have-captured-internets-attention.html Maybe I’m just jealous of someone who has no trouble attracting followers. Apparently, the guy posts a lot of selfies in and out of his work shirt.

    Teacher Walkout (N/A)

    The teacher walkout is headline news today. They’re upset about their pay, and this has been going on since I was a kid. I’d like to see every teacher who walks out fired and have their certificates stripped. 1. First and foremost they’re in the middle of a contract. Upset about your pay...

    DIY Home Security Installation (N/A)

    I'd like to install a system with a DVR and 4 cameras with decent picture quality. There are a number of systems out there in the $200-$300 range that have good reviews. While a lot of people thrive on the challenge of setting things up, I'm not one of them. I want a plug-n-play system that...

    Net Neutrality

    There are some strong arguments to be made on both sides. Obviously Netflix would be for it since they eat up so much bandwidth. I'd be all for pay-as-you-go. I just don't trust the companies that say "give us the power to be overlord and we promise not to abuse it." I'm curious what the...

    (N/A). Help me build this electric thing.

    I have a friend who has the front top portion of a school bus w/the lights intact. He has it mounted and wants to make the lights flash (blink). I need help locating the supplies I'll need, as well as instructions on how to wire it. The instructions are the more important of the two...

    Cellular data speed

    So my daughter keeps blasting through our family plan data limits. She's cost us an average of an extra $75 each of the last 3 months because AT&T charges $15/G after the first 16G. It turns out that they have a plan for the same price with unlimited data but the catch is that the speed is...

    United Leggings

    So this self-proclaimed activist tweets about how unfair United is because they won't let two girls board a plane because they're wearing leggings. She thinks she's taking up for all women everywhere. But what she doesn't know is that the girls are boarding w/ employee passes that require...

    NA /. Poll (on) Taxes

    I just finished running my numbers this year and thought I'd do something to help cheer me up. So I'm asking how people around here feel about doing their fair share.

    Hydro growl on ZTR - N/A

    I bought a new Exmark ZTR the other day and the hydro growls loudly all the time, but especially when going up the ramp or up a hill. The dealer says it's normal but my Husqvarna z is as quiet as it gets, and I don't hear any other Exmark zs making that kind of noise. I thought maybe it would...

    Priceline - another reason to not fly commercially

    I'll preface this by saying I've used priceline dozens of times with no problems. I guess it's a lot like shooting craps. Eventually you're gonna roll a seven. Last week I was supposed to be at Atlantis in The Bahamas with my wife and kids celebrating our 29th anniversary. But I've gotten...
