Here in northeast Ohio there's about 4 inches of global warming on the ground and it's 15-20 degrees.  I'm interested to know where this warm spring is and how it's being predicted...

My local wal-mart seems like it never restocks or restocks very little.  The common items are picked clean unless it's 2a.m. and everything else just sits there.  I try to only make 1 trip a month there for this reason.  If they don't have it I'll drive 30 minutes from my house and spend the money at another store that...more

I'm a truck driver and a former automechanic. I'm required to drive in all types of weather and terrain and saw too many problems at the dealer with computers having glitches that could not be duplicated and the customer insisted on us fixing the problem.  There were all sorts of gadgets and safety features like parkin...more

I couldn't agree more.  I don't like to use credit cards but they have bailed me out in times of bad luck.  Just had to pay them off when I got the bill.
