  1. It is so weird to know that a widely used sweetener is made from coal tar.

    Thanks for your insight here. I never would've imagined ten years ago that I would drift into a diabetes-type-2 status. I'm still changing my diet and my beverages. I'm just grateful I can take a daily walk for as much as a mile without an oxygen concentrator (because I have COPD). I'm...

  2. Getting physically fit enough to get more gardening in

    You sound like an oldster, like me! Ever since I took up residence in our family's home, I kept a garden on the inner patio, and I had some potted citrus trees on the hillside patio. I'd been doing this for 20 years now. On the inner patio, I usually raise tomatoes and a few other...

  3. Could Carl Sagan Be Mistaken About The Samurai Crabs?

    Reminds me of a South Park episode, where a villainous segment of the human population reveal themselves to be Crab People. I'll tell you this, though! After the 2016 election, I suspect many of being either Crab People or Space Aliens. And how can you be sure?

  4. It is so weird to know that a widely used sweetener is made from coal tar.

    Today I'm going to work in my garden. But I need to resume my daily walk of 1/2 mile with 1/4 mile uphill. Right now, I'm eating my breakfast with my pills and ready to inhale my Trelegy. Yesterday, I felt pretty good about pushing a cart in the grocery store and other things I was doing.

  5. Question about EPA Gas-mileage specs for hybrid vehicles

    I've done this analysis myself, and I agree with what you show. I just acquired a set of good hearing aids. I suddenly hear noises my Trooper makes that I hadn't noticed before. I may have a slow oil leak that Blue Devil isn't fixing, and I was planning to spend $1,000 in the next year to...

  6. Question about EPA Gas-mileage specs for hybrid vehicles

    Actually, thank you Dr. Detroit for your summary analysis. I had already worked this out for myself several times. This is the reason I've held onto two 1995 vehicles for 21 years. I just went to the Shell station today . . . in So. California . . . . the Premium was $6.19/gal. It wasn't...

  7. It is so weird to know that a widely used sweetener is made from coal tar.

    igor and Larry -- I guess I was devastated to watch what happened to my mother, which didn't really begin to show itself until she was 88 (although she stopped driving her car at 80). But I think you are both right about this. I'm attempting to do as you suggest. Exercise is also especially...

  8. It is so weird to know that a widely used sweetener is made from coal tar.

    I think I've developed an aversion to crowding my schedule. I'm going forward to investigate the senior center and schedule a "debut". I don't think it costs much of anything. Certainly not something I cannot afford! I was just reading the obituary of my neighbor who died on December 31...

  9. Question about EPA Gas-mileage specs for hybrid vehicles

    I'm determined to keep the 95 Trooper and Nissan truck in tip-top shape and run them. If I get a new vehicle, it might be in two years or so. I can't say for sure. I'll have a better idea once i sell my Virginia property. My morale slipped today because I received a low-ball offer from what...

  10. It is so weird to know that a widely used sweetener is made from coal tar.

    I'll look into the Phase 2 supplement. Right now, I feel as if I should start another thread. To be brief, everybody knows I lost my brother in '22 and then my Moms in '23, and I live alone now in this house. I'm trying to sell a rental property back East, and spending money for health...

  11. It is so weird to know that a widely used sweetener is made from coal tar.

    My daily breakfast: 1 cup of plain classic Cheerios 1 handful of Pecan halves An appropriate amount of fresh lo-fat milk 1 banana, sliced into small pieces I would like to think that my weight would come down if I just eat this two or three times a day. But maybe I should limit myself to 1...

  12. Question about EPA Gas-mileage specs for hybrid vehicles

    California. I would think there MUST be incentives. Other factors incline me to be a bit cool about it. I'm constantly re-evaluating my personal economic situation. But I should be in good shape, particularly after I cash out that property, and even if I have to drop my asking price. It's...

  13. So our first long national nightmare was a few years long in the 70s

    Watergate. There was more trouble underlying Watergate than many people know. It linked vaguely to the CIA's involvement in the overthrow of Allende in Chile, which was supercharged by the Nixon Whitehouse. The same people who were burglarizing Watergate had burglarized Daniel Elsberg's...

  14. Question about EPA Gas-mileage specs for hybrid vehicles

    OK -- I think I understand. I'll keep trying to stretch my brain around that one.

  15. Random foot cramps that will hit, usually if feet get cold or after doing work

    I occasionally experienced something like this after sleeping or reclining on my sofa. It seemed that it emerged from pointing my foot like you'd expect a ballet dancer to do. It would be terrible and immobilizing, but what I needed to do was let my leg and foot relax, and it would go away.

  16. It is so weird to know that a widely used sweetener is made from coal tar.

    I'd like to THINK I care about my health; I agree that I am relatively naive. After the spot this morning with Velshi and his remarks about artificial sweeteners, I made another web query and very easily and quickly came up with this: Time Magazine: Artificial Sweeteners Aren't the Answer for...

  17. Question about EPA Gas-mileage specs for hybrid vehicles

    I don't quite understand what you mean.

  18. Happiness hacks

    When I retired, I also rebelled against maintaining sober, low-profile behavior. I started wearing this old brown cowboy hat; I grew the beard. It was my "costume" for being "Mr. Natural" or the eccentric old man who stirs things up in the grocery store while shopping. So I ALWAYS engage...

  19. It is so weird to know that a widely used sweetener is made from coal tar.

    Well, folks! Dr. Gaatjes most certainly initiated a very interesting thread. I've mentioned it elsewhere: Two years ago, my primary care doctor told me to cut back on soft drinks and bottled fruit juice because I had "pre-diabetic" blood sugar or A1C levels. Dummy that I am, I didn't pay...

  20. Question about EPA Gas-mileage specs for hybrid vehicles

    As the 76-year-old thumping my chest about my old 95 Trooper, I am slowly moving toward a decision point -- purchase of a new car. Of course, my situation doesn't really recommend it as a wise spending decision. The Trooper and my Nissan 95 hardbody truck are running tip-top, and I only drive...

  21. Question Two identical drives, very different noise profiles. Return the louder one?

    These issues had always been at the forefront of my computer-building efforts. I became fanatic about totally isolating drives from the computer case in the matter of metal-to-metal contact. I took the same effort with regard to the use of cooling fans. With "shock-absorbers" or other means...

  22. Just built a new computer and its taking quite long to boot.

    I had a BIOS flash "crash" with an ASUS Striker mobo for an Intel Q6600 Kenstfield processor. So before contacting ASUS for an RMA, I spent about $15 on another BIOS chip flashed to my make, model and version BIOS. It's just a fact of life that the more RAM in its quantity that you put in...

  23. Apparently there's a thing about radios in cars.

    And that's it -- for me! My old Trooper is my only escape! Today, I drove down to the truck farm to buy vegetables, swung by the grocery deli for some fried chicken, and took the long way home for today's entertainment -- a John Coltrane album. We could enjoy radio more when we had to...

  24. A Possible and Minor Vapor-Lock Cause with My Old Trooper

    Before either testing it myself or having my shop do it, I think there's a good chance above all that the fuel pressure regulator -- "the fuel injection pressure regulator" or "fuel pressure control valve" -- is the culprit. That's a $50 part. But I think this was an item where ease-of-repair...

  25. A Possible and Minor Vapor-Lock Cause with My Old Trooper

    TornMind, PCGeek and ToastedLightly have some useful ideas which I will explore. Hans! That's what my dentist told me when I mentioned that my rental property was being listed for sale! "You've likely got 14 years left to live. Spend the money! Buy a new car!" I bought the SUV in 2002 --...

  26. A Possible and Minor Vapor-Lock Cause with My Old Trooper

    Yes -- fuel injection. What do you mean by "I cold, it's not vapor lock . . . "? I suppose that I'm keen on this matter of the starter turning over too long when the engine is still hot after sitting more than 10 minutes -- I just replaced the starter motor last year, so I don't want to...

  27. Stuck joint

    Ha! First thing I thought of with a topic of "Stuck joint" -- it must have been rolled too tightly. You know -- them Oklahoma boys roll their joints all wrong -- they're way to skinny and they're far too long -- I ain't a holy roller and I use a bong -- them Oklahoma boys roll their joints...

  28. It is so weird to know that a widely used sweetener is made from coal tar.

    Do they have Cicadas in the Netherlands? There are two varieties of these bugs in the states. Depending on the species or variety, their larvae remain dormant in the ground for 17 years or a different number of extended years. I advise you Google Cicada. So every 17 years -- or otherwise...

  29. A Possible and Minor Vapor-Lock Cause with My Old Trooper

    Yes, you have known for about five or six years that I am obsessed with this old, orphaned '95 SUV. And people who are OCD about their vehicles may take some little thing, expand it in their imagination and worry or fret about it without end! Couple weeks ago, I took her in to my Solid Gold...

  30. Windshield washer repair

    I thought I was able to take care of the nozzles with a sewing needle. Now that you mention it, I should be surprised at those silly-rubber hoses and related parts with my old Trooper. Going on 30 years, I'd have thought something would go wrong. Even so, I've had to replace the...

  31. Only 31% of Americans want an EV or PHEV. What about you?

    I'd occasionally thought my old Trooper was underpowered, but it wasn't designed for the drag strip; it's a 4WD designed for 4WD terrain. I DO get respect from Jeep owners, assuming the road-warrior equivalent of body language I see when I'm driving. The buzzy little subcompacts and...

  32. Only 31% of Americans want an EV or PHEV. What about you?

    I just had a conversation with my brother. He's a die-hard climate denier, and blows off the notion of getting an EV. We were discussing investments, and I mentioned a certain well-known car company which had made advances in battery technology, likely to sell it to the rest of the vehicle...

  33. Grocery stores nickel and diming us by overcharging

    You put a whole nightmare in one sentence.

  34. Latest Entry For The Trooper LS Journal -- Fuel Pump Replacement

    Torn Mind has an interesting thread about fuel injectors and O-rings -- pertaining to fuel delivery in his Toyota. Here, I offer the amateur hindsight of an OCD SUV owner about expert opinions and subtle deterioration effects. I must have noted it in prior threads and posts about my old 95...

  35. Collision shop repair cost sticker shock

    I agree about cars that have been totaled by an insurance company, when it gets to the point where they commit the decision to paper. 40 years ago, I was keeping a fleet of Honda Civics repaired and running, and I affiliated myself with some good ol' boy country mechanics in Virginia. After...

  36. Collision shop repair cost sticker shock

    Over the last 20 years with my old '95 Trooper, I've had fender-benders. Once, I backed into a sedan when we were both leaving the bank parking lot. Damage to my car was a small creased dent in the corner of the lower rear quarter-panel, and a broken tail-light lens from which I'd saved all...

  37. Maybe older cars are just better??

    I myself am very skeptical and unenthused about "self-driving" vehicles. Whattaya buy a Logitech joystick or even an Oculus Rift for?! so you can DRIVE, even by just "waving your arms"!!! I don't trust much of it. I -- MYSELF -- brought my 1995 Trooper into the 21st century, with gadgets...

  38. Apparently there's a thing about radios in cars.

    I suppose I'd use radio -- either AM or FM -- in conditions warranting real-time weather information, but I could get that anyway with my cell-phone and internet. I long ago tired of listening to some DJ's choice of music on FM, but it was also a good mood-enhancer with the right station...

  39. The Free Grift Economy

    paradoxically, it would not have come to this but for an explosion of opportunity for self-expression and communication among billions of chimpanzees. So you also have a wider opportunity for hucksters such as the OP cites. Long ago, people wrote carefully crafted letters to their elected...

  40. The whole country needs to rise up against these bought and paid for arrogant fs

    I weary of explaining my point of view anymore. Courtroom conviction of a crime is biased toward protecting the innocent, with what I call "unreasonable certainty". Compare it to the CSI or detective sense of things, acquiring the largest amount of evidence to assure a conclusion that is...
