In principle, I agree with that but in practice; when you've got to go, you've got to go. I have been nauseated every time I entered a public lavatory where waterless urinals were installed. I have certainly avoided those lavatori

In principle, I agree with you but in practice, I so loathe the stink of waterless urinals that on the inside, I'm glad they did that.

I'm not sure which I hate more. Union shenanigans or waterless urinals. They both stink. There are a few places here that use those urinals and the smell hits me in the face every time I enter the lavatory. In the case you describe, pe

What about a rat poison that doesn't hurt people? An insect poison? A fungus poison? A bacteria poison? Permethrin and cypermethrin come to mind. Highly toxic to arthropods but much less so to mammals.

My grandfather has a beer refrigerator in his basement that was my uncle's college dorm refrigerator back in the 1980s. It has been in near constant operation for all of that time. I don't think anyone honestly expects that an ine

My house is about 70 years old. When I bough it in 2008, there were several old appliances (probably on the order of 25-30 years old) and they worked like champs, until the washing machine failed. I replaced it with a used old washing machi

I bought a $250 grill at Walmart 8 1/2 years ago. I still have that grill but I think I'll only get one more summer out of it. I have had to replace burners and heat shields twice but it still works. Every part that isn't sta

Being that I refused to work off the books hours, I had no unpaid wages. My co-workers might have gotten more out of it but since I got fired and they didn't, they should have been the ones to call.

I was a reluctant Trump voter. I didn't so much vote for Trump as against Hillary. I wouldn't have voted for Bernie either but I would have been more likely to follow my initial desire to case a protest vote for a third party cand

I was fired from a job once after I refused to work any time off of the books. They expected us to show up 10-15 minutes before the start of our shift to open and if we were on the later shift, they expected us to work 10-15 minutes after t

About a year and a half ago, I was out hunting and stopped to listen. I closed my eyes and absorbed all of the sounds around me. I got into the moment and when I opened my eyes, I had lost my bearings. I knew the area well enough that withi

That's fantastic. I'm considering self-publishing a fiction work that I'm working on as a hobby. It would be nice to turn my passion into a source of income.

I can't tolerate ads that mangle content. If the ad floats over the content. If the ad overlays my screen. If the ad forces me to do something to dismiss it, I don't care what the product is. I'm going to be less inclined to
