In the USA, you don't have a right to a bank account. In most cases, unless you bounced a check (There is a separate system banks use on checks. It not tied to credit agencies.) you can get an account by walking in with any check, or

You know those help wanted commercials Amazon floods media with, "We pay $15 to start, blah, blah. Start a new career." I just assumed they were always hiring because of consistent growth. According to the guy (forget his name.

It's loneliness in my case. I have no one to talk to that's close to my age, I do use it more when I'm depressed though. Books never did it for myself. I would read, but my mind would wander to negative thoughts, and my prob

The problem is when you have paid the tuition, and finished the degree, it's so hard to objectively rate it. I have a Bachelor's degree from a decent state school in California. At the time, I felt the courses were too easy, and m

My Goodwill in San Rafael takes all the good stuff that comes in the back, and it goes to the San Francisco store to put on ebay. The junk stays in the stores. Every once in awhile something of value does not automatically go to their int

To those interested in becomming a Watchmaker I can offer this: 1. The school route is great, but after the two year program you still won't get a parts account from anyone. You will have no problem finding a job though. 2. Self-tau

Parts rarely fail on watches from the 50's on, especially the better made watches that are sealed. Even those that arn't sealed very well, the parts seem to last. If a part does fail, it's usually the old blue steel mainspri

I can add this to those that gained a bit of weight, and have a sewing machine, or just a needle and thread. Most pants, even the cheap pants at Costco, have about a 1" to 2" at the back seam of excess fabric. Be it cheap, or expe

1st picture there's a typewriter. And why not. (I sometimes think we threw the baby out with the bath water.) He needs to make a shipping label. No problem. No computer. No printer. No special labels.

I guess being called an "old man" has been around forever. When I was younger my version of an old man was anyone over 30. I kept upping it the older I got. I used to throw around the "Don't trust anyone over 30."

In most counties in California you are free to buy land. After that, just expect to pay property taxes unless you have money to build exactly the home they sign off on. I once was ready to buy a reasonable small piece of land in Bolinas aft
