My relief valve started leaking about a month ago (been noticing higher water pressure in the house too), anyway...$12 for a new one at Lowes, 15 minutes to put it on. If you can unscrew a light bulb you can fix it yourself.

Anyone have them? A couple of months ago I ditched VZ DSL for Metrocast, the first month was fine, now I have problems with the service dropping in and out. Happens every day, I have to reboot the router and modem to get it working again. Had to do it several times today beginning around 4:00...

I don't see why you hate SS. Let's look at the numbers. Say I earn $2M lifetime, now SS is around 6.5% (it used to be less but we'll keep the calculations simple). OK 6.5% of $2M is $130K. SS will pay me $15K a year starting @ age 62. So, in less than 9 years I will have made back...

Wow, the Dems did all that, well they get my vote then!

I feel the love :love:

OK, when the left was bringing up an unnamed person's national guard record that was decried as spinning hate-mongering, n'est pas? I need to try harder at being a condescending liberal, I suppose.
