Oddly, no. I receive several e-mail invitations a day to complete surveys for cash. As an 'umble family doc they can be worth $25-100 (I understand my wife gets offers far higher and she does fill them in to put the money towards Pippa's Place . The thing that has burnt me is the sheer cleverness o...

I just got an IPad as a birthday present. Totally a surprise. I had admired it from seeing and playing the Angry Birds". :D Anyhow, I had always said that I would resist the movement to e-books, until I found out that the IPad has a free Kindle reader. Well, I will never go back. I love this du...

Well said Murray and I agree. +1 didn't seem appropriate here.

Hahaha, and I bet you are all itchy all over thinking about it being so close, yet so far.
I know the feeling well my friend but try not to think about it.

My 1st took 6 weeks as the U.S. Post Office had "misplaced". It eventually made it, and Lee was even so kind as to offer to make me another. Fortunately the tracking showed it as delivered to the PO and not to me. My 2nd was more normal at around 11 days. Did I ever tell you that I hate th...

The brush is the biggest variable; Mike +1 I agree Mark. I could pretty much settle down on any of the razors, blades, soap, and A/S that I have. Brushes are a whole different critter. I have 2 that I would have a hard time saying either is superior to the other. M&F 28MM blonde badger Rooney H...

During the Watts riots, there was a small collection of Korean shop owners, whose grocery stores, dry cleaners, etc., who banded together. They had rifles and positioned themselves near the properties or on rooftops and protected their property. From Wikepedia: =================================== Al...

Is it my imagination or are there hints of pepper in the Speick AS balm ?
Or is it some other spice ?

This reminds me of the Watts riots. I was living in Los Angeles then and my office was right on the fringe of the rioting area. It was very unsettling indeed to drive to work past a machine-gun emplacement, sand-bags and all. I sure don't want it to get to that level again. I witnessed a "disen...

Fascinating. I love pepper and I bet mixed with mint that it is outstanding. I wish there were a supplier in the U.S.A.

We do too David, especially frozen food. If we can't find something made in USA, we look for something else.

Just got it yesterday and it's a daunting and mighty work.

Very interesting to me in that I have the M&F as one of my top 2 brushes. What intrigues me is that Tim is choosing a Saville Row as his preference. I have never tried a SR and wonder what I have been missing and how it would compare to the M&F. Cool, another project. I am thinking that they...

I have that exact same brush and just finished using it. It was tough to put it down and I almost wish that the time devoted to lathering was longer.

Good morning guys, and happy birthday USA. Y'all have really got me interested in one of these, especially David's glowing recommendation for a model "N". Unfortunately, I wouldn't know one even if it bit me. Could someone point me to a site where I could see what one looks like, or is the...

Hi Steve and this is a tough thing to do. What I always say when asked for this kind of advice is this. Imagine that your best friend has a dog just like Buddy, and just described this situation to you. A loving and loved dog going through what looks like to be interminable troubles. What advice wou...

Howdy folks.

Could you point me to a site that will help me identify a Schick injector that I got as part of a grab bag. It's in the case with probably a plastic handle and a case of blades.

thanks

That's what I was thinking Franz. Good catch.
