    awash in space aliens

    You missed the point! Yes alien space craft are a highly unlikely thing. I am saying that many of the sightings of "UFOs" could very likely be our own black programs mixed with the loony fringe providing a degree of clutter to make professions of sightings a laughing matter.

    awash in space aliens

    Could be a smoke screen for the latest military vehicle (air breathing or something more advanced). Look to the past for hints of this type of obs-curation by the military. Before the gulf war, the F-117 was an unknown vehicle to the public and many military even in the US. The F-117 just...

    Cataract Surgery Options

    I was told 2 years ago that I should have cat surgery. I went to another eye doctor to get a second opinion and was told that it really wasn't that bad. I agree with the second doctor. I'll wait and see. I will also get another second opinion as I feel the first Dr. is a little pushy and...

    How often do strangers ask you for money?

    Many years ago (70s) I went to New Orleans for a week in the spring. When I first got there I was hit left and right by people for money. I just started doing the same as they were doing and I was left alone!

    Anyone else NOT watch the news?

    I immediately had to respond after reading the first post. Ignore what is going on and you risk not only your rights and future but the future of your loved ones. From what I see, our country and the world is in need of some good old common sense. If you don't care what happens to your...

    Thoughts on Inherited IRA Withdrawals

    This whole discussion had me quite worried at first. Then when I parsed out that there were really two situations being talked about, I stopped worrying. I have a roth and it all goes to my wife and then the kids if she is already gone. She would not be taxed if I go. The kids have 10 years...

    USAF retirees offered opportunity to "unretire"

    Only one. The T-29. The rest were F-105G and then the F-4G. My brother flew C-130. He flew special ops to drop off snake eaters. My father started off in the army air corp in WW2 flying bombers. Middle brother wa a snake eater. He just jumped out of them.

    Kitchen faucet replacement easy DIY?

    This is definitely a good tip. I hired a guy to put my last faucet in. This guy couldn't fit under the sink much less reach up to the connections. I ended up doing it myself while he watched.

    USAF retirees offered opportunity to "unretire"

    I seriously doubt the AF would want me back. Been retired for 30 years, got a pacemaker, and the airplanes I flew were retired a long time ago.

    Miss America 2024 -- amazing

    Had a few rides in the F-16 Big Mouth in my last flying assignment. What a wonderful air machine! Very intuitive and responsive to commands. Our squadron flew mixed pairs of F-16 and F-4G. It is a far cry from what I used to fly F-4G and F-105G.

    Electromagnetic pulse protecter (EMP) vs surge protector?

    I'm still one the fence on getting one that protects against EMP. They are not cheap and it seems that for total protection (house, generator, car) several units would be needed. They aren't cheap and the cost vs probability of needing one is what I am wrestling with on this purchase. One...

    Electromagnetic pulse protecter (EMP) vs surge protector?

    Thanks for the replies. I looked on line some more and there are a lot of people selling them. I just couldn't see where these devices were any better than the surge protectors I already have. The natural gas generator I have is whole house and should be usable for a while if we have a...
