Is this an example of a 'single use product' or just planned obsolescence?
Shouldn't The Consumer Product Safety Commission prohibit the sale of stoves made of wood?

From the NJ Forum:

"hi everyone question I'm helping a friend of mines in buying a single family Home"


Hmmm...Do you suppose that the "friend of mines" is a canary?
If so...where does that bird get the scratch?

There's another thread in one of the state forums about "wreckless" driving. I think that subject has come up here before - wreckless driving sure sounds good, but people post about being arrested for it.

And in another forum, there's this exchange:

"Are we talking about [A] or [b]?"

"They are one in the same."

I've been a wreckless driver for 34 years. Somehow I've gotten away with it. That would make a good bumper sticker: "Wreckless Driver, 34 Years".

Comment on a news story: "The love of money is the route of all evil".

No doubt it's a primrose path.

This drives me crazy:

"I did it on accident..."
"She said to come over than we can leave together."

BY accident
THEN leave

So you haven't been in any wrecks for 34 years, sounds to me like you're not a reckless driver.
