I seem to have got discounted gas when I filled up on the way to work this morning. Prices had been down to about $2.72 for a few weeks but they just went up to about $2.94 now. But there is this one BP station that's still at $2.72. So I stopped there. The pump said I had to pay inside. I did and then when I was gassing up the car I saw the price on the pump was actually $2.22/gal. This is all for 87 oct regular.

I've been doing it on my PC. I never do it from the phone. It used to send me a text to my phone for the two step authentication. It does this right on the PayPal page that's bookmarked on my PC. EDIT: I finally found a way around it. I just had to create a new password, now its working the way it did before.

Anyone else having trouble to get into their PayPal account? I type in the six numbers it tells me to And then it fails no matter how many times I try. All I can do is Submit feedback which says that the challenge isn't working.

Not answering the phone doesn't do anything. It always get answered even when nobody's home, we have an answering machine. Of course legitimate callers will leave a message. -

I usually try to just use a real teller in the bank. There are so many scams to be on the lookout for. A couple of phone scams I recently got was "Why haven't you claimed your prizes yet?" and a "raffle" prize. I gave them very nasty responses and called them out as scammers. -

Those phone calls are quite an annoyance. We get them on our land line. I pick them up, don't say a word, then hang up. But if someone speaks up, I mean a live person then I am rude to them. All I say is "WHAT DO YOU WANT?" Sometimes they speak up so then I'm rude and call them out as scammers from a boiler room in India. Sometimes they just hang up because they don't know what to say because they are probably expecting to hear a "Hello". Ignoring the calls just sends them to the answering machine, at least I cut the ringing short. They're never going to stop so rudeness is all they get. Most of the the time they're just automated, instant hang ups. Live people, instant rudeness. -
He sure gave us the best quality model kits. Sorry to see him pass.

Hobby Paint Shaker For Under $10, How To Make Your Own
Mike C replied to hpiguy's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
I've been using a Badger mixer for years. It's better than a shaker. When the pigments settle at the bottom of the bottle it gets thick. And if you have to add more solvent to the paint the mixer will do a better job although you can make a mess if you're not careful.- 39 replies

Hydraulic brakes were on mountain bikes for about 20 years before that started appearing on road bikes, since about the late 90's. I have a 2000 Cannondale SuperV700SX that came with hydraulic brakes. They even used to make hydraulic rim brakes too.
