Very good advice. Most any vet who was on active duty and received an honerable discharge can get VA health care. Of course, as Patty pointed out, the level of care varies greatly.

OK, major misunderstanding on my part. Again, so sorry. I assumed my Dad's hearing aids were free because for years he refused to pay money to buy them. Anyway...

- Yes, my dad has a Medicare...

I'm sorry for suggesting something bogus. I'm not on Medicare and I don't know the details. I do know my Dad is on Medicare and he recently got hearing aids. I will talk with him tonight and get the...

Major bummer. I'm sorry your local VA is so awful.

I will check with my dad to get the details. I know he didn't pay for his hearing aids and he has Medicare.

Oh yeah, lots of car washes built in the Colorado Springs area over the past ten years.

A new car wash went up near my house several months ago. They have a monthly payment plan which gives you...

I'm into home theater.

The quality of DVD/Blueray players varies a lot. If the DVD/Blueray player is plugged into a receiver, that can change the ultimate picture on a TV. Some receivers have...

I recently found a picture of my great-grandfather's tombstone. Apparently, it was made of sandstone.

I'm a Cold War Veteran; Active Duty US Navy 1983-1993. I never served in a combat zone. I walked into a VA clinic and they signed me up for medical care. If you're an honorably discharged veteran,...

Premium fuel doesn't have any more detergents than regular or midgrade. Decades ago oil companies attempted to cash in on premium gasoline by putting better detergents into it compared to regular and...

Your skepticism is on track. Premium gasoline has no more energy than lower octane gasoline and therefore does not produce more power. 100% gasoline does have more energy per drop than a ethanol...

While I've never worked at a service center, I have been working on cars and trucks since the late 1970s. I have rebuilt many engines. I have restored multiple classic cars. I don't think that makes...

Lately, the signs I'm seeing read, "Baby Up In This Bitch". Modern vernacular, I suppose.

Local talking heads keep repeating over and over to not use sunglasses or welding helmets. Not sure what's real, but I wouldn't change losing my eyesight to a welding helmet.

^^ Yup.

- All the gas stations in a given area get their fuel from the same distribution point. The only variable is the additives package and water is not among those additives.

- Any modern...

So you're dead set on Windows 7. OK. But I have to ask why. That's like saying, "I'm not putting locks on my doors because I don't like that newfangled key technology". Yeah, MAJOR security risk.

Sounds like I just need to plant a Fairytale Forest in my yard. Those seem to be low-maintenance. Might be a problem keeping it watered here on the front range...

Hemlock is also a chemical. So yeah, as I stated, I'm concerned using herbicides might cause problems in the future when I plant trees and a vegetable garden. The Amish tend to be very resourceful....

Would preen cause problems later with planting trees or a vegetable garden?

Hey, apparently a weed torch is a thing. Thanks. I had not considered that.

Likely there is dirt between the rock and the landscaping fabric. Clearing out the dirt would involve completey removing the rock. MAJOR project.

Those are both chemicals.

The weeds poke right through the fabric. The same thing happened at my previous house, but the rock beds were much smaller and it was easier to manage the weeds. Landscape fabric works for a couple...

My house has rock beds in the front and back yards. We can get a lot of water restrictions in Colorado Springs which is why the previous owners of my house opted for rock beds over grass. The front...

The propaganda works. People think it's every government and every actual scientist who are lying.
