I think I was like 6 when I started making silk flowers and matchbox cars in a tiny Hong Kong apartment. I thought I was pretty lucky.

When I open the garage door to get out to work one day, one of the HOA board members was waiting outside my garage with a camera. A few days later, I got a picture of inside of my garage, and a "courtesy" letter to tell me it need to be all clean up in two weeks, otherwise, I need to go to the...

RO filter typically have two or more stages of prefiltering (sediment and carbon) and one stage of post filtering (carbon). As IR2 said, you need to change these filter regularly, otherwise, the water quality and RO membrane life will suffer. The prefilter and post filter usually last about a...

There are people who are on food stamps and unemployed and drive a much better car than you and me, and there are people who make 6 figures, and can't pay off their credit card every month. In America, welfare and wealth are not as black and white as you think (in a way, this is a good thing)...

You probably tighten them too much. Get a better filter if you have the space under the sink. I got a Reverse Osmosis filter more than ten years ago, and it is still working great. Costco used to sell these for like $100.

If you add up all the odds on the site that is related to you, the expected life span of Americans would be less than 5 yrs, and need to visit ER on a daily basis. Odd of injury due to drinking straws 1 in 100,600 odd of injury due to leaf blower 1 in 141,100 ..... toothbrush 1 in...

Very sad. Condolences to his family.

I found a nice Trek bike for my boy for $40. Nice some lube and oil, but it is certainly a bargain. I also got some other items from them whenever I stop by to drop off donation. Almost all are bargains, but you need to be aware of what you are buying. Some items are overpriced, and better...

So you are planning to bomb a tower? <run away>

I often have to catch up on my sleep when I drive home on the I-5 in the afternoon. I can only do two things at once <embrassed>

You too? I was contacted first, so the money is mine! Move over!

Tell me about it! At one point, I have both parents from both sides living with us for several months. Made me feel like living in Kowloon Walled City.

Off topic, but I wonder if the law for pedestrian access really is a state law, or only applies to Irvine. I see a lot of gated communities in Tustin, for example, and I can't get inside via the pedestrian gate. It can be an issue when I need to get candy for the Halloween.

I brought two Vizios. One of them won't turn on, and I call the customer service, figure that it is a simple power supply issue that can be fix cheaply. They never return my call, so after about a week, I return it to Costco and got a full refund. It was before Costco get smart and does not...

It probably be cheaper to get a new door installed, but my HOA sent me a letter about it. I need to get it repainted since parts of it are peeling off. Whoever did the paint job never do a good job preping the door, and after a few years of sun's UV, the paint came off. Anyway, I called a...

Isn't CapitalOne in the watch list? This is why I never bother with them... are they in better shape than before?
