After reading this you may think it should have been the joke section. The sad truth is all this is TRUE. I work for a BIG well known retailer. These are for real. If you try to detain a shoplifter, you will be fired on the spot. No questions asked. A while they took out the alarms at the...

My wife of over 46 years had Heart surgery yesterday. We were told it would take between 1 1/2 and 2 hours. I was to called when they were done. Just over an hour later, a lady told us the Doctor wanted to see us in a conference room. The only thing any of us could think of that something had...

Needed to clean the inside of the Windshield. Could never get normal glass cleaners not to streak. Tried using windshield washer fluid and it worked better than anything else I've tried. The washer fluid with "De-icer" around here doesn't work for crap. Tried an old can of De-icer, no...

I had a bunch of mushrooms in my lawn. I knew if I just pulled them out or raked they out they would be back the next day. I checked the internet to find out what to do. SOO SIMPLE! Mix 3 tablespoons of Dish Soap in one gallon of water. With a large screw driver, poke holes all around and in...

I want to clean and paint my concrete Laundry Tubs. There is lots of kits on the market to refinish your Bath Tubs. I don't think the prep is the same. Has anyone done this? Can I just sand it and clean with a strong solvent and then paint it? As always, the budget is a issue. Thanks, Mike

A few days ago, I was cleaning out a little bit of the black hole.(AKA basement) I came across a 14" long Montgomery Ward paint stirring stick. Never been used. It has been buried for at 49 years. I have never shopped at Wards since I moved to Colo. in late 1969. All the Wards stores I...

As a lot of you may there was a shooting in the Denver area early this morning. Several people were wounded, some were police. One Police Officer was killed. The sheriff said it looked like a planned ambush. Approx 100 rounds were fired. It appears that most may have been fired by the...

I heard about this a couple of months ago. To remove paint from hinges and knobs when painting inside the house, put them in an OLD pan and just boil them for about 25 - 30 minutes. I just set the kitchen timer when the water is at a rolling boil and take it with me The paint comes off in large...

What for the FABO folks thankful for? I'll start. As some of you may remember, I had a Lung Transplant last Dec. and have done just GREAT!! There is something else that I am much more thankful for. Tomorrow it will be 7 years to the day since my wife had Cancer surgery. There has been NO...

What good are old Business cards? I started using them to make lists. Screws, nuts, bolts and etc. for a trip to the hardware store. Grocery store. A list of what I need to when I'm going some where. What else do you or could you use them for? Mike

I tried Zep Commercial Power Tub & Tile Cleaner. It is the first product that REALLY does what it claims. My kitchen sink is double cast iron/ porcelain model that is about 70 years old. It did some stains that would just not come out even with bleach. My daughter told me about this Zep...

Kay and I went there for dinner last night. When we arrived, I saw two parking spaces next to the Handicapped that had a sign I had never seen before. They said Combat Wounded. In the center was a Purple Heart. This choked me up more than a little! I made a point of telling the Manager how...

I was cleaning out one of the Black Holes (cabinets) in the garage and found a can of Blue Coral wax. I bought it in late 68 or 69. I opened the classic red and blue can and found it is still good! I used a little on a fender of my 66 Barracuda. Went on with no problem. Rubbed off with all...

As some of you may remember, I had a single lung transport on Dec. 29 last year. I did something today that I never have tried. I finished a 5K run/walk in a little under an hour. This was a fund raiser for the donor program in Colo. and Wyo. PLEASE folks, if you are not a organ donor think...

The most important thing is to give all of you the biggest thanks for your support. My daughter did a supper job letting you know what was going on. Recovery started at a good pace. The operation was from 9:00 PM on Dec.29 to 1:00 Am on the 30th. I got just a left lung. One week later, at...

I have a .45 ACP pistol. It was made under license from and using Colt machines by the Argentina government . It is one of 7628 made that year for the Army. So all parts are perfect interchanges for any 1911 of the time. Workmanship is good, bluing is still in great shape, and the plain...

Hello all, this is DenverMike's daughter. My beloved Daddy got the call last night to come in to the hospital for a potential lung transplant again. So we are in the hospital now waiting to hear from the surgeons. Apparently the lung is coming from Utah but the surgeon sounded very excited...

I have been on a Lung transplant list for about six months. Last Sunday at about 4PM I got a call from the Hospital. They said they had a donor and I needed to start for the Hospital. My daughter gave me a ride and my son met us there. I called my wife to tell her the good news. She is at...

First a short history. In Jan. 2009 I picked up a Lung infection that almost killed my. For 3 days the Docs told my family they didn't know if I would make it. I was in a coma on life support for 2 weeks and in the hospital for 2 more weeks after that. I lost 80% of my lung function. Since...

Got your PM a while back. Haven't got this new system figured out yet. For now, send me a PM with your address and I'll drop you a line. Mike

The church we go to has a Potluck Thanksgiving dinner each year. The church provides and cooks the Turkey. We all bring the rest. This year, I have asked the church invite the crew on duty at the Fire Station to come join us. Remember, we spent the day with our families, they spent the day...

It was time to replace my American Flag. I found one the right size, 3' x 5', and heavy duty. I found a statement that closed the deal. All flags made by Annin Flagmakers are made with materials that 100% of domestic origin and 100% USA labor. It will never get better than that. Found it at...

Yesterday was a bad day to say the least!! Not only were the Marines killed but a Firefighter here in Denver died from job injuries. If you have a flag at home and or at work, PLEASE fly it at Half Mast until the end of the Thur. July 23. If you don't have a flag at home, I think this would...

The Great Escape is one of my all time top movies. As I was doing research about my father in law's WWII service, I learned about the real "Great Escape". About 85% of what is in the movie is REAL. The real escape took place at Stalag Luft #3. If you are a student of or enjoy WWII history...

A couple of days ago my wife went to the grocery store. When her got home, she started to get one bag out of the car and come in. I would get the rest. She is 71 and is having a bad time with a hip and a knee and is using a cane. A Fedx truck was coming down the street and saw what she was...

Went to Sam's Club to pick up my wife's Rx Drugs. Pulled into a HC (Handicapped) spot. Noticed a well used pick up in the next HC space. As I got out of my car, I noticed the pick up didn't have a HC Placard hanging on the review mirror. In the bed there was a wheelbarrow and some other...
