    Just saw this on Drudge Report

    I would agree. They have to be a huge target. My guess - like you - is Amazon has top notch IT folks. Their entire business is based on IT that is invisible to the customer. You find a product, click buy-it-now and the thing shows up a day or two later. All the IT behind that is not simple...

    A federal warrant has been issued for my arrest! :-O

    Yes - they phone blast all the numbers they have hoping some will stick. For warranties, mortgages, and a whole lot if other stuff. If someone bites, the call center signs you up and contacts the real seller and gets a finders fee. MoKelly

    I agree. I always wear hearing protection when mowing or hogging. But, I take them off when starting up and first beginning. I do worry about not hearing an issue once I have the hearing protection on - but I’d hope I’d feel something amiss before it’s too late. MoKelly

    Need advice on a lawn tractor.

    Jealously and envy have always been with humans. Not everyone is smart enough or able to take risks to make money. Most want someone to employ them and pay them so they can go home to relax. Others build a business at 100% personal risk, work 24/7 and fail. Start again. Become successful and...

    True if you have an orchard or want large scale. You can self pollinate an individual apple tree for the backyard. We’ve been doing it for 3 years and get great apples for eating. It takes a little time but only in the Spring when the flowers bloom. Small time operation but it works. MoKelly
