Tobacco is seriously addictive, has a very poor benefit/risk ratio, is associated with aortic aneurysms (only 100 cigarettes/lifetime is enough to increase the risk), heart disease, pulmonary disease, cancer of the lungs esophagus and throat/mouth, peripheral arterial disease, etc. It takes seeing someone with a tracheostomy with a cigarette sticking out of it to see what a bugger of a drug it i

Cereal - just check the label for the amount of sugar. Raisin Bran contains a heck of a lot. 6 grams or less is not bad. Better yet is if sugar/corn syrup/cane juice crystals do not appear in the ingredients. Better not to use any sort of sweetener; after a while, you won't miss the sweetness for most cereals.

For what it's worth: Another vote for replacing the battery.
I tried filling a maintenance-free battery back in the 1990's. It made no difference.
Yes, it's yet another in the long line of expenses, but with a battery that old having gone below 11V on occasion, it's likely that it's not long for this world.

I like film for shooting sunsets, or just the sky in general. My digital cameras seem to take pictures in some parallel dimension. I shot a sliver of a crescent moon, but the picture shows a full moon. I shot a picture of a beautiful red/purple sky, and got a picture of a fairly clear blue sky.

I have that issue!
That was one good magazine. I never threw a single issue of it away. Their series on op-amps was particularly good.

Just remember: This is temporary. The situation will improve. Look to the end-point, and try to avoid focusing on the path itself. That's what I've been telling myself recently - it helps to some degree.

I'll miss Agent Carter. This show was interesting, stylish, had great characters and potential for character growth, and was just plain fun.

In the late 1990's, I obtained a used Thorens turntable with a new Blue Point moving coil cartridge, and a used McCormack phono pre-amp. Despite the use of a carbon fiber brush, anti-static gun, and a DiscWasher, the progressive collection of dust caused enough new crackles/pops each time I played a record that I'd focus on the new unwanted sounds rather than the mu

What is the seller's feedback? What did others say? Any evidence seller is dishonest? If not, then I'd contact the seller first, then ebay if no resolution. The seller may just be disorganized or confused about this sale. If seller does not correct the error to your satisfaction, absolutely contact ebay.

Perhaps if they played it in February instead, the song wouldn't bother me as much.
