    Shortage of Kona Coffee

    Went to buy Tully's Kona blend K-cups; Keurig has a note saying there's a short supply. Ended up buying Green Mountain Kona blend. So if you like that kind of coffee, buy it while you can: Specialty Coffee Shortage Is Looming On the Near Horizon

    Friday chuckle

    A duck walks into a pub and orders a pint of beer and a ham sandwich. The barman looks at him and says, "Hang on! You're a duck." "I see your eyes are working," replies the duck. "And you can talk!," exclaims the barman. "I see your ears are working, too," says the duck. "Now...

    Painless dent repair

    Got a fairly deep dent in the door from either a car door or shopping cart when parked at the food store. Best estimate was $500-$700 by conventional methods. But the body shop suggested I use the fellow who does paintless dent repair for the dealership. He came out to the house and, slipping...

    LoJack

    According to the Service Manager at my Ford dealer, LoJack is kaput. The phone numbers on the literature are all disconnected. He helped me locate and disconnect the LoJack units in my 2 Mustangs (under the rear seat) and now the battery discharge problems are gone. I took one unit apart; it...

    Question for Cable Heads

    For many years my cable provider, Wideopenwest, has provided an analog converter box feeding the televisions in our house. There was no restriction on the number of TVs you could hook up.

    Strange

    So my wife used the Ford dealer installed remote starter on our 2011 Edge last night. I got in and without thinking put it in gear and started home. Got 8 miles before the ignition shut off, right in the middle of heavy traffic. Previous cars would immediately shut down until you put in the key...

    About puppies

    Alright you dog owners, is is normal for puppies (12 weeks old) to "wig out" and start growling and flipping their chew toys? My little Gizmo is normally a wonderfully calm and even-tempered dog, but sometimes he just goes berserk. It's a riot watching him chasing his tail and attacking his own...

    Dear Abbey

    Dear Abby: My husband has a long record of money problems. He runs up huge debts and I am allowed no say in the matter. Also, he has been so arrogant toward our neighbors that most of them no longer speak to us. The few that do are a very odd bunch that I'm convinced stick around because he...
