    I'm looking to buying a Sleep Number mattress. Any SVTP folks own one? Any recommendations/advice?

    We are on our second Sleep Number - only because we decided to go up to king size from a queen size. The queen we had the option for the vibration massager, but since we found we never used it we didn't get it on the king. The one thing my wife wishes we had opted for was the "split king" so...

    Port Huron is my hometown! Grew up a few blocks from the St. Clair River and Pine Grove Park right where the Blue Water Bridges are located. I remember when the first 1,000 footer came through - everyone was lined up in the park waiting to see it.

    OMG OMG OMG

    I was on I-94 in my 2013 Mustang convertible, driving about 75 following a pick up truck and keeping a respectable distance. He was carrying traffic cones in a stack on his front bumper. One lifted up of course that I couldn't see given the size of the truck and landed in front of him. The truck...

    New ride

    My wife loves her MKZ. She is on her 4th one. We almost bought the Continental last time but she didn't want to spend that much, and she knew that she liked the MKZ and wanted to stick with it. Very nice car for long trips.

    Drones.........who's in charge?

    Biden White House and FBI, "We don't know whose they are. We don't know where they are from. We don't know anything about them. But we determined that they aren't a threat." Okay, it's obvious. Sergeant Schultz is in charge of the nation right now.

    Home generator question

    My Generac on this home and my last one were both installed at the house. Not sure why your installer is saying it has to be at the pole. Although we are on natural gas not propane, but no idea why that would make a difference. It seems to me that since the generator ties into your house panel...

    NWS Pics that make you :lol: every time you see them NWS

    When I lived in Winston Salem I used to laugh going into my office. Mid 50's and sunny and I pulled into the parking garage with the top down and walked in wearing my sport coat. People who grew up there were wearing winter coats, gloves, winter boots, and winter stocking caps. They would ask...

    Favorite bar?

    We like the happy hour at Single Barrel Social in Brighton, Michigan. We usually just grab a seat at the bar and have gotten to know the bartenders pretty well, and the executive chef usually comes out to talk with us too. Great selection of whiskey, and for happy hour they have a monthly theme...

    SVTP stock pick thread.

    When I was working with financial planners the question always came up "when should I start collecting my social security". We had the answer. First, tell me when you are going to die. Once we know that we can tell you when the best time to start collecting is for you. Otherwise the "best"...

    Judge dismisses charges against Alec Baldwin

    The result sucks but it is appropriate. If the prosecution acts this way, then the judge has no choice but to dismiss. Keeping evidence, even if the prosecution says "but it isn't material" from the defense is misconduct that taints the process. It doesn't stop the civil suit that will be brought.

    Who has the Best Fried Chicken - Split Thread

    When it comes to wings my wife and I like a local place just a mile from our house. They have a smokehouse so the wings are smoked, no breading, no grease. Nice big wings too.

    Who has the Best Fried Chicken - Split Thread

    My wife says the collard greens are the best. Slappy's was between my office downtown and home and many afternoons she would call and say "I don't feel like cooking tonight, can you stop by Slappy's"

    Best fried chicken is at a little place in Winston Salem, NC -- Slappy's Chicken. You can get it with the spicy sauce on it or on the side (my wife always got it on the side so she had control over how much). Just chicken and sides there. If you ever find yourself in Winston Salem you have to...
