They went bankrupt once I'm aware of , been investigated by the FTC at least once, but like zombies, they keep coming back. Wait! Are you saying Ice-T would lead me astray?501Views0likes0CommentsRe: Camping World takes too long to ship
Prime has been horrible. It’s one thing to be told when you order an item that it will take s week to get. But I’ve Ordered items that claim to be 2 day delivery, told again when ordered it will take two days then it takes a week to get the item. I recently ordered something from Walmart, was told it would take a week then received it in 3 days.696Views0likes0CommentsRe: Android vs Apple
When my iPhone was on its last legs my son convinced me to go with an android phone. While it is ok, I found the operating system to be a bit quirky in that it sometimes just didn’t do what it was supposed to do. It is hard to describe, but it just doesn’t work as expected all the time. Not so with iOS. I never had a problem with the iphone other than it was very old, and have never had a problem with my iPad. It always works exactly as expected. The downside is you can’t add memory, and apps are sometimes more limited. When my quirky android gives up the ghost, I’m definitely going back to an iPhone.214Views0likes0CommentsRe: Chinese Versus TAIWAN Hand Tools

Yup, my hand tools are Craftsman circa 70's -early 80's . . with a few exceptions.... Like the few snap On's I have from when I worked at the gas station, and drove for AAA... Back when Craftsman was GOOD....... Sears was my first credit card as well, got it in 1978. I did the same as you, bought a few tools paid it off and built credit. I still have most of my Craftsmen tools from the era and they still work great. Anything Craftsmen tools bought after the mid 90s turned out to be junk, and they got worse and worse. I wouldn’t touch a Craftsmen tool now.342Views0likes0CommentsRe: Floor paint
You don’t need the epoxy paint, just get porch paint. It adheres to wood very well, and is durable. I like the idea of the vinyl plank too. Just beware that some can be very heavy. I installed it in the basement of my house and it weighs about 55# per 24 ft2. Not all is that heave, but some certainly is! Also, the installation instructions state it isn’t for installation where it gets below freezing.309Views0likes0CommentsRe: Chinese Versus TAIWAN Hand Tools

And some craftsmen tools are now made in China. Most often you get what you pay for. Aren’t most Craftsmen tools made in China? I’m not sure there’s been a quality Craftsmen tool made for years now.236Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cd's into zip drive so I can play them in new car
