    Do you believe in ghosts/poltergeists?

    Toyota Recalls - Observations?

    I was simply making a statement about people that can't tell the accelerator pedal from the brake pedal. Two of these people I know, knew personally.

    Toyota Recalls - Observations?

    Yes, and take away their driver's license permanently . My senior next door neighbor had one of these runaway accelerations (a Honda actually) and hit a storage shed.

    What does it mean by "disposable?"

    I agree with you guys on the disposable razors. I use them until they are dull. The cost of name brand blades has gone way over the top. If I go to a restaurant and have a plastic spoon I have used, I will take it home with me and use it for my instant coffee every morning. It is amazing...
