    Razors: DSC vs. Harry's vs. other

    I usually use a Braun electric shaver. I have a quite heavy beard. Blade razors give me great shaves but they irritate my skin after about 2 shaves. My electric was not working, so I had to buy a blade razor, and I bought a Gillette Mach3 razor for sensitive skin. Wow, now I get really good...

    Funny Story about The Mayor

    In the 1960's, I had a business law course by Professor Schrampher (Sp?). He also was a character and delighted in quizzing unprepared students. Some students didn't know that he actually wrote the class textbook. He took pleasure in finding one of those students and asking him what he...

    websites

    I quit Rivals in 06 and joined fanatics. Rivals and Paul were good, but the posts became too argumentative. Not much civil discussion. This site, at times, is becoming like that. But this is still the best Cyclone site.

    Hoiberg Undergoes Successful Surgery

    How in the world could a person be a good patient under those circumstances. His life, as he had imagined it, had come to an end. He was probably more scared than at any time in his life. He was suddenly in a recovery room with all kinds of strange things happening to him. He was in pain...

    Sleep Test

    I snore a lot and took the sleep test. I have sleep apnea. Couldn't stand the mask so didn't get one. Started using breathe right nose strips and it really helped my snoring. I think it helped the SA but probably not completely. I generally feel pretty well after a night of sleep.

    Last drive of the half

    I thought that Rhoad's sitting on the ball, at the end of the 1st half, was and indication that he was trying to win the game. We were getting badly beaten and worn down. We needed to rest and regroup for the 2nd half. We came out fired up and scored. Then the onside kick was saying, we are...

    Lawnmower Advice

    I used a JD 133 LT with 38 inch deck on 1.5 acres of variable slopes and quite a few trees. It usually took me 2 hours. This is a small tractor and the traction would be questionable on steep slopes with wet grass. It was a good mowing machine. Had it serviced every winter at JD dealer. Not...

    Pool Table

    I had Muellers (sp) on West Hickman Road in Des Moines move our table when we moved to a newer home. They charged a chunk, but they were very professional. They completely dismantled and then rebuilt it on site.---quite a process. I don't know if they sell used tables.
