POPSReport: GM to Sell Chinese Cars in US in 2011 If this is true, I'm glad I know it because I will NOT be buying a car from GM. Sorry they are in such a mess...and the Administration has made things worse; but this surely will not help. I go out of my way to not buy anything 'made in China' & sadly, that wasn't always true. We have some very nice antiques from there...like 1870s.

POPSGathering storm The acquiring of and failure to discard seemingly useless possessions, causing significant clutter, distress, and impairment to basic living activities. That's the definition mental health researchers have basically agreed on for compulsive hoarding and cluttering. They also agree that hoarding behaviors cut across ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status, and although the elderly tend to hoard more than the young, they certainly don't have a monopoly. Hoarders can often be identified in suburban areas by the possessions spilling out of their homes, while in cities like San Francisco, they are often concentrated in smaller, concealed dwellings. According to a just-released citywide task force report on hoarding, there are an estimated 12,000 to 25,000 hoarders living in San Francisco.

POPSA Horse, A Hearse, And A Sense Of Duty "Melgosa inadvertently entered the funeral business in 1991, when her father died two months after being diagnosed with cancer. She and her siblings wanted to celebrate his life with something special and hit upon the idea of using a horse-drawn hearse to carry his body to the cemetery. But they couldn't find one. After her father's funeral, Melgosa and one of her brothers tracked down an $8,400 wooden funeral coach, made in 1867, at an antiques auction in Pennsylvania. They bought a draft horse and a trailer to haul the horse and carriage and decided to go into business. But there was scant interest, and Melgosa's brother quickly gave up. Melgosa kept going. She offers free funerals for children and law enforcement officers, as well as for members of the military. She pays her bills by running a local Verizon shop and selling antiques online."

POPSI now know why Pot is illegal How on earth would they be able to generate profit, if we weren't wearing holes in our Chinese factory made clothing every two weeks?And, of course, this is a plant that anyone could grow, it is a WEED. If it was used as fuel source (as I was told it would be a excellent use for...), how would they ever profiteer once the average person figured out how to make hemp oil, or each local community had a grower who would supply the fuel. Where would the oil billionaires be? It is absolutely criminal that this plant is illegal. How dare they take away such a valuable resource that could provide such benefit for people & the earth, at a low cost?

POPSWar is absurd, says Russian pilot shot down over Georgia Surely he was tortured or waterboarded and forced to say this. And these guys seem kinda' old and I read that the planes were also. Maybe Russia is using up it's antiques and saving their prime pilots and weaponry for some other more serious take-overs.

POPSNipping Presses I deal in antiques and collectibles. I am restoring a nipping press now like the in the photo on the bottom of the page. Some folks have things hanging that could turn into cash. Condition is everything. Doing this is a great deal of enjoyment as well as supplementing my income. I learn something every day and it acts as my therapy with its application of my time as I trick myself into believing I am doing something useful. I don't know if anybody is interested in this type of application of time. I just thought I would throw it out there for people to read.
