It actually was Invented by Henry Ford, who was really cheap, and didn't want to waste anything. It's made from the sawdust for turning the spokes on the old cars. Of course, It's now made of waste wood scraps, that are burned, and pressed Into the shape they are, and In the case of KingsFORD, It goes through a dryer to reduce moisture to almost nothing. It Is also now stamped with a K to signify Kingsford.

I read or heard that about Ford somewhere. Probably the History Channel.

People like Ford and Edison are driven. Money is just a way to keep score.

SER. I did not know this info about the therms of coal
TOAD. In grade school we were taught about the manufacturing processes at Ford. Ford specified crate dimensions for parts so that the crate could used on the vehicle. ie. seat frame.

Legal, Think about your post for a minute, and consider how much thought was ONCE put into the product we were ONCE able to buy. It's just amazing. The tool's I used to sell were invented, and manufactured to last. I see tools, that are 80 years old still In working order. They look like they have been through an Atomic Bomb, but they STILL work. I honestly would much rather purchase an old tool on e-bay, rather than a new one. That (to me) really applies to almost all tools.

How did the double underlined blue hyperlinks appear without my knowledge. I will ask andromodo for that answer if nobody knows.

BLB, Look for Deal Vault in add and remove programs in the control panel and uninstall the program..

I suggest you use directly google chrome for your default browser in the future.
Running thru google chrome will reduce your exposure to such hacking programs and viruses.

There are also other programs that may be causing this hyperlinking on YOUR computer. Since I do not see these double lined hyperlinks on this blog, this is not a JTIrregulars issue.

Andromodo has spoken

But how do I eliminate the "Hackers" in my LIFE, as well as my computer? :P

Andromodo77, answer me this.
I really did not remember writing
any blogs at all today, and I know that the computer can't do this....
Is it the aliens....perhaps the tin foil exposure problems that many are faced with?

BLB, Your computer was taken over to to purge it of the unauthorized programs.
Dragon may be doing the walking for your fingers.
Amnesia is normal this time of year.
I see your new avatar is Space Barbie, care to enlighten us on the change?

FYI. The aliens are on the fly.

Barbie is afraid of the world ending and is even more afraid because her GET OUT OF HELL FREE expired yesterday. Space is a safe place.

Gravity is not a womans friend in earth, but it is in space.

Who is Dragon??? My old nick name was Dragon Lady, when I was younger and much crabbier.

Jed...don't feel bad... I didn't even get coal.... I got shop vac filters for Christmas
AND NADA...NULL...ZERO..ZILCH...
FOR VALENTINE'S DAY.

Dragon lady you say?
Hmmmmm.......
On second thought ....no comment

Toad, you are right about new tools, they are value engineered.
I look for old tools whenever I am at garage sales or flea markets.
