    Anyone knowledgeable about product safety issues? (roach spray)

    That's the catch- all I saw on the can itself was warnings to not spray it around heat or flame.. which is sensible, of course. It wasn't til I did a search online that I read warnings about the ingredients, and of course found all kinds of conflicting information.

    Anyone knowledgeable about product safety issues? (roach spray)

    I bought Ecologic ant&roach killer spray, believing it was all-natural and safe. However, some online info said one ingredient is combustible and another is flammable. Before I read about that, I sprayed it underneath and inside two baseboard heaters (they were off and cold at the time.) Now I'm...

    Social Security cards no longer proof of citizenship?

    I've been reading/hearing a lot about this lately, and it does not make sense. First, only citizens can obtain Social Security cards without special right-to-work designations on the cards. Second, it occurred to me proof of citizenship is the reason I obtained one in the first place. When...

    Newbie here..

    Thunderstorms are becoming more and more frequent- and almost always at night. What REALLY gets to me, though, are the warnings/watches/etc. for tornadoes.. "terrified" does not begin to say it.

    "THOSE WERE THE DAYS"

    Now that you mentioned it, I did hear Bimbo Bakeries took over Hostess.

    "THOSE WERE THE DAYS"

    A local grocery store sells those.. but I think the material is some kind of plastic. They also sell some old candies, like Chuckles.

    Days Gone By

    Oh I remember the A&P! My parents used to buy bags of coffee beans in the aisle, and the cashier would grind the beans at the checkout counter. Also Grand Union- which I've heard belongs to a different company now.

    "THOSE WERE THE DAYS"

    I've never seen any Drake products after leaving the East Coast. They occasionally show up on Amazon, though. I was also a big fan of Franco-American canned spaghetti.. not nearly as good after Campbell's took over.

    "THOSE WERE THE DAYS"

    Somehow I hadn't heard about that. Whatever company took over Hostess quite a few years ago didn't seem to have the same quality products as they were in the past. Maybe I'll try a couple of products again to see if they've improved.

    "THOSE WERE THE DAYS"

    What are Devil Dogs and other Drakes products like now that the company was sold to another company? I liked all of them when I was in NY, but not available anywhere else I've been. All I do know is Twinkies under new ownership are nothing like they used to be.

    Chocolate or Candy sweets

    Mostly chocolate. But then I consider chocolate to be candy, anyway.

    Newbie here..

    Hi everybody! I've been off forum and not much online time for awhile because of weather conditions and air conditioner that didn't work. I don't run any electronics during storms, and don't want to risk computer overheating.

    I have an 11-year-old kitty named Audrey. She's been with me since early last September.

    When I posted my first post I thought I clicked the option to be notified of replies, but never received any, so I didn't know anybody responded til I checked in. Thank you all for the welcomes!

    Hi Cody, I'm 67 yrs old. I guess I picked up words/terms from my kids- GenX & Millenial- they were experts with computers before I ever saw one.
