    Paint thinner for Floquil?

    I found a few old bottles of Floquil in the back of my cabinet. I don't want to buy a container of Diosol because I hardly use Floquil anymore. Is there any other type of thinner that will work?

    Have We Become Merely Stereotypes?

    I was watching Fox Cable News this past weekend. There was a brief segment about a middle age man who brought his Lionel Trains to work to show them to his co workers as part of a show-your-hobby day. When it was over the blonde, thirty-something female anchor added the following catty remark...
