<p>Yup. That's my experience with WalMart/Sam's Club batteries as
well. Drove my truck to work one morning, came out after work and
nothing. I could hear the lock making slight clicking noises.
Fortunately it was a standard so I just roll started it and went
and got a new battery, NOT from WalMart or Sam's.</p>

<p>Bo: Glad to hear you are OK. I had a 95 Suburban that would
have a dead battery every 2 years. It did this on me 3 times
before I got another brand. It had a Wal Mart Neverstart
battery in it when I bought it and we were in a WM parking lot
and it just died. I went back in and got a battery and
installed it. 2 years later at a restaurant at 10pm it would
not start and I had rolled the window down when we got in and it
did not have enough power to raise the window. I had to walk a
1/2 mile through traffic at night to get a battery. Then called
a friend to help carry the battery back to the parking lot and
install. 2 years later it failed at home and I replaced it with
one from a local battery company. I have used this company
since and their batteries work fine and last about 6 years
usually if I don't let them run down. Stay safe. Good luck on
getting back home. <br>

<div dir="auto">And the icing on the cake was . I got in my car
to go get something to eat and the battery was deader than a
doorknob . 230 miles away from home and stuck with no tools
or anything so I called the local O Reilly's and the brought
me a new battery and put it in for NO extra charge . That's
why I use them as they are the same anywhere you go .</div>

To minimize the eye strain from your monitor, try
looking away every 15 - 20 minutes and stare at
something 20 - 25 feet away, like something in the
next room, for about 5 minutes. Even watching TV for
a minute or two helps due to the movement on the
screen. I used to get up a take a walk and BS with
the other engineers every now and then, also helped
with thinking about what I was working on. Another
thing to try is to sit farther away from the
monitor. You can also try adjusting the brightness
and contrast, darker is supposed to be better.<br>
<br>
Some of the disciplinary aides (secretaries) I used
to work with would use a screen filter to cut down
the glare from the monitor. Some people say that
wearing a good pair of polarized lenses helps.<br>
<br>
The reason you don’t have as big an issue with you
phone is because of the screen size and the lower
amount of emitted light.<br>

Thanks Mattias. Yes I just saw that message. <br>
It’s good to hear from all of you but looking at
this computer screen gives<br>
me terrible headaches so I don’t. I can do stuff on
my smart phone pretty well<br>
but the computer hurts.<br>

Hi! <br>
<br>
Good to hear from you Charlie.<br>
No earlier said that they were evacuating, so I
believe they're safe but worried over their property
and belongings.<br>

Hi gang.<br>
<br>
I hope everyone is well. I’m doing fine but
looking at computer screens bothers my eyes enough<br>
that it’s no fun to be online. I can drive and
function ok. There are just some things that bother<br>
me enough to discourage doing them. E-mail is one
of those.<br>
<br>
I’m worried about Bo Hinch. Has anyone heard from
him? Some of you probably know<br>
he lives very near Lake Charles (Sulphur), LA
which, under some forecast models is possibly ground<br>
zero for hurricane Laura. I think the elevation
of his whole town is about 16’ above sea level<br>
and it’s only a few miles inland from a bay that
empties into the gulf.<br>
I haven’t been able to get up with him. I hope he
and anyone else in this family who is in the<br>
path of this storm has their antique tractors put
away and is headed for high ground.<br>
<br>
If I don’t see your reply John Hall and Al Jones
know how to reach me.<br>
<br>
Charlie<br>
<br>
