I love Ace Hardware
I may have mentioned it before, and I'm sure I'm not telling many of you something you don't already know. I love Ace Hardware. I have NEVER gone to that store without getting what I needed. Today was the closest I've come-actually had to drive to the next store 5 minutes up the road as they had a bigger selection of what I was looking for. They somehow manage to pack a store a tenth of the size of Home Depot and Lowes with twice the selection. It's like stepping back in time too. They're like a mom and pop store with ACTUAL customer service. Polite and knowledgeable. Even the high school kids that work there know what they're talking about. If you don't already know, next time you're fixing something and can't find what you need elsewhere give Ace a try.
And yes I understand Home Depot and Lowes are more geared towards contractors and stock a large VOLUME of stuff. But people often seem to default to going there any time they need anything hardware related. And I'm not bad mouthing either store but I've lost track of how many times I've walked out without getting what I needed.

I have a Ace Hardware 5 minutes from me and it's also my "go to" store. An awesome selection of stainless metric hardware too. Love that place. They are having a sale this weekend, where you can get 20% off of anything you can fit in one of thier paper bags.

And for the really hard to find stuff call Hans and Mimi, they are honest and cheap and ship anywhere; although they are decidedly not internet interested.

I have some cuts on my fingers and was wondering if you could squeeze some lemon juice on them.
