    Fu*%face Von Clownstick

    Brilliant! Thank you! I'm so tired of being called a Hater for condemning despicable concepts and actions. You know, all that stuff that your teachers, parents, pastors, and historians told you were hateful by nature: Nazism, racism, misogyny, rape, lying, stealing, cheating, and so on...

    T-shirt blanket/quilt

    Thanks, So far, I like this style because it's simple and the legs are tapered on the outside, which seems to give it a lighter feel. That said, I'm sure that I'll end up combining aspects from various examples.

    T-shirt blanket/quilt

    Yup, no electronics here either. I bought a Singer 4452 "Heavy Duty" manual-control machine. Only $190 delivered. Fingers crossed . . .

    T-shirt blanket/quilt

    Great timing on this thread: I just bought a sewing machine, with plans to make cushions for a wood-framed Mission-styled couch. I sort of grew up sewing as my mother was a seamstress in a "sweatshop." I'm pretty sure I was sewing by the age of five (and into my twenties) but have not done so...

    Fascism, American-Style

    Yup, you win again. Nine years of hateful banter is enough. I refer all readers to my original post, in which I said my piece. But, OK, one more point: When did presidential elections result in the winners running around saying shit like, "We won, and we're gonna fuck the other side up now"...

    Fascism, American-Style

    All I Know: I hope that the new Trump electorate accepts that they (as individuals) willfully and openly conspired to elect a dangerous candidate (and his coterie) who promised to destroy our country and our partnerships abroad. The laws that could have disqualified this convicted/dog-whistling...

    Arts and Crafts

    New Back Porch Built Over Granite Slab We've had really dangerous back-door steps since we moved in in 2005. While we once thought the granite blocks were quaint, they were becoming a real risk as we age. So I decided to do something about it. (Please see PDF attachment.)

    Anyone else wear some sort of breathing protection?

    Yeah, saints preserve us when the next pandemic comes. Folks will either be too ignorant to wear masks, or hesitant to wear one because they are surrounded by that ignorance. They're your lungs: To hell with what others think! My wife just got over COVID so we've been wearing masks in crowded...

    Beech Leaf Disease

    Follow-up on untreated Beech-wood's rot resistance when exposed to weather: It has none. The untreated wood developed black mold very quickly. I had to paint the bench to save it.

    Climbers for Christ

    I did not know that (if it's true), but it does not change my opinion of the sermon's value. (In any case, I could only wish that more politicians spoke like this.) I contend that followers of every religion would benefit from his words. Conversely, if your religion does not promote such...

    Climbers for Christ

    Yeah, me too (atheist), but he almost had me signing up. Because of recent history, I kept waiting for him to segue into some kind of biased harangue--but he never did. He sounds like my parents, whose informal religion I always considered to be Humanism. I'm not sure why it's so hard for folks...

    Climbers for Christ

    James Talarico Delivers Sermon Against Christian Nationalism Not sure if this was already posted; sorry if it was. Either way, I think it's worth a listen:

    Fu*%face Von Clownstick

    I don't think your fears are unfounded. My two most rump-leaning neighbors go way out of their way to tell everyone how they just got guns (for "protection"). Meanwhile, the Bosnian War, and others, reveal that neighbors kill neighbors with little remorse. I watched a documentary where a...

    All your evil lies

    No, I think you're right. Just look how they pieced together clips from the Boston Bombings.

    Beech Leaf Disease

    Thanks! The veining and curling are very evident on the first set of leaves and remain so on many of the trees. This is easier to see in my post from 2022: https://www.treebuzz.com/forum/threads/beech-leaf-disease.33333/post-714132 The second set of leaves, as I described, are mutated in...

    Well, now you're just trying to freak me out!

    Beech Leaf Disease

    This is just a subjective report (the science is beyond me) from SE Massachusetts on my hundred or so beech trees (the primary species). This assessment covers my property only as the surrounding areas do not include large beech populations. So, strangely, that might mean my yard, while a small...

    Novel Felling Cuts?

    Very cool! Sounds logical. With those stresses, I suppose bar pinches would be more prevalent when horizontal??? Lots of wedges?

    Novel Felling Cuts?

    Sorry about that. I couldn't think of proper terminology to search the Archive before posting this. I'm OK with deleting the post but cannot seem to do so. Thanks!
