Great birdhouse, Dan! I just promised to make one for a friend, and yours is one of the nicest samples I've seen. I love the way that it looks like an historic post-and-beam house. Did you use copper nails on the faces, or something else?
I've not had tinnitus but I sure can hear (and otherwise feel/sense in my head) my pulse when my blood pressure is high. Have you checked that lately? Just a thought...
Wow, if either of my parents expressed those kinds of interests, I'd have skipped school every day! And how could you not be left with natural curiosity and a solid work ethic! How lucky you are!
Yes, I'm sorry. I knew that I should have somehow set forth my comments in a new thread but couldn't seem to figure out the best way to do that. I certainly won't continue the discussion here. Sorry for the derailment, Evo.
I had a hard time following the video's comparison (to me, it appeared to treat liberals fairly, but in a really weird way), so I visited the source of the video: New Disclosures. I watched a couple of their other videos, and found one to be especially disturbing: Critical Race Theory.
That's...
Wow, those are huge loads to carry!
I completely understand your affinity to the PNW; I feel the same way about New England, while many people I've known seemed to have no problem uprooting.
Meanwhile, I feel for you regarding neighbors and easements, as I have fought those wars twice, in two...
Hi Evo,
I just noticed this thread, so will add my two cents.
No matter what has happened so far, or what happens next, take comfort in knowing that, by leaving the "toxic" house, you are protecting your family the best way possible. Most people are completely unaware of the dangers of mold...
WORDS MATTER
Despite my unwavering respect and gratitude for the January 6th Committee, I found its final hearing to be disappointing—mostly because of the sloppy editing of what should have been one concerted message. Meaning, that every word should have sounded like it was written by one...
Good Morning, @climbingmonkey24, et al,
Just thinking about you as the holidays roll in, because I know how easy it is to think that everyone else is having a better time than you and I are--or should be. It's likely not true.
I've always thought that "socially-mandated" holidays like these...
Good Morning,
My niece used to tell me that she enjoyed my "drunk-dialing" her when I was loaded, but that's at least in part because I'm a "happy drunk," and even happier when I'm stoned. However, I also sometimes think that only I can see the world clearly at those moments and--as my wife...
So, ClimbingMonkey, what are you, like five years old--talking about cliques like they really affect your life! Assuming the rest of us are in the clique and are all gloriously happy? Telling us to fuck off whenever you feel like it? Expecting us to save you from yourself when you have not made...
I have had Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS) for years (sensitive to petrochemicals mostly: fragrances especially). I had many workplace confrontations and eventually won some accommodations along the way. MCS is recognized by the Americans With Disabilities Act but it's still difficult to...
This is the most info I could find (Wikipedia):
"The timing of announcements has to balance aspects of first-mover advantage,[8] name recognition,[9] political momentum, and campaign fundraising for early or late entrants. Frontrunners generally have more reason to delay announcing.[10]...
Please, can we all just take a breath and start this conversation anew. I know that free, creative, expressive writing is something we practice in order to explore and develop our inner thoughts, but reading the free-writing of others is not always enjoyable or beneficial, in my opinion...
Had the Senate Republicans pronounced him guilty in his SECOND impeachment, he would have been prevented from running again. Now we all suffer--including the Reps.
Meanwhile, if someone can run again after undisputedly fomenting a coup, I'm not sure that we have a working justice system!
