In solidarity with y’all back East my fireplace is filling the house with smoke smell even though we haven’t had a fire for a week. ( yeah, big time May grey and June gloom this year. It was in the high 40’s at night when we last had a fire) I’ve shoveled out the ashes but the afternoon wind goes d...

Here in Northern New England the we have actually avoided the smoke so far, even though the Canadian fires (particularly those in Quebec and Nova Scotia) are fairly close as the choking crow flies. Reason? There’s been a low pressure area parked on top of us for a week. It’s been cloudy, cold, and r...

:bighug: :bighug: My doc has the instructions for the old tangled way on his website, i found out too late. :P How’s Tricksie? (Oh lord, my heart is full. Estiveo and W4!) Tricksy is now 5 years old, and quite the cynic. We went away for 3 nights and she’s still peeved about it. IMG_2506.jpeg IMG_2...

Wonder what the tax implications are for Tucker, big old chunk of home improvement at the cost of Fox suddenly landing in his lap...I mean it's no longer a Fox content hub....

Oh sure, first post after a long absence, and she coins a new phrase, "new tangled" to replace "newfangled". Applied to physical therapy, where you tangle your limbs around. I mean, I love it. I mean, I suspect auto-correct. I mean, I am so jealous of people who are better than ...

Yes, our member Whatever4 is a non-driver, who hasn't let it slow her down for any of her wide travels. She came to visit us in Raleigh in 2012, just before the first Myrtle Beach Meetup, when my son was just 11 years old, and she was a living example that you don't need to drive a car at all in th...

:snippity: We're really super proud of him, but he can't drive a car. I blame W4, to be honest. :liar: :lol: :biggrin: She's not around, is she? :hide: :snippity: Ol' Wifehorn: "You'd be surprised how many of his friends don't have driver's licenses." Me: "Tsk, tsk, all part of the u...

:bighug: I’m ensconced on the couch with BPV today, triggered by reaching weirdly for a tissue. I really hate it. Can’t move much without barfing, can’t read, can’t watch tv. There are waves to it, so I wait for subsidence and do things in the interim but I don’t want to fall so mostly staying put....

Y'know, our member Whatever4 used to live like across the street from Fenway, but she wasn't a baseball fan. And she didn't have a car, so it was lucky she didn't have to sell it to walk home. If she went to a game. Which she didn't. :? (Checking in because of Mar-a-lago raid) Nope, never went to a...

Now I can celebrate my Peedom.

After my first knee replacement and catheter experience, I got home and sat in my chair for a while. Stood up and *woosh,* gravity-fed gusher. Fully open pipes with nothing to stop it. That was eye-opening.

There’s some serious engineering work going on in those outfits.

“And now for *the* most passive aggressive and oddly specific prayer intentions you have ever heard in church” Awesome thread. https://twitter.com/calix517/status/1541075837239312390?s=21&t=9rWWyVrKgQOHiDf70csTpg And it’s real, the actual service. At about 40 minutes. https: //youtu.be/gdQrcysqU3g

To be fair, there’s never any construction in cities in summer. (/sarc)

Adam-12 got me through the months after Sandy Hook.

I’ll take a gas holiday if they also do a windfall profits tax.

Delta lost my luggage for a 7 day cruise. I am fighting with them now. They want receipts for everything that was in there---who keeps receipts once you know you won't be returning the clothes? or something that is a couple years old????????? That’s one of the perks of doing most of my clothes shop...

am I looking at knee replacement?

Possibly, or could be something torn or out of place. Get thee to an orthopedic doc.

This is why I prefer stupid appliances. I don't need them to be smart. Exactly. I'm not sure I've ever paid $700 for a completely new washer. And I don't need to watch tv on my fridge or voice command the faucet to fill up the coffee pot either. For the last 20 years, we’ve lived in a series of bra...
