More time for sleep, reading, sex, making music, thought.

Imagine the uproar when those populations start migrating to livable climes. This nation, and big pieces of continental Europe, are already up in arms about invasions by people from unlivable...

Bought a CD this week, from England.

Has no effect on the Supremes. They threw it back to the states.

Setting aside that forcing women to spend 18 years of their lives in a job they may not want should not be a decision of any...

That's Marilee. There's only one NY 50 in existence. It is possibly the most beautiful boat ever built.

I heard recently she was living in Muscongus Bay.

I don't think we can know until either Trump's big mouth blabs or the Justice Department files a suit.

Yes. That's how the family prefers it to be pronounced.

In German it means The Lord's Court. Herr = God. Hoff = Court as in all the people in a king's retinue.

Merrick.

That's an old vid.

Only the voice hasn't changed.

The thing about having no children is that, although it is morally superior, it does not preclude having children. One need not give birth to have children, in fact the person who declines to give...

One of the late 19th C homestead sites near the Queets river was still intact, more or less, when I visited in 1994.

The shakes were more than a foot long.

So neat seeing contributions from our European members on this thread. I'm looking forward to getting to know these new folks better.

They use plenty in Maine and lots of New Hampshire too. I can't imagine you can't buy them from Lowe's and Home Despot, if not from just about any local lumber yard.

Reasonably priced? That's...

Only child growing up on city street. Went to suburban school because my city did not provide a good enough school for my mother's strong opinion. So I ddin't build friendships with the few other...

Well, we worked it out. They ran the cable up the outside of the house to the window on the stair landing, so the modem is in the same place the DSL one was, where I can keep an eye on it and make...

So the second attempt this morning. The guy shows up, I show him where he could run the cable in the house, he tells me that simply don't do anything more than push the cable through the exterior...

I understood they were already doing that.

I hoped we could discuss the core question here. If Trump and Jones actually can't tell the difference between reality and what they happen to have pop into their heads at the moment they open their...

I'm not convinced these people know they're lying. There is something wrong in their brains such that they believe in the moment they say something that that something is true.

The committee has...

WHAT THE JUDGE SAID TO ALEX JONES TODAY IN THE SANDY HOOK TRIAL:


"Mr. Jones, you may not say to this jury that you complied with discovery. That is not true. You may not say it again. You may...

There is a circular firing squad element to it. Around here construction and service are hard pressed to find workers. Mostly it's an issue of lack of housing. The problem is this: the more...

It it hadn't been a constitutional amendment this would never have happened. Most states won't be so lucky.

Schedule F in action. I wonder why it took so long for him to figure out how to start the process. He had four years, after all, and seems to only have started setting it up in the last months...

Not available on my side of Buzzards Bay. They use the same towers as T-Mobile and I'm on the waiting list for T-Mobile. My wi-fi hotspot from T-mobile is mostly faster than Verizon DSL, which is...

There is no non-commercial 5G on Cape Cod.

Besides, for many years I listened to BBC Radio 3 all day. While it's true I no longer do, I do listen to a lot of live music broadcasts from Radio3 and...

Old news. They claimed, both of them, that they had an open marriage.

Called the private cell line my link to Comcast gave me when I signed up (June 2). She confirmed that the installer should have done the job inside, asked what the issue seemed to be. I told her...

Read the thread. Only DSL is available here through the landline.

I'm talking about that box.

We know. The whole town knows. That's why it's trying to get a public cable service going. Making good progress on it too - got a plan, got lots of funding, had many public meetings, already...

No other option.

So it seems some of you think the norm is to bring the cable into the house and install the box somewhere inside?

Perhaps from there it's my problem?

I doubt there's any signal to the house yet, as thus far the final step before authorizing the account was what the guy was supposed to be doing today. It's not a signal problem, it's a mechanical...

Thank you. I think you're right about that.

He wouldn't attach the box to the outside wall where the cable came up out of the ground. I asked.

I wasn't figuring on a $200 or more bill to run...

No. The power outlet is right where I was intending to place the modem. I understand that it needs power, needs to be plugged in. But it needs to be plugged in to two things - the electric power and...

The Comcast cable person came today to attach the cable to the house and set up the modem.

He went away without doing that and telling me I had to hire an electrician.

I don't understand. So...

The biggest problem with chicken liver is that the cats want it too, in fact they don't wan to leave any for me.

Oh yes. Cannot abide runny eggs. Yuck.

of course I love creamed eggs on good toasted sourdough bread.

chicken livers are delectable

oysters are fab.

I have no use for squid

almost no use for any hot peppers.
