Re: I offended a floral designer today by calling her a florist - Yesterday

QuoteN-OS X-tasy! Can’t please anybody these days. There’s a lot of that going around. BTW, I believe replacing the word “anybody” with “anyone” would be more correct.

Is it common in your area to have a lawyer handle the transaction, or an escrow company? I am not sure. The house is in a different state (WI) than mine.

Unusual real estate deal? - 2 days ago

My daughter rents a house from a rental agency. Recently she has been working with a realtor to find a house of her own. The agency that owns her current home has offered to sell it to her for a good price, stipulating: “as-is, no broker fee.” So it sounds to me that she would us her current realtor to handle the transaction, but the rental agency would handle their end on their own. The

It seems to me that there are some wise passages in the Bible and some that are not. It’s possible that those who believe the Bible has to be either one or the other may be making a false choice.

Re: A Quite Possibly Wonderful Summer - 5 days ago

I think the feeling of shared experience is something we will have to regain before the country can heal. If it takes the pandemic to achieve this, perhaps it will have been worth it. But it also means many people will suffer greatly before that effect will be achieved.

Alaska woman using outhouse attacked by bear, from below ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — An Alaska woman had the scare of a lifetime when using an outhouse in the backcountry and she was attacked by a bear, from below. “I got out there and sat down on the toilet and immediately something bit my butt right as I sat down,” Shannon Stevens told The Associated Press on Thursday. “I jump

Re: Stop dripping your faucets: Texas officials say the state’s water supply is at risk - 7 days ago

QuoteSpeedy Here along the frontier with Mexico we are without power or water now. We had power at my son’s apartment and water at our AirBnB. Now my son’s power is gone along with his water. We will be checking tomorrow to see if our power-free AirBnB still has water, which comes in really handy since all the outhouses have been removed. Sounds like you’re going to need a new vacation

Re: Staying on brand: Gov. Abbott blames power outages on Dems - 8 days ago

QuoteLemon Drop In a state he has run since 2015, and that is completely GOP led, he blames the power outages on.....the Green New Deal? Which has not been enacted and is only a concept at this time. Get the heat back on Guv. It's on you. Other lame excuse: it never gets cold in Texas. Yes it does. Last big snap was 2018. You were warned for a decade. Get busy. Did you mean 2011?

Re: Senator Trump? - 11 days ago

That's why no state would pick him to be their senator, even if he would stoop to it which he won't. I think this is an absurd suggestion. It seems unlikely that Trump would ever consent to be second banana to anyone. That said, if the last 4 years has taught us anything, it’s that state level Republicans embrace absurdity with open arms.

I have a DeWalt cordless screwdriver that is probably massoverkill for most people, but I bought it on a steep discount. It’s got a lot of torque.

There is no manual switch on the body of the s
