    Am I doing it wrong?

    My Like buttons will only let me do thumbs up, can't get the other options. Edit: Never mind, it's working now. I must have been doing it wrong.

    I'm almost afraid to say it ...

    I'm back!! We got power on Thursday. Internet came back on this morning, after I checked the tech guy's work from yesterday. When he left we had phone but no internet. I think it was a loose connection, but seems to be working now. I'm hoping it stays on but I guess we'll find out. I...

    Hi Everyone!

    Just stopping in because I had to haul the computer to an internet source to make some online payments and I really miss all of you. I appreciate the concern over my absence. I'm hoping it wont be toooo much longer, but we'll see.

    Speakers question ...

    ... because I know nothing about speakers and amps and stuff, but I'm willing to learn. My friend down the road has electronic equipment from his roommate, a sound engineer and local radio personality, who passed a few years ago. There is enough to do professional grade recordings and...

    Grill/Smoker?

    We are considering a grill/smoker but know nothing about what's currently available. I have discarded the idea of pellet grills since I don't really want to have to plug anything in. I have read reviews about poorly made units where when smoking the smoke pours out of badly fitted doors and...

    My cell phone burns my butt.

    Literally. I carry it around in my back pocket and if I've had it there for a few hours my butt starts to hurt, but it stops after I take the phone out of my pocket. My sister has it worse as touch screens make her fingers burn. I've only had that happen a cople of times. I don't think these...

    I finally grew food!

    Yes, I'm excited about that. (It's the little things in life, right?) Technically I grew corn, but the raccoons got it. Finally, though, after about six years of largely gardening fails I managed to get something on the table. Red noodle beans. Very easy, plant the seeds and walk away...

    I'm in a time lag

    I placed an order from Amazon today, supposed to arrive Wednesday. I just looked at the status and it shows "shipped". Well that was fast. So I looked at the tracking info, "carrier picked up package" on "Monday August 7". It's still Sunday at my house.

    Star Wars fans

    I've been watching a few movies on Prime. A couple of days ago I watched Meet Joe Black, and afterwards googled up some additional info on it. The Wiki page gave the box office gross, but said that since it was one of the few movies chosen to show the trailer to Star Wars Phantom Menace, I...

    Mushroom coffee?

    I had never heard of it until a few minutes ago when an ad popped up on the Kindle. After my initial recoil I Googled it and it seems to be real, and is claimimg all kinds of health benefits. I have zero interest in tasting it but wondering ... Has it been around long? Anyone here brave...

    This thread is for when a song gets stuck in your head. Let us know what it is and maybe it can get stuck in our heads, too. 😉 Here's my current one, over and over since Thursday, just one verse. A gathering of angels Appeared above my head They sang to me this song of hope And this is what...

    NLD

    That's right - New Lumberjack Day! I'm the first to admit that it takes my projects a while to get off the ground. Well, that and to be honest, all the concerns expressed by my friends here when I said I wanted a chainsaw made me pretty hesitant about operating something so dangerous without...

    Starting early

    We are already in triple digits for our "real feel" temperatures, 102 today. The next six months could get unpleasant.

    I saw a snake and it saw me

    No doubt it's time to mow the grass. I almost stepped on it, probably 3 to 3 1/2 feet long. It ran a few feet and then turned around, raised up, and watched me. And kept watching me. I got a couple of pics with the phone and came in to ID it. Looks like it's a nonpoisonous (Thank...

    Torque?

    The Dream Cars thread discussions were over my head enough to send me searching for an understanding of torque. I'm still kinda confused. Can you see all those question marks over my head???? Per my reading, torque is power that gets you going from a standstill and horsepower is power to keep...

    Bass cases

    Please forgive me for asking a rather uninformed question, but is there a reason why bass cases are rectangular and not instrument shaped like other cases?

    Bonnie Tyler - "Loving You's a Dirty Job"

    Bonnie Tyler - "Loving You's a Dirty Job" The vodeo is nice, and I find the three backup singers funny!

    Do you dunk?

    I am not a dunker. No cookies in milk, no donuts in coffee, no biscuits in gravy (although technically I suppose that one is more sopping than dunking). I will dip crackers in hot soup, but the crackers stay crisp. I think it's the sogginess I object to. That and pieces of stuff floating...
