    I've watched and listened to this entire 53 minute concert 4 times over the past few months. Such talent, so entertaining. If you don't agree I'll refund every minute that you spend watching.

    I went to Snopes, prepared to post a link showing that the Singer article was a modern fabrication. Nope! Singer actually published that trash. Some people actually WERE that backward in 1949! Advice from a 1949 Singer Sewing Manual I was listening to some great music on my way to the grocery...

    The schools around here are closed tomorrow. I didn't get a chance to take a pitcher before it got dark but I'll try to get one of the snow tomorrow morning. It's purdy.

    When you open a can of worms, they only way to put them back is to use a larger can.

    Wow, the "useful" and "creative" feedback options are very creative and useful! I just noticed them a few minutes ago, so please don't tell me they've been there all along, unless of course it's true. :thumb:

    After a Google search, I find I am not the only person to find the Hacksaw Ridge depiction of the rope ladder to be unrealistic. I don't want to infect anyone with my incredulity, because the movie is really good. That said, here is a page where someone posted a photo of the movie set cliff...

    I don't use syringes any more for measuring, due to how much I love my plastic 10 ml graduated cylinder. OK, there has to be something wrong with this mod for such a discount to be offered, but since I had previously considered buying it at full price, since I think it's pretty cool, I bit on...

    Did the rope ladder up the cliff not bother you? It bothered me. I mean, how'd they get it up there? How'd they get it anchored at the top of the cliff? How'd they keep the .... from cutting it down? That's the aspect that kept me from giving a total endorsement.

    Orange County, 2002, Colin Hanks, Schuyler Fisk, warm comedy. Entertaining, kind of a feelgood story. I can't remember if I gave my opinion already on this one, so if I did, here it is again: La La Land, 2016, Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling, musical. Excellent, almost superb.

    As usual, the latest episode of This Is Us completely blew me away. I continually wonder if the writers have painted themselves into a corner, but they keep finding excellent new places to go. Hacksaw Ridge, 2016, Andrew Garfield, directed by Mel Gibson, historical WWII drama. Very good, worth...

    While the wild-eyed post-midnight mad chef was steaming brussel sprouts, he found that he had only eaten 9 of the 10 Queen Anne's chocolate covered cherries that he bought before Xmas. It was almost orgasmic. I sprinkled the sprouts with minced garlic, then drizzled a tablespoon of blue agave...

    The Saints won the NFC South. The Panthers, with the same 11-5 record, were second in the NFC South due to having lost twice to the Saints during the regular season. The Super Bowl will be played in Minnesota. If the Eagles and Vikings both win this weekend, the Vikings will meet the Eagles in...

    Got somewhere around 4 inches of snow here on Wednesday night. I haven't been out on the roads to see how they are but I'd be surprised if the roads aren't mostly clear. It hasn't been above freezing even for a moment since the snow, but a lot of it has evaporated. Mail delivery was not...

    Had lunch at Hardees, then dropped off a carload of recyclables at the convenience center. On my way to Aldi, I decided to go to CVS for a flu shot in my left arm and a pneumonia shot in my right arm. Filled up the car with gas at Sheetz, went grocery shopping at Aldi, then went grocery shopping...

    @Iffy! Hope you're enjoying that balmy weather on Florida's Gulf Coast.... yeah, I know that Einstein's theory says it's mighty cold compared to where the temps usually are, but it's 30+ degrees warmer where you are than it is here in eastern NC. I'm in the narrow band of NC that's supposed to...

    Two days ago I declared independence from smoking, because it had been 1776 days since I'd smoked. :lol::thumb::toast::vapor:

    Or maybe that 1/1 on my weather app means that Red Oak NC is location number 1 of the 1 locations that I've programmed into it.

    I think my weather app is frozen. It says today is 1/1, and it says that it "feels" like 40 when the actual temperature is 35. Look at the temps for the next 4 days.... brrr, brrrier, brrrriest, brrr.

    My friend who lives on the beach in NJ took this picture today. He said that he and his wife went to see if anyone was fishing today, and when they didn't spot anyone, he said they were wusses. Brrr..

    I've never seen such measuring cups... that's pretty inaccurate. In many instances the difference is too small to matter. Side note: you said you originally posted your message over in the Lounge. Is this not the Lounge?
