    @Piano-Dad Yes, I know how to reach you. We do have some folks who signed up and who have either never posted or haven't posted in a long time. I don't want to pester them with updates unless they want to be pestered. You can choose the option to hide your email address from casual observers, but people with superpowers can see that info. Mostly I just wanted to know who wants to be notified if we have a major outage. Additionally, a few folks who signed up early might not have had to provide an email address to create a user ID because registration was open and didn't require authorization by an admin or mod. Eventually we locked the door and deleted all the spammers who had signed up while this was the backup site. I just wanted people to check their profile and see if they have an email addy where they can be reached.

    Easily the most beautiful city in North America, imho. And always very interesting to see the houses Gilded Age families had built for themselves. Thanks!

    I want my mansion on 15 acres and anything not over 5,000 is something I can't imagine not thinking was blissful. But, if I had to buy a mansion on a street with mansions, I would want to be on the same street. Road construction can really mess up residential neighborhoods of any size. I've seen it more times than I can count. The government can put a street through your kitchen and there's nothing you can do about it. This was a large factor in tearing cities apart back in the day (e.g. Detroit) but I've seen it in rural areas too in the last thirty years in places where few would have imagined it, accepting the people planning the development and playing the long game. This house has many features I like but even if I liked its location, I'd have to win the lottery to buy it.

    The Copilot Pinot Noir is also a very nice table wine at the price.

    There was another recipe that uses a combo of coconut milk and regular milk. And the recipe is scaled down for an 8x8 pan, which might be nice. I might try it sometime: https://zhangcatherine.com/pumpkin-butter-mochi/ It also suggests using an oiled knife to cut the mochi.

    Carpet definitely for bedrooms and sitting room comfort. I reckon when they scrapped the window tax they added the large arch and double windows at the front. The rear is lovely. It is in a convenient area for Newcastle International Airport, Metro Shopping Centre, A1 motorway. Everything but sea access.

    A small toad has taken residence in the back yard and is driving the dog insane. He’s too quick to get a picture of. Birds are mostly Robins and red-wing blackbirds -very nice. Unfortunately they appear to be feeding at someone’s bird feeder and have distributed Amaranth all over the property. Tough stuff - gonna take a while to get rid of it.
