@AndyD said: Wet room, so practical, where the whole bathroom floor is waterproofed for a shower A single story house about a block away from us was up for sale in the summer of 2024. The sellers had a child in a wheelchair and had created a wet room. We actually went to the open house and looked at the property but didn't actively pursue purchasing it. There was a bidding war, as seniors in our area are looking for a house just like it. Missed opportunity. Oh, well.

In London last weekend I got these in an Oxfam bookshop [image: 1775327464700-20260329_163100-resized.jpg] Today I trawled for charity shops in a nearby town and spent a colossal £5.50 for these (six are really nice, including on watercolour for MrsA, an interesting flower ID by month they flower, the one with Harold King is a Folio Society from 1973 on the Bayeux Tapestry with complete photography, Shining Sands will be my first read though) [image: 1775327804972-20260404_190444-resized.jpg]

That would be difficult but not impossible.

This was announced months ago. It's one of the unreal aspects of the US now.

The handwriting was on the wall when he let Musk stand behind the desk with his child running around with diarrhea of the mouth. Some predicted the office wouldn't recover. It didn't.

@bernard I'm assuming you mean the room. I love musicians. Thanks.

@CHAS said: Glad you got a ramp in what seems to be a short time. Claude recommended two manufacturers whose products seem to be of higher quality, Prairie Valley Industries (PVI) and EZ-Access. I ordered this portable ramp from Home Depot, one of the EZ-Access models. Figured if it didn't work out, it's an easy return to a store. I got two of the 4' portable suitcase style with a non-skid surface. Each one weights around 20 lbs, so super easy to set up/take down. https://www.homedepot.com/p/EZ-ACCESS-SUITCASE-3-ft-Singlefold-Portable-Aluminum-Wheelchair-Ramp-with-Applied-Surface-SUITCASE-SFAS03/206270445

Glad to hear he’s still around!

We have urban coyotes in our neighborhood. This one was in our back yard a couple weeks ago. It’s on its way out the side gate. [image: 1775163967793-img_2604.jpeg]

@amanda Too funny!

@CHAS said: Liked the Beatles. Listened to the Rolling Stones more. Was never a fan of McCartney's solo career music. It's amazing he's still at it. I'll give him that much.
