    @steve-miller Yes, I'm taking your advice. There's no reason for me to be defeatist. I want in-home laundry hook-ups. I have buying a new washer and dryer in my budget. No problem. My budget for furniture and furnishings can be very flexible and there are no other large appliances I'll need to buy. This "amenity" is very important to me both practically and in terms of what I've always wanted. This is my first home buying experience and I wouldn't mind if were the last. I had a good talk with my attorney, my sister-in-law, and my cousin. I think I understand the mechanics of the process now to the extent of my ability to understand them. I'm kind of proud of myself for hammering on them again and again, and getting umall of us on the same page. My cousin gave me good news today. She said there's one more paper for my brother and me to sign and the settlement hearing date shouldn't be long after this is done. This paper could be sent to me FedEx practically any day now because I know it's to sign off on the account's work, the work is done, and the probate attorney's office has it.

    Gambling by another psuedo-intellectual name is still gambling. Regulate accordingly.

    Yes, Bernard, I agree. He lacks a viable plan to exit, can't control the fact the war is escalating, and has no viable plan to win, winning being something for which he lacks a definition. Yes, Ron, I agree. The machinations that led to him to start this illegal war cannot be undone. We have heard about the desire to wage an illegal war on Iran from both Netanyahu and American Neocons for the last forty years. It was always going to be a disaster.

    Yes, wonderful, and cool hobby. Your thread title had me chuckling 'latest obsession'. I have to stop myself, from things like buying one of every instrument just to try, or David Winter vintage miniature houses. I particularly like the seal lower left on first photo.

    Raging wind (by our standards) up to 21 mph with a high of 78 F. Then tonight the cold days begin going down to 45 F. Heavy showers 4:45- 7:30 p.m. It won't put a dint in our draught.

    If it's Netanyahu waiving a hand with six fingers it's fake.

    Proper retired I am these days. Become a daytime television watcher, well, quite selectively. These two relaxing half hour programmes are currently on Rewind TV: Old Country, presented by Jack Hargreaves, made in the mid 1980's, looking back on the life before WW2. Horses, carriages, fishing, rabbiting, dogs, tools, farming, pottery, smithing; back to an age when life was slow, and everyone DIY'd. Episodes also on youtube Discovering Gardens, presented by Michele Brown and Giles Brandreth, made in the late 1980's. Lovely English garden estates, with the owner-gardeners explaining and advising. An absolute gem. Seems to only be on tv.

    I think his he has dementia, and forms his decision making process on what he's told and what he wants to believe. I know he's the center of a cult of personality, but man, even the left doesn't get this screwed over after a Democratic presidential win.
