Peeve

Like I said I don’t get it.

They’re right, but not for the reasons they think.

@Axtremus ok so obviously my useless memory cannot be relied upon to tell me who has what piano! @mik and @adagiom I don't know about the expense of battery replacement, but after a certain point, I don't like to put money into old tech. Beside the non-existent battery life, my old phone was also showing all kinds of bugginess and problems, camera taking forever to open, websites crashing etc. I was very happy to replace it. But @mik if you do decide to get a new phone, be sure to look for a deal or promotion, don't pay full price.

Wait ... it's not because the people love the Democrats?

Although I did see a bigger wine list this week at Antoine's. Saw their wine cellar too, which is two walls of racks 10 feet tall that run nearly the length of a city block. Unreal.

@jon-nyc good to know I’m not alone!!

Storage of these kinds of things is a problem for me @jodi too when there's already so much to store.

@Mik I wish I could find decent, reasonable Rhônes here. Of course Manhattan stores are just a skip and a jump away, and there’s mail order but you need to know what you’re doing.

@AdagioM said: It’s a very Friday the 13th day, isn’t it? Ground stop, tanker vs riverboat… Some people think 13 is a lucky number. I don't.

Mine too! I wouldn't wear it. Lol.

Thanks. I needed to complain to someone other than the doctors or Bob. May be able to stop it December 9. The optic is inflamed. The docs don't like that.

@axtremus @realplayer Makes sense. Thanks.

@jon-nyc said: @Daniel said: It's no indictment of Islam, unless you would you'd like to throw all organized religions into the same category. Deal. (As I said before, whattaboutism rarely works with me, since the presumption that I hold the counter example sacred in any way is almost always false) Ditto

My education never involved logic.

@Bernard said: I remember when I learned how to spin wool. I was started on a drop spindle and would take my breaks in the conference room to practice. My yarn kept breaking and the spindle would fall to floor. This is why it’s called a DROP spindle, right? I have 3 of them, one Turkish (Jenkins), one top whorl (Kundert?), and one tiny Turkish spindle (also Jenkins) that I’ve never used. I had one more, but I gave it to a friend who wanted to learn to spin. I know you use a wheel, so cool. I don’t want a wheel because it would take away from knitting/design time. But I spun once on a Pocket Wheel, and I loved it.
