@AndyD said: I've had a non brand Makita drill battery literally explode. Yikes!! We had a Bluetooth speaker battery suddenly swell but it didn’t burst. It looked like a failed explosion.

We had an attached, but unheated garage that woudn't ever freeze - perfect auxillary fridge over the winter!

Iceland poppies seed themselves here, in yellow and orange, before you knowing they're popping up everywhere in the nicest way

@RealPlayer said: REgifting. So, that word does not bug me.... well, as long as it's used as a gerund If someone says "Remember that book that Mark gifted me? I regifted it to Sue" then all bets are off.

You can't grieve someone you never loved in the first place.

@kluurs said: 4.79 - not sure who I displeased. You never know when you close a door a little too hard. Rachel always does that as a matter of habit. I’ll bet her rating is relatively bad.

@Mik BTW don't get me wrong, I'm very happy for you that yours was funded. Any studies getting funded in this admin should be celebrated. But there is (was) a vetting process in place. Trump just ignored it, the way he ignores everything and just does what he wants. So I wouldn't call that winnowing.

Newport, RI Chateau-sur-Mer Link to video I've noticed many of these Gilded Age mansions in Newport had dark interiors. I like that. I think it's beautiful and elegant. Darkness is a rare commodity when sunlight is so relentless imho.

Speaking of art, I received some more of my late mother's photographs today. So this was the 4th USPS box of 4 with photographs my cousin found after my father passed. It was joyous! My mother passed in 2014 and so much went missing. But today there was something I wanted a lot. It's a black and white photograph of my mother and me by my first Dr who was a photographer. I had this photograph framed for my mother a long time ago. I would have been maybe 4 and she would have been about 23. Man I need to learn to post pictures.

What could possibly go wrong?

Well, that's ironic. I was taught to use vinegar and newspapers, iirc. I think the paper was meant to be abrasive. I still use vinegar. I use it with paper towels.

@Bernard that sounds like a great approach!!

Great!

"AI" and the song is still something she might well have done. Let this be a lesson to us all: "Based on a search of Madonna's official discography and media channels, there is no evidence that "What Did You Expect?" is an official song released by her. It is highly likely that this video is an unofficial upload, fan-made creation, or a composition generated by artificial intelligence, rather than an authorized track from her music catalog." AI isn't sure? That's a new one. Yeah, it's AI. My error.
