Link to video Did Charles have a connection to Epstein? It seems to be true. Discontent with Charles is growing.

@AndyD said in Fab house for sale near me (UK): So you you may have heard the gleeful cries of hallelujah even as far away as the colonies when the last tack went in our carpets upstairs. Here is probably the most boring video ever, mostly starring a beige carpet Link to video And a few photos the landing was most difficult for floorboard repair, cutting both underlay and carpet for L shape, 5 doorways and for stairs [image: 1770219168459-20251211_112109-resized.jpg] 3rd bedroom [image: 1770219195211-20251211_112010-resized.jpg] And finally two of our 1st bedroom finished, the last done as we had to move all our stuff so delayed it until the New Year.

Nice. I liked ice skating. My body wouldn't tolerate it now.

It looks very comfortable. My grandparents' house had wall to wall carpet except the bathrooms and a screened in (and second) Florida room (the first was on the front of the house and was an enclosed office). The screen room had the washer and dryer and led into the fenced backyard. You weren't allowed to wear shoes. The carpet was vacuumed once a day. I wouldn't mind it!

And will they follow it? We shall see…

I'm guessing that the Virginia Supreme Court will soon allow us to vote on an initiative to redistrict Virginia for 2026, overturning a rural district court's injunction.

I want to move to Switzerland most. Otherwise, I want to live in aandy

Our current "together" watch is Gilmore Girls. I never watched it before!

@Mik said in Let's talk miso: Shiroley you jest.

With you Steve. We humans are weird in the things we're attracted to. I think the days started better watching Captain Kangaroo than listening to the news. There's some comfort in that. Best to get out of our houses - and take a walk in the forest - or look at the stars from time-to-time for a counterpoint to the madness that exists outside. Find a quiet place to retreat to from time-to-time.

@Bernard said in NIPSCO: Capitalism at it's finest. :rolleyes: Electricity should be a public utility like it used to be before privatization. My sister-in-law got hit with an astronomical increase in her electricity bill making it $800 and a $600 propane bill to heat here house within the same few days. The electricity bill made no sense but had to be paid and she and her son had to endure a night of sub-zero temmperatures without propane to heat their house. She had to spend $600 on tires at the same time. She was not in a good mood. I didn't ask but I'm assuming she had electric space heaters so their lives were not in danger or not in too much danger. This is happening all over the US. This never happened when I was growing up.

Heh. That guy should have been locked up in jail a long time ago. I’ll never understand why he isn’t I have no interest in anything he has to say.

I have a warm spot in my heart for Minnesota as I was born there many years ago. Didn’t live there long, but we used to go back and visit relatives from time to time and I remember them as being good solid Midwestern people. I’m very glad to see them standing up for their values.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said he was "not in favor" of federalizing elections a day after President Donald Trump said on a podcast that Republicans "ought to nationalize the voting.” “That’s a constitutional issue,” Thune told a reporter who asked him about Trump's remarks. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/senate-gop-leader-john-thune-says-disagrees-trump-congress-nationalize-rcna257260 Well, unlike the orange guy, at least he knows it's a constitutional issue. And he actually said so out loud. I guess that's something. edit: Mike Johnson, OTOH, is still a complete idiot.
