    @Daniel said in What watch are you wearing?: My first Mickey Mouse watch was probably a better time keeper. That reminds me. I had a Mickey Mouse watch too, probably sometime in my elementary school years.

    John Webber (1751- 1793), British artist who traveled with Captain Cook on his 3rd journey, who was the European to paint Hawaii, its land, people and culture. Highly recommend. Around the world with James Cook – Swiss National Museum - Swiss history blog https://share.google/043JMMbwKbervkcfR

    Certainly. the question is if it pops how much does it drag the rest of the market down.

    Doubt this a surprise to the CIA and FBI and others. Do the robot vacuums still smear dog poop when they run into it? Happened to a friend.

    I wouldn't want to be employed in the tourism industry these days. Yikes.

    Interesting that, Joe. Walmart was the reason. I don't remember the details but it was basically they canceled an order and I remade it. I don't remember why it was canceled or why I didn't think I'd be charged twice.

    Bikes are gold in many parts of the world. A local bike organization here in Chicago collects, refurbishes, and ships bikes to various international organizations. https://workingbikes.org/

    Wonder if there will be a rule that says a stroller must float on water right side up with up to a 40 lb. payload.

    @wtg said in A new Grindr ad just dropped: He probably got up close and personal with a few too many toilet seats. And syringes filled with heroin. I'm not against "drugs." The pharmaceutical industry certainly isn't against "drugs." It's your body. I believe you can do what you want with it. But after witnessing certain drugs shatter what was once a beautiful mind like a pane of glass being thrown on concrete, I know it can go wrong and when it does go wrong, it goes very wrong. It's truly disturbing to witness.

    @bernard - when you say internet phone, I assumed it was something through Spectrum. Do you mean a phone number through something like Ooma? edit: I just re-read your OP. If you want to keep a VOIP version, kind of a "landline", instead of going with the NH Broadband option you could do something like Ooma. i haven't checked their monthly cost for basic service, but it used to be quite reasonable. Though given how little you use it, you probably could get rid of it altogether.

    Saw those in Missouri. Don't see them in Colorado or Arizona. A doctor in a nearby town noticed that the local barefoot kids that were treated for worms did not get the disease Starlings spread.
