    @ShiroKuro No syncing required! Just use your old phone like you used to, and then send (airdrop) the video to yourself.

    @Daniel The Arena is kind of like the Tardis: Bigger on the inside! Actually it’s just because I stepped back far enough to photograph the whole thing. It’s big.

    I just now finally added a Pyrex measuring cup full of bleach into the stagnant water in my washer. I have my shop vac unpacked and need to read the instructions and learn how to use it I don't know how they got this washer in here or how they're going to get it out. For one thing the dryer is on the left and it's in the way. For another I just measured everything. By my calculations 28" of of the washer have to fit though spaces that are approximately 28". It doesn't make sense to me. But this is what they get paid for. I'm sure they'll figure it out. It might happen as early as Tuesday but they haven't called to set the appointment yet.

    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.

    I wouldn’t lose sleep if she lost after what they did with the fake Dan Sullivan. That’s easy to say with a 55 vote majority already. If she does win, which I think is very likely, I hope she pulls more votes than both Dan Sullivans combined so at least not to have a cloud of illegitimacy hanging over her term. I think she recently pulled ahead of the combined votes for the Dans Sullivan. May she stay there.

    @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

    @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.

    There's almost certainly even more unreleased material. Incidentally, apparently she was a great businesswoman. She said she had observed men all her life and learned business, and she never let herself be taken advantage of, and never compromised. She said Elvis wanted to sing I Will Always Love you but she refused him cold because she wouldn't give up the publishing rights. She said her songs were like her children, and in fact she protect them and herself. I didn't realize I was such a big fan time back. I was just a fan. But I came to be big fan. Loved her personality, her music, her beauty, her humanity, and rare for me there wasn't anything I didn't like about her. RIP
