Btw, Love the picture. I might print it, enlarge it, and put it in a Wal-Mart type frame.

@andyd Does living in a country with all that history and its architecture, including interiors, gardens, and cultural artifacts ever "get" to you? I mean encountering it must be constant so does it ever feel like "a lot" or is it just normal to you? I went on a standard 14 day student tour to London and its surrounding attractions. I remember the Tower and Crown Jewels. I can see the crown jewels in my mind's eye any time I want by letting myself have memories that I can "re-play" at will. But that's because I like jewels. I like architecture too (clearly) but everything was ancient and at 14 it almost completely overwhelmed me. They took us on a bus tour to Oxford University. All I could see were these beautiful, ancient buildings. It kind of phased me to the point that after it was over I had to remind myself we had just visited a school.

I saw that! Grotriman was talking about having a party in July but that never materialized. Maybe I can nudge him or threaten to hold one myself… I’d love to see him again. It’s been ages.

I see so many women with blue, pink, and purple hair, and so many men and women with tattoos and piercings here now. You were told in no uncertain terms nobody would hire you if you got tattoos and piercings when I was graduating from HS. People didn't mention women putting blue, pink, and purple stripes in their hair. I don't think they could imagine it. You can get a city, county, state, or federal job with all of that and nobody thinks twice now. I never wanted a tattoo or a piercing. Men wore limited jewelry then. Sometimes a chain. Rarely a bracelet. A wedding band (although tradesmen let them at home to save themselves from losing a finger in a saw). And a watch. Sorry for the thread tangent. Back to the road trip!

I'm still see everything in a line on top of line list form. Is there a setting I can change? Is it my phone? Is it the network? Again, please help. I call roll with it but it's hard on my eyes. Thanks.

Very nice!

@Rontuner Too pricey considering results are not guaranteed.

Link to video I guess this Maytag doesn't check out after all. Btw the Amana in this video was my exact washer that broke new to me but only 2 yr old. It was the worst washer I've used in my life and I'm not exaggerating. It didn't wash, then rinse, then spin, exactly. No matter the knob you turned, it always filled with only 2 ft of water. It didn't finish filling, then start washing, etc. It It groaned for several minutes before it changed to the next thing it has to do, right down to pausing before the final spin and then again before you could lift the lid. It ran for what seemed like about an hour. It used electricity like there was no tomorrow. Man, I hated that machine. Good riddance.

@AdagioM Aww, if I had any role in your return to piano, that makes me very happy! And just doing it for you is the perfect reason! But do let us know how it goes and what you're working on!

I see dead people.

I locked myself out of my machine/ toy. "Genius Bar" is my answer. I tried everything else they said. For hours. Did you notice you iPad can sometimes divide security countdowns to 1/2 seconds. I was told I had 8.5 min. I was told I had 8 hrs after some time. No. I don't have days to spend acting like Tom Cruise in an action movie trying to rob a bank in Geneva.

I never heard of a person being fined almost $2 million and doubt anyone else has either. I think I could try to say something else about this but what do you do with something so random and absurd? It's good to know it happened though because now we know it will probably happen again. WTF

They are irresistibly beautiful, but tricky. I am reliably informed by MrsA that this white one needs little water and lives pretty much off air! Others she's had have needed a moist bathroom environment. Back in Malaysia one of her uncles had a huge greenhouse devoted to growing them. As it happens there's an orchid show in Durham next Sunday which will be fun [image: 1788234004633-8138.jpg]

There are videos saying he staged all of this. Ok. This is what people mean when they say it's not true just because you read it on the Internet. I would look at what the retired top level players both male and female have said. Besides. You only need your eye to see if you know what you are looking at that he's in a radically different physical and mental condition than a short time ago. GOAT! He could retire tomorrow and whether he does or not I don't think we're going to see his level of play again in our lifetimes. He's "coming back" but we'll see.

Sometimes it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
