Done!

@DeweyLOU 😄

Cindy - "Part of the problem is that folks just dont understand the reasons they are struggling because the reasons are complex."

I believe this may be a large part of "how did this happen?" - that Republicans have gotten good at providing simple reasons... no matter that those reasons aren't true, they resonate with voters... Seems to me that I remember Hillary having a plan and policy for everything, but it took more than a few words to explain.

Will figure this site out…later! hello to all.

@Quirt-Evans said in My experience w local piano movers:

That was when the intensity of the phone calls to arrange the disassemblers seemed to increase.

Good grief!! It's so frustrating when you have to push people to do their jobs right...

Berkshire Hathaway, the stock that's basically a mutual fund...

👍

Fun!

Thanks for that, @AdagioM .

Up till now, I've made items where the size isn't critical (scarves, hats, afghans). "Negative ease", mentioned in that first table, is a new term for me. Obviously important when one is making slippers, or especially for socks!

Anybody heard of Wyatt and Ash washable rugs? Saw them pop up on Costco’s website and they seemed like they were like Ruggables. Except I think they're quite a bit cheaper..at least on Costco.

Turns out they are one piece, with a non-skid backing. Of course their online marketing material talks about how much better they are than two piece washable rugs...

@Mik When I wrote that we were in season 1. Now we are in Season 3. Now I agree with your assessment! It just took them awhile to figure out what they wanted to be!

I love the unnaturally green relish. It's like a Christmas hot dog.

Our Whirlpool washer and dryer have been serving us well since 1995. Built to last. I think newer machines are planned obsolescence.

I have an update!!

The electrician came out. The landscape lights work, and they actually look great when on. The guy said the part that was worried about is just old and doesn’t look great but still functions so we’re leaving it as is. (Bc the alternative is probably totally disconnect and switch to solar stick lights)

So Instead of swapping out the lights that are there, we added a timer to the switch plate as per @wtg ‘s suggestion.

Yay!

I think we might actually be done with all the stuff we needed to when we closed on the house 😊

I think it’s a White Pine “Baldwin”

Pinus parviflora 'Baldwin'

I may have said this before, but we all only 'know' the candidates through our choice of entertainment media. Therefore, when people that have worked closely with a candidate cross party lines to support a candidate from another party, THAT'S something that really grabs my attention. No matter what you think of Trump or Harris, listening to those that KNOW how Trump really operates should tip the scales - unless there are a bunch of those that have worked closely with Harris that are crossing lines to support Trump.... I haven't seen any evidence of that!

I was pretty sure it would be really good; the combo of salmon and that sauce is a natural.

And I hadn't noticed the feta in the recipe for the sauce but I agree with leaving it out.

@Steve-Miller said in DNC:

As is Tim Walz.

I missed his speech. Here it is:

Thank you!
