Marble House, Newport
Link to videoCaim to fame- childhood home of Consuelo Vanderbilt, Her Grace The Dutchess of Marlborough.
Doesn't do it for me at all, not the exterior, not the interior.
Narrator attributes it as an homage to the Petit Trianon.

In any case, everything the Petite Trianon is- Marble House is the opposite, imho.
I've decided I'll leave my current (sic) one plugged in when I'm at home and awake.
I've rearranged what is plugged in to what power strips and extension cords also.
Understatement.
@jon-nyc Ok, circling back.

Stopping by to say the Zoom hearing was yesterday, and I had no technical issues from beginning to end.
Thanks again everyone for your help..
@jon-nyc Seeing your post now. Very kind of you.

Yes, moving. Thanks, people.
New skit about my alma mater.
Link to videoHe/ they continue to find ways to fulfill their destructive mission.
DeDantis called it (it that de facto is no longer extant) "Marxist" and "a Marxist commune".
This isn't ignorance. It's beyond ignorance. It's venality.
I found a much better locksmith.
Changed my locks with new hardware.
So glad
Who knows how many keys to this house were floating around after all these years.
Key is oval shape. Don't have to fumble with it.
And he immediately found the the aftermarket key fob receiver box, disconnected it, and removed it, without removing any of the interior panels, and causing no damage to the electrical system
Now it's just one key for everything.
Some people are good at what they do.
I've decided to buy a Danby 1.8
Canada FTW!
It's apartment sized
Perfect for me
Won't miss the noise the Amana made either
Thought would be $500 + 15 years of inflation+ tay-tariff premium because of trade war
No. $379. at Home Depot
Carlos back in the game. A legend in his lifetime at 23.

Yes. I'll show you a picture
It works perfect
I used it for the Zoom hearing
And I used it all day
No accident hanging up
Can work with phone as tablet when on a call
Great reception
So my "fake phone" plug in to your phone thing arrived from China.
It actually works perfectly. I'm pleasantly surprised.
Also, it doesn't use batteries.

It's dropped to 4.87
Oh the humanity
It's risen to 4.88. I'm not making this up. I guess 5's will pull it back up.
I remember only 3 problems in 10 years.
1 was the crazy driver who demanded I give him exact directions as if that weren't his job, couldn't find the drop off, demanded I get out in some strange, vast parking lot, miles from nowhere, I literally refused, he glanced up and found the location, and then started cursing at me, but that was a couple years ago.
The other 2 were the gate issue.
I'm hoping I get back to at least 4.9. 🤪
I've read the posts, and I'm still having trouble thinking of a "big box store" as a meeting place, but I'm glad it works for you, @wtg
You're welcome
you might like. Watch to the end.

I loved this album when I was about 17- 20 yrs old. My girlfriend and I started listening to it when we were at UF. She also introduced me to Cat Stevens, btw.
So, the title track is the one I went to search for today. I found this link. Very happy to find it.
I think of this album as kind of a renaissance for Paul Simon. What a great career.
I remember it like it was yesterday. My father rushed down the hall saying Carter won. He was crestfallen.
I had a general sense it would have been worse if Ford had won. I kept this to myself as you might imagine.
Who else is on my list?
Rose McGowan. The best. "I was good. I could have been great."
She was great. The best film actress of my generation, with a career headed into the stratosphere.
Then she got blacklisted.
Hence, "Charmed", and the rest is history.
Brooke Shields. Ok. She could barely act her way out of a paper bag.
But look at her, from when she was born until now. What can you say.
Her biography includes the fact she earned a degree in French literature, and the unusual enough fact her father was a penniless aristocrat.
She did a TV show where she presented genealogical research tracing her ancestry to a king of France.
So she goes to Paris and is filmed standing next to her ancestor the King's bust.
As one does.
A "big star" in the culture. Not a "great star" in any sense.
She probably doesn't belong on my list but I'm putting her on it anyway.
I'll try to think of more.
My grandfather (b. 1903) told me about Clara Bow (b. 1905) when asked about female stars.
Times change!
