  1. Said me to a twink NEVER! 😘
  2. I understand a lot of what you're saying, and agree with some of it. What I'll never understand is electing a man that we know will immediately set out to obliterate our democracy, and assign himself dictator? Even if he would abdicate power after 4 years (which he'd never do in a million years), he was a shitty President who did nothing but further line the pockets of himself and his cronies. Drain the swamp? The swamp engulfed everything. His stance on Covid was absolutely abysmal, and borderline criminal. This fucktard tried and tried and kept on trying to steal our right to a fair election and he belongs in prison! That's my fucking rant!
  3. Whoa! When was the ban on Canadians (well, one Canadian) lifted? 🤪
  4. Of course we all have our own agendas and our own priorities. But let's face the fact that at this point in time, no one President is going to be able to accomplish everything we or even he/she may want. Accomplishing anything in a bipartisan manor today is almost miraculous. As a gay man, I'm just constantly amazed that there would be a person in the oval office that would be attentive to my needs and wants in any way whatsoever. I just never expected it in my lifetime, and now there have been two Presidents to show me that I matter. Nevermind being a woman that would like to be able to make her own decisions concerning her own body. The idea that any Republican would believe a majority of women would like to hand that authority back to a group of men with their own interest at heart is ludicrous! And if I were an addict, I myself would find a bit of comfort in a President that did everything he could to help his own Son's struggles with addiction. If I were concerned about the homeless, I would vote as completely opposite of the Republican party as possible. I think most of us would like to see much less war, but war isn't going away anytime in the near future. The best that I can hope for is to have a responsible person in charge of those decisions and the big Silver briefcase. Again, I'm not discrediting anyone for their political leanings. I'm just stating my reasons for my own.
  5. I myself am pretty happy with what Biden has accomplished. And I'm absolutely ecstatic to have a human being with a moral code and empathy for others back in the Whitehouse. I'm looking forward to 4 more years of Biden.
  6. It just cracks me up that this Big Mac eating, toupee looking, bleached hair, Orange skinned tub-O-lard, thinks he's Arnold Schwarzenegger.
  7. The pharmacist told me that the updated XXB.1.5 wouldn't be available until late September/early October. So this was the bivalent Moderna. I will get the newer booster when available, though the pharmacist didn't tell me how long I should wait before getting another booster. Even though I asked. Once again, shoving something in a hole is not only satisfying, but is also repairative.
  8. The pharmacist had to find a spot between type to mark my covid booster, since my card was full. But I'm boosted again and ready to thumb my nose at the flu as well.
  9. Realized it's been 10 months since my last covid booster. Set up an appointment for Flu/Covid vaccines for 10:00 am tomorrow.
  10. We miss you!
  11. Prepped and started cooking one of my favorite sheet pan meals for dinner tonight, and to munch on for the next several days. About 15 minutes in the oven, Al's Sister Rinni and Neice Dorothy called and wanted to meet out for dinner. Never turning down a fun time with this Mother/Daughter duo, the meal will go into the fridge for a meal tomorrow. I'll pick up a loaf of Good Earth's baguette while I'm out, and that'll make it even better. Italian tonight. Maybe a good salad too.
  12. That is pretty cool!
  13. I made sure that this time the payments automatically are pulled from her separate account. Her husband is an irresponsible asshole.
  14. The sound effects make the video. Takes me back a few years.
  15. I like Darko Audio reviews. Down to Earth reviews without any sense of self grandeur.
  16. This will be a long drawn out post. Just a fair warning for those with better ways to spend 15 minutes or so. I hadn't posted about this here, but the last couple of months have been extremely difficult for my Mother. As it happens her husband stopped making the payments on the motor home (unbenounced to her) that they lived in. To make matters worse, it was close to being paid off. She had 3 days notice of repossession (they're both in their 80's). Couldn't find a way to stop that from here. But I was able to find a used 40' bumper pull trailer in great shape, very close to her. She was able to make that purchase, and the trailer was supposed to be delivered in 3 days time. So just a short hotel stay. That turned out to actually take over 3 weeks and a $2000 hotel stay. She's on a very fixed income. Then, after locking up her old motor home and actually cutting the water and electric hook ups, the bank decided that the motor home wasn't worth repossessing. The giant slide-out had rusted frozen after nearly 20 years in the South Texas beach weather. Also with my Mother and her husband both being legally blind, they had no idea that they were living in a roach infested, mold infested, horrible environment. They had a pretty bad roof leak. My Mom has COPD, and could barely walk from one end of the 32' motorhome, to the other. So, this frozen up motor home that wouldn't start, and was going to cost almost $4000 to be removed from the RV park they live in, the bank decided to abandon at the RV park, leaving my Mother on the hook for removal. Mind you, the bank held the title, left the motorhome locked and unusable (no hook ups). After talking to several businesses, my Mother discovered that no one would even consider moving it without a title. Long story longer, the bank wasn't able to get away with their despicable activities. I fully understand that the mortgage was behind some eight thousand dollars ( however, even though he had missed 8 payments, he had made 6 payments after that. Payments that the bank had accepted). And again, they were literally a few payments away from being payed off, minus the 8 back payments. She did end up having to make rent on two lots for one month, once the new trailer was finally delivered, and the old motor home was still in the old lot space. So, to catch up... They found a company to haul away the motor home with a giant wrecker. This company charged the bank (the legal owner) space rent, while they started refurbishing the motor home. The bank settled with them for lot rent and removal fees. The bank also settled with the RV park for lot space rent (2 months) which the park gave to my Mother. The RV sales company that turned a 3 day delivery into 3 weeks has agreed to reimburse my Mother for 80% of the hotel bill, and the hook ups that they were supposed to do and didn't, which my Mom had to pay someone else to do. Also the payment on the trailer was knocked down $130 a month. They told her that to qualify for the loan, she'd need an extended warranty. Turns out that was bullshit. And she had only financed $7000, and paid cash for the other $11,000. People really like to fuck over Senior citizens! Today I got the news that my Mother qualified for Medicaid. This also qualified her for a helper to come in 14 hrs. a week to clean, do laundry and all the shopping. My Mother and her husband can't drive anymore. He's almost fully blind, and she's loosing her sight pretty quickly ( both have macular degeneration). The Dr. has told her that her COPD is vastly improved (no mold or roach poop for a few months now). And finally, South Texas has no real transit help for Seniors or handicapped individuals. The bus they paid for to get to Dr. appointments is now also covered by Medicaid. That and they qualified for Meals on Wheels (more of a logistics challenge than a financial one). So, what was a complete pain in the ass, and absolutely despicable behavior by the bank (at least in my opinion), has now turned into a bit of a rainbow after a bad storm. I can't thank my Cousin enough, who spent hour after hour moving, boxing, cleaning and redelivering all of the roach infested clothing and belongings. Also pairing down a ton of crap that they just didn't need. Happy ending!
  17. Nice! Now I can see that's a stained cloth under it. It really did look like Burled Maple in the other pic. Love the Cherry in combination with the figured Walnut!
  18. Many people knew him as a country singer. Some knew that for a short time he was a Beach Boy. Not many know that before his singing career took off, he was a member of The Wrecking Crew, and an extremely well respected studio guitar player. In fact, one day when The Wrecking Crew showed up for a scheduled recording session, Glen happened to be standing in front of a microphone. As members of the crew teased him for his humor, they were quite surprised to find out that they were actually there to lay down music for Glen Campbell's first album. Anyway, here's Glen picking the William Tell Overture.
  19. He's too busy hangin' with Atlanta rappers.
  20. So it won't be mounted high enough where you won't see it? I'd just buy a small roll of cherry edge banding. The iron on type for ease of use. https://quickshare.samsungcloud.com/ghUOwhS1hJX0
  21. I think the problem is your putting panda semen where the unicorn semen should go.
  22. Also building a false beam for the ceiling. Biscuits and a biscuit joiner are still handy for lining up long mitered corners!
  23. Put together and installed double pocket doors. The company finally listened to me and bought good quality aluminum frames. No more warping wood frames rubbing against the doors.
