Re: Instant Memory and Recall
It would be nice, but he is six doors away, downhill from us too. I know you get a kick out of some of the things I've done. Especially my cheap ways of getting certain things accomplished. Back home I had a large aquarium in my living room behind and over the couch. I could clean it from the adjoin...
Re: Critters
It still makes it really hard to find business that are still open, when the road is lined with signs for businesses who closed a decade or two ago and their signs are still up. I saw a sign which appeared fairly new, still had some shine to it, and the lights inside the sign were on when we passed ...

Re: [split] Pizza Pi Day
We had some strange anomalies regarding allergies in the flower business. Family members who worked around mums their entire life, were never affected by them. UNLESS, they performed a certain task with them over a five year period. In the industry, we have those who plant, raise, water, and care fo...

Re: Instant Memory and Recall
When I built our sixteen foot long carpeted doggie run, so the dogs automatically wiped their feet after being outside. I wanted to build a self-cleaning water trough mounted to the wall so they had to go out in the doggie run to get a drink. This way their drips would be outside, hi hi... Toward th...
Re: Critters
I guess coming from such an advanced area as St. Louis County. It was a major shock to find a major city like Knoxville so far back in the dark ages. We live INSIDE the City limits of Knoxville, but do not have Natural Gas available in our subdivision. Homes with poured concrete basements are as rar...

Re: [split] Pizza Pi Day
I agree Pil! I also wonder what they are adding to our foods that cause so many to become allergic to things. Or I could word it as what clogged up the hole to cause allergies to become so dominant. The hole theory is based on exposure limits before one becomes allergic to something. One may not be ...
Re: Critters
Gas used to be so cheap, most homes had outdoor gas lights that ran 24/7 all year round. Even when the mantles were broken, they still just dumped the gas into the air, rather than being turned off. Now Gas and Electric seem to run almost neck to neck. It's a toss up which one is cheaper to use for ...

Re: old greek dude
We have a lot of beliefs, most of which spring up from gross misinterpretation of the bibles. When a religious group no longer sees eye to eye, they split and form another religious group. All 50,000 of them saying they believe the same thing, but still don't agree with each other on much of anythin...

Re: Pi Day
My late wife was heavy, and also had a thyroid condition which didn't help. But even she said quite plainly, in order to maintain BULK, you MUST eat in Bulk. And this was after she cut back to less than half of what she normally ate for years. She wasn't a closet either either, but would starve if s...
Re: Critters
Debi and I looked at a self-cleaning wood stove, but the only models the company sold used wood pellets, and not designed to burn corn at all. I've heard many horror stories from folks with pellet stoves. At least with corn you know you are getting corn, but with wood pellets, manufacturers are not ...

Re: old greek dude
There are many planets we know about that fall into the possibility zone for life as we know it. Worlds very similar to ours, with the appearance of water. I don't think we've gotten close enough yet to determine if they have plant life or not. But when you think of all the thousands of galaxies out...

Re: Pi Day
It was good, but think of the carbs, hi hi... I mentioned before, when I buy a Shepherds Pie, designed as a single serving, it makes four dinners for me. The time before last we drove out to this restaurant, the family sitting next to us put down enough food, it would have supplied us for an entire ...

Re: Instant Memory and Recall
We have a main water dish, the self-filling type for most of the dogs, but keep a small water dish in a corner of the bathroom for the small dogs who do not like the big dish. Of course the big dogs go in there and empty it in a couple of drinks, so we always refill it each time we pass the door. Th...
Re: Critters
The kernels, removed from the corncob, still as just corn kernels, fed by conveyor to a small chute, drop down into a small burner box. In a free-standing stove, like a Franklin stove, the firebox itself is usually only like two to four inches square. Corn produces some ash to clean up, but not like...

Re: Pi Day
My favorite pizza was from a mom n pop shop back home. Whatever she did they were always perfect. She used whole slices of cheese, never shredded, and mixed like three types together. Never skimped on the sauce either. It was not uncommon for folks to order a No Topping pizza from her, because the b...
Re: Critters
I hear ya. I had a coal burning fireplace, but it used bituminous or soft coal. Later, I had a soapstone stove with a catalytic converter in it so it was said to produce less pollution. I could burn wood or hard coal, but they suggested we not burn the soft fireplace coal in it. I never burned coal ...

Re: Pi Day
We have so many different types of pizza over here, and so many options for each, you almost need a directory to keep track of them all. Just the crusts themselves have many different ones, New York style, Chicago Style, Pan, Deep Dish, Thin and Crispy, Thin and Soft, Thick, Extra Thick, Rolled, Tos...
Re: Critters
Oh, I wasn't clear enough, as usual. It could not rain into the open containers, because most were under open sided buildings, or had a roof over them. But many did have tops on the huge vats, but the sides had openings which were always open. Perhaps think of a tall parking lot dumpster you can ope...

Re: Pi Day
I do, because I won't accept one where they shorted the topping diameter. The pizza shops I buy from know this up front and always make sure I get what I pay for, sorta. They may short the individual ingredients to make up for spreading others to the edges, hi hi... Most though, after they learn I u...
Re: Critters
Some kids would occasionally throw something in our big fountain. We were near a scuba shop, and they often tossed dye markers to color the water. Although it looked cute, I didn't know if it was safe for the birds who drank from the fountain. So it was always a quarter day chore to empty, clean, ri...
