I probably paid $20 or something for them, but that was more than a decade ago (when they cost more), and they are still going. I suppose poor...

he is one of those academics who did important work early in his career. His subsequent fame and fortune sunk him.

Yesh, that article disappoints me. I really like him and his thinking, but I question his ability to lead a country if he can't keep his personal...

He is on my list to go hear as a candidate, but he is doing very few events, mainly fundraisers. He is used to getting $50,000 to $100,000 for an in...

I will confess that in the year 2017 I bought a MacBook Pro, way too much computer for my needs. It never really took to me. I didn’t take to it....

I thought all good quality LED lights were $3-$5. Granite, I don’t change the lightbulbs in our house so I don’t really keep track of what we have...

Nope I'm planning on trying that once I get closer to civilization. However, I texted my youngest grandson yesterday for advice and he got...

HATE that blue light of some LED bulbs -- ugh!, and really miss the traditional soft incandescent light. I always try to get ones that say "soft"...

Is there an onscreen keyboard that has some prelogin access? USB keyboard is how I am getting around someone spilling soda on my work laptop...

I hope you come away with no leftover pieces!!!

Wow, that's impressive! Here's hoping that all of your pieces find new people to love and admire them. Best of luck on the sale!

Good luck in getting your Mac fixed soon. How annoying!

It all looks beautiful. Quite a lot of variety.

The keyboard on my MacBook stopped working yesterday. Well, not completely stopped, the e, o, m and q keys seem to work just fine but the rest not so...

Wow! That's a lot of stuff! Good luck and have fun today.

We are all set up for the crafts fair today. We did our setup Thursday, and it was so nice to get all the pottery out of the cellar. Unfortunately,...

I saw RBG in person, two nights in a row(*), about 1.5 years before she died, and she seemed perfectly functional to me. Pancreatic cancer sucks...

I remember almost asking her marshall to get her to sign a search warrant for me as a joke. She retired when her husband was diagnosed with...

JP, I’m not your performing monkey and as much as I love you, I won’t respond to your commands. If you really were sincere, you would remember I’ve...

I’ll scream loud declarations of how wrong/bad hamas is if you agree to do the same regarding trump. Since I’m not a supporter of hamas (not sure why...

Because I don’t get the sense that you give a **** that the leader of your party tried to overthrow the government.

Our LED bulbs have all lasted forever with no sign of failing. I don’t worry about the cost.

Good luck in your new position, and thanks for that memorably beautiful photograph.

Okay--SDC stayed on the court till she was 75, then retired, unlike the media darling depicted as a heroine, RBG, who was barely functional the last...

IL, I do the charity distribution of RMD and it is easy. Well, the stock guy does it. My husband chose not to do that. I'm not sure if it impacted...

Speaking of Florida, I was surprised to see Binkley will be on the Republican ballot. He is someone who has ignored NH and spent almost all his time...

Reallly wondering if we’re going to get a bonus this year. Last year was the first one I got one. It just shows up in your bank account around...

Isn’t another state doing that as well, one out west?

I think a lot of that has to do with the media back in the day not being so Team Red and Team Blue in their reporting. Identity politics were not so...

A Republican president, but never came across as partisan herself.

His music for Ragtime and Avalon is my favorite of his work.

Hmmm, and I could find your complacency about Hamas and the support they have from your buddies in the leftie space very upsetting, as someone who...

Your premise that I owe you any sort of explanation for anything is flawed. But that said, apparently you haven’t been reading carefully, because I...

“Little Criminals” was a great album.

Fresh asparagus with hollandaise sauce. I put too much lemon in the hollandaise, but otherwise it was great.

It’s funny how perspectives differ. I see the concept of “unless you loudly agree with me you must favor the enemy” as pretty much a Nazi-adjacent...

I definitely spend more if I use the credit card, so I have gone more to cash. I think some people have that tendency, but if I did not, it would be...

Yes, she even recommended specific vitamins I need to take. And she is not alarmist, very balanced.

This is exactly my experience with my own direct care physician. I have been amazed at the times she reaches out to ask questions, give me advice,...

I use my credit card for most everything too, 99% of spending. The record keeping aspect has come in handy, not only for purchases, but to track my...

Had first appointment with new direct primary care physician. She is wonderful! She looked at all my xray, MRI, and CT results from past year and...

I was surprised and now relieved. I really like Randy Newman, too.

I also do my finances and tracking bills manually. While not necessarily budget related, I keep track of every credit card purchase (don't use a...

Ah, the hate figures of yesteryear. Good to know some things don’t change.

I'm thinking that will look quite lovely and nicer than those bigger ones I've seen.

That is funny that it was a dumpster fire! I have been behind but working on this month's Everydollar budget. I do use a lot of cash, put money in...

The Every Dollar experiment was a dumpster fire. I budget per paycheck. I always have. Budgeting for the month with money I don’t have yet just...

Happy - they are meant to have a battery tealight under the tree, and the light shines through the holes.

Rogar: You are the rock star of the Public Policy Forum. :cool:

IF you are not Republican and don't want T, I suggest one way to be pro active if perhaps not terribly effective: Register Republican so you can...

And I note that Iris still won't acknowledge that trump is completely unfit for the presidency. I won't even bother asking you about that since you...

Unlike you if I've missed out on what's going on the world I'll acknowledge it instead of poo poo'ing it and saying that it doesn't matter. Is...

Careful JP, you're treading on "I'm super dumb and clueless" territory. I'm kidding of course, I really don't expect you to be aware of anything not...

The discussion taking place some days ago on the national stage was about the extreme violence done to Jewish babies, the act of beheading.

And for the record, even though it's not a thing, at least as far as I know since we've never discussed it here and I've not seen a news article...

A lot of people who witnessed (or have since learned about it if they weren't alive yet) what happened in Germany during the 30s/40s would probably...
