These are the same people who get upset when: 1. I didn't buy a new car after raises. 2. Didn't build a big new house. 3. Didn't go on overseas...

I guess it is human nature. There is one person here I blocked because she was always complaining about being overwhelmed but refused to take...

It is long but very informative. I had read bits and pieces that seemed to conflict but this article brought them all together. Will man (meaning...

Neat to see this take place in the speedy version. Do you happen to know the actual duraton of the move from start to finish.

I think the powers that be will end up declaring the extreme kilowatt hour prices "illegal price gouging during an emergency" and retroactively force...

congrats:cool::D

If only it had moved this fast for real! https://imgur.com/a/AoW7fWC#BM2Gedm

In support of Alan's observation: I belong to a motorcycle forum which is usually friendly unless somebody says something totally stupid. But the...

Wonderful weather here too. Went grocery and other shopping today. It is the first time I took my time and looked around. The stores were not busy...

My county is a "retirement destination". At 57 years old, I'm the median age for the county. A large percentage of our citizens are > 65 and...

Fun morning. Sunshine. Fabulous snowstorm for 15 minutes. Sunshine. :cool:

SUN here! Husband grilled barbeque chicken thighs! Yum and Joy!!!

Kay, They have such energy!

That is at least not as devastating as a five-figure electric bill, but it falls in the same category. btw I'm not against helping out people who...

Late to this, but so beautiful, Kay! You do exquisite work!

So many expats there, COL has risen dramatically in the last 10 years. May be not be the delight later that is currently perceived. A colleague...

Sliced tomatoes, fresh spinach, and cheese on a homemade sourdough tortilla with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

This is a long article but I found the history of climate changes through the millennia fascinating. It seems we have been living in the golden age...

It's at the framers right now. It's just "a picture." I'm donating it as a silent auction item for a local non-profit. Hoping someone will like it...

Alan, thank you for the further explanation and making the reference clearer. As for the "anonymous nature of this medium", etc. - I like to say...

I thought my "represented" comment was pretty obvious but I guess not. In the context of other posts leading up to mine, I was implying that there...

"Climate change doesn’t care whether you believe in it or not." Sums things up rather nicely, I think.

I was saying that - in response to Alan saying: "I agree, but only one of those sides is represented here." I didn't understand his "represented"...

By the time you retire the information you have now will be a moot point. These countries change all the time.

I don’t wash meat.

hmm, ok I will take that under advisement. I doubt that I will ever mask up like a surgeon to wash chicken and avoid microscopic bacteria, but I...

Sun, sun, glorious sun. The sun rises early enough now I can see it on my commute and it was out today instead of snow, sleet and rain. The...

Of course people choose what to post. Sure. I re-read your post as you requested and still get the same message from it. Maybe I am wrong. Are...

I have been trying to understand what is, has happened and will happen with the jet stream that influences climate issues around the world. People...

LOL! Perfect!

IL, please re-read my post. I'm not asking who needs to step up to "represent" or that anyone HAS to step up.. I'm saying in a forum of this type -...

Costa Rica is a stable democracy, has a decent sized expat community, and is a good choice.

Wow, glad you found this out sooner rather than later!

Yeah. Another funny of the day!

I usually wash it in a deep kitchen sink so the only splash back goes into the kitchen sink.

I don't entirely disagree with the "the money would be better spent here" argument. However, it's hard not to credit the NASA scientists, whose...

Love the exhibit especially the Japanese cherry blossom and the conifer glade.

Beautiful, Kay! I like them both, but the heart one is so pretty!

That would take care of the salutation! :D

The blue waves piece is gorgeous I love it! What is it has a finished piece?

I hope you all can see this gallery. It's from the EGA website, but I believe the public can view it: https://egausa.org/gallery/national-exhibit/
