Karma, baby! It is a bitch. But seriously, self awareness of our own foibles can somewhat mitigate guilt. It makes us human and reminds us that we...

They need a channel that is Donald JTrump trials all the time, a separate channel just for that.

my neighbor down the block, took a Time-lapse photo and captured it, so it was visible from down here in Missouri. I couldn’t see them though.

Hmmm, according to the nalomi .wolfe article, Zionism like most things is more complicated than “respect the rights of Jews to have a homeland and...

I troll Facebook for used furniture, specific things I’m looking for, because I just like older solid pieces. Effective life is that we have a truck,...

yes, that #4 lept out at me too. I swear since last fall I looked up Zionism several times to see if they are wildly divergent definitions. They...

Barn doors: nooooooo!!! For these reasons: 1. They do not shut out sound 2. they are a decorating trend that has passed 3. They are fine…in a...

My friend, sometimes readers of the New York Times need the obvious stated.

it is such a relief when things like that are done.

Nice!

we had several hummingbirds buzzing around lately. I wanted to shout at them to tell them to go find better sources for their sustenance, but they...

I have a pretty newish Iris called ‘Bashful Look’ that is a pretty deep pink, with bluish/lavender beard. Last year it won Best in Show at two...

I heard that a couple of days ago too. We probably were listening to the same source, but I don’t remember where I heard it. Anyway – yes, the moral...

Who doesn’t love pocket doors? Builders who have to build them. our architect planned for pocket doors in a couple places, but our builder...

Pretty flowers. But it is hard not to grow pretty flowers in your climate!

I’ve watched the open concept floorplan invade the wonderful Victorian houses of my former neighborhood. When somebody does a gut rehab any more, ,...

Doors are important? I guess so!!! In our 1800 sq ft cottage bungalow our “public “ rooms are pretty open to each other—there are doorways with...

I don’t even know why I bother to respond to you, Bobby, but I cannot imagine what kind of tech set up you have. You can’t use paragraphs. You can’t...

Bobby. 3 photos. Really? can you delete 2?

hi Quade, welcome.

Today finally DH installed a banister on the stairway from the first floor to our basement. I’ve been asking for it for months, and gave him a...

Remember all the good that the Occupy movement did? yeah

oh yeah, try Frenchies, number one on the AKC list. I have had eight French bulldogs in the past 15 years. I’m sure you all remember when I got a...

I kinda like that the students at Washington University here in St. Louis have a specific goal that is within their realm to influence, and that is...

Cane Corsos are trendy and have been for the past few years. I put them in the same trend category as Dobermans were 30+ years ago,, then Rottweilers...

Wolfstock sounds fun. Years ago when we were younger and hipper and our friends were younger and hipper we went to Stray Rescue’s fundraising event...

oh yeah, Cane Corsos are a trend And then they are not generally family dogs especially from breeders who haven’t been doing it for decades and are...

that’s great, bae. Those houndDogs are so silly looking, they are like cartoon dogs, but I know they’re not silly dogs. 100s of repetitions? I am...

Yeah, I don’t think it is that simple in the world of hunting dogs.

but then it can be argued about the brutality of Hamas to their citizen Palestinians. Young Palestinians won’t know much of life outside of Hamas...

firstly, I am surprised you recognize there’s a difference between Republicans in any way since I’ve not seen that in your posts. Secondly, of...

it just irritates me that they chose Leo DiCaprio, Babyface blonde boy, to play Frank Abagnale who was dark and swarthy, and looked older than he was.

yes, the AI images in home decor are becoming a problem. Sometimes I’d like the fantasy nature of them, but other times they’re just over the top

I disagree about the film. The book was a favorite of mine for decades, long before that film came out. I’m not a Leo fan but besides that I thought...

Quite a story. it shows what ingenuity and chutzpah can do.

Rosa that coverlet is beautiful. wait…you have steps up to the bed for your cats? Hunh. we have a set of those steps we inherited when one of our...

And our current President DID address the protesting and rioting, so good for him.

That is a decent message to colleges.

https://www.jns.org/ucla-allows-anti-israel-protesters-to-block-jewish-students/ what the heck is going on at UCLA? Can this be true? Jewish...

Well, in these cases that I’m looking at it is private property. Washington University here in St. Louis is not a public university. My guess is that...

Protesters who don’t deface property, who don’t interfere with the free flow of traffic or movement of their fellow citizens, protesters who make...

on the topic: I don’t know. If things don’t work like they’re supposed to I lose patience, and things that irritate me go into the trash anymore. I’m...

And, there are plenty of police officers who would broadly consider themselves anti-war and sympathetic to that general message. Also, A measurable...

I will have to spend more time with that Washington Post article but it is interesting how the protesting at the Washington universities, GW and Wash...

Hamas will always sacrifice their own citizens for the higher good which is killing the Jews. Hamas will not always have hostages and protect...

oh definitely, people are swayed on the free speech issue depending on what is being said that they like or dislike. That’s why it’s important we...

yes yesterday I spent some time really thinking about the protesters at Wash U. . Anti-war protesting, sure, that’s familiar. I’m sympathetic....

Here in St. Louis rioting has taken place in the past 48 hours at Washington University. Wash U administrators came out with a strongly worded policy...

Not to topic, but there’s lots of topsy-turvy politics going on in Scotland. The Scottisj National Party head resigned yesterday due to no confidence...

Your “before “laundry nook looks pretty much exactly like my current new one. I originally thought we’d have stacked washer/dryer with a cabinet on...

we are running a heat pump in our sunroom. It’s just one room, but it’s had two years to run and it seems to be doing OK.

Nice yellow iris!

Time for some iris rave! look at this big, dark, white edged iris called ‘ Dark Universe’. I lost it in the chaos of our move and a weed...

Here in St. Louis they are gathering for the apocalypse, coming together in a largely abandoned shopping mall.

That is nice that your seeds are growing. I’m not very good with seeds other than the standard annual flowers. Is that how they propagate trees or...

Some of those things are rather 1960’s. I didn’t see the horrible 1970’s trend of wood stoves.
