You could call to ask about it without necessarily raising a formal complaint?

Lazy evening last night. I had planned to do a bit more insulation work but my wife was out and it was only after she left that I remembered we didn't cut the panels into strips before she left. Trying to manhandle an 8x4 sheet through a table saw singlehanded without wrecking anything seemed...

I hoped to replace a basement light switch with a motion activated smart switch. Sadly the back box isn't big enough for the new switch so I had to put the old one back. Now I'm contemplating how I might work with a deeper back box. The space I have to put a switch is a very awkward gap between...

It's all about equality, innit? The idea that a woman who weighs 100lb when soaking wet couldn't take down a 300lb man trained in martial arts, or subdue multiple attackers Bruce Lee style, while barely breaking a sweat is clearly sexist and therefore offensive.

I planned a gentle run today because we're still under a heat advisory. It ended up being less gentle than I intended, largely because I'm finding I gravitate to a pace that's a little faster than I can sustain for any length of time, and also because it didn't feel like an intense effort even...

It's an easy option. If it's all about what Jesus did then I'm nobody special. If it's all about doing it yourself then I'm clearly better than you are because I'm doing it and you aren't.

Maybe you and your husband need to be snowbirds. Sell the house, get an RV, and spend your retirement heading north and south to stay in the weather you prefer? I hear Nicaragua is very nice. Never been there, and not sure I'd want to uproot and have to learn a new language as part of...

I think the last time I really dressed up was for a friend's wedding that was several years ago now. I have formal wear but I've lost so much weight since I wore it regularly I don't know if it would be so loose it would be almost unwearable. In church I'll dress moderately more smartly if...

We have a bulletin, which includes the order of service. The order is almost identical every week so about the only difference is who is leading each individual section. It also has a few notices in it.

I didn't get a run in, I went for a walk with my wife instead. Then I used some offcuts to fill a space between wall studs that's not a standard width (it's that way on purpose because it spans an internal wall, and it meant that stud spacing within the rooms could be as close to standard as...

A guy I knew years ago often talked about moving to Arizona. For him the chance to live the rest of his life without having to cut grass or shovel snow again was a big attraction. But then there's the heat...

Not really a big fan of rap but if I had to pick one it would probably be Eminem. It's not a wide field, I don't really know many rappers out there.

Surprised just how much dust I've created from cutting up my insulation panels. I decided to clean up around my table saw before cutting any more panels, not least because as soon as I fire up the saw it starts blowing crud into the air. So I brought up the shop vac and set to cleaning. It took...

I go easier on my exercise, and spend more time indoors with the air conditioning on. If I'm working in the part of the house that doesn't yet have air conditioning I'll take more breaks so I can cool off. It's not much fun working when dripping sweat all over everything. Electrical work is even...

Or he's a false prophet, saying incorrect things about other false prophets.

For now at least, unless my circumstances change or governmental economic incompetence drives me to make a drastic move.

I got three more strips of insulation cut and fitted. It's intensely sweaty working in that space. We have air conditioning in other parts of upstairs but this section is unfinished so nothing at all to keep anything cool. I don't want to open windows to create a breeze because that just blows...

Your question sounded like it was looking for ideas. I haven't really thought about moving from where I am now. I don't know I'd want to start retirement by having to build a completely new life.

Whatever someone says about false prophets doesn't automatically mean they aren't a false prophet.

Usually at the church but it's up to the family. Sometimes they have a funeral at a different church, and occasionally at a funeral home.
