    What made you replace your last car?

    I needed a car that was capable of carrying gear and installation materials. I had a Nissan Sentra but it was not capable of carrying what I need for work and towing light loads.

    Do you still carry cash?

    I always carry $100 in a secret pocket of my wallet as an emergency stash. You never know when you may need it in a pinch, if you have to take a taxi or uber and you need to get somewhere fast it can make a difference ("$100 tip to get me to X in 15 minutes"), that never happened to me...

    Jesus wanted the whole world to know about it. rivers of blood and suffering of the nations

    Ah, personally I will take that as a warning to avoid the site/youtube/page. Sorry, that is just not my "thing".

    What was the first computer you've used?

    I think the first one our family had was a Macintosh II. We also used word processor specific devices at the same time for writing papers for school.

    Uba Tuba stone granite. It was there when we moved in, I like it.

    King Charles III's 1st portrait as king

    A little strange, but not that bad. The hands look disproportionately large, but maybe that is just the perspective of the photo.

    When did you start posting on forums?

    I think the first forums that I was really active on were a Coptic Orthodox forum that I think is gone now, or at least I have not been on for decades now. I was active there around 2001-2004 or so. I was also pretty active on Catholic Answers forums for a while, before the new format killed...

    Melania Trump Is Now Selling $245 Mother’s Day Necklaces

    Seems little expensive for gold plated jewelry, but otherwise I am not sure why we should care if someone starts selling a necklace? Is it simply because it has the "Trump" name attached to it? If so that seems rather petty.

    Flats or Drums?

    Drums all the way

    HOA's

    I have lived in two. The thing is that not all HOA are the same. Some have a minimum standard that I think keeps the neighborhood looking nice. Some are overbearing and take things too far and can be costly. Mine only costs $150 a year and they are not overbearing at all, the rules are all...

    EV Lawn Tractors

    Yeah, I use a combination of 5ah and 4ah batteries. You are right, the batteries are not cheap, but so far they have been reliable. Not to say gasoline cannot be reliable too. However, I did have bad experiences with cheap gas edgers and mowers myself. Sure, I was just explaining the...

    EV Lawn Tractors

    I use an electric lawn mower. I have about 1/4 acre of land and find that to mow, edge (corner property with a lot of sidewalk), weed wack, and blow it takes me two to three and a half batteries a week. The difference is in the summer the grass grows much quicker and longer and is often damp...

    Trump: Abortion Should Be Decided By the States and "Will of the People''

    I am not sure how to respond other than to say that the post is factually correct.

    Baptismal Birthdays

    Very true. The parish that I was a part of was fairly conservative, as it goes, and celebrated a traditional Lutheran liturgy and calendar. The general march of the denomination to the left as well as the decline of that parish were the main reasons I left.

    Trump: Abortion Should Be Decided By the States and "Will of the People''

    In an arguably broken two party system a states-rights supporter is better than a full on abortion at will with federal funding supporter. I probably won't vote for either candidate, but at least one intends to leave it up to the states like the Supreme court has ruled. It's a shrewd political...

    Baptismal Birthdays

    Yes, I was a member at a ELCA Lutheran church for around 3 years and was married in one. I attended an LCMS church for a couple of months, but was not a member. Maybe it's not as common in the ELCA?

    Baptismal Birthdays

    I'll be honest, I have never heard of this practice nor been in a service that made an announcement of such....and I've made the denominational rounds. I don't know the date, I know the date I was received into the RCC, but I don't remember my baptism date....sometime in 2002 or 2003 probably, I...
