    Stair climbing

    Not yet, hopefully I've got several decades before stairs become a problem. Which is just as well, given how many of them there are in my house.

    Must Haves on a Church's Website?

    So if you'd watched a few live streams of services and thought everything was good, then went to the church for real and found a clown, you wouldn't be interested in knowing why they were using a clown? If the church hosted a service aimed at the children once every three months and that...

    Still cannot do at your age

    Run a 2-hour marathon. In fairness I never tried to run a marathon but based on the time it takes me to run lesser distances I can say with absolute confidence that a 2-hour marathon isn't happening, unless the route includes some kind of space-time wormhole.

    Must Haves on a Church's Website?

    If you did see a clown in the pulpit would you write off the church completely, or look to figure out why they might have done it? Of course if you watched a dozen live streams and didn't see any clowns that wouldn't assure you that the church would never put a clown in the pulpit, right?

    Must Haves on a Church's Website?

    I think we partly agree on this one. The first and last posts you quoted shifted from live streaming to checking out web sites. I don't dispute that having a web site lets you check out the basics of a church to see if it will probably be worth visiting. If you're into traditional liturgical...

    Must Haves on a Church's Website?

    I wasn't talking about looking at web sites, I was responding to Lamb's comment about watching live-streamed services. Yes, if there are 100 churches within a five mile radius it would take two years to visit each church for one single Sunday each. But the chances are someone looking for a...

    Must Haves on a Church's Website?

    You can check out churches ahead of time but you can only gain so much insight from watching things on a screen. You can only gain so much from even attending a church a couple of times.

    Must Haves on a Church's Website?

    Or the "modern person" (whatever that means) could just go to the church and find out what it's actually like, rather than treating it as just another consumer product.

    HOA's

    Probably not. I don't really want some external group telling me what color curtains I'm allowed to have and fining me because my grass is 1/10" too tall. I also don't want any more groups in my life that tell me what services they are going to provide and how much I have to pay for them, even...

    Lunchables

    Mass produced school food is nutritionally trash. Is anyone surprised by this?

    Visit other churches when on vacation?

    Not usually. If we're visiting friends and they attend a church we're inclined to trust we may all go on a Sunday morning. If we're visiting an area where we don't know the churches we don't feel the need to visit a new church, when the chances are very low of us ever going back there because...

    Lawn Care

    Not for many years. I can't remember how much it cost. It was more than I was thrilled about paying, but at the time it was worth it because we had enough other stuff going on it was easier to just let someone else worry about cutting grass. Once the dust settled we bought our own mower and have...

    Optimizers vs Satisfiers

    It really depends on the decision. If it's something that makes little long term difference or is easily changed then there's no point spending lots of time and effort making a perfect decision. If it's something that's difficult or expensive to change, and has long term impacts, I'll take more...

    USA Biden Gives 3.3% to Charity

    Reportable income? Presumably that doesn't include "10% for the big guy"? Either way it's pretty sad, but more or less what we've come to expect.

    EV Lawn Tractors

    Are they illegal in that you can't buy new ones, or in that you're not even allowed to use mowers you've had for years? I'm sure a car has a lot more emission control but when the gas that takes my car to town and back once is enough to run my mower every week for 3-4 months, it's hard to...

    EV Lawn Tractors

    I use a battery powered strimmer and hedge trimmer. Their use is short enough that a single charge lasts more or less forever, my other power tools use up whatever's left in them. Corded is a pain, unless you're working with a postage-stamp sized yard I wouldn't want to work with a tethered...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    My suggested workout yesterday was 80 minutes of running so 10,000 steps passed by some time during that. Then I spent the evening with a youth group I help with, so chalked up a few more steps even if my legs weren't thanking me for it! Today should be easier, my suggested workout is only 42...
