    Rummage Sale Tips needed

    New stuff is good. Lightly used stuff is good. Tools that are rusted and broken are not so good (I've seen someone trying to sell tools in such poor condition it's hard to see how anyone could use them at all) Free stuff is good because if someone can use it, it saves them a bit of money and...

    What kind of phone do you use?

    I have a Pixel 9, I got it when they first came out and will probably keep it until I have to fight the urge to throw it at the wall because it's so slow. I seldom change my phone, I've been using cellphones since 1995 and this is about my 7th phone. When I first got it a few friends commented...

    Rummage Sale Tips needed

    I've often wondered how much money these kinds of sales actually generate. I've been to a few sales - sometimes there's some interesting stuff that people just don't want any more, and sometimes it looks like someone is just trying to salvage a handful of change by selling stuff that would...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    This threa kinda fizzled out. I snagged a free wood lathe at the beginning of the year. I had been thinking about buying one but needed to figure out space for it, so when a free lathe was offered I told my wife I was going to have it and figure out logistics. It went straight into the basement...

    Pope said He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war

    If waging war is a sin in and of itself much of the Old Testament just became mighty inconvenient.

    What's for Easter dinner this year?

    We ate quite a lot, our daughter visited with three of the grandchildren. The youngest two loved hunting for eggs in the back yard and playing with the assorted doodads we put in their Easter baskets.

    Maundy Thursday?

    Realistically it probably wasn't Thursday at all. Traditionally we commemorate Christ's crucifixion on Good Friday, largely based on the idea that his body was placed in the tomb before sunset so that it would be there before the Sabbath. The Sabbath is Saturday, therefore the crucifixion is...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Now we're into the new month my running goals got reset, so I've been back to running four miles and walking the last section to keep my step count up. This weekend I had a challenge to run a 5k, which was a nice easy one.

    Do you like easter eggs?:) I do.

    Many years ago I bought my wife an enormous Easter egg. It was called an Ostrich Egg and it was sufficiently thick that when I hit it with a toffee hammer all that happened was a tiny piece chipped off. Then I hit it hard with the back edge of a kitchen knife, which did nothing. In the end the...

    What's for Easter dinner this year?

    Ham, potatoes, lots of good stuff. Our daughter is bringing a green bean casserole she makes, which is delicious.

    When fasting, how do you keep your mind off food?

    If going without food entirely causes you problems, why not try a "lesser" form of fasting, where you go without one part of a regular meal rather than skipping the meal entirely? When you refer to fasting are you talking about skipping a single meal or going without food for an extended...

    When fasting, how do you keep your mind off food?

    I guess it's easy for me because there are times I get so focused on something I forget to eat. If my wife goes out for the day without me she always tells me to remember to eat. Sometimes I actually do remember, other times I get late into the afternoon before I noticed I'm hungry. If you can...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    My suggested workout was 36 minutes at a low intensity, but I have an outstanding monthly challenge that required 46 minutes of running before the end of the month. So I ran my suggested workout and just kept going for an extra 10 minutes. I got some extra distance, and finished up my challenge...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Yesterday was a really nice day for a walk in the woods. We covered about five miles, the route is usually longer but we cut a bit off because there's an enormous tree down across the path. It's far too big for any of my power tools to cut, and it turns what should be an easy section into an...

    My wife and I are planning to do another hike today. I ran yesterday, a moderate 4 miles, and plan to run again tomorrow. So a hike at her pace in between serves as a chance to get out in the woods with her, and also lets my legs take it easy for a day.

    Lost dogs where you live?

    In my immediate area, very seldom. In the nearby town it seems there are posts about dogs roaming free all the time, including several mentions in the same area of dogs killing cats and chickens. I carry pepper spray when I'm running because I've had dogs run out at me a number of times. Mostly...

    How many people on here like the whole Q Continuum idea on Star Trek?I do.:)

    I was always more into Star Wars, although kinda lost interest in it after episode VII. I liked the original three, thought The Phantom Menace was truly dismal, liked Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith, only vaguely remember the seventh one, and don't know anything after that.

    The hike we chose was clear, although a little muddy in places. The walk I like to do involves the north side of the mountain, which is usually slower to lose the snow and ice. I'm more careful with that one, having been caught out before. I got part way down the descent on the north side...
