    Homeowners

    Can't you get stair lifts where the chair folds out of the way? Our house has steps everywhere. You can't get into the house without going up at least three steps. I ponder our future, whether we'll be able to cope with steps forever. But we have two stairways going upstairs, so if needs be we...

    Stealing a crucifix

    I guess if you want to be specific about ownership the item was taken from the dead man and thereby stolen from the dead man's estate. Since the estate hasn't been distributed the item can't be said to belong to his heirs, and therefore the item belongs to "estate of John Doe". I think there's...

    Stealing a crucifix

    I suspect so. I wonder if we're disagreeing over the issue of something having a special meaning to the person who lost it, compared to the law taking a neutral stance and looking at the financial value rather than the sentimental or emotional value. From a legal perspective all the law can do...

    Things you never say

    Looks like a bargain to me.

    Do you believe that it rained for 40 days and night as the Bible describes?

    The numbers indicate an unfathomable amount of water, but doesn't the text also refer to water rising up from the earth and subsequently seeping back into the earth? That would indicate firstly that the rate of rainfall would be substantially lower and also accounts for the question of where it...

    Republican presidential candidate Sen. Tim Scott

    It's nothing new. In 2000 during the Bush/Gore election much of the chatter then was to switch the first letters of the candidate names, and to wonder why a country of (then) some 250,000,000 people couldn't find more inspiring candidates than those two. In 2008 the choice was little more...

    A new piece furniture

    I bought a couple of nightstands a few years ago. One was in nice condition, the other much less so. Which was fine, the less pretty one got stripped, sanded and refinished and now looks really nice.

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

    I have an adjustable spanner but naturally the nuts I needed to remove were positioned such that only a socket was really useful to get at them. A very small adjustable spanner could just about get at one of them but then couldn't give me the torque I needed to remove it. If I recall I needed a...

    Ring Video Doorbell

    A friend of mine has one. It's handy for the times I watch his house when he's away for a few days. Overall I'm uneasy about the sheer level of surveillance we're willingly subjecting ourselves to these days. In 1984 the telescreens were mandatory, but if they were introduced now I can imagine...

    Stealing a crucifix

    An awful lot of people who wear crosses aren't Catholic. In any event, it's still far from clear why it's worse to steal something because it has religious value to the owner or why it's worse to steal something that someone blessed. Your comment about stealing the communion is an assertion...

    Stealing a crucifix

    I suppose technically you'd be stealing from his estate, on the basis that until the will is processed it doesn't belong to the heirs yet.

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

    Last time I needed to change a car battery I pretty much had to do it myself. My wife's car refused to start because the battery was dead. I could have jump-started it and driven it to get a battery but it seemed easier to just take my car and collect a battery on our way home. I didn't expect...

    Stealing a crucifix

    So what if it has the image of a generic male figure that we assume in Jesus on it?

    Stealing a crucifix

    Why would you assume such a thing? Even if you're right, what difference does it make? How does stealing something from a dead person become somehow worse because a priest blessed it?

    Stealing a crucifix

    So why is stealing a cross-shaped piece of gold different from stealing a star-shaped piece of gold? Is a cross-shaped piece of gold holier than a piece of gold in some other shape? What makes a piece of gold more holy than another piece of gold? Does the emotional or religious attachment...

    If 1000 Earthly years are like 1 day to God,...

    Talk of the last days is always a good way to generate as many opinions and interpretations as there are participants, so whatever anyone says will be contradicted by many others who can all point at Scriptures to support their views. I think a key thing to remember with terms like "last days"...

    Why is stealing a crucifix any different from stealing anything else of similar value?

    Pretty easy. If one of us is snoring we have a guest bedroom that works nicely.
