    Sorry to upset anyone, but Easter is pagan worship, but celebrating the resurrection isn't.

    The trouble with a lot of what you're doing here is that much of your posting in this thread is endlessly repeating a verse in Jeremiah about not following worldly customs. Which is all well and good but usually only means "don't do the things I want to talk about right now" rather than worldly...

    Money Saving Tips?

    This is a really good point in general. The trouble with the small purchases is that they are, well, small and it's very easy to suddenly find that you're routinely going through a lot of money each month in the form of tiny little purchases you don't even think about. To take the oft-used...

    Sorry to upset anyone, but Easter is pagan worship, but celebrating the resurrection isn't.

    You do know you can celebrate Easter without worshipping rabbits, eggs or pagan fertility goddesses, right?

    I can't make Tuesday.

    Theatre safety

    This is my take on it too. If you're immune compromised obviously take whatever precautions you see fit. Aside from that, do what you think is best.

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

    Restarted some wiring work. I have a light fitting currently operated with a pull-chain. I plan to put a switched light and probably a ceiling fan in the space so need to rethink it. I don't like using the pull chains on fans because they tend to scratch the glass of enclosed lights, so I've...

    I saw one for rent recently for $550 in a reasonable area. No bills included.

    Money Saving Tips?

    Even if you really need a new tech doodad the vast majority of people can save a chunk of cash by buying something other than the newest and shiniest option.

    Money Saving Tips?

    Don't buy stuff you don't need. Make do and mend. Take coffee to work and make your own, rather than spending $5/day to buy a lifestyle product. Ditto sandwiches. Don't go grocery shopping when you're hungry. Make a list of what you need and only get what's on the list even if something tasty...

    Use cash?

    Usually only in stores that don't take my credit card. I keep a modest amount of cash on hand in case the power goes out or something else knocks the system down for a time. I'd rather not find that when I really need something I can't buy it because my card won't work. Although credit cards...

    Junk Drawer

    Junk - useless stuff. To fully qualify as a junk drawer you need things like: Batteries that don't work Spare key(s) to the car you sold 10 years ago, or the house you don't live in any more At least one hard candy that has stuck to the bottom of the drawer, or to something else A short length...

    Covid habits

    At my church most of the people who make stuff happen don't wear masks. If they required masks I suspect nothing would get done - enough people are sick of them I don't think it would work to impose a requirement even if there was a will to try.

    Covid habits

    We haven't bothered with socks on heads at church for months now. A few people still wear them but the vast majority don't.

    Covid habits

    What trust I had (which wasn't much) in mainstream media and in the government has faded to almost nothing. I got out of a few habits that I'm working to get back into. Chief among them was walking in the woods. I stopped in the early days when everything looked like the virus was going to be...

    Vehicle Maintenance

    I like the convenience of an automatic box but there are times I wish I could override it. There's a particular road near me that has a gentle hill on it that suddenly increases and then levels off. In the snow it can be a problem because my auto box changes down, putting more power to the...

    Ukraine Help

    Not something I've done but I've read of a few people who have booked locally owned AirBNBs. They have no intention of actually visiting but they give a small amount of money directly to a local person. Apparently some of them have been used to house fleeing refugees. Of course you'd want to...
