I'll second that. The one fridge that we bought that was expensive AND rated #1 by consumer reports was the Samsung and it died shortly after the warranty finished. Yes. My 1964 Corvair is almost never a problem, and when there is an issue it is easily fixed with a wrench and a hammer.

95 more to go

He's in the same place as Alex. Might be an interesting or at least stealth way to deliver something that we really don't want.

Didn't want to look stupid twice in such a short time.

Wow, now I'm confused. I saw God depicted as an elderly man in the ceiling painting at the Sistine Chapel. I thought the Vatican was an authority on these type of things.

Your legs??

I'm so impressed to see TBoneTX posting in the Beauty Thread. Metrosexual, si man.

Let me refer you to a previous post on farting...

This am at Walmart the price was $3.92 a dozen which is down about 75 cents from two weeks ago, BUT the cost of the small packets of soft dog food we use (and the only ones that our little princess will eat when mama doesn't give her the good stuff off the table) went up by about 18%. Just cant win.

My wife's sister in Russia has chickens. Talked with her last weekend and was asking about eggs over there. Not sure how many chickens she has, but she is averaging 17 eggs per day. Many go to family members and the rest she sells. They don't sell by the dozen, instead they sell based on 10 at a time. She gets 120 rubles for 10 eggs which is just under $2.

Oh @TBoneTX, you're just asking for trouble.

Yes, after 2014 but not since Covid started.

Thanks. I really needed this. LOL

It might be costly, but I know where there are a lot of "undocumented" folks risking their life to get to a better place. Wonder how they might like Japan?

We've had a lot of pre war cruise experience with this while my wife was a green card holder, citizen, and two sets of Russian friends on tourist visas at different times with Carnival cruise line. It's really hard to get a firm answer out of them, but it worked out for us. Basically once you get on the ship all is good. We never had passports or green cards looked at until returning to the US. The huge issue we did have was with Russian friends on a tourist visa that arrived (several years ago) in early January, around the 8th. Checking in to get on the ship the cruise agent noted the US entry stamp in the Russian passport had the previous years date on it. CBP had not updated their stamp to reflect the current year. While we were trying to find a solution to this problem a call was made to the local CBP officer. Was taking forever. Our friend finally found a copy of his plane ticket on his phone that showed the correct date of his flight. It apparently was enough to convince CBP they had made a mistake. We all made the cruise, just barely. After getting on the ship there were no issues on or off and passport were not needed until returning to the US. Carnival does cover their butt by telling passengers it's their responsibility to have proper visas for each stop, but on one of our first cruises when I was getting the hard sell to book another cruise while on board, I had a long discussion and that's when I was told that once you are on the ship there really wouldn't be a problem. At least that was our experience.

You don't think it's a problem to continue with the K-1 after getting married?

Marry now but keep the I-129F open as an option?? I am not a fan of that advice.

Why?

I don't know how LG is with stoves, but after our experiences with a LG washer and a Samsung refrigerator, we won't be buying either one.

This is a place we have visited a number of times. My wife always said she wanted to be laid to rest there, but I don't think that's going to work out. At any rate it's a place that fits in well with this weird and quirky town. https://www.flkeysnews.com/news/local/article271269807.html How about a nice stroll through the cemetery? Maybe it’s not your first choice for a walk, but this is no ordinary cemetery. In Key West, some of the dead have a message. And a few will make you laugh. On one grave: “I Told You I Was Sick.” On another: “If You’re Reading This, You Desperately Need A Hobby.” And one says: “I Always Dreamed Of Owning A Small Place In Key West.”

You know I am a bad student with a poor attitude. Just flunk me right now and get it over with.

Somewhere in my collection, hidden away very well, is my Crosby, Stills, and Nash album prior to adding Neil Young. Wish I still had an operating record player..

I liked the 80's. They were some of my best years. Finished school. Got married (the first time). Had two kids. Moved to the paradise known as Florida. Started a business, etc etc. On a related note, just finished one of those ridiculous click bait quizzes pairing celebrities with their 1970's TV show. I got 50 out of 51 correct. Missed some chubby black kid and his show. Maybe I'm a racist? Guess the take away is that I watched WAY too much TV in the 70's.

Extra chemicals and preservatives? On a related note, an excellent gasoline preservative is a food preservative known as BHT. I have been using it (on and off)for many years. Better than the stuff available at the stores locally.
