yeah, i think he'll be fine eventually as long as you don't force him to be trapped into a small space with Nancy. let them figure it out. even with the best of friends there can be times of strife. last year at about this time i was pulling what little of my hair is left out due to various...

this song takes some time (it builds slowly but soars... the doggies might howl), it's worth it. hard to believe this came out in '72. i've listened to it hundreds of times. (the whole cd is worth a listen :) )...

again welcome to TEG. glad you made it out and were determined to build or create what you needed. :) i'm always feeling fortunate that i could do the same for myself, but it was done with the help of some good people along the way and Mom who is here in her house and i'm helping her out as...

congrats! i'm glad you can share what you do here. :) i retired early after doing a lot of computer oriented work. no regrets with that choice. i consider myself very fortunate to be born where and when i was and that i was able to buy my freedom as i did.

i have a Singer Featherweight in my closet, it does work, as a kid i spent many hours with Mom and eventually learned how to use it which is why she gave it to me. it can be run by hand or by 'lectric foot pedal. a hand crank one would get very tiring if you weren't an alien or an octopus.

i had crows here all day in the yard crowing/calling to each other. i'm not sure why they were here but when i'm outside i do talk to them. of course i don't know what i'm saying - probably something like, "Hey I'm an idiot trying to sound like a crow!" and they come around for the comedy...

microplastics...
