Sadly, we're more of an "F-troop" budget family....

That comes about 30 minutes after the result of our first discussion.....gotta get her a little more receptive for something THAT important.....

I can't imagine the tension in households where spouses disagree on what action to take today. It must be unbearable. I am blessed in many ways, and one of those ways is having a wife who can discuss options, pros, and cons with me politely and intelligently, and even agree to disagree amicably...

I find it pretty much impossible to make a comment on "gender fluid" clothing and the societal forces bringing it to the core without entering the spin zone so I won't. I can say that I will not be pouring any gender fluid on my oatmeal morning. "Clothing makes the man." "Dress for success." "I...

Thanks for the thoughtful reply, Ted. I'd like to respond to the portion I quoted above. I've heard that rationale many, many times and, in my opinion, it comes from a false premise. A speed limit's primary purpose is NOT to dictate at what speed a specific vehicle can safely negotiate a...

I'm not sure why people are characterizing an officer who gives a ticket for doing 73 in a 65 as a "dick." 65 is the speed limit. 73 is over the speed limit. Yes, people speed... frequently. Yes, officers frequently look the other way unless the speed is ridiculously over the limit, but that...

Woof....no explanation. I could have sworn that your post had @denverpilot 's avatar and sig when I read it. My apologies. It was a beautiful post... Thank you.

Yeah...but the cost to insure it.... ;) ...

You're killin' me, Nate. That was beautiful.

More good news...just got a call from my wife's sister (Sam's mom)...Sam's been taken off the ventilator and has been breathinf on his own for the last hour and a half. Through a tracheotomy, of course, but still.... :)

Thank you all so much... your love for your fellow humans and your faith are both touching and humbling. Some good news to report, although it's going to be a long road. Sam's swelling created a lot of pressure on his brain and the vent(s) they had installed couldn't keep up with it, so they...

How are we to take data seriously if it's not presented in metric measurements? Was that scale manufacturer owned by or otherwise linked to any of the headset parent companies? And....what about the OP himself...what exactly is HIS relationship to these manufacturers, hMMMMMMMmMMMMmmmmmm...

That is one gorgeous creature. I'm a German Shepherd guy, and have been for almost forty years, but that pup would have a home here any time.

Patience. Kindness. Consistency. Consistency. Did I say "consistency?" It'll be MORE than worth it. Approach training as something fun to share with your dog, rather than a task that neither one of you wants to do. Yes, puppies are a lot of work. That's why they're so cute. If they weren't...

For quick, easy, and effective editing, converting, compressing, etc., irfanview is great, free, and easy to use. It'll load pdf files and allow you to convert them to jpg or pretty much any other graphic format you can think of. Been using it for many years. It's not as powerful as Photoshop...

Dogs are simply walking, running, panting, breathing reminders of love that knows no boundaries, questions, or end. We lost our first Shepherd almost thirty years ago, and I can still "feel" him around us sometimes. Here's the one we lost in August, 2018... to a hidden burst pancreatic tumor...

We have a pretty good size stream/creek running through our backyard...maybe 30 feet wide, about six feet deep. Our most recent German Shepherd (lost him 2 1/2 years ago..finally almost ready to adopt our fourth in as many decades..) was well trained, but had the strongest shepherding instinct...

And yet, you managed to sneak a political message in, semi-subtle style. Congratulations ... sigh...

This guy actually had that opportunity....

Thank you all. The MRI results, at least as they were represented to Sam's mother, were fairly discouraging, and the family is coping as best we can. I haven't asked for permission to divulge personal details online, so I'll refrain from commenting further. About four years ago, I underwent...
