    Hurricane lamps

    I have a large hurricane lamp, and have been trying to figure out since the wick holder advancer piece (that's the technical name LOL) is curved should I trim the wick in a curve or straight across for better efficiency?

    In a TOTAL banking meltdown..............

    Exactly, I am not looking at it as preparing for some ax to fall as getting myself as off the grid as I can, and establishing a more self-sufficient in tune with nature lifestyle. Just so happens that those things make you able to handle most anything!! :D

    has anyone taken a friggin polygraph test

    So he's paying for a polygraph??!?! You know everybody's got one in their family. You can tell alot about people by the assumptions they make about others....... My personal theory of relativity: the more relatives x importance of event - likelihood of some one acting like a fool.

    In a TOTAL banking meltdown..............

    Look I am as skeptical as the rest of you or I wouldn't be here. And I believe most of what is on chrismartenson.com Having said that: the debt to GDP ratio has been worse before. so I am not one of the focus on the debt people. It isn't the debt that is the problem - seriously it isn't...

    What to do with....

    Metal mail boxes. During the last big storm some one wiped out our mailbox set up - ours and two neighbors. DH built a lovely new set up for all three boxes. So we have two metal mailboxes, rusted and pretty banged up. What ideas do you all have for them??

    Would you go back to this vet?

    I am thinking of finding a new vet too. Last spring my dog broke one of her toes. (Just running in the woods I suspect she just came home limping.) So we took her in, the toe was clearly broken. So, we had never met this particular vet in the practice before. I figured we would at least...

    Does this freak you out?

    Had some one give me the classic "You're so nuts and paranoid that will never happen here" speech yesterday. I said yeah, that is what they thought in the 20s, that is what they thought in Argentina, Iceland and Greece. People were certain of it in Europe before WWII too. I give up, but I...

    What animal have you rescued today?

    Another rescuer here. Sigh. Found a racing greyhound in the woods behind a track. It was so skinny and sad. I took it home ask around the track, one of the dog owners said it was not uncommon for people to dump losers anywhere. I could not keep him. I found him a lonely old widower who...
