Whoa. Way too exciting, and glad you're all okay. My mom had a preternatural ability to attract destruction upon self-propelled machinery, but never was injured, in at least 5 car wrecks. I've had some fun myself; only injured once. My niece has it so strong, she's had two cars totaled while they we...

That is good news! Hope it works out for everyone.

Yeah, I'd advise you not to speculate about that on the internet . . . .

Hope you can work it out. That really sucks.

I look in every week or so. Not expecting anything anymore.

Polar, non-polar, bi-polar or whatever- nothing you cannot cure with .50 caliber Browning. Unless they shoot first (here insert reference to "Support our right to arm bears" poster) Bears are notoriously poor shots. Betcha Morty Nickelovich-Smythe (a.k.a. Doc) will STRONGLY disagree. :mrg...

Apparently, the original stent from 2007 re-clogged- as this is the artery that supplies the left anterior ventricle, it is often referred to as 'the widow maker'. A subsequent branch was also clogging. Both got stented. Today, I was lectured at ends about letting it get this bad. I already have sc...

Many of the forum participants have a deep, unsettling fear of the sound of crickets.

Since that's most of what we've been hearing here (and on the main Wapsi site), they've taken cover.

Jiminy! I think you're onto something . . . .

Haven't looked in for a while. Sure hope the local agencies are helping you out.

Just saw this, Opus. Hope recovery is well underway!

Good to see some life here, though Pablo has obviously been busy.

Just googled to check: It took Warner Bros 15 months to produce a 7-minute Looney Tune. And they had a whole studio workforce.

Check the fluid level (assume it's automatic)? Was it acting glitchy at all before it quit?

With automatic transmissions, either it's something fairly simple and low-cost (like a bad cover gasket), or it may not be worth the price of diagnosis to find out.

Good luck!

You do get used to it. Both living alone and living with people have advantages and drawbacks.

Hope you're staying warm. Nasty cold a lot of places this week.

I got Covid for Xmas, and the stuff that other folks on here got hit with here makes me feel lucky.

I make many iterations of vegetarian hot and sour soup, myself. Often when I'm not sure what I'm making when I begin.

I'm not above sleazing out and using whole wheat spaghetti for the noodles, either.

I wish I was that young- I will be 70 in August. I hear ya. In 28 days, I'm turning 39 again (for the 32d consecutive year!), myself. And parole from the publishing gulag has been confirmed, effective February 1. Dave, my dad had congestive heart failure, kept going right to the end but knew it was...

Glad to know that things are going a little better for you. Maintaining a house is way cheaper than renting, and avoiding debt you can avoid is always a good plan. I've never borrowed to buy a car. Drove near-junk cars for decades and found later, when I had more income, that a good 3-year-old car w...

Speaking of helium leaks... https://home.cern/news/news/accelerators/lhc-leak-repair-short-photostory Went through this pretty fast, but I think the takeaway is that CERN doesn't keep duct tape handy. :mrgreen: And I've stayed out of the CrossTime Cafe on purpose, because I'm still technically empl...

Yeah, last few posts, got an error message after hitting Submit, but then found the message had posted okay. Error 500, I think.

For mine, this time they sent a tech wearing an Xfinity shirt in an Xfinity van. He determined while still in the van that the modem was not getting good signal, and proceeded to replace an old cable connector and a 3-line splitter outside the house. That fixed it. He disconnected the modem to conne...
