Just listen to your heart and lungs saying “I *LOVE* what you’re doing with the place!”

My plan has worked: Put it off, put it off, keep putting it off until you’re 55/56, pudgy and don’t give a shit any more.

That is just the best thing - after all the shite of the last few weeks - best thing indeed. Can’t help but grin seeing her PURE JOY at accomplishing something so dramatic.

That’s why they invented reciprocating saws ... just sayin’

I’m a big fan of aerobic light-turning-off, myself.

Along these lines, I’ve found working with European (weight-based) recipes and an electronic scale has revived my love of cooking/baking.

We’ve been making homemade cold brew for the last few weeks. Ten seconds to setup Sunday morning - sits on the counter all day and into the fridge over night. Remove the filter bag with grounds the next morning and we have triple strength, clear and non-bitter coffee for the week.

That’s specifically why I order Americano - the brewed fresh espresso just tastes better. I ordered Americano in the train station in Milan once and I got a cup holding the double espresso and a tiny teapot holding VERY hot water on the side allowing me to mix it just how I like. How very civilized!

This is why I use Yelp as a cheer-leader for small companies people might not know. For example, I was visiting a city that shall remain nameless but rhymes with Boronto and discovered a newly opened (at the time) pen and stationery shop: a small, real mom&pop place that was really friendly, had a nice selection of…

THIS. And, I’d add, make it an expensive place so you won’t be tempted to order seconds or something.

I was thinking of giving him an enema with the drink but your way would work.

My very VERY limited exposure to Rosetta involved witnessing someone in the early stages of learning French. They seemed to be a loop of, well, flashcards (they’d be shown 6 pictures and be asked to click “garçon”)

And that, unfortunately, is the problem. Some years ago Moleskine were manufactured in Europe with paper quality best compared to Fabriano. At that time, the paper was calendared beautifully and using them with a fountain pen was a joy.

Note for the “resize columns/rows” hint - merged cells and word-wrap “breaks” the feature - I make sure merging and wrapping are the last things I do .

OMG I can’t believe I’m defending smily mcNutcase but I have to push back a little: There’s nothing holy or god-given about acting or being an “Act-OR!” and nothing wrong with getting into any “gig” because the $$$ are good.

Oh yeah! Accidentally short one of those beasts and try not to hit the space shuttle as you pass it in orbit.

YES! Sometimes the internal ones’ ends are unmarked - as they’re never meant to see the light of day.

That’s simply how physics works. A run-of-the mill battery - a pos and neg electrode and the “goo” that make the electricity - can only ever produce about 1.5 volts so 6 batteries connected in series (pos to neg to pos to neg) yields 6*1.5 = 9v.
