Will that work on PCs too? Not all of us use smartphones. Yeah, then we could have kept using Netscape for our browser. :ROFLMAO: 🙃

Found this at the town dump/transfer station yesterday. Works fine, just broken handle. Replacement is $4...shipping was 3x that! :ROFLMAO: Hard to believe someone would toss a perfectly good saw over a $4 part. Nothing I'd want to use for serious cutting, but it's light and perfect for those...

"Listen carefully because our options have changed" :ROFLMAO:

No pump. It's a surface water well (I guess you could call it a spring), and gravity supplies all the pressure. Not me! I'm still like a little kid about winter, still get excited when we get a snowstorm. Don't necessarily LIKE subzero temperature, but it doesn't really bother me either...

Same here. Probably 2/3 of my neighbors have their own tractors so not much call for tractor work. I'll plow out the end of one neighbor's driveway in the winter (he has a snowblower, but the tractor will handle what the town plow puts there much easier). Even though they're younger than me...

It's a shallow (dug) well that's on a hillside 30 or so feet higher than the house. When I say shallow, I mean shallow. I can stand in the bottom and see over the top. Been here 20 years, never gone dry. Never had it tested, but with a mile or so of woods in any direction other than towards...

I don't put a lot of faith in these long range predictions, more often than not they're way off the mark. That having been said, we have had some nights already that have gotten into the 30s. It's not unusual for us to have snow on the ground in mid-Nov. that stays there 'til spring. I just do...

That seems to be the latest thing for the scammers. I've gotten those too...they'll disconnect when they get the answering machine, then immediately call back. Several times, same # in the caller ID. Couple times I was home, and added that # to the call block list right then & there.

Me too. All I have is a cheapie "burner" flip phone, and that stays in a drawer 99% of the time. Maybe it's just my age (75), but I have no need or interested in being "connected" 24/7/365.

More inside space also = higher heating costs. Our place is ~1600 sf, just right for the 2 of us. Some of the newer houses with needlessly huge rooms seem just such a waste of space. We live in northern N.H. and use only cold water for laundry. Modern detergents don't need hot water...ours...

That's what a "regular" coffee is in New England. What's a regular coffee where you come from?

Anyone I knew growing up called it a frap. NO ONE called it milkshake back then. Term seems to have fallen out of favor some time in the 80s. Maybe just a New England thing. Don't know many yuppies, so have no idea what they call it. I knew it was over when McDonalds started calling it a...

What about all the stories I read about alligators in backyard pools, pools/waterways in parks, etc? Moose tend to avoid humans, bears are more of a problem in that regard. People (and not just tourists 🤬) either think they're cute and try to feed them, or don't think and leave bird feeders or...

What few USPS issues I've had can mostly be blamed on new or substitute carriers unfamiliar with the route. Our regular carrier almost never screws up.

Or a cable provider (pick one, any one). Phone companies too.
