Hearing about kids who work hard and who accomplish good things inspires a really vigorous happy dance!!!

The initial price of them was low.
However it soon increased to a level where it was more expensive than the bottle that contained the same amount and took up only two thirds the space.
The plastic Ball came next, it looks like a WW2 naval mine.
The liquid is poured into it and the Ball in inserted into 'The heart of the wash'.

Thank you for your input. I believe I know the identity of the Piper, although I never had the pleasure of meeting him.

More like illiteracy.
This would depend on the age of the child.
Lousy parenting does also come to mind.
My Ma used to introduce me to each object, with a full description of how to use it and how dangerous it could be, as i became curious about it.
But She had had an older Brother to watch grow up!

Interesting. Maybe I’ll stick with the little travel boxes then, if these have explosion tendencies.

Since the Castle, the courtyard and the pastureland sound infinitely preferable to Chicago, I’ll be stepping out of my room to explore. Thank you for your thoughtful reply!

explosion tendencies.
Not talking 'Mills bomb' Here...
Just, Pthhhhupp, ugh yuck! :) LOL.

Best part, if they did any work on teh pipes or at teh water plant, it would produce volumes of air in teh lines and rust colored hissing spitting water from teh faucets.
Even better, if they didn’t inform us of it.
Better still, if we call the maintenance manager he’ll either blow it off, or act like the world is ending.

Yeah, he's used to being at the bottom rung of the complaint ladder.

When I see them sitting at the kitchen table, with their laptops and textbooks, studying hard ... I honestly don't know where they got that.

Maybe I provided a good bad example.

Such a source of joy—a great blessing!

A thoroughly traumatized and crushed spirit, to be molded into whatever form the higher ups desire.
For good or evil.

You’ve been Darks’ houseguest, haven’t you?

My daughters are studying Chemistry.

I’m not the only one to note that appliances gang up on you if they congregate together.

"I was amazed and excited, but calm enough to realize that you have touched on something similar on getting the Flying Castle airborne."

I realized, when we were sitting on Loch Ness, that to go into space would require a really special effort.

As you'll recall, the first step was acquiring the Thrust Ring. (Thanks, Norway!)

That would be needed to equalize the forces as three, count them, three Habitats were lifted into orbit so that they could rotate for artificial gravity.

All the rest followed: In a closed environment, we couldn't run internal combustion engines for tractors and delivery vehicles. Thus was born the modified transportation system of spherical elevator cars and tubular connections.

And the energy requirements for launch dictated nuclear rockets, so the first thing to do was to gather the necessary U-know-what!

As I said, it all follows from the first visions. Does anyone remember whose bright idea it was to go into space in the first place?

“Does anyone remember whose bright idea it was to go into space in the first place?”

Not It!

Fine, thank you. Have been paying bills and recording expenses, but it’s much less onerous when you have the desk situated by the morning-room window and can see the neighbor’s pond. Two red cats are reclining on the desk and haven’t used the keyboard yet, and the dog is lying under the desk. So peaceful. Mr. Sg made pepperoni pizza this morning—warm pizza for breakfast is even better than cold pizza—and he used the tomato sauce we preserved from last year’s garden. This year, we plan to attempt raising three types of Roma tomatoes from seed, and one type of sandwich tomato. He also planted several varieties of sweet and hot peppers, and herbs and set them in a greenhouse we purchased while we were both still working but never erected until we moved from the desert to the forest. Do you regret inquiring lol?
