I just spent alot of time posting!
I see that, looks like you hit a small bump.
Pictured: Small Bump
What happened?
Well, someone set up us the bomb?
I'm serious!
Oh, well.. looks like your post got pulled.
Augh! I spent alot of effort on that! How did it happen?!
Couldn't be because you were doing it wrong?
What the, how'd you get that video of m-- uh.. I don't even wear that!
Right Skippy. *cough* Well, since you asked, here's how posts get removed.
First, if it is against TOS it gets seen.
Then it gets marked.
Okay, I have that much.
Then the mods gather:
Pictured, mods gathering.
I don't think that's how it looks, I..
Look, do you want an answer or not?
...Yes?
Right, carrying on.
Then they back their vehicle up to your post.
Whoah! What the heck is that thing?!
It's a machine, that eats other machines.
With this:
I don't see what this has to do with my post vanishing, can you tell me wha-
Watch it question boy! I have a flamethrower!
You want to vanish like your dog did?
What the?! No, not Roozer too!
To be fair, your dog WAS drunk.
What?! Who would even... please don't point that flamethrower at me.
Right, and after they saw your post off the entire forum, they set it on fire.
Wait.. that man. His face, and fire! Oh GOD WHY?!
Oh, HIS post was all about his face, so the mods set it on fire.
After that, they used the ashes to open a gate between our world and theirs, like this:
BLECH! That's horrible!
And those tentacles! GAAAH!
If you think that's bad, you should see what happens when the mods get their hands on a bad thread.

Oh look, here comes a mod now.
Looks like they want to ask you about that thread you just posted.
Gaaah! Tell them I'm indisposed!
Pictured: Moderator, dunno which one.
Tell them yourself, they're right behind you.
Wait, don't run away!
We haven't gotten to what happens when they edit your thread title!
This concludes our sordid fictional tale.
If you liked that, we have plenty more in the book "Oh the horrible things you'll summon!" rumored to be written by IamnotaMod
We live in a little ranch-type house so we decided not to get an elevator. I was wondering about reliable brand names, actually. You worked with elevators? When I was in my early 20’s, my little family had a vacation in the mountains and we ate with a gentleman who worked for Otis elevators. After that, I’ve always taken the stairs.
You have a great attitude!
Isn’t Detroit slowly but inexorably turning into dust and drifting off on the wind?
Prophylactic prayers up.
Great! Thank you, sweet lady.
That’s always my first thought. “Keep the freezer running!!!”
Also, the HVAC is important, especially the “heating” part in the winter here in the north where it can get really cold.
I hope you are having a good afternoon!
US Airlines have no interest in things like a middle point being between two end points when creating flight schedules.
It’s better now that I’ve unmolded my latest batch of soap. [smiles]
Plotting and planning my next batch now.
In all seriesness, it probably was his fault...
Ask him what happens to regular mechanical watches when he wears them...
ah, only wanted to bring the info onto / into a look around. If Darks did do it ... would actually be okay with it having been him. I am having trouble thinking it was Darks. May have been bleed-off from another cyber attack and Darks was not the one. Therefore, my apology Darks for thinking mouse going crazy was caused by you.
From the 'we don't need no steenkin logic' dept... ;-)
Mrs. NoC flew from our local airport (which once was an Air Force base) to Florida to visit her mother (before she died) and sister. Last I checked, Florida is like South of here and if you're driving it you take I-95 South...
Delta Air instead chose to fly her 600 miles West first (to Cincinnati) before getting her to Atlanta before getting her to Tallahassee...
It's too late. They're already there...
‘Face says she’s on the plane to depart Detroit for L.V., as scheduled.
As soon as either DP or Bill arrives home, Pat and I are going to take supper to a sick parishioner. I think pizza will be the meal at home, unless Bill has eaten all that was in the freezer!
My leave got approved pending a major natural disaster. I’ll be driving down either into the night on the 31st or in the daytime on the 1st, depending on how I feel about it.
Now I need to talk someone into dogsitting for a week and a half.
That’s exactly what I thought of.
Thank you for being you!
Selecting a generator depends on several very important factors:
What will you need to power? (Well pump, furnace, refrigerator, and freezer? And/or medical equipment?)
What will be the fuel source?
How will the generator start?
For really minimal needs, for example, if you’re on town water and gas heat, you might be able to get by with just enough emergency power to light a few lights and operate your entertainment, (TV and computer).
For more serious needs, you might be able to get by with a pull-start generator, and alternately plug in those things that need to be powered, when they need to be powered. That is, run the well pump, then the furnace, then the freezer, et cetera).
For the most convenience and security, get a reliable fuel source, and have the generator start automatically when the power fails. Use an automatic transfer switch to provide power to the essential equipment.
The ideal situation is having natural gas supplied to your house. That can be your fuel source. Since it is usually also your fuel for the stove, and the furnace, your electricity needs are reduced.
To assess how big a generator you must have, add up all the appliances that you will have running at the same time in an emergency. Size the generator according to your needs, your cost tolerance, and how much work you are willing to do balancing and shifting things around.
