Wow. The only Greek I know is at a Greek restaurant.
Outta here for about an hour....
Pat started learning Greek when he was 4.
Good luck!
I say looking my age is better than looking older than I am.
I earned every gray hair and every wrinkle the hard way. Nobody’s taking them from me.
This thread has been going on quite a while. Let me say that I mourn the loss of my pets more than about 99.9% of people. So there.
Dark can’t make a good cup of coffee?
Back. Wet clothes in the bathroom, waiting to be hanged! I will give my back a little rest before I tackle the hanging.
Now all I have to do is wait for 0900 for Walmarf to open the pharmacy...
I remember that, and I thought he was very young to take such an interest in that!
But good for him! I’m always impressed with him.
My son did some research, based on the symptoms, and his diagnosis is: Either a fuel pressure regulator or a spark plug. I had a spark plug do this once before but it was because the distributor wire wasn’t tight. Burned the wire and I had to have the distributor replaced.
So at least the problem is being narrowed down. If I can just get my SiL here to actually LOOK at it, I’ll be good!
This one was all over. Chewing through the cord from my keyboard to my puter, shredding papers, climbing me like a tree (She had very sharp claws, I looked like a road map), hiding on shelves, etc.
ummmmm, define good...
I’ve been doing bits and pieces of church stuff here while young persons do some schoolwork and Kathleen sits on the toilet complaining (but not going ...).
James has heated himself a can of soup.
Just finished hanging up the clothes. It has taken my breath away, even with morphine. And I’m also shaky and sweaty.
And now, of course, I have two more loads to wash...sheets and towels. *sigh*
I will see how much I have left after I get the grocks I need and try to buy enough quarters to wash and dry these two loads. But that chore will have to wait until Monday, anyway.
One of the reasons I’m in so much pain is because I didn’t sleep last night. Hopefully, I will make up for it tonight.
And now, I’m going to take my sweaty achy self outside and let the wind dry me off, then I will head for Walmark.
Do you have a Papa Murphy’s pizza place near you?
Nope, never heard of it.
To understand it, one must experience it.

In 12 cup drip percolator pot, fill to 6 cup mark with water.
In filter, put 6 heaping scoops of coffee.
Medium roast works best, just make sure it’s a robust blend.
Found a maxwellhouse ‘medium roast’ that was rather anemic.
Put pinch of salt in filter, about as much as it would take to cover the surface of a dime with one even layer.
This keeps the coffee from tasting burned too quickly, it doesn’t age well brewed this way.
Brew, recirculate if need be, usually not.
Add sugar and dairy creamer.
Creamora and coffeemate are not recommended unless you like the heart racing that Ranger Pudding gives.
That, and the nondairy creamer will give you both a headache and a buzz with the coffee.
I usually put about 8 spoons of sugar in this stuff, it ends up being like Russian Kava, thick and sweet with that bitter overtone to it.
Oh, and I am NOT responsible for seeming demonic possession of the coffeepot, or the coffeepot ending up acting as if it has been damaged.
Be sure NOT to add creamora or coffeemate to the brew, unless you LIKE ranger pudding style heart racing.
When I brew that stuff for myself, I recirculate the stuff to brew a second time, but that’s me for my own personal enjoyment, and it may wreck the coffeepot.
Don’t forget the salt, it’s important to the finished brew.
Addendum: My coffeepot was wrecked, it burst the boiling element for “unknown” reasons.
Probably our lime water.
The fuel pressure reg seems more likely.
A spark plug, if only one, would just make it miss like a bucking bronco on three legs (it's a four cylinder. Three legs.. Sorry, bad yolk. ;-) If a general ignition problem such as bad coil or whatever that year Geo used (don't know if they were into the integrated electronica in 1992) you would think that it would also act up when it was cold, not exclusively when it was hot.
You really need someone to stick their head under the hood. But you knew that. My beam-me-up-Scottie-device hasn't worked for years, else I could just drop into your parking lot..
Depends on what the meaning of 'good' is..
That’s cute.
Kathleen went in her pants again. I am rather furious.
