Bungee cords. I prefer them over ratchet straps. Have you ever gotten a ratchet stap twisted in the ratchet? You might as well throw it away.

I’m confused, the heading carpet doesn’t match the text drapes.

Had a girlfriend one time who said “I would change my own oil, but I don’t know how to get the oil down that little tube.”

Bungee cords have their uses, but I wouldn’t want to use them to keep a motorcycle upright in a pickup or on a trailer.

“Nope. Commodities is the way to go now. Lead, brass, shoes, camping gear, seed, tools, dehydrated groceries....”

Hey, that stuff is expensive and can only be used in an emergency, right before someone kills you anyway. Still have to live in the meantime, and there’s always a chance our lives will end before the “Great Collapse of Everything”.

I’ve been waiting since 1965, when I first heard it was going to happen any day.

Ever used a ratchet tie-down to set the bead on a flat tire so that it would take air?

We are going to have a retirement crisis in which many people did not sock away enough money in their 401(k)s to fund a comfortable requirement. Social Security is only intended to fund maybe 40% of your retirement needs at best. You need to make up the rest with your personal savings towards retirement. And many are falling short.

The solution to this "crisis" will be obvious to politicians. Take from the people that DID save and give it to those that didn't. They'll figure out a way.

So the women should get a 50% match by men when they attempt to use ratchet tie-down straps?

She must have thought that a funnel was simply one of those sugary cakes you get at the carnival.

I’m in favor of a full match for those women.

disrespect?

Do you have any idea what God's Word reveals about the equal VALUE of husbands and wives but unequal ROLES between husbands and wives?

Do you have any clue about the fathomless disrespect the Women's Movement has promoted against husbands by their wives causing the unparalleled skyrocketing divorce rate?

Have you no clue what God's Word says to women and wives regarding their husbands that they are to regard them "even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord" (1 Peter 3:6).

How many wives do you know obey their husbands regarding them as lord? No today they are trained to compete for with their husband for rule in the house and are cut adrift, lost, dazed, and confused..

As far as skill goes, God made women naturally skillful in the raising of children, loving their husbands and making the home. And they are well skilled and happiest in doing so becsue that is how God made them.

You have apparently bought into the sad Women's Movement doctrine that confuses intrinsic VALUE with ROLE and promotes the age-old lie that performance equals value. The TRUTH is that man and women are of equal VALUE but of unequal ROLE, as it is written,

Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
1 Tim 2:11-15.

That pic would probably be used by the MSM when reporting on airliners being a big cause of air pollution:

Imagine the news team writer types in the search engine: “images of dirty aircraft”, and not knowing any better, picks out one of many shown with gear down, and wing flaps and leading edge slats extended.

As in Nurse Ratchet?

I don’t remember the book that well.

This post does invite other sorts of comments, but I will pass.
