Must have missed that mini drama. Crawled away? What did happen to the undead mouse?
Whine away, that's what we're here for.
I know what you mean, of course. I still feel like I have no friends, though there are some people who may become friends, and I've had live with that for a while. The Hobbit Hole helps, a lot. But not with the Someone aspect.
I'm down one pawnshop story from last year.
One of the guys disposed of it.
"So...did someone throw out the mouse or did it crawl away?"
Duhhhhhh.
"I'm not dead yet", the mouse muttered as it crawled away...
I had in mind the dead mouse skit.
Oh, I don't remember that one.
The one where he returns the dead parrot to the pet shop.
Ah, ok.
Evening G'nad; sounds like a nice place, with the Hopewell sites he's got a place that's Highway improvement proof. Good to have a couple burial sites (read that Native American) on your land, Highway departments avoid them.
Hmmmm, white lightin'; ya know, weren't that many years ago, corn production was measured in gallons per acre. :-)
Evening Corin - LSA says you could probably save time with a starter from a lawn and garden center, but with the internet, there's probably a site that will give a home made one.
We mixed up grass clippings with the dried leaves and such; worked pretty good, keep it moist, turn it daily with a garden fork. The center can get pretty warm when it's cooking, just keep it damp, not soaking. Seems to work better the second year.
Evenin Mr. Bear and everybody... :-)
I thank you.
Where is that exactly?
Kitchen.
I've lived here since March 2000. I've been looking at the building, downstairs and in the other apartments (when they were vacant and under repair) and have concluded:
The building was built in 1914, according to a brick in the facade. The downstairs housed at least one, probably two retail establishments with large display windows and a door into each one (or each side, if it was only one store). A door between the shop doors led to a suite of eight offices or flats; I'm inclined to believe they were offices because at least two of the doors have large glass upper panels, and for other reasons.
The wallpaper and kitchen cabinet design lead me to believe the division of the upstairs into four apartments took place in the 1930s or '40s. Periodic updates (my kitchen appliances are about 30 years old, my bathroom perhaps 10; the electrical system was last updated in late 2001) have kept the building one step ahead of the building code :)
I'm almost sorry at the prospect of leaving it, now that my cousin and I are almost certain to share a big 2 BR south of town. Even my Mom, who at first had nothing good to say about the place, has lately praised it for its size, layout and even the neighborhood, only complaining about the fact that the downstairs is a bar (actually, an American Legion post).
Thanks! Ping to 4015.
Doubtless. Indoor ranges are getting common too. One just opened here, in fact...people use it for everything from CCW training to making sure their hunting rifles and scopes are properly aligned.
g'nad may know some resources for finding sanctioned shootin' spots around the country.
Hey there folks!
Bear - what is this "Lost" show about?
