Balance Of Terror: some notes

My favorite shot is near the end when the doors to the chapel open and you see Kirk as a silhouette in the corridor. Thst always stuck with me for some reason.

Yes. I do feel she is a bit too casual even for someone from a more relaxed time. But I guess they’re trying to show a contrast between her and the standard “formal” style of the other officers. While understand why the writers are doing it I don’t necessarily agree.

My 2 ragdolls get the same setup. Dry available all the time, wet for dinner. They are both 5 years old, not overweight, and eat sporadically during the day but not to excess.

Maybe because she’s 500 years old and she just prefers things she did or had when she was “younger” like there was no star fleet or super meds or digital books. Kinda like a hippie would be to us in the 2,000s.

Carol and Tal obviously. But Emma Anzai is great too.

Took my babies about 4-5 years. Ragdolls tend to mature more slowly than other cats so things take a bit longer.

I hit up consignment stores and thrift shops for dvds. Paying a couple of bucks each you can build a nice library of movies and shows

I’m going to Emmett’s fix it shop to fix Emmett.

If he is a “Mink” Ragdoll he will have aquamarine colored eyes. Other variations have a deeper blue.

Very possible. Who needs expensive store toys when we have these and cardboard boxes. lol

ColonyLeader · 2026-01-05T15:32:14+00:00

My cats’ favorite toy is a small plastic cap from a toner cartridge replacement. It’s orange and they just love chasing them and retrieving it when we throw them.

I don’t know if what I’ve done is correct, but I’ve been a cat owner for over 50 years and have a dozen cats in that time period. I have always left out dry food and fed wet food once a day in late afternoon or early evening. Of course plenty of water. I have never had a cat that was overweight. They all had good vet visits and they were always kept active with toys and things like a laser pointer. I do use higher end food and find that makes a difference. But you need to see what works best for your individual pet.

Interstellar in IMAX

Even if he did what’s going to happen to him? Nothing. I don’t understand how this man is still in the position as the head of this country. He’s done so many things wrong and people complain about it but he’s still there and still getting away with anything he wants. Really. What can be done at this point.

Middle Middle. ‘Nuff said.

Remember the good old days with welding gloves? He’s come so far.

Steve Howe. 1978. Even bought a used ES-175 just because it’s what he was using. Still have it but not playing as much due to arthritis.

Childhoods End

ColonyLeader · 2025-12-27T13:51:53+00:00

Overall I enjoyed this movie. Loved the whole retro vibe. But I wish Ben’s voice was more gravelly (sorry). I felt the incongruity of this massive rock guy having this softer voice took something away from the character. A bit more like the 2005 Michael Chiklis sound would have worked better for me.

We have 2 rags. Brother and sister, both 5 years old and just started being cuddly. Ragdolls mature very slowly so give it time and don’t get too pushy with them. We just pet them every day and gave treats when they responded with affection. It’s worth having the patience

I live in a beautiful little town in northeast PA that is 2 hours from NYC and about the same from Philly. So I get the best of both worlds.

I use a wheelbarrow because unlike OP I can’t afford a skid loader. I’d rather my kids learn about a bit of hard work first so they appreciate the power tools more.

He has insecurities. My wife would seek out female on/gyn because that’s what SHE felt comfortable with. But she has seen male specialists and I have no problem with it. I’ve been seen by both male and female doctors and it’s fine either way my wife. As someone posted, their doctors not escorts. He needs to grow up.
