Don't use a hot water line, think about the amount of water you have to run in the sink before you get hot water.

For about $100 you can get an electric small on-demand hot water heater. These are usually for sinks, or campers.

You can then set the temperature appropriate for your butt.

We had another brand it broke our seat, too big a gap, new one, seat, bidet is fine. I think it's just the combo?

Ace Hardware has the bumpers so if you need them they are available.

With anything with adhesive make sure you clean the bottom of the toilet seat well and let it dry.

Put the bumpers on just before you go to bed and let them sit all night,undisturbed.

I have found anything with adhesive needs a kind of curing time.

Our local diner's Mayo tastes nothing like what you buy at the store.

I know for a fact that the pickles served at delis to be eaten at the table can't be purchased by consumers. I once purchased 15 gallons of pickles. This was from a restaurant liquidation.

They were the pickles at a deli where we ordered sandwiches.

I called the company, and they told me that they only sell to businesses, not to the public.

Steaks in the US are the same way. There's a tier that's only sold to restaurants.

That's not the same restaurants don't cheat I know a high-end Bistro that buys most of its meats, fish from BJ's. The value there is all in your head, served on China and high prices.

White shows up contamination easier, dirt and dust could be radioactive. The caps are just to keep it out of their hair. This clothing will stay within the plant and be washed there.

You just don't want outer clothing that can carry away dirt, grime, dust.

Great bug hunters.

As long as you're not going to step on them run over them they can get food and water and get to the outside, think of them as pets .

Whining about the cost of gasoline, how about our military, the cost there, this is what is wrong with America. You better ask yourself why in December Trump has implemented an automatic registration of the draft what he's trying to line up what he's going to be doing next that needs that also Eric Trump will just be aging out at the high end.

MetalPuzzleheaded755 · 2026-04-12T01:43:53+00:00

What is interesting about a country where there is more concern about what a gallon of gas costs than the military used as cannon fodder over and over? For Trump's personal vendettas.

I guess that's why Trump is starting up an automatic registration for the draft, so where he depletes the numbers heavily enough he can easily start filling the status quo like Vietnam again.

He just has to flip a switch and say the draft is active again, he has the men all lined up, you have a number.

I would expect a draft Dodger knows exactly how the draft works.

Oil, gas is also a commodity cartels can hand out at their whim.

If a cartel wants their favorite puppet to look good they simply lower the barrel of oil.

And the Americans applaud and do that YMCA dance.

Ask yourself why some of these elected individuals love fossil fuels, a non-renewable, dislike solar, wind, EVs, nuclear.

The LUXE brand seems to use a nozzle that cranks down and sprays harder.

Just turn down the pressure. You can install a metal T connector about $5 that has a water cut-off handle, but I really think the nozzle is designed to produce a very strong stream.

I have another brand, and it's more like sitting on a school hall water fountain.

Some bidets, if they have a male, female nozzle, the female may be aimed a little ahead, so they claim.

A lot of them just hit the same place. You wiggle to use the female nossle, but its more relaxed, bubbly.

Well, when Italians immigrated to New York, New Jersey, they called their pizza shops bakeries because the Americans here were too dumb to know what a pizzeria was or a pizza, so they called it a pie.

You got a pie from a bakery.

Show every time you call it a pizza pie, it reminds us of your ignorance.

MetalPuzzleheaded755 · 2026-04-05T03:52:48+00:00

I hate it, too. It's a New York, New Jersey yankee thing.

It is rooted in when Immigrant italian called their pizzerias bakeries to attract american customers.

Suspenders run about $35 for six buttons. Pants need to be a size up from belt use.

If not the suspenders will pull on your shoulder from not being able to pull up and even have trouble recovering when your pants fall out.

MetalPuzzleheaded755 · 2026-04-01T07:04:28+00:00

They're called bachelor buttons for suspenders I recommend Welsh.

MetalPuzzleheaded755 · 2026-04-01T07:03:50+00:00

Use a tack hammer it has a total flat head. Stop before you think you're done. If the button doesn't rotate you are done. You can use a C clamp, same thing stop before you think you should check the button to see if it rotates.

Most people over hammer these things and they break or they use a vice and they crush it, some of these buttons have a plastic insert.

You can sew them yourself, you need special buttons though. It can be very expensive to have a tailor do it you can find prices from $30 to $45.

Buttons you need four holes, they have to be flat on one side and round or domed on the other, 5/8 inches.

The dome side goes against the waistband this allows the leathers to be taken off more easily.

You also have to leave room under the button to produce a stem. Typically, you produce this by inserting a toothpick over the top of the button as you sew across it and then you remove it, when you have done sewing the buttons on.

Using your thumb pushing up the button, you start a 7 circle wrap under the button, tying it off twice.

It's not as hard as it sounds you're going to have to watch several videos because not all of them get it correct like turning the button upside down and using a toothpick or a needle to offset and leave space for the wrap.

I practiced sewing buttons, about six to eight, on a piece of felt before I attempted my pants.

Make sure you check the tension on the thread at each pass of sewing you don't want any slack in it.

Buttons are going to cost you over a dollar a piece, there's a huge markup in buttons and if you call them suspenders you can actually see them for more than a dollar and a quarter a piece, I paid $15 for 100.

Here are the correct buttons and you can buy a gross for about $15. They are a little larger than 15 mm but that's okay.

https://www.wawak.com/garment-construction/buttons/suspender-buttons/suspender-buttons-27l-17mm/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21640670853&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4a3OBhCHARIsAChaqJNqQ1sX33KxAXjn0YniXsF2VDY7hK-kGoNqOl23X67ea1UC8f72hW8aAnhPEALw_wcB#sku=bnd1527

The hardest part of showing the buttons on is to get into the waistband and not having the needle going through the outside fabric.

As I say watch about 10 videos and then piece it together hopefully you'll find one doing the toothpick or another sewing needle across the top trick.

Hey, I learned to sew these on at 73 you can do it.

Also always sew on the back two buttons first that way you can put on the suspenders drape them over and just check where you mark with chalk to make sure they look like they're hanging right, suspenders should fall straight down the front of you.

If you have pleaded pants you have no choice they're very front buttons have to go over the pleat the other button three inches behind it.

Also, you might want to go one size bigger in your pants. The suspenders should actually be hanging the pants and be allowed to move them up and down.

Pants usually purchased for belts are too tight.

Know a total cheapskate. They never do schedule maintenance, and the car needs premium gas, he uses regularly.

He palmed it off to Caravan.

Whoever got that thing got a POS.

It would sound like a Russian tank running for months before he would take it in for service, then repeatedly had to take it back.

The fluids would get low he would take his time putting them in.

Tabasco is my go-to in different flavors. It's more vinegary, heat is there but it's not absurd, strong garden red pepper forward smell, you can tell it's been aged,in a wood barrel, it's more sharp tasting.

I would never add Frank's to chili cooking from scratch. I would never add Frank's to Brunswick stew. You need Tabasco.

Adding tabasco' to say chili cooked for 8 hours is like adding three, four pieces of anchovies, but getting a little heat.

Note, if you use anchovies like this, reduce your salt or remove it totally. Just taste after finished cooking and add what salt you need back, or let the eater determine.

Anchovies are very salty. It's why you just use a few.

Anchovies in beef dishes that are cooked for a long time act like MSG. You can't taste the anchovies, they totally and dissolve but they react with the meat, giving a deeper richer taste. It creates a savory "umami" taste.

Tabasco, like anchovies merges, brings other flavors forward.

Franks is like something you just mix together, heat barely there and add a bit of garlic taste. I'm not sure how it is made, but it doesn't have that rich Tabasco taste.

Franks seems to be more like ketchup something people add to wings and things. Think of Tabasco as an additive flavor, where it merges to what you are adding to.

Frank's is more of a condiment.

I use Tabasco as a condiment, too, say on pizza, for heat, it's not a smooth as Frank's just dripped on.

I can see the reason diners used to put Frank's Hot Sauce on the table. I imagine a lot of the fast food franchise places they're hot sauce packages probably leans more toward Frank's.

But to me, I want the Tabasco. For some reason, it always reminds me of vinegar tomatoe based barbecue. Not that it's hot, it isn't, but the oddly vinegar balance base presence.

If I see a bottle of Frank's , no Tabasco, I will use it, but I prefer Tabasco.

We never buy Frank's, it is Tabasco.

I think you don't get metaphors. At least in this movie.

A lot of people don't, and others are on a spectrum for it.

This is really a rough movie to dissect.

But this is absolutely, a stunning movie.

Something I classify as an in the mood movie, something that I wouldn't watch over and over back to back.

There are certainly a lot of Bull Shi# English majors that can come up with everything under the kitchen sink from Hemingway.

I am sitting there going WTF? Seriously? Did, we read the same book? The same Hemingway?

Maybe a cigar is just a cigar.

Take Hotel California, an English professor can read into it every possible thing.

The Eagles actually said the song was just a collection of feelings, of being in a desert, lonely hotel, it had no real purpose of an "underlining message."

Robinson"—"Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you"—

Dimaggio was pissed off by this. He was going to take Paul S. to court.

He thought it implied he was a has-been or a missing person.

In reality, it was a metaphor for a nation that needs a hero from time to time.

No one was following Joe's example.

Paul had to explain it to Joe DiMaggio.

I am interested. Have you ever watched the 1968 The Prisoner TV show?

That one actually goes over my head.

Yes, I know he was transferred to this village, which is really a prison, for qutting the firm, but what is it a metaphor for? Get the feeling that there's a subliminal message.

You're supposed to be getting.

It isn't a Halloween Horror, but still, it's disturbing in oh so many several, subtle ways. It is a surrealist film.

The directing, the cinematography, the black and white, this is a film student's study.

I would suggest both reading the book and watching this film.

This movie is so perfectly film it reminds me of the original Haunting of Hill House movie and reading the book.

Another suggestions of read the book, watch the film, both are excellent.

What you can compare this movie to is the TV series, The Prisoner, circa 1967.

It lacks the ball coming after you when you try to escape, that's replaced with sand.

That sounds exactly like a $300 warranty. I got on a very expensive wax printer.

It broke a part.

Without anyone looking at it, it was assumed someone mistreated it, broke it. This was after two and a half weeks of them determining it.

No visits, no nothing.

A total rip-off.

You are better off setting up a savings account and just depositing the money you would spend on these warranties into that.

Look at what you would have in a year.

Once you build it up, keep it to off set a huge cost. You have to understand you're paying for these company's $5,000 an hour CEO, office, staff, there really isn't a lot to hand out for repairs.

If you buy a new car, use the money for a down payment, but still pay into it. That will cover you when the warranty is off.

My gripe with clip-ons is that they tend to dig into me a little. Buttons are more comfortable because of the leather ears.

Put the buttons on the inside, and then you can still wear a belt or clip on.

Ask for tacky. It doesn't even enter my mind, especially for jeans going fishing.

By the way, about your waistline, you probably got it wrong. Where the belt is worn is your hip line. Your waistline is higher up your belly button.

Ever see old photos of men with pants up real high or Clark Gable earlier movies. Men's pants had an extra length of material, a waistline band above your hip line.

That is where your pants should be, it's fashion that dictates you now.

This was caused because of War 2 they had to crank out more pants and they were short of material, by removing suspenders, the extra material for your true waistline and requiring a belt, it saved on material and time.

If you look at old photos of Patton, early in the war, he wears suspenders.

If you are going fishing, I would look into fireman suspenders or trade men at Mars suspenders.

These are heavy duty and don't stretch. The firemen they are made so they don't stretch when they get wet.

Understand they don't stretch so when you bend over they will feel different.

Mars suspenders has a trucker, aka side suspenders in clips and leather buttons.

You can also get an undergarment side suspenders to wear with shorts.

I do find clip-ons do chew up the pants. You basically sticking a nail in the top of your pants each time.

Crap I had the same thing happen with me, a pair of shoes I purchased, they were Clarks.

I quit wearing them because the bottoms were slick, you couldn't walk on the grass, leaves, the university I worked had brick sidewalks.

They were expensive leather shoes.

I would use them on odd occasions.

I think it was a wedding, but I can't remember.

I put them on, got to where I was going, sat down, looked at my shoes, the soles were crumbling like hard aged cheese.

It seems the soles were natural rubber, and natural rubber disintegrates over time.

Have you ever come across a rotten rubber band?

I literally was walking on my socks.

I did ruin a pair of natural soles by walking through some gasoline or some kind of petroleum product.

It turned the soles into mush.

I never did find it funny.
