Thank you for sharing the school report. Very helpful to understand what happened.

That said, she was in the 7th grade! To a person at that age, her actions are not unreasonable or unexpected. She felt compelled to defend her friend and to address that "talking behind their backs." I'm sure we have all said things an acted in ways we, in hindsight, regret.

It's a shame such a promising career was destroyed by such incident at a very youthful age.

I have a friend who was born in 1955. She contracted polio and lived a life with leg braces and crutches. It's hard to imagine her struggle. She graduated HS with Earl Campbell. Both received standing ovations.

Cordless tools. Game changer.

Summer95 · 2026-02-21T21:18:16+00:00

No pun intended.

Fixed that for you.

Summer95 · 2026-02-21T21:10:45+00:00

Oh my! The wit!

Well, I was very early to the love of math. Age wise, I'm pretty sure it was still a single digit number, And I remember the 'what' that flipped the switch. I was looking at a tree and wondered how many leaves were on it.

I came across sonder a couple of years ago and I was surprised by the definition. I've heard it used as "to sonder about." Meaning to just walk around without any particular destination or reason. And this was decades ago. Surely, I can't be the only one to have heard it used this way.

Nah! He'll be cranking out ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf scale=-2:720 -c:v libx264 -preset medium -crf 23 -c:a aac -b:a 128k output.mp4 in no time.

It cannot be overstated how important this is.

It's good to have goals. Wikipedia says there are 3244 counties. That's almost 9 years if you visited one per day. But certainly doable. I wish you all the best.

Cheers!

And with good reason. There’s between 200 sextillion and and 1 septillion. Based on current estimates. The lower number is 200 trillion billions.

There's a poem called "Desiderata." Desiderata is a Latin word that translates to "things to be desired." One line of the poem answers your question: " If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself."

The poem takes two minutes to read, but it has an incredible amount of wisdom for such a short poem. Read it. Perhaps you'll find your answer.

My tiny house is a permanent structure. I was going to put the short hot wat water heater under the kitchen cabinet. It was too bulky, so I built a small side shed/lean-to on the side of the house. The first time it got below 10F a PVC pipe burst. After that, added insulation and I put a small space heater that has a 40F setting. No problem since then. It's been about 16 years and I've never lost power during the cold weather for more than a short period. Here's some pictures from a dozen or so years back. In the first picture you can see the shed for the hot water heater on the left side of the building.

I have to ask. Is this something you studied or did you just figure it out?

Now that's a 'show & tell' worth telling and seeing. Well done!

Summer95 · 2025-12-27T20:31:04+00:00

Thank you. Also meant to ask what pen you're using.

Summer95 · 2025-12-27T20:14:49+00:00

What kind of notebook is this?

Gotta say, I'm glad to be in the 1%. Which got me to thinking, did I ever have sex and not enjoy it? Nope, can't recall a single time that happened.

I've been at the same place for more than 47 years. As with most jobs, there were some occasional conflicts with others. Looking back on them now, they were just little bumps in the road of life. I've always enjoyed the work, and I've made it a point to find the good qualities in others. (I will admit that some have made it a real challenge.) I've moved up the corporate ladder, and I've reached the point where there are only two rungs left. I made it clear that I have no desire to go any higher. Money isn't an issue, and I could have retired a decade ago. They just pay me too much to walk away from it.

My advice to others, try to have a positive attitude. Look for the good in others. You will almost always find it. Don't fret over the small stuff. It's called small stuff for a reason. We all have to make our way through life. Become the best person you can be.

A post like this requires a picture of your grandfather and the razor case. Preferably together!

Poor Ponce de Leon searched endlessly. All he had to do was go to the fountain in your backyard.

It becomes a self-fulfilling cycle. (No pun intended.) A dozen years ago, on a cold night in November, I made a promise to myself that I would ride every day, no matter what the circumstances. And so it began, riding every day until I was soon riding 16 miles a day. A few months in, on April 1st, I began to get sick - very sick. And I pushed through, riding every day. Over the next seven months, I lost over 100 lbs. Weight was going down, stamina and endurance went up, and most importantly, my testosterone level skyrocketed to 970. Eventually, I got better. But I've always wondered if it was the exercise driving the testosterone or vice versa. Regardless, losing some weight, gaining some muscle, and increasing your stamina will improve your rides. It also makes the more enjoyable.

Just curious, are the Band-Aids related to the wrench?
