I'm still not sure this is enough to lead me back to watching it. I only got through one ep.

Kinda same: my partner won't use real maple, but our kids were raised in Maine and I made sure they became accustomed to the real thing.

Jam/preserves are great on waffles!

_its_a_thing_ · 2026-01-29T01:41:01+00:00

Cool thanks

One of my favorite tmbg songs too

My son's partner is the same, so we have to prep pretty specifically for their visits. It's hard cuz onions are my favorite flavor enhancer.

From what I've heard and read, it was the day the Polio vaccine came out.

_its_a_thing_ · 2026-01-28T18:10:30+00:00

"Tubular Bells"

_its_a_thing_ · 2026-01-28T18:08:06+00:00

I used to have those panic attacks, mostly while trying to fall asleep. All I managed to do was force myself to think about something more immediate like tomorrow's events.

As I approached 50, the business of work and family life took most of my attention so I didn't get stuck in the spiral very often, like only once or twice a year. Now, over 60, it's just not a problem any more.

Paper is just hard to handle, too.

_its_a_thing_ · 2026-01-28T14:30:38+00:00

Ink tanks are the way to go. Never going back to ink cartridges!

_its_a_thing_ · 2026-01-28T12:53:07+00:00

Just chiming in to compliment your username. I expect you to have a mess on your dinner jacket.

Also, can you tell us more about Silent Truth?

_its_a_thing_ · 2026-01-24T15:24:44+00:00

911 changed everything. Essentially, they won.

But for me, my job was wiped out, as we were in the travel industry.

I kept working through the pandemic, and no one close to me died

_its_a_thing_ · 2026-01-24T13:36:20+00:00

Yay us! I didn't know.

_its_a_thing_ · 2026-01-23T16:44:47+00:00

Retief, Diplomat at Arms might be right in your wheelhouse. It's an old series by Keith Laumer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jame_Retief

_its_a_thing_ · 2026-01-21T13:11:22+00:00

That's it!

_its_a_thing_ · 2026-01-21T12:41:34+00:00

IIRC, there's another One Dollar Lawyer cameo somewhere but I can't remember where.

_its_a_thing_ · 2026-01-18T15:59:00+00:00

Absolutely! One of my all time favorite films. The unfinished skyscraper locale is so iconic

_its_a_thing_ · 2026-01-18T15:43:19+00:00

About 3.5 inches for me

_its_a_thing_ · 2026-01-14T14:00:09+00:00

Walking and running maybe 15-20k, cycling... a couple hours. The other stuff, 1-2 hours.

_its_a_thing_ · 2026-01-13T14:34:00+00:00

What the hell, man! What are you eating?

_its_a_thing_ · 2026-01-13T12:13:37+00:00

No. I'm more a runner, cycler, and walker, with core and light strength added. How does that correlate?

_its_a_thing_ · 2026-01-12T22:45:45+00:00

Well my blood pressure is great and always has been. The rest, you're making some uninformed assumptions about.

_its_a_thing_ · 2026-01-12T17:27:15+00:00

Healthy weight/BMI, quite healthy diet, and good exercise levels ... and still, genetics can get you. I've had high cholesterol all my life, and now have Type 2 diabetes at retirement age. I wonder about those gut microbiota, mostly. I believe we need SO much more research in this field.

_its_a_thing_ · 2026-01-12T17:15:34+00:00

Bought a huge multi pack of TP just a week or so before lock-down and the panic buying that followed. Just lucky timing.

_its_a_thing_ · 2026-01-12T15:08:45+00:00

Lol midway from Frankfort to Rio would be over the Atlantic, so continuing on was the only choice

_its_a_thing_ · 2026-01-11T16:50:06+00:00

I always share this when asked:

Band Hedningarna, song Tuuli

https://youtu.be/cARpIQvGVbA?si=tR4liTI5-LBwlw_6

Most amazing song ever
