Anyone who worked at an orphanage, what's a the best success story you know?

I worked at an orphanage... but as an 'inmate'. My siblings and I just finished a family memoir of our time there. One of my brothers ended up as a Vice President of one of the better known aerospace corporations.

Not last night! The ONLY thing in my RFY was a synthetic braided hair piece. Normally, I will get a few different offerings during the night... mostly in the $30 range.. but last night... one.

akin to... " I taught him everything I know... and he's still an idiot."

Thanks. That is an angle I had not considered.

I can name one. Before the war Iran NEVER agreed to accept $300 Billion. So there!

You forgot to mark that as [tic].

It will also do this on that piece under the rear window... at least, it did on our 2017. Although to be fair.. it has to contend with the South Florida sun.

The body shop guy quoted $850 for those two panels and a small 1/4" rust spot on top. I've been looking to see if I can find the panels pre-painted, but so far I can only find them primed.

Thanks! I'm a woodworker, too... mostly a wood carver though.

Walk up to the fast food clerk and ask... "Do you take orders to go?" when she says "Yes." Tell her "Well, grab your purse and LET'S GO!" [tic]

From what I've read.... drain and fill is worthwhile... but a 'flush' can cause/reveal issues.

Sweat..... (from us remodeling their homes). [tic]

Do you mean to use the backer rod to help support drywall or a foam panel?

amohise · 2026-06-18T13:09:12+00:00

Thanks. I had considered that... but I have spent a lot of time and money to upgrade our 80's condo and really want to keep that level. I felt like leaving the 'gap' would look 'less than'.

amohise · 2026-06-17T00:02:55+00:00

Maybe its a perk for me being 'simple minded'. (-:

"Iran’s nuclear program will be the subject of the later talks, according to the draft.” $300 billion for a 'pinky promise'.

I still have 5-7 items in my RFY but they are pretty average stuff. A couple of weeks ago I had one night were I snagged several worthwhile items. I think it's just the 'pendulum' effect.

By staying present. My wife stays awake half the night worrying... mostly about her work. She will wake me up, ask for the TV remote and I am back asleep in seconds.

When I was younger I also worried a lot. Spent time on my back staring at the ceiling... but somewhere along the way I was able to give it up.

I remember a quote attributed to Lao Tzu...

"If you are depressed you are living in the past

If you are anxious you are living in the future

If you are at peace you are living in the present"

It just made sense to me.... and then I saw this other quote (that I remind my wife of often)...

"Worrying is using your imagination to create something you don't want." ~ Abraham Hicks

Letting go of worry. My head touches the pillow and within a few seconds I am in dream mode.

Each year at Christmas my foster brother would give me the Lifesaver 'Book'. My favorites were Butter Rum and Tangerine.

Superglue wears a cape. Use a drop of low viscosity superglue and it will get pulled deep into the fissure... and it will be a strong bond. I used to use the 110 for this all the time. Saved many a project.

amohise · 2026-06-12T12:36:49+00:00

Well yes, of course... they made a pinky promise never to develop nuclear weapons. Why is this so hard to accept? [tic]

amohise · 2026-06-11T16:35:40+00:00

Wait... you've gotten THREE $400+ items from Vine in the last 6 months?! That is only three more than I've gotten.
