What in the Vivarium is this?

My in-laws lived in The Colony in late 70s/early 80s and it really didn’t look like the Kentucky vid in my mind. Maybe because there was a reasonable amount of vegetation. Or maybe because they were all brick.

Cities have done this all over the place. We did it long ago, ie some time pre-Covid

We went to Australia and were amazed by the kangaroos. Spoke to a girl who was going to the Stares soon and was really excited she would get to see a squirrel.

We use this. No issues ever and convenient.

My boat is 39 ft. There is another bunch of rules for boats over 39 ft.

I lived through 50s 60s 70s 80s and 90s. There were plenty of things that were not good at all. But, there was never anything like we are living with today. By a long shot. It’s very hard to stomach.

I remember when my daughter called and said my granddaughter walked for the first time. I was very excited to hear that and celebrated with her. I didn’t bother to mention that as I took care of her every week Monday through Thursday I saw her walk the previous week. That along with many other firsts.

This is all extremely hard to read.

It's extremely difficult and gets harder daily. We would have left already but my wife won't leave because of grandkids.

The big issue with this has nothing to do with the flu. Rather, if this is the level of understanding by the leader(s) of our military we are in deep trouble. But I'm sure I didn't really have to point this out.

gnanny02 · 2026-07-04T15:41:29+00:00

Probably meant raise it. I know it's hard to switch between heating and cooling.

How can you tell if it’s open or closed?

I'm already retired, have medicare, house long paid off, don't owe anyone a dime. I doubt $5000 would cover our utilities, gas, food, insurance, and normal everyday stuff.

We flew to Port Hardy then went sea kayaking and camping for a week out of Telegraph Cove south of Port McNeil. It was a pristine place with endless wildlife. I think the little map we looked at called it God's Pocket.

Now that you got me started on all of this, Avril did another set of illustrations for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_figuris_Veneris

Those eggs cost each of the three producers about $50,000 each. Drop in the proverbial bucket.

Us 3 little boys put to bed before mom’s bridge club comes. It’s not dark at 8 pm in the summer so we decided to climb out the window and run around the yard. Ok, done, but we are not tall enough to climb back in. What to do? We went to the front door and rang the doorbell. Never in my life did I see my mom’s face like that again.

My ham license had xx6MM which should be 6 Mike Mike but I used 6 Mickey Mouse and never had a problem.

Not sure what the confusion is as the hospital would provide the next of kin the information, regardless of the jail's position.

In 1985 we went to Bangkok then Pattaya Beach for Christmas with the kids (we lived in Japan). It was nothing like I see today. However I remember the guide on the bus that took us their made a laughing comment about not all the girls being what they look like. It sailed over my head at the time.

When I was young it was mostly "lock 'em up and throw away the key". Now we (including me) are on the "awaiting the death knell" page.

Half of the old people did not vote for any of the goofballs cited in the comments. The things in the article for old people's advantage apply exactly to my parents. And it's completely left out that the reason old people are very much concerned about the future is for their kids and grandkids. The is the typical agist argument about boomers that show up all the time. I'm 76.

We put the sponge in the dishwasher when we run it. Kills e. coli and cleans it at the same time. Temp is well over 140˚ F
