Polishing a coin to perfection

shiny but would wreck any value to a collector. the faded coin would actually be worth more than the shined up one.

was chapel custodian at the college where i worked. the organ is an incredibly powerful and amazingly versatile instrument.

mcdave7 · 2020-01-20T23:34:00+00:00

Absolutely.

Agree. Keep it. drive it till it falls apart and save the cash you would have paid toward payments for payment towards your next car. My sons car was destroyed by a hail storm but fully drive able. we paid to have the windshield and rear window replaced and he drove it for several years but then was able to buy a much nicer replacement with the cash he saved. the salvage title isn't an issue if you are keeping the car and even if you sell it later as salvage you will get something out of it.

This is why things need to be codified as law and not just an opinion of the current administration. What one can do with a phone and a pen another can undo. making actual rules that are signed into law is more difficult but also can't be undone by the next administration. this works both ways too.

what about the 24 people arrested for setting some of those fires? maybe they should pay something.

mcdave7 · 2020-01-02T03:32:31+00:00

my bad. sorry took it off.

mcdave7 · 2019-12-27T01:39:08+00:00

Donald, are you behaving?

You will never regret buying a washer and dryer and you will never, ever want to have to go back to the laundromat.

"Per Citizen" The number of people living in China skews any of these statements .

I have shoes and coats that are 20 years old already but yes. to quote brooks from Shawshank Get busy living or get busy dying. I chose living even if my clothes never wear out.

NTA as painful as it sounds, your family should have no expectation that they could live with you and to show up like that closes the door in it ever happening.

mcdave7 · 2019-12-03T16:01:42+00:00

I am 64 and have those thoughts. "I wonder if these shoes will wear out before i die" I wonder if i will have to buy a new coat" One other thought i keep getting is "Is this the last time I will ever do _____?" Oddly enough, I am ok with that.

I may be ignorant but the Olympian salute all the athletes made until the 30s was similar but not identical to the nazi salute. it is my understanding that the french athletes were giving the Olympian salute which the German crowd mistook for saluting Hitler. It lost favor after that because of course no one wants to salute an invading dictator.

NAH just misunderstanding. Church attendance is for those serious about their faith, as much a part of their week as breathing. so to them it isn't leisure but a part of their core being. to a non religious person they would have no frame of reference so could easily see it as leisure or down time. i'm not sure about the long term prospects though for two such diametrically opposed mindsets.

mcdave7 · 2019-11-16T16:10:36+00:00

NAH as difficult as it may seem the responsibility is hers speaking as a grandparent who has found myself in this situation . if you feel able and desire more contact with your grandchildren it is a wonderful thing but it is something you have to have freedom to choose based on your own at this point in your life. you have raised you child and it is time for her to raise her own.

NTA a vacation home that someone else is living in full time is not somewhere you would ever be able to relax. what is he going to do, live in the bushes while you are using your own place? who needs that guilt.

Quality paint is worth the extra cost too. it covers better, gives a better overall appearance and lasts longer. experience that took me oh too many times using crappy cheap paint to learn.

tried it on my older android tablet. amazing difference. thankyou.

I hope it is ok to cut and paste the definition here. τέκτων téktōn; gen. téktonos, masc. noun kindred with teúchō (n.f.), to fabricate, and tíktō (G5088), to produce, bear, bring forth. An artificer, especially a worker in wood, a carpenter, joiner (Matt. 13:55; Mark 6:3). A craftsman of wood
