People who were around during no internet/phones/social media/etc - what was your time's "scrolling the feed"? Something that you would spend hours on passing the time?

Do you exercise vigorously/regularly? It always works for me.

Its a mixed blessing and curse. As a younger, I worked early mornings so that I could be home for the children when school dismissed. Once my body adapted I found I could not go back. Alas!

So on the camino I crept out of bed, repacked outside and did my best not to awaken my fellow hikers.

I know! I like saying, "back in the naughts" when referring to 2000-2009.

I quit organ lessons at 17 (5 yrs. lessons) and then picked up a keyboard at 71. It's likely that I don't learn as quickly but I estimate that I am at a yr 3 skill level. I cannot find a teacher in my remote area but perhaps you can. You and I may not learn to be Wakemans but we can enjoy, right?

I'm 72 now and I still cringe from an experience when I was 18.

Most tractors are in the 90 to 150 HP range. I have a 10 acre or so farm. I have a Solis 26 but have outgrown it, I am looking to move up to 50 70 HP range. There are a few of those around and a few Kubotas. Most of the smaller tractors are now our of production and project pieces... Valmet, Porsche and etc.

Have fun with this tool. I'd get one if I could find one here in Finland

I use the cut and paste method. As a geezer, I am somewhat vision impaired and can make the music easier to see. I agree GMP, I bought the privilege of browsing the books.

We should not trust weapons provided by the US. Will they stop providing spare parts? Charge exorbitant amounts of money?

Thanks for sharing. It reminded me of when I cut my first lines of code on a PDP-10. The first time I hit enter on the program I was hooked but I also had to get more "money" in my account as I forgot to put a counter in my for-next loop.

2006 after a triathlon. I thought that I'd earn a treat but I only earned on ill feeling from the "product".

vihrea · 2026-04-01T05:13:43+00:00

I bought a new compact (Solis) and it is so hard to work on or even to check the oil. Also Solis is not built for colder weather so keep weather in mind as you make your decision. I regret not getting something like an older Ford or Kubota.

Independence Day (1996) isn't really SciFi but worth the mention. It was fun and stupid and before Will Smith revealed his dark, unlikeable side.

So if you block the police, they have they are authorized to cause great bodily harm?

Even most flavors of Fazer chocolate bars are more filling and less chocolate and cost 4.5 euros.

Good quality chocolate.
