    Saturday was not a good day. I blame it all on persimmons. A friend stopped by and gave me 4 pounds of ripe wild persimmons. There must have been over a hundred of them, and they don't keep. I either had to make something that uses a lot of them, or freeze them. My first mistake was...

    Speaking of flowcharts, I've run into an obstacle. The worst thing that can happen from my point of view is these shutters arrive damaged. I can't stand the hassle of returning anything that large. I chose this company because the shutters are assembled in the USA. Home Depot shutters, for...

    You mean put plantation shutters on the bird house? .Hey, that's not a bad idea. . I'll go make a flowchart. :rolleyes:

    I want to replace the curtains on the two windows in the bedroom upstairs with plantation shutters. I like the neat square lines of shutters. They are relatively easy to dust compared to mini-blinds, and can almost completely black out early morning sunlight at a flick of a rod. I spent the...

    Who did you last speak to ?

    Two young girls who just moved in next door. They came by to introduce themselves and warn me they were going to host a birthday party Saturday night.

    I don't care for it either, unless there is a pretty pattern, like in my living room. The ones upstairs just hide some cracks or seams, :unsure: but not very well. Both braid rugs are now gone from upstairs. :) I thought this would be a much bigger job. They are 8' x 11' and fill the rooms...

    I had 4 ceiling fans in this house at one time and got rid of all but one, when I was more ambitious. One more to go. I don't like them. They cause dust to cling to the stippled plaster in the ceiling. There was a lot more dust in the single filter fan contraption than I thought. I put some...

    Yes, I made one like that this morning. The fan has been running on high all day. If it helps, I'll make a smaller one when the filters need to be changed. It takes up too much space. If that works, I'll make one that is easier to change the filters. There is a triangle version also.

    I'm again on a mission to reduce the amount of dust flying around the house upstairs. It's not a problem downstairs. The house I grew up in was one story ranch style. Before I started 1st grade, my father converted our furnace from coal to heating oil and installed hot water baseboard...

    Last January I got an email "reminder" of an appointment I never made. It was with a physical therapist (PT) at AOC, the orthopedic clinic where I was first referred to about this shoulder injury. That first appointment was 8 months earlier, at which the Dr. announced that he would not do any...

    The new speakers arrived yesterday. ❤️ They are bookshelf speakers, but they weigh 16 lbs each! If you adjust for inflation they cost less than half what the speakers I bought in 1973 cost and these are much better. I've never heard about 10% of the songs they play on this new radio station...

    What's bothering you right now?

    Nextdoor is bothering me. I enrolled in this group some time ago because I thought of giving away some items, too heavy to mail and too fragile or small to put on the curb. Recently it has been flooding my email with posts from this group. What's specifically bothering me is the type of...

    Social Security cards no longer proof of citizenship?

    If the SAVE America Act ever becomes law, technically a standard REAL ID (driver's license) will not automatically count as proof of U.S. citizenship. The bill specifies that a REAL ID is only acceptable if it explicitly indicates that the holder is a U.S. citizen, and most standard state-issued...

    Bird Watching

    If they are mature ruby throated hummingbirds, you will notice the difference clearly by the red throat. If they are plain greenish hue, they are either females or juvenile males/females. The mature males do migrate earlier, in late July or August, here. Females and young ones migrate in...

    Bird Watching

    Anticipating the beginning of winter migration south, I put out a hummingbird feeder a couple weeks ago. I think the males have already left now, likely partying on the beaches of Cancun, before the females get there. :rolleyes:

    When I first moved here, the Georgia PBS TV Station would sign off at midnight with Georgia on My Mind, by Ray Charles. I think it's the official state song. Can't believe someone posted it on YouTube.
