Really, what I need is a male gay friend to go to dinner or fancy stuff where you should have a date. For a time between husbands, I 'dated' a gay guy. Mr GQ dresser, polite and gentlemanly as the day is long and, best part, *no* exceptions at the end of an evening. The dates were when I was lookin...

FWIW, the breed is the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel of CKCS for short ;) Some might refer to them as the King Charles Spaniel but fanciers of the breed may become incensed ;) They are cute dogs. Always an excellent resource for any pure-bred dog is their national breed club. In the US, that would b...

FWIW, and I don't know jurisdiction in your area... When livestock is loose (and that's what this horse is, livestock), LE should be informed.

I completely disagree. That’s why there are things like pepper spray, self defense classes (krav maga is fantastic), and police. Private citizens randomly shooting people they feel are threatening is a slippery slope that I don’t want to be on. Who gets to decide? Does a different color of skin or ...

Baristone shot his client. There is no justification for shooting someone. Except self defense, for one. To be clear, I'm not saying it was self defense because I wasn't there so don't know, but there are quite a few circumstances in which someone can get shot and there is at least some degree of j...

I don't trust the online community to be presenting facts here but you maybe right. It's so hard to follow what is conjecture and what is fact on social media and online reporting.

They just might. :) I have 2 Border Terriers and yeah, when they move on the floor, the lights turn on.

OP, just went back and re-read the original post. I would proceed with your plan but wanted to put on your mental 'radar screen' as it were is that things like area rugs are fall risks.

MC, a bit hard for me to compare as I've never spent anywhere near that for a house I've lived in. Having said that, I didn't think it was as bad as you seemed to imply.

It has 3 windows, but get afternoon sun. That means in the Winter, it's pretty dim in there. The white walls I have in there now looks greenish-gray and not nice.

Bulldozing a fairly new home would crush me, especially if it was a custom home. The one custom home I was part of 'constructing' at least was still standing when I drove by it maybe 15 years after we moved out. When I was getting ready to sell my old house (with the fairly "loud" accent w...

I would concur that overall September-October is a lovely time of year but yes, will get 'nippy' once the sun goes down.

Thanks, all. The tow weight for the rover is 7,500 lbs. And the tongue weight is 500. If I did this, I'd definitely look for a light trailer! It isn't all about tow weight IMO.

I disagree again. Statistics alone aren't malicious or evil either; the issue is usually the application of those statistics to draw conclusions. I think this is what I was trying to say but you said it much more clearly. The data itself is what it is. Stats can influence how the data is represented.

Pet peeve alert: Numbers do not lie. Math is not biased towards a certain outcome. However. Context is critical. Neglecting to mention boundary conditions, assumptions, and limitations of the dataset can skew the interpretation of the data. My opinion only. Numbers themselves do not "lie"...

How is it the lengthy investigation into all the above failed to find her guilty of the charges you present? And by these rightly rigorous standards, you of course, couldn't have voted for Trump, so you didn't vote? Or voted for Stein or Johnson? Just because an "investigation" didn't fin...
