During the time that it's open, if the door becomes unsecured, a swinging door could cause property damage, [itself and a truck parked beside it], but a roll up door could cause property damage to the freight, maybe the forklift going in/out, and injury to the person loading the truck, the...

This won't help with the microphone, but when some things are hard to see, [and the inside of a vehicle at night is a truly low light environment], if you can make it tactile, [like Braille], it helps. I had trouble locating the 'select this' bar on my laptop, [ever notice it's off center, for...

I'm suddenly reminded of the time my youngest sister called and begged me to come over to her place to kill a bug. She swore it was the size of a Labrador, and she had it trapped under a laundry basket, and suggested I bring a shotgun, lol. When I got there, [no weapon but a flyswatter], it...

Pilgrim: this is what YOU don't get: anyone who says "I don't believe in evolution" is one who can deny fact in favor of their preferred fiction, and I would never vote for such a person to make critical decisions that affect my life.

Your response to the absolutely incompatible logic of Carson was interesting. First, describe the criticism as "liberal talking points", which implies something like advertising rhetoric: not meant to be taken seriously. Then, pretend the criticism was about his religious views, which it...

If it mattered [to me], I'd know it, lol. It's accurate, and the replacement "intellectually and developmentally disabled" [I just looked it up] is an unwieldy mouthful. I'm not a fan of euphemisms - to me, a "sanitary engineer" is a trash collector, lol. You've been gone a long time - it's...

I'm not getting your point - even if it weren't common knowledge that the child is mentally retarded, it's obvious from the photo. And Sarah described herself as clueless, so I wasn't being snarky about that. Both of my daughters would tell you that they would not have been allowed to use a...

If I were in Baltimore and needed emergency brain surgery, the doctor's religious and/or political views wouldn't enter into the decision, and Dr Carson's ridiculous attempt at pretending otherwise is pretty lame for a really smart man.

Pilgrim: I expect every candidate to have, and express, religious beliefs. I don't need to agree with them, to decide how I feel they'd perform as POTUS, because it isn't [or shouldn't be] part of the job. When a candidate says he believes people with scientific, empirical, fact based decision...

The only thing politics has to do with my response is that I know who Sarah Palin is, but my response would have been the same if you'd posted the photo from Ellen's show [or any of those photos]: parents should teach their offspring to respect the animals they encounter, period. And yes, it is...

There is no reason to be ashamed of making a decent profit - it's what we're all working for, isn't it? There are reasons other than money to base a decision on, which no one mentioned, but they matter, too. The only reason to be ashamed is if one is cheating, or being deceptive, to increase...

Three of my dogs were Labs, [1 Rottweiler & 1 Weimeraner too], and they loved all kinds of things that weren't in their best interests, lol. I think Asjssl is correct: we teach our kids that our pets are to be respected [party hats are ok, if the dog holds still for it] as living beings, not...

Near Knoxville, heading south, and it has not. stopped. raining. for. 24. hours. And. four. states. Ok, it's not as bad as snow, but it's no fun, either. :(

Ben Carson believes we need politicians who are "trained in the scientific, empirical study of facts", but he says he "doesn't believe in evolution, because human beings are too complex - the ability to think and empathize didn't just happen". He is an amazing doctor, but a terrible scientist...

I love the term 'Nasclown', but they were actually a giant black & white checkerboard, with black & red checkers, and yesss, they were uglier than crocheted shorts, [shudder] but they were warm. Didn't growing up in Minnesota teach you what really matters?! :p

Juju can crochet them in something softer, no doubt, and you can make our eyes bleed, again. [Until someone mistakes you for a sofa, at least.] ;)

Wonder why this photo made me think of Mr "Pretty Darn Cute", lol

Holy cannoli - sure glad our crackerjack dispatch team sent me to Georgia, lol. PS I saw a photo of newborns at OSU's Wexler Medical Center wrapped in red blankies that said "Beat Alabama!" Guess it worked, lol.

I've had a few dogs that are big enough to stand [or lie] on, and agree with LOS: they are far happier when they have work to do - it's in their nature. But I wouldn't allow the kids to stand on the dog, any more than on a younger [subservient] sibling, because they're not furniture. If you...

Blogging is for those who can't take photos like yours. Still, I like the effort - it aint boring, lol. And kudos to Cyn for being a kite string strong enough to keep you tethered to Earth. :)
