Re: Well, hell.

Yep, I'm screwed. The washer is dead. There goes my writing laptop. Washers aren't cheap. Even the most generic barebones models cost upwards of $600. And that's my laptop budget. Excuse me while I go assemble a guillotine. Check with AppliancePartsPros or RepairClinic I’ve fixed the washing machin...

Re: Mother Nature is a %@$^%#.

Yeah our overall energy strategy situation is absolutely apes*it dumb. There is no clear answer how to do it but how it is being done today is wrong. The Dept of Energy and the EPA are pretty much fractured on how to handle anything.

Re: Mother Nature is a %@$^%#.

I live NW of San Antonio and we had it decent during the snow-vid 2021 problems. But my dad was in San Antonio and lost power for the whole week. Which means no heat, no water since he is on a well. The pipes ended up freezing. The well head froze, the pressure tank froze. I somehow got him to leave...

Re: It's the news you never want to get.

I feel for you. Just had mom for the first time in a nursing home respite care week. It helped my dad greatly. But I can’t say either way if it was good bad or indifferent to how it effected mom. Do what you can.

Re: Quick update concerning my mother.

I'll be here for her. And that sums up what a good man and son you are. I’m going through similar here at home. My mom has had a couple of cancer surgeries and on the last one with radiation. Sadly it is on top of her Alzheimer’s. So the radiation and anesthesia has altered her previously docile pe...

Re: A serious update.

I also understand completely. My father, who also had some COPD, caught the Coronavirus. I miss him. Savor every moment with her you can, even if they're hard. Heartfelt prayers for you and your family. Any loss like this is very difficult. In fact all losses are difficult. May their memories live ...

Re: A serious update.

Everyone wish my mother luck, and by the grace of God, maybe things will work out. We can only hope. Not just luck but love and healing is wished for and prayed for in her and your behalf. As a fellow caregiver may you have strength, serenity in knowing what you are doing is the right and honorable...

Re: Current affairs

You'll all have to settle for a more sanitary population. If something good comes out of this at all, it might be that. Sanitary until we run out of hand sanitizer and toilet paper. Then like in Hikers Guide to the Galaxy there will be a lay-off of phone cleaning people and a mass extinction will o...

Re: Updatish II.

I'm almost done with the chapter, but I've had no time to write. My mother's been in the hospital since Tuesday, so I'm spending almost all my free time there. Hope the issues with health clear up to a satisfactory level. Wife and I are caregiving for both sets of parents and a disabled sibling. Ag...

Re: Retribution, Chapter 12 [Spoilers]

I was wondering about what type of bomb Jason could create by phasing some sense matter into other sense matter. Or if he is able to manipulate quantum states can he locally modify gravity and this put a micro black hole inside something or someone?

Re: Out done.

Bah who needs tin or lead. I use good old copper for my faraday cage hat! Easier to acquire, repair and looks like nice jewelry to the friendly TSA agents.
