Cops said I had to let her in the house. THIS is about to get ugly.

Her who? What did I miss?

That makes at least three of us Gracie.

I would LOVE that house, Ringel.

Also;


You could get a propane tank for cooking and hot water, or a wood pellet stove for heat, cooking and hot water, composting toilet, home made solar panels and if you have a stream on the property with enough vertical drop you could install a cheap Pelton wheel to create electricity. If you're near enough to a power feed that can be hooked into you could do that except the cost goes up dramatically in installation, permits and construction fees.

Cute, but WAAAY too small. It might be okay at first, but I'm sure I would develop some cabin fever and perhaps a bit of claustrophobia after a while.

For many of our ancestors that was a mansion.

Not if they were rich!

Most people weren't rich........

Got my driveways shoveled over a long lunch and now we are going home early because it is a really slow day.

We definitely have the luxurious life compared to people in the past, and even now compared to some other places.

Maybe he thought he was responding to a pm and instead it wound up out here? Lord knows I've done it a few times.

Any American with "poverty consciousness" ought to visit a Third World country and see how well off we are. Even the poor in America have free education, public schools and libraries, clean water and sanitation, police and fire services, national parks, roads and highways, medical care access, not even considering welfare, food stamps and WIC.

I was raised in the Orient, and served in Central America, quite familiar with third world countries.

Haiti is a good example. My middle daughter went on two medical missions there and a coworkers daughter is going this summer. I was very happy to help fund her trip. Precisely for the appreciation she will gain for the US.

My eye opening experience was doing a pilgrimage in India and Nepal.

That sounds very interesting. I just saw a picture of the Taj Mahal today and was marveling at the symmetry.

 

[Dhara]

It was a wonderful experience, following the path of the Buddha.

Hope your evening goes better.

I spent about 20 minutes in the little one's bed tonight. At first I just got in to warm it up for her before bed, then I decided it would be a good idea to get under the covers and scare her when she came in to go to bed. Unfortunately, my employer decided to let her stay up late tonight, so I was there much longer than I expected.

She was startled when I sat up, at least!

To answer Foxy's question about Mrs. BBD's stitches - there are no external stitches to remove. She goes back in 3 months for a check-up.

I thought there must be an issue there but did not want to be nosy. Sorry for you having that kind of trouble.
