    How I Found SOC!

    I was part of a seniors' forum that also included @Yvonne Smith, @Bobby Cole, and others who joined the last iteration of this forum. When the administrator announced he was closing it, I asked about acquiring the domain, but he wasn't willing to sell it. So I started the Seniors Only Club, and...

    What's for supper?

    Interesting. Because of my recent gastric episodes, I have been on a low-fiber diet.

    Family Rituals

    As a single parent, some things were easier, others more difficult, and a few were perhaps impossible. Trying to replicate holiday traditions that were an important part of my own childhood was in the impossible category. Christmas Dinners are not the same when there are only two people, and...

    Hügelkultur

    Like other things, a hugelkultur bed can be small or large, and both will accomplish the same purpose; only the larger ones will last longer before fully composting. I used branches and logs from trees that I cut, as well as some of the ones the railroad cut from the railroad bed, on the slope...

    Hügelkultur

    If you don't want a mound-shaped garden, filling the first half of a raised garden bin with wood can have a similar effect, and save you from filling the whole bin with soil.

    Hügelkultur

    I get that no one is interested, but I am, so I'll add to it anyhow. If building a mound configuration, don't make the sides too steep, or the soil will erode, washing down the sides, leaving exposed lumber and carrying your plants with it if you've planted anything. Sixty degrees or so is about...

    Bureaucracy Grows Even As Work and Workers Dwindle

    Then don't watch, but why comment on what you're not going to watch, and post an unrelated one instead? Unlike some, I have at least summarized the video when I posted it. I posted it because I thought it was interesting, that's all, and I can't say that I get the point of any of the responses.

    I don't know what you're looking for here.

    iOS Upgrades

    I have 26.5 and I haven't come across these nags yet, although when you go into the App Store, it's getting harder to find apps that aren't powered by AI.

    Cornish Pasties

    I think my mom used rutabagas in a lot of things, sometimes mixed with potatoes.

    Neighbor Reports Ghost Sighting

    Having had a few weird encounters myself, I'm not sure there isn't something going on that we don't understand, but I'm not sold on the idea of ghosts either.

    What "song" are you listening to now?

    Welcome back, @Beth Gallagher. You've been gone for a few days, and we were worried about you.

    Eye care in Maine

    Okay, I ordered my glasses today - one with progressive lenses and blue-light moderation for computer use, and any other uses, and another for reading. The cost was just under $400, but my Advantage Plan paid all but $40-some dollars of it. I got the reading glasses today, but I will have to...

    What's for supper?

    A Reuben and onion rings; not on my diet plan, but a man has to cheat sometimes.

    Family Rituals

    I don't have anything to share at the moment, but I will later. Still, I wanted to introduce a topic that might spark some discussion here, given that things tend to slow down in a forum with fewer than a hundred members, many of them inactive. Whether you're thinking back to the family you...

    Exercise, Walking, Etc.

    1.6 miles, wet and mucky in the southeast section abutting the Great Northern Paper Mill.

    Another scientist dead!

    @Buck Bailey, I'm not suggesting it's not interesting or even that something nefarious couldn't be going on; I was just putting some perspective on it, since it's far from a given.

    Another scientist dead!

    For the sake of perspective, there are currently from 42,800 to 43,000 scientists employed in the United States, and from 8.1 million to 8.8 million in full-time positions worldwide, and that's not counting those who are retired or unemployed. Erik Van Daniken was 90 years old when he died.

    Exercise, Walking, Etc.

    I'm sorry, but kilometers don't count, and even less so if you spell it "kilometres." Only miles count.

    Bureaucracy Grows Even As Work and Workers Dwindle

    Yes, it's a podcast. I said that in my first sentence.
