    Ash Wednesday (Take 2)

    As everyone but aging Boomers know that's now called grooming. I hate to see the meaning of common words change, especially into something unsavory. I was driving behind this van the other day. Either this poor man is hopelessly behind the times or his business model is very different from...

    Does Anyone Else do This?

    Just a couple of thoughts: This is not that far removed from Howard Hughes saving his urine in glass jars And has the OP thought about monetizing his collection on TinBids?

    Just curious what’s the purpose of the brackets, other than to vex the ignorant?

    GodDAMNit! Where were you last October? So I was right about the pivotal role played by my stupidity after all. Thank you sardonicus87. My new dilemma is this: do I continue using Chrome and pretend I never saw your post? Or do I admit I’m a moron? Or do I compromise by doing both?

    If you're a Daisy Scout I suppose that might do. I prefer a M134.

    So after a few months of this thorn in my side it’s fixed. Thank you @ofafeather! My son just said the same thing. For reasons that surpass my understanding what worked on the Safari browser for 17 years doesn’t work now, at least on my phone. It’s probably fixable but honestly I don’t want...

    Good idea. I’ll have to bring my cane or maybe Jesse’s Barling magnum since I find kids pay more attention to me if I have something to brandish.

    No, it’s something else. I can’t even attempt to insert an image or make text italic or boldfaced. The symbols are there but faded and can’t be clicked on. If the forum was an app I’d be looking at app-specific permissions and settings. As it is I’m unclear where to look. The irony is I...

    Why should my phone be different from everyone else?

    So the title of the thread pretty much says it all. My new phone shows a pale outline of the top panel (B, I, three dots, clip, photo etc) but none of them can be clicked on. So I can’t change the text style or insert images. The site works normally for me from my tablet and various pcs; it...

    Vollmer & Nilsson Finger On The Trigger

    I like their work. They are versatile carvers, equally facile with modern and classic shapes. In my view their pipes are aesthetically beautiful and smoke like a dream. Oh, and they’re great guys to boot.
