You haven't hurt my feelings, I'm not that sensitive. Buck up, you'll
be ok. Just don't get your feathers ruffled every time someone challenges
your statements.

Nice for a visit I guess, but very high cost of living and a high poverty rate...basically, a slum with palm trees...

You've proven you have a good grasp of the concept of "island". Well
done, Jo-Jo!

Pretty much so. Quebecers apparently get laughed at when they visit France.

You ignorant slut. I'll bet you have no idea of what my statement was.

I don't have a clue whether the smart meters report in or not. But that
number to report an outage is on the bill for a reason. However, I would
not trust the meter to report an outage since it took two weeks for the
power company to show up at my door with a new meter telling me my old
meter had not sent a signal for two weeks.

Well AT&T decided to go digital here at least two years ago. Hate the
damn service since when the power goes there goes your phone as well. I
had to dig out the cell phone and thankfully I had charged it earlier
in the evening.
 
When the tornado ripped through here back on March 3 I had to go to the
car to charge my cell phone. I don't know what the folks with older
cars without power outlets did to charge their phones.

I've got a friend who has one of those expensive iPhones and the reception
is as shitty as using two tin cans and string. Garbled at times, fades in
and fades out; I don't experience that with a landline.

Since we have an automatic standby generator, a power outage isn't a big
deal. Most power outages here are more than just one house, so I figure
someone else will report it.

Is it one of those Generac generators? Does it power EVERYTHING in the
house and it is connected to your gas line?

Thank you for agreeing.

It could be their location and proximity to towers. My son was living
in the upstairs apartment of a house right on the shore of Lake Ontario.
He had a couple different phones in the time he lived there but the
service sucked. He used to have to go out for walks to make calls, or
wait until he went out in the car (hands free). Last year he moved
about three miles east of there and and two blocks from the lake. The
service was a little better. Two weeks ago he moved back to the other
end of the city and is three blocks from the lake. That wold put him on
the same tower as the first location. The service is better than it used
to be, but still fades occasionally. It is fine when he is in other
locations.

I think the main thing is exercising the cardiovascular. Who cares
about specific muscles unless you want to compete as a bodybuilder?

Yes 65 lb. is more than 40 lb. Sheldon spoke of carrying those 40 lb
bags in one hand and doing two at a time. It is generally easier to
care something solid and to use two hands. Your attempted defense of
Kuthe's physical ability used the word is "dropped".

I'm not sure how my statement of the facts is a defense of anything - except maybe the "truth." What's your physical ability? Can you carry 65 lbs? I wouldn't even try. Do you really believe some old goat's claim of carrying 80 lbs? I sure don't.

There is no accounting for taste. My wife doesn't care for mangoes. I
love them. I am extremely envious of people who live in a region where
they can get freshly picked perfectly ripened mangoes. I have a friend
who doesn't care much for fresh fruit of any kind. I will eat just about
any fruit except oranges and grapefruit, but it is the effect they have
on my guts, not the flavour.

Besides mangos I'm not fond of blackberries at all. I can handle them in
a Christmas jam cake if seedless jam is used; not impressed with blueberries
either. But I suspect that's because I've not had any really good, ripe ones.

I only ever buy seedless raspberry jam. Blackberry jam isn't quite so
bad but I get seedless if I can.

Sorry, to hear that and hopefully it will be a minor surgery. Do you also
wear a high SPF sunscreen under that hat?? My brother has to wear sunscreen
even with a hat and long sleeves as well.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! I've never heard it put that way and it
struck me as hilarious. I'll have to pass that 'forehead' remark on to
my brother. But stay safe, wear your hat, and sunscreen.

It's in the surgeon's office suite. They cut some flesh away and then
check it for cancer cells. If there are, they repeat the process until
the biopsy is clear. I will probably have to hang around for 5 or 6 hours.
Of course, with covid, the appointment may have to be postponed.
Thankfully, it's not a dangerous cancer.

Yes I do. I have a cover over my bike helmet but still use spf50 or 60
on my head.

Hard Work. Hard work and industriousness were stressed as pillars of the Puritans' faith. Puritans believed that when believers worked hard, it brought glory to God. They further believed that hard work brought prosperity, by which they could provide well for themselves, their families and the needy around them.
 
I guess folks here MISSED the part and the needy around them" as RFCers are some of the most SELF CENTERED FUCKERS on the planet! It's MY house, *I* worked hard for it, so fuck everybody else? How do you get THAT out of the Puritan Work Ethic?
 
I SHARE MY HOUSE! as I believe every rational being should! Kant's Moral Imperative, look it UP!

I got into that tater salad awhile ago just 'to make sure it is good.'
It is!!

Those people might think it is better than no work at all. Working
conditions were pretty harsh here until unions pushed for better and
safer conditions. We can hope that after the companies make a bit of
money they can invest in safer equipment.
 
As much as North Americans express disgust at the working conditions in
some of those countries we rush to buy their products. They may be crap
compared to the stuff made in the west, but they are a little cheaper to
buy.
