The Perfect Shield?

Kandase @Kandae11 (55162) 29 Mar

I suppose pop stars including Elvis, the Beatles or Michael Jackson would have been very safe from being mobbed if they went out in public dressed like the artiste in the picture above. Which adoring fan would want to get...

vikingswest In the US, porcupines employ the same strategy. People and other predators pretty much leave them alone and keep a safe distance. I think that falling down might present a danger so I only give him four stars Nice to see you here Kandase.

If You Were Granted With A Wish, What Would It Be And Why?

Babes Says @BabeSays (8575) • Mauritius 21 Feb

It's funny how when we were little we used to fantasize about what we would want if we were granted wishes. Alladin is one of the Disney movies that created this fantasy. Honestly, Long ago my wishes were different. But now if I...

vikingswest It's shocking and maddening that Hamas attacked and committed such horrible atrocities to the people in Israel. My hope is that Israel levels Gaza and removes the threat of future attacks. My concern is that the Islamic world, that cares so little about human...

One of the main reasons why I still keep my line phone is because my cellphone is always lost. So I have the number nearby and I call it. When people bought black covers for their cellphones I bought a much more expensive...

For the record, I don't even think I have been in a fender bender in years and years. The last one I can even remember was 1998? 99? I was rear-ended then by a young man who didn't stop, and he admitted he was messing with his...

vikingswest If the police didn't issue a ticket, (assign fault) it's very likely going to end up with insurance carriers fighting over payments. Did you get any non passenger witnesses?

Crazy Lives in Normalville in Liberal America

Jim Bauer @porwest (92588) • United States 28 Oct 23

vikingswest It's perfectly normal for a roofing contractor to physically examine the job site. Inside and out. I'm assuming that since your Dad was speaking to the roofer, he allowed the access to your room. I see a possible moisture issue in those shadows in your photo....

These are Acoustic Research AR-4xs from the very early 1970s. I bought some light stain for them today. This will be a quick and dirty restoration. I won't charge much for my work, perhaps $40. I will only have to restore two...

vikingswest Matching stain can be very difficult in 50 year old projects. I would assume the moisture content of the wood is low so be careful. It's likely that the applied stain will be absorbed by the wood at an unusually high rate and present darker after application....

Ifamous @ifa225 (14460) • Indonesia 18 Feb 23

Kandase @Kandae11 (55162) 23 Jan 23
