Deleted a bunch of "friends" yesterday... continuance today.

Posted a thread on this and various other related... but it was removed.

I sort of seen that on Tapatalk. When I clicked on it, it said I didn’t have permission to see it. I was wondering if it got deleted.

I thought you were competing with A2 for the most friends? LOL.

Did they steal your rum?

My greatest tool is: Control/Alt/Delete with some in life.

I kind of like the baseball rules when batting-strike 3 - and I pull up anchor.

Then again I shouldn't be so light switch in life sometimes.

Restoring a temple in Egypt.

I really enjoyed seeing the results these folks are able to achieve with just a solution of alcohol and distilled water applied to the temple walls with Q-tips and paper.
Thanks for sharing this Bill.

Just got a Gal. peanut oil to make these ...YUM... https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/county-fair-fried-dough-recipe

Now this looks really yummy Roger, I love it!

Naaaah! You'll have it with you but, I know! You will be waaaay too busy to use it! You will definitely need a sidekick to explore for you!!

Hey buddy, if you ever happen to get up to Southern Ontario, let me know and I’ll get you onto a few of my permissions.

Don't worry about being close to the ocean... That time will come when a hurricane is approaching "the decision you made" AKA - your house... heh...

Which at that time you will remember that you are either CLOSE to the ocean... OR... 2 miles away from the ocean.

Oh and one more thing concerning this...

That is... insurance... unless you have a budget that affords serious hurricane insurance... And especially in Florida... its all about "location location location"... even for hurricanes and insurance carriers.

Just food for thought my friend.

My first thought was… “why would anyone who wanted to move to Florida not want to live on the ocean?”
But you’re so right ARC, potential hurricane damage, insurance, and property costs, it definitely makes more sense to look for a property inland.

Roger,

Here's some listings for sale.

I noticed a number of the houses that had pools also had shelters covering the pools.
Is this to protect people from boiling like lobsters in the sun?

Good evening, pirates! Life’s been keeping me busy. Struggling trying to get my dad the vaccine. Nearly 100,000 people in his age group in his county and only 1600 shots. I did manage to get him on a wait list. Just like the military, hurry up and wait.

Funny story that those who have kids/grandkids: my son and his lady are trying to potty train the 3 year old daughter. They put her in underwear and told her that she needs to pee on the potty since she doesn’t have a diaper on. A few minutes go by and my son here’s water running in the bathroom . He goes to check and find her standing on the toilet on the lid washing her hands. He starts praising her for peeing on the potty when he discovers that she actually peed while standing on the lid. LOL all over the potty.

And in other news: I have cataracts in early stages on my eyes. Explains a lot. Getting old stinks!

Sorry to hear about your frustrations to get your Dad the Covid vaccination. Here in Canada, they’ve vaccinated all the front-line workers and have given the first round of shots to all of the people 85+ in seniors homes.
That was a funny story about your granddaughter too, these are memories your son should remind his daughter of years from now.

TORONTO — “The number of COVID-19 vaccine doses administered in Canada has surpassed one per cent of the country's total population. There had been 387,899 vaccinations given in Canada as of end-of-day Tuesday, according to data compiled by CTV News. That’s equivalent to 1.021 per cent of the population. That does not mean more than one per cent of Canadians have been vaccinated, as some of those 387,899 vaccinations have been recipients' second doses. The two vaccines approved for use in Canada both involve two shots, given weeks apart.”

We were talking about my dad and how he’s held up going through his grieving process during all of this isolation and unrest.
I said, “He’s doing pretty good for someone who will be turning 90 in May.”
Mr WD said, “ Yea, he’s really been in pretty good health most of his life.”
I said,” That’s because he never went to the doctors and had all the crap pushed on him.”

IDK I think a lot of that is a bunch of pill pushing and testing and procedures for the money. A person has to do what they feel is right for themselves.

Sounds like your Dad has a very positive attitude about all this, I think about this whenever I’m talking to my 86-year-old mother.
These folks have gone through a lot in their lives, maybe this whole Covid thing is just another speed bump in the road of life that needs to be overcome as well.

Good morning, Antiquarian. I am glad to hear that the job seems to be working out.

Thanks for thinking about me WD.
I was speaking with the recruiter yesterday; he’s been good about keeping in touch to make sure that I’m not becoming disillusioned with Somero through this whole ‘offer process'. He obviously has a vested interest in getting me hired there, but he’s also made it very clear that these folks are convinced I’m the right person for this job and they don’t want to lose me to another company. I understand they’re having a difficult time getting pricing for a 'Health Benefits Package' through their insurance provider. According to their HR Department, we have ‘free health care’ in Canada, so why do I need additional coverage?

Morning Dave
Did you get out digging this week-or did you do the couch lizard instead?

Hi Jim, I’ve been thinking about it, but that’s as far as I’ve gotten. I took a drive past a few of the fields I’ve detected this year, but the snow is still 2 — 3” deep in most areas.
I was hoping with the milder daytime temps it may have melted, the problem is we haven’t seen the sun for a few days here.

 

[Fat]

Pepper thanks for compliments, AA there are a lot of things I don’t really understand about friends and likes and like likes. I post some stuff on arrowheads site and all that stuff got me so I couldn’t see anything, I know it was me somehow.
Than a couple guys that were the editors started editing my stories before I could about post them and a couple other times and than now I can’t log in there. I didn’t think I was rude and don’t like foul language and really don’t use in real life so I don’t have to type it either. IDK. I think your very very knowledgeable and as pleasant as a person can be while explaining all that you explain.

You must be some special WIF-I'z never get an invite

At this rates of vaccinations-well do the math it's going to be winter again before the general public gets in line.

This is a great time to detect, you get to see where you've walked. Just a little secret (everyone look away now-this is just for dave's eyes) You can detect through 2-3" of snow, and on cloudy days

So, peeps, is this just a round rock the size of a golf ball?

You kill me buddy!
But if I go out detecting... who's going to do the laundry, grocery shopping, cooking and clean the house?

No need to worry about that WD.
My wife's always been a homebody and has only ever left the house for work and doctor's appointments.

You're better off not getting another job then-reasons are.

Working couple of today: One's salary goes to daycare.

In your case: Full-time care for the Mrs and Daughter = $$$ need at least 2-3 shifts to do the workload.

Then there's the extras. Laundry/meal prep./cleaning

Dog walker-you forgot about the puppy care.

You're going to need a salary above the offer.

Remember on the job training requirements. 2 week quarantine + the in house training in FL. another 2 week quarantine on return-oh you're in for a heavy load buddy.

You're better off just to collect the CERB and go detecting......cheaper and free.
