Huggles, God bless and keep you, and the best of everything for you & the Little One. Leonard

Me-N-My, always more questions than there are answers, right ? ? Leonard

As was explained, outside forces notwithstanding, the coriolis effect states that air and water masses in the northern hemisphere will rotate ccw and below the equator, cw. A further phenomenon of the coriolis effect is on human nature and the comfort level of turning either left or right, and...

A germ, surrounded by penicillin. Leonard

As a kid, I learned to type on my Dad's old machine, but I would just use 4 fingers and look at the keys, and on straight composition I could maintain over 100 wpm for a few minutes. When I went into the military and had to learn the touch system, I had a murderous time un-learning my bad...

Pardon me if I ho-hum this bit of news, but astronomical predictions of the past have left me somewhat less than enthusiastic in the acceptance of what is to be beheld. After the spectacular flops of Kahoutic (sp-whatever) and Halleys comets, let's just say I'll believe it when I see it. Leonard

Fwan, run from this loser as fast as you can. You are worth more than to throw yourself away on a lump of sewage like that. Best of luck, Girl, stand tall and don't let people walk on you. Leonard

If you were taking your injured child to the hospital, would you obey the speed limit ? ? IMO, there are times when I would, and have, said in effect, "to hell with the law in this case". You know what has to be done, and you know you will feel better after you do it. Leonard

Loveys, I have a workshop, and "tinker", and I will occasionally need a copper washer for some particular application, and I recently needed one with a 1/4" hole in it, and went to a nut and bolt store and they wanted .25 for the washer, and I told the guy, "It's sort of like a penny with a hole...

In the US, all pennies (cents) were copper before 1983 and copper-coated zinc thereafter. Would any of our friends to the North happen to know when Canada went to the cheap (zinc) cent coin, or are they still solid copper ? They all LOOK copper, but the newer ones are just plated zinc. Leonard

Go with A, for it's the best of the two options. Have you ever considered buying your own home ? ? Rent money is spent money, it is said, and you should be able to save enough for a down payment in a year or so, and if it takes you longer, you would still be ahead of the game if you have your...

This is interesting . . . . How would it be if we all listed the type of work we do, and if it wouldn't be giving up too much privacy, the name of the company you work for. I'll start by saying that I am retired, so my "official" working days are over, but when I did work, the substantive...

I hate to be a spoil-sport, but I don't allow people to play with a laser with my cats because I am afraid the light will accidentally get in their eyes and damage their vision. The way the cat jumps around and chases the light, it would be almost impossible to keep the beam from hitting the...

What I did to cure a similar situation was to park behind the offender, blocking their car so they couldn't move it, and when they came to ask me to move it so they could get out, I told them that my wife had the keys to the car and was gone with a friend, and I didn't know when she would be...

My ex-wife was afraid of bugs of all kinds and one night she got up to go to the bathroom and she started whooping and screaming like WW-III, and I jumped straight up in bed, and what had happened, a rhino beetle somehow got on the TP roll and she wiped with it and the bug got in her fur and she...
