Bra shopping. I do not get the extravagant efforts to lift and separate. "For who?"

So... all the complaints that "they" "don't pay taxes," and we're going to make it impossible for them to pay taxes.

Let me know if you have house questions, I may have experience, it would be fun to have tea and chat sometime.

Thank you. Honestly I impressed myself. I've learned that unfortunately contractors (not all, but most) are often figuring it out themselves (the workers, not supervised enough) and they often put in as little effort as possible to complete the task, so i. step in. I admit my latest project isextra.

Building shelves into my garage wall. Lots of technical/aesthetic decisions. Takes my brain away from the world.

If you can see this post, you said something funny and/or clever. Congratulations and take a bow.

All my wood clamps be clamping. All is right with the world and tomorrow I rise to a bright new day. Wood glue is spectacular.

Oh dear. These live for decades across Anchorage. Hope the old girl is okay.

Sometimes I'm amazed they let me live in a place where THAT is my backyard. Beautiful.

They're spraying foam on the inside of my garage walls tomorrow. Months of my time and $ for plumbing, electrical and gas. No going back now! 😁

Nah then you can't eat it. Just enjoy!

Interesting. Looks so uncomfortable.

Do they only do the "tail up" pose on ice? They seem much more floppy on land.

Right? It's appalling. And so clearly made Outside by people who have no idea (or care) who we are.

What I am referring to with both statements is when people rope in others to beseech god. As in, the more people praying for something specific the more likely god will make a move. A god who responds at all to popularity contests isn't kind. Isn't good. Is no savior.

Transactional kindness isn't kindness. (That applies to god too.) My goal, and I often fall short, is to be kind, when appropriate, and without expecting anything back. This must be paired with the understanding that I don't control how other people, and the rest of the world respond tome (or don't)

The calendar says Friday?

Yes! This is the second moa inspection, and after a year and probably the 10th full day of electricians working to fix damage/prevent fire due to previous contractor's work. Healing.

Rebuilt garage passed MoA electrical inspection! I am unreasonably excited about this. Next, foam. Just in time.

I'm so sorry. 😞 Thinking of you.

Thoughts on all those political ads: I have lived in Alaska 40 years. This does not make me any "better" than a person who just moved here. Welcome.

I'm sorry you've been struggling. Times are really tough. Sending a hug.
