shalafi,

Jesus. Got my house 7-years ago on a Habitat for Humanity mortgage, for which you pay cost. ~85K? Also, no interest on the loan. Also, no property tax.

3-bed/2-bath/80’x200’ lot/1,140sq. ft. living space/$550mo.

Call your local Habitat chapter, go to the next meeting and learn. Keep going with the program if you can. Took my ex-wife and I 14-months, start to finish.

I can’t tell you the qualifications, they change and are different from one area to the next. I can give you some basic answers, at least I’ll try.

shalafi,

I have windows like this in America. But you need 3 hands to work them. I’d kill for a simple lever like that.

shalafi,

Ask Siri to do it.

shalafi,

There are people volunteering to “house” pubic lice to keep them from going extinct.

shalafi,

My Filipina wife and her friends get into the tequila and it’s on. The machine is 5’ to my left and ready to go.

shalafi,

I’ve made comments about how Mississippians are not what they’re made out to be. Not a welcome comment around here.

shalafi,

Do you really think that way or are you just making a joke? Seems we humans went from making fun of Semmelweis to absolute germaphobes. Does no one get biology education anymore? Or is it more a failure to examine risk realistically? Freaks me out how fearful people are now days.

Always washed my hands regularly. Even as a toddler, I remember getting sticky ice cream on my hands and hating it. But I’m not manic about it, don’t give a shit worrying about bacteria/viruses/fungi/prions/whatever. (Unless I’ve been into something obviously rotten. Ask me about the fungus I found at camp today. Not touching that with a 10’ frog.)

Only time I really think about what I’m doing is after shooting or gunsmithing. Lots of nasty shit, above and beyond lead, you don’t want to ingest. Because heavy metals are for life. Bacteria? I’ll quote the retards from the pandemic, “i HaVe aN IMMunE sYsteM!”

LOVE your writing BTW! I should trawl your comments. (NM, just did. You’re smart and express yourself perfectly. We should be friends. Your damned skin cancer post got me thinking about the tiny spot under my pec. Not sure it’s healing, but at least it’s smaller and not blackish any longer.)

shalafi,

Y’all took the bait.

shalafi,

shalafi,

Beginning later is a non-starter. Parents gotta get to work.

Could work for high school, but some of the younger ones aren’t mature enough or raised independently enough, so there’s that.

shalafi,

That’s amazing! I’m 52 and from a small family and this stuff has always confused me.

shalafi,

If you’ve never been a smoker, maybe withhold your opinion on the effects?

shalafi,

fist bump

I wear mine for outdoor stuff and a simpler Casio for a daily driver. Got my wife a matching pink one!

Satisfies my old-school wants and needs, about bulletproof, cheap as hell on eBay, all that.

shalafi,

I’m his age and may or may not have some pics like that…

shalafi,

shalafi,

'71 here. OLD PERSON!

shalafi,

Lots of cleaning advice, but let me add this bit: If you crack it open and use a can of air on it, unplug the CPU fan first. Super easy if you’ve gone that far.

shalafi,

My dating profiles got a lot of attention. I’ll give you guys a tip:

Go onto the site as a woman looking for a man and read the other guy’s profiles. MAKE YOURS DIFFERENT.

shalafi,

I’m ordained in the Chruch and I’ll accept it.

shalafi,

Medical topics become more and more important as we age. You never know when you might learn something helpful. “That happens to you too? And did the fix work?”

Hell, you might learn about something that doesn’t affect you, but you can pass it on. For example; Dad didn’t have hairy legsm but a guy in bootcamp showed him how to put on socks if you do. :)

One upmanship is boorish not matter the topic.

shalafi,

My dumb ass tried to catch a gar by hand one day in an Oklahoma lake. Chased it around in 3" water and then realized what would happen if I actually caught it.

shalafi,

This is easy! I got this one. Use mnemonics.

Say you want to remember to take a particular bag with you when you leave. Close your eyes for 5 seconds and imagine something outrageous, surreal, balls out crazy. Only takes 5 seconds, but the crazier the image you make up the better.

For this one I might imagine my postman or UPS standing there when I open my door, with the bag covering his head. Or I might imagine that bag as a giant bag full of rabid weasels blocking the door.

You might not even see the image again, but you will remember the bag. Shit’s like magic.

shalafi,

Give it up. These people are living the benefits of a century of capitalism. Now that it’s going down the shitter, the idea has, somehow, always been evil.

I figure it’s a bunch of kids who haven’t got the notion that any form of economy is, has and will be corrupted by humans.

shalafi,

Remote controls. You’ve all done it.

Similarly, after playing Portal, I was constantly scheming on how to get an object.

“OK, open portal on the ceiling, open portal under remote on the kitchen counter…”

While we’re at it, I’ve been chunking stuff aside like Skywalker chunking his lightsaber and refusing to fight the Emperor. This has been going on for 30+ years.

shalafi,

Amateur. My gf will still steal the sheet.
