    So, what happened to all our pent up chat
    necessitating this thread.


    I mean is there life before death?
    And why bother?

    Shall we chat about "them"?
    Across an immense, unguarded, ethereal border, Canadians, cool and unsympathetic,
    regard our America with envious eyes and slowly and surely draw their plans against us.     ​

    Me and a friend got on my roof yesterday and spread a 5 gallon bucket of Kool Seal (white, elastomer coating, reflects sun) To try and seal two leaks on our very old, shingle roof, original from the 60's. We slapped it on thick, maybe 200 sq ft.

    I have come to the conclusion, roofing is not the career for me! Landlord paid us to do it, but a leak right over my bed was a great motivator.

    Did you have a supportive dog sitting on the ground calling,
    "Roof. Roof".

    Actually, I did have a dog on the ground. Kinda got over my fear, once I got up there. I dont see how people do that for a living. And the pitch on my roof is pretty mellow. I dont like roofs or electrical work, both are very unforgiving of mistakes. I did replace an outlet the other day, thus saving the landlord probably over a hundred bucks. The part is about a dollar but calling an electrician...

    lest like some Twilight Zone,
    the Smartphone becomes the "master".

    Come to think of it, cellphones have become
    the masters as one slaves to deal with calls and text messages.

    Good cause to become a Luddite over.

    I don't really need one, actually, but I look at everyone else glaring at the thing and fiddling with their thumbs, and I feel excluded. If they're miserable with their alerts then so should I.

    Actually I was looking for suggestions for something cheap and reliable with a decent battery life. I'm not going to play games or watch movies on it. And not Hauwei (sp?) 'cos it's Chinese.

    Check out the Amazon BLU phones. Been using mine now for 3+ years and it is still going strong. I tend to keep my phones for longer than average so reliability is a factor that I rate highly.

    I'm living in a state of privation and squalor at the moment, worse than an Amazonian tribe or the inhabitants of the deepest jungle in Africa. I doubt that I shall survive the next few days.

    Which the fridge is broken. Instead of a cold box it's now a warm box, and the new one won't appear for a couple of days. How to survive......:omg:

    [​IMG]

    flip phone style.
    I imagine it can do all sorts of stuff
    I do not text, just telephone.
    Sprint deactivated theirs/mine by Sprint
    so I went to Verizon because I like this phone.

    In the books, James Bond drove a battleship grey blower Bentley too.
    None of those Aston Martins from the films.

    No, it's a gentleman's Le Mans racing car. Dominated the race between 1928 and 1930. Described by Enzo Ferrari as the worlds fastest lorry.
    Apparently Bentley are making 12 new Blowers

    I don't remember that. It must be nearly 40 years since I read the books.
