Not out there at all, at least to me.  Good analogy.   And I like that it doesn't pin the blame on anyone. OP's partner was a bit different from him but apparently tried to blame him for that, as if it were a flaw or sin that he/she was different.  That's not really kind or fair. Isn't one of...

as any spring's dew opens green forgotten hearts, I remember you

My used-to-be client is 88 years old and has a 30 year old parrot.  Had to give it up because she couldn't give it the eye drops it needed to prepare it for cataract surgery. Her parrot will certainly outlive her, even blind.  Bad idea, IMO, to plan your old age around things that can't possibly...

on a budding heart snow suspends incandescent as any spring's dew

Thank you. I used to have a pet rat.  Ran up and down the curtains, tearing them, peeing everywhere. But at the same time, I could carry it anywhere, on me or in a pocket, pet it, feed it with whatever I placed between my teeth, on my tongue, and I would even let it in my mouth to sniff around...

magenta: blue when your only season depends on a budding heart

I had some friends, a fair amount by my very modest standards, but they more or less turned against me, most behind the facade of the HOA, saying I shouldn't be here because I'm in a trailer.  Even though pretty much everyone here has one.  Mostly, for realzies, because they didn't want anyone...

Don't do anything, ever, not even once, you wouldn't want to be caught at and have being promulgated as full proof of the way you do everything all the time.  TLDR: At bottom. I used to work for a workers' compensation firm, plaintiff's side.  We would constantly get sent photos by defendant's...

I use inch-thick rubber gym mats, more like puzzle pieces, of the type you link together to form a floor. Over those, I use ordinary mats from Grocery Outlet. The rubber mats don't cover everything. But I got a fair amount of crap on the floor that covers a lot of it. At any rate, I recently...

Sure would be cool if you could get some way to do this on credit or barter. There seems to be an endless number of people with formidable skills and knowledge who could even help you on your next build, or even help you staff your expanding company, in exchange/barter/pay for what you would...

Hey welcome. It sounds like you've been through a world of adventures to share with others and, like they say, "You could dine out for a year on those stories." I bet you could provide plenty of story warmth to the campfire warmth others could provide. If you could bring some of that cooking...

Can't vouch for a garage door I imagine most nomads don't have, but a pulley is of course the perfect starting point if you want to hang stuff.  Still, a 30-ish USD (40?) pump/showerhead combination is commonly sold on Amazon and all it takes is something to hold the hot water. Not so easy in...

I can shower with much less, but ... comfortably?  Even more so if you're in less than a hot tropical climate?  5 gallons is doable but only just comfortable. 3 gallons is your skin's starvation wages.  8 gallons is really nice if you have a good set-up. In a house?  Double or triple that OR...

You have to pick and choose the crew you are going to disagree with. The ones you can disagree with comfortably are friends. All the rest, though you may well get along with them and on pain of death historically at least are more than inspired to do so, are something else. The world is by...

no cheating please

I'm not at all worried about the emergency that results in me not being found.  I don't really care about that.  I worry about the emergency of the pet not being found.  I'm worried about a heart attack (heart disease common in my family) or a stroke taking me out and leaving the dog (or cat?)...

Some good tips, thanks.  Honestly with a house I think you can be kinder, but with a mobile living unit(I sound like a Conehead), time is of the essence, and I find it harder to live and let live by an order of magnitude.  Especially since I am here in the rainy PNW and it can takes months to...

I've seen these; they look great.  Right now I have a walk-the-plank variety, fairly similar in concept.  It's nowhere it's useful now though.  I think I'll bring it out into the open and see what happens.  Thanks for the video tip!

That you are used to spring green doesn't mean autumn magenta is blue

Thanks folks. The older dog thing, or maybe an older cat, probably either would be fine though nothing brings the love out of strangers like a dog, sounds well worth considering. Unfortunately everybody I know is older than I am, usually by 15 to 20 years or more, and my sister lives in...
