  1. LOL In remodeling, sometimes square and level can look so out of place. Many times is it better to please the eye
  2. vertical striped wallpaper with the lines and angle set from the center line of the counter to the center line of the fixture. Then set the toilet out of level (left side high) and it will appear straight to anyone sitting there...lol
  3. There is a reason the saying "playing opossum" was thought of. They really don't resist and actually do play dead when in imminent danger. I have come across 3 in the woods. Could have killed all three with a stick. Porcupines are very similar. You can walk right up to them.
  4. I've had opossum before. didn't taste that much different than raccoon or rabbit.
  5. Hooked up and plumbed in a dishwasher and garbage disposal for my brother in law. Everything seem to work very well, electrically anyway lol . He lives in Albany and I finished it late Sunday and headed home to Rochester. I get a call from him on Monday that the dishwasher wont drain and is giving an error light. Well he called a plumber and $125 later I had forgot to punch out the knock out in the side of the disposal before hooking up the dishwasher to it.
  6. The one that pops up at the end of the video is funny too. "nice ass" and they have an Ass like they did with the camel. I get a kick out of the women that hear it, react but never look back.
  7. Then all the jobs that went to Mexico would be back in the US!!!
  8. I knew one guy about 15 years ago that had to bow hunt only becasue he couldn't use a ML, Felony. So he said.
  9. not sure, but if they have family back across the boarder and the alternative to going home and being with them and supporting them, I gotta believe going back would be more enticing than behind bars.
  10. A felon with a firearms charge, I would think (hope) the poaching penalty would be the least of his worries.
  11. I don't agree. You don't have to pick them all up. You just have to take away what is keeping and drawing them here. They will leave themselves if the $$$ dries up
  12. I really don't like Christie. Seems to buddy buddy with Cuomo and I just get the feelign he would sell his other on the street corner for two bits.
  13. Personally I think that he will be the VP. I think he has stayed in and had an agreement with Trump long ago to pull support from Rubio and Cruz. I think that is why you have seen him avoid the mud slinging and name calling from the last debates.
  14. I really like Carson. I think Trump need to place someone with more formal administrative experience though. I could see him in the Surgeon General position though.
  15. I have thought about an inflatable when wading in rough current. My only question is what happens if you actually go in the drink and get knocked out? Do they make any that react to falling in that don't need the person to activate them?
  16. Wanted to give this a bump since it is less than two weeks away. I encourage you to attend. hear it from the horse's mouth and get a better understanding of the process. It's free.
  17. Contact your Rep's to support more strict fines for poaching. Voicing displeasure here does little.
  18. I find it is nice to have a copy of the General Obligation law with you as well when you talk to land owners. While nothing can actually stop anyone from suing it can sway their position if you frame it like this. The owner is just as likely to be sued by even a person just strolling through of a trespasser. Having a person they "know" out there can limit that exposure by monitoring access of others.
  19. "According to a Tuskegee Institute study, between the years 1882 and 1968, 3,446 blacks were lynched at the hands of whites." It did not name the Ku Klux Klan and talked only of lynching, not all homicides. The Tuskegee Institute -- now Tuskegee University -- started documenting lynching cases in the 1890s, according to Richard Sutch, an editor of the Historical Statistics of the United States. The work is generally considered accurate, as Sutch told NPR. "Many historians approached that data very skeptically," Sutch said. So scholars "went back and they literally read every newspaper in a chosen southern state, and said we're going to record every instance of lynchings that are reported in these newspapers, and then they marched state by state by state. "And what they found was not that the Tuskegee figures were wrong, but that the Tuskegee figures were essentially correct, and this amazed some people because the Tuskegee figures were showing that there were as many as 120, 150 lynchings per year in the southern United States. That's a lynching every week, more than once a week. It's just a steady drumbeat of violent oppression." We found copies of the Tuskegee work that confirms between 3,445 and 3,446 black documented lynchings (and another 1,300 lynchings of whites.) The archive, however, does not track KKK involvement. There is no question that blacks were at least twice as likely as whites to be the victims of lynchings, nor is there any doubt that the southern states accounted for most of these deaths. One study put the southern share at 90 percent. That doesn’t mean the Klan was behind them. On that point, the historical record is unclear. For starters, historian Michael Pfeifer at the City University of New York says the Klan had three phases. Pfeifer wrote a book on mob violence, Rough Justice: Lynching and American Society, 1847-1947. "We simply don’t have good statistics on how many African Americans the Ku Klux Klan murdered in the 1860s and 1870s when the 'first' Klan was active," Pfeifer told PunditFact. "Evidence suggests, though, that the Reconstruction Klan murdered hundreds and perhaps several thousand blacks." That would seem to push the Klan death toll even higher, but Pfeifer says there’s reason to question the Klan’s role in the decades that followed. "The Klan was not active during most of the years of the ‘lynching frenzy’ of the late 19th and early 20th century South," Pfeifer said. "White lynchers in the Jim Crow-era from the 1890s through the 1910s carried on many of the same white supremacist values as the Ku Klux Klan had in the 1860s and 1870s, but it is not accurate to say that the Klan was involved in lynching in the 1890s and early 1900s." The Ku Klux Klan is a potent symbol of racism but the deadly violence against blacks, and, we should note, against more than 1,000 Jews, Catholics and other whites, came from a much wider group of Southern society in that period.
  20. We gotta get you out of the NYC area more so you have a more realistic view of what the rest of the world is like...lol
  21. I lived out of town and didn't have access to traditional jobs so as a kid it was on a vegetable farm. It was piece work and If I recall correctly it was $1.00 per burlap bag for sweet corn and things like tomatoes and cukes were $0.50 a peck. I also worked a Dairy farm and tossed a lot of hay. The pay was as unimpressive doing that. I had retail sales jobs in college and I think the pay was under $4.00 and hour. First full time gig was as Surveyor in construction and that was $10.15 and all the hours your could work swinging a 12# sledge hammer. That was living large at $10.15
