@TomeReader Good job! We need more people who understand basic home maintenance cuz there just aren't enough tradesmen around to hire for small things.

P.S. ex husb took acetylene torch to loosen nut on bottom of toilet tank. Didn't tell me until I got everything back together with new innards I was off buying, and the invisible thermal crack in the tank leaked all over upstairs bathroom. Did I mention EX husb? Yeah, I left him my tools in hopes girlfriend needed home repairs. LOL

@EvilBiker indeed. Hope you win the battle.

@Sassypants0210 Sorry about having photos turned upside wrong. LOL

@Sassypants0210 OK, 1st attempt at posting pics here:

@Sassypants0210 Will see if I can fire up the old tablet and access the photos for you. Used a circular saw to cut six 2X6x18 inch pieces of a board I has, and my drill press to put bolt holes thru them. Bolted the pairs together, on each side of the fencing. Stable but flexible and at 4', tall enough to keep my 10 year old cat from jumping it, wobbly enough to discourage him from trying to climb. Two years now, no problem.

@JohnnyGenX Supposed to be a democratic method? But then we have the ironclad Security Council that can override democratic consensus of the whole UN body, so 🤷

@Sassypants0210 Resorted to getting one of those PVC lattice fencing panels, turned horizontal and curved to enclose the tree in a corner to keep my cat from chomping the wires and electrocuting himself/burning house down. It works. Will try to figure out how to post picture of it here later. Made some wooden 'feet' to hold it up.

@GaryPoole If it helps them get beyond the pitfalls of stereotyping by generation, it helps build a better society. Keep on breaking their assumptions! It speeds up their move from naive to aware. It helps deter the divide & conquer tricks the uber wealthy have relied on for thousands of years.

@researchbuzz Thanks for this. The site seems a good resource for analytic info. Bookmarked and sharing! Thanks again.

@researchbuzz Did it mention the chap who is no longer the richest mid-life crisis poster boy in the world?

@GaryPoole Put that in the "They don't see you as a generation when they know you as an individual" file.

Evidence that there is hope for unity. 😉

@BrianHjelleVirologist The ol Might makes Right doctrine. All the bullies favor that over democratic governance.

@JohnnyGenX Almost as bad as Russian Federation being on UN Security Council with veto power.

That seat belonged to the USSR, and the Russian Federation isn't that, so the UN should toss Putin's insane ass off that council, or the UN is neutered.

@BreakingNews When I looked at several photos of him, my mind flashed the Marfan Syndrom light. Back in the 80s, when that Olympic volley ball player suddenly died, Sports Illustrated did an article about Marfan Syndrom. My very tall nephew showed up in a panic, with the article. He said, this is me, I have this, it's what I will die young from.

Sadly, he was correct. But he LIVED well between that day and the day in 2003 when he died, of a ruptured aortic aneurysm, age 42.

Morning musing
Are baristas mommy replacements for a lot of people willing to pay ridiculous prices to coffee franchises? Someone to greet you sweetly in the morning and make it special, just the way you like it, before you have to go out and adult among all the mean kids in the world?
