Channel surfing one of these…

I was obsessed with Faces a wee bit back in the day 😁

Did this to a Goodwill special, best cast iron pan I’ve ever had.

Not A website, but in the early modem days there used to be these things called web rings. When you were done going through one site (usually just a few short pages or a short story kind of deal back then), you clicked the ‘next’ button and it brought you to another random, related (usually) website. My favorite web ring was the Star Wars ring. Learned a lot of expanded universe stuff, and random fan fiction. There was one site it brought me to that told me how to use the force…still trying to make my beer come to my hand :-)

My dad paid off his mortgage and owned his vehicles outright. He had been that way for about 10 or 12 years when he tried to buy a small cabin. Even though his finances said he could buy it outright, he tried to get a small mortgage…the banks REFUSED to give him a mortgage. They said he basically didn’t have a credit history. Its all made up bull excrement that screws with peoples lives for the fun of it.

It looks way too close to the wall. She likely does not want to put her head there, especially when someone’s watching. Would be good to get it another 2-3 feet away from the corner at a minimum. May make her more comfortable to enter it on her own and hang tight while snackig on some grain until you can lock it.

Regarding closing the gate, you can use a pulley system with a friction lock (like on a sailboat). This would allow you to stand far to the side, or even behind and securely close it, at least temporarily, until you can put a bolt/pin in. The system just needs to be strong enough to hold it to the side. Their necks are strong, but not super strong side to side (compared to up/down), doesnt need to be bullet proof. You’re mostly trying to keep them from backing out.

Piano wire hammer/striker…can’t remember the technical term.

I used Xmind for years and absolutely loved it. Its been a few years since I used it, so not sure what its like anymore. The paid version is significantly better than the free version.

Over the last few years I did some stretches of a lot of 90’s and early 2000’s sitcoms.

In regards to the ones I now cant stand: Home Improvement, Everybody Loves Raymond and King of Queens tops my list. I adored those shows growing up, now I wouldnt watch bored flicking through the channels.

Was very surprised how much I ended up loving some I hated growing up. Seinfield, 3rd Rock from the Sun, and Frasier, just to name a few.

I spent hours on the Star Wars webring. Practiced jedi meditation, was convinced I could move stuff with my mind, and learned all about Kashyyyk.
