Had to replace a glass unit when blinds failed. Came in 2 pieces,glass with outside frame, inside frame, plus screws And hole plugs. Literally a matter of minutes to replace. And a lot cheaper than replacing door. Thanks Foxworth.
I have been thinking about you and how things are going.

Nice to have real doors. I have a door with the blinds inside in my bedroom back door. Love it. All my investments are made like that - will I outlive it?

I love London broil sandwiches. London broil don't right is really wonderful.

Bull f'ing shit! Let the world see what these nazi thugs are doing. Redactions my ass.
The inspection team begins taking photos before entering the facility proper.

Per court filings, the plaintiffs will be allowed to take photos during the visit, but those photos "must be shared with defendants and held attorneys' eyes only" until the parties can confer over redactions.

The main source of violence and crime in Chicago is DHS/ICE.
Trump is a liar. Tear gassing kids in peaceful neighborhoods makes no one safer.

He cannot steal credit from our violence prevention and law enforcement efforts that have reduced crime for four years straight — long before his masked agents showed up. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
DHS takes credit for crime being down in Chicago. Data shows that was happening before they arrived.
Immigration officials on Tuesday said a drop in crime numbers was thanks to their work. Police data show the decrease was taking place before federal agents arrived in the city.

Foam is also molded before it's covered in gold leaf.
Brass & bronze are poured, cast, in a mold… not carved…
Trump: Take a look at this if you want to see detail. Most people do a sign and paint it on the wall. So that's half inch thick bronze. Carved. By a very talented person. And it's brass. It's pure brass.

“Our oaths did not expire simply because we took off the uniform.”

Former Navy pilot Ken Harbaugh shares a powerful Veterans Day message about service, sacrifice, and what real patriotism means — inspired by Marine Master Sgt. Mike “Top” Washington.
A Different Kind of Patriotism
Today, more than ever, America needs its veterans to remember that their oaths to the Constitution do not expire.

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.
Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I look at somebody who comes from Somalia...and she comes in and tells us how to run our country. 'The Constitution says this, the Constitution says that.' The whole thing is crazy."

Honoring our veterans means more than words. It means rehiring VA workers, telling the stories of heroes like the Navajo Code Talkers, and ensuring our troops never become pawns in a shutdown.

On Veterans Day, join me in thanking all those who’ve bravely served for our freedoms.

Thank all our veterans, especially these guys who are still around from the last time fascists tried to take over the world.

Seen the emboldened posts by Trump today?
Did those Senators fail to understand what they were unleashing?
I'm even angrier today than I was yesterday.

musk and his creepy little hackers.
It is statistically impossible that this actually happened considering that right before the election, he was losing BIG TIME! 👇

Remember?!

Definitely fall. 39 last night, 29 fcast tonight. Time to disconnect hoses from outside wall faucets. Freeze-proof as long as they can drain freely.
Got the dish down and holes filled. Lots of good fasteners to salvage before taking to scrap bin. L got more done on the doors.

Yep, everything's gone app-shit crazy. Went to buy an oil filter at Walmart. At one time there was a paper catalog, then an electronic index device. Now just a sign saying see associate to install app. So went home, copied number from filter boxtop taped to inside of tool box. My own app.
I swear this is so true.

Fraud in a trump-connected deal? Gee, what a surprise!🙄
Meanwhile in Serbia - lawmakers approved Jared Kushner's project to build a half billion dollar Trump-branded complex in Belgrade on grounds of former army headquarters - despite opposition and fraud charges against some officials involved with the deal
