Today at the SSPX chapel I attended, i picked up two new offerings from Angelus Press. The first is their 2013 calendar, which has the theme "The Papacy." The second is their new book "Young Man of Character," by Bishop Toth. I hope the age range is applicable to me... it wasn't very clear. But, for $9, I figured it was worth picking up! It looks really good....
I've bought everything in this picture(and some more related stuff) since the beginning of November. If only I could afford it. :-\

A very nice Walther PPK style pistol (a clone). But it is a fine gun.
I bought a cooling pad for my laptop. Also bought a four pack of Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale. Expensive. Lie ten bucks for a four pack. Worth it.
Some comicstuffs by Lorenzo Mattotti, occasioned by new interest in his work after seeing his latest New Yorker cover:

Bought three new skirts today. They were all on sale. I'm excited about them.
Re-stringing kit for my HUGE 32" ball-jointed, bisque-head doll. :D I'm so excited! I love being able to learn to do something myself instead of having to pay someone else to do it. Yay, YouTube!
I bought soap.
Because I am out of soap.

Oooo vintage doll? Niiiiiice. I have a special fondness for dolls. If I were rich, I'd get at least one of those Asian ball jointed dolls and dress her in Victorian clothing. ;D 8)

I bought a ton of scrapbooking stuff. And I'm using it -- AND I'm super happy with what I'm making, for once. :P
I bought this:

Because it's cute and it was on sale.
Doll pattern to make a replacement body (if I can manage it) for my very broken ball-jointed doll. The head is still perfect, but I think I'll have to buy a shoulderplate in order to attach it to the body.
(https://img1.etsystatic.com/013/0/5184935/il_570xN.410477993_gu30.jpg)

This last one is supposed to be based on old jointed "kid leather bodies," so I have high hopes for it. :) I'm so excited!! :D
A new blender base -- mine broke.
New flip flops.
And, to get to Amazon's free shipping, a copy of The Three Conversons in the Spiritual Life.
I have a shillelagh coming in the mail. Hopefully it will get here tomorrow.

I'm the same way - usually I have to try them on (different sizes for different makes) but I happened to already own sneakers from this maker, so... :D

Have you tried contacting the publisher? They usually provide instructors with desk copies free of charge. I've never heard of buying your own.
It's not a real textbook. It's an anthology. I can submit a check request for reimbursement to my department chair if I really want to make a to-do about it.
Anyway, I also don't have a curriculum, if that's any indication as to the state of things at my school. I didn't have a curriculum at my last school, either, and that was my first teaching job. I'm surprised they trusted me so much to form my own curriculum...

Yep.
A curriculum isn't a script. It's not as though everything is mapped out for the teacher. It's just a framework to be used as a guide--a list of the skills and suggested works to study that lend themselves to the learning of those skills and a timeline to help the teacher plan out the school year. There's plenty of room to move and change within a curriculum, and it's a standard by which teacher performance can be evaluated. Without a curriculum, the teacher is just shooting in the dark, not is the students have already covered the skills or concepts that the teacher has selected for the year or if they will cover them in future years and not knowing if the teacher is meeting the department's and administration's expectations. From what I can tell, teaching without a curriculum is a great deal more work than teaching with one (not that I'd know, since I've never actually taught with a curriculum).
Hrm. OK.
To me, it seems like you have a lot greater freedom in teaching from something you made.
I know that when I am designing things, part of me really enjoys the whole "do it on your own/on the fly." Sometimes it's nice to have a guideline, but others.... :D
Maybe engineering is way different from teaching, in that regard.
With languages there is an order of acquistition, a natural sequence in which specific skills are more easily mastered. So there isn't really that much leeway in how and when you cover certain points, that is, if you're trying to do it as efficiently and effectively as possible. A curriculum just lays out the master plan, reminding the teacher which skills need to be mastered by when, in order for students to complete the program with the expected level of proficiency. The teacher still gets to decide how to present the material, how to practice it, and how to evaluate student performance.

Right. The same idea goes for learning to write (I don't mean learning to form letters, etc., but learning how to write a paper, i.e., learning to craft an argument, learning to structure a paragraph, etc.) and for learning to analyze literature. You have to know what rhyme scheme is and how to identify it before you can think about how a poem's rhyme scheme might give insight into the poem's meaning.

Cool. Mind if I ask where you buy them from?
http://www.seedsavers.org/onlinestore/
Careful, Pheo! If you're anything like me, you'll get so excited about this site and buy way too much. The seeds generally run $2.50 a packet, and I spent $70. And I could have spent 3X that much. I looooove heirlooms. Love them.
Haha thanks. I've already got a catalogue on the way, and despite the fact that I have a decent-sized box of seeds already, they have lots of great stuff on their site. I might just grab a few. Yeah, a few...
Yes, they do have some GREAT stuff on there. I had a pretty good stock of seeds before discovering seedsavers as well. Oohhhhh well.
Here's a screen shot of what I ordered. I can't decide which plant I am the most excited about. I've never grown stevia, but I use it in the kitchen from time to time. I'll be interested to see how the process of making my own sweetner from the leaf goes. It'd be a good addition to your deck. :) if that's still your situation.

Yeah it is. And the squirrels are still checking it out every once in a while. The treats I made them clearly didn't work too well. But I'll be moving to a different city soon, and it's going to be to a place that doesn't just have a northern exposure. That should be a nice change!
I'd love to be able to grow Black Krims - I got a few at a farmer's market this year and they were really good. But I think those Dragon Carrots would win for me. Pretty neat colouring (purple outside, bright orange inside).
Oh good! I hope you'll find good deck gardening success in your new pad. Have you ever grown carrotts on the deck? I think you could pull it off. Carrotts can thrive in containers. In fact, despite my large garden space, I'm opting to grow my carrotts in a raised container that my dad is going to make for me.
I thought of you the other day when I was thumbing through a gardening magazine. They had this motion sensitive owl (squirrels are terrified of them) that would spin its head around everytime a squirrel, or anything else, came within 10 or so feet of it. Kind of dorky, but might be worth a shot! It got good reviews.
I haven't tried carrots yet, but I think I will now that I'll be getting some direct sun. I was just limiting myself to leafy greens, herbs and a few peas since I knew they'd tolerate the shadier areas. That little orange plant I have going might be a bit too ambitious for my zone though!
Ha I'll have to take a look and see what other people have had success with then. Here's hoping they won't be so much of an issue at the new spot. Plus it'll only be till I'm done all my training. I want a place with some land and a bunch of raised beds eventually. Oh and some goats...mostly because of the posts about yours!

Pheo, you're in Toronto, right? Where are you moving?
I bought a wool/linen vest after the style of the voyageurs, and a hand-stitched cabinetmaker's rasp (http://www.toolreviews.ca/tool_guide/rasps/liogier.jpg).
Yeah my family lives close to Toronto but for the next few years I'll be at Western.
Oh, I grew up in London, 5 minutes from Western. Where will you be attending Mass? (If you don't mind my asking.)
Oh nice, maybe you'll know of some around there. I'm not sure where the nearest TLM is actually. It might be Kinkora - and I think the closest SSPX is in New Hamburg. All I know is I'll be driving out of London for sure.
We had to sacrifice a vacation to the Bay Area, but I got a car for my wife. A Mazda CX-7.
Hopefully, we can getaway soon. Saving up. I wanna go to the missions, visit San Francisco.
I mean, we wanna go. ;D
New Hamburg is a 45 minute drive from north London. There's an FSSP mass at Windermere on the Mount, which is on Richmond and Windermere and very close to campus. I'd never heard of Kinkora, it looks to be about the same distance as New Hamburg. You're in residency now, or what?
Actually I think the FSSP withdrew from London - there was a retired priest offering Mass for a while at the same spot but he left for India in the fall. Yep, starting residency this summer, and almost all of it is at UH so that would have been nice and close. I really like driving though so I don't mind traveling a bit. Do you ever get back to the London area to visit?

QuoteI really like driving though so I don't mind traveling a bit. Do you ever get back to the London area to visit?
Do you like speeding? When I said New Hamburg is 45 minutes, I meant going 120/h on an 80/h two-lane road. Yes, I typically get back 4 or 5 times a year.
Definitely not everyone's favourite, but I'm going to be doing pathology. There's lots of interesting stuff to learn and it offers a great lifestyle in the end (i.e. working lab hours). First year will be more hit and miss rotating through all the different specialties, including call and good old 5:30am gen surg rounds, but let me know if you ever wanted to grab a drink or something when you're back.
Ha well I might take it easy the first time, but I probably go between 110-120 on county roads anyway. Even an hour isn't bad compared to some other places.
And to stave off the wrath of the mods...I bought a pen too! A Lamy Safari fountain pen.
A skirt with a pattern that kinda reminds me of fish scales. I've felt like a mermaid all day!

I found it to be fairly intuitive. Most of the potential confusion is in remembering which feast days or seasons require readings different from the standard ones. But you'll mostly be using the standard ones.
That being said, there are a couple minor points I still have not quite figured out.

It's actually this (http://www.hsn.com/products/anna-griffin-cuttlebug-machine-with-embossing-folders/7000134) machine, from Provo Craft. The Cuttlebug has been out for a while, but I never liked the green color of the original. Odd, I know, but green is my least favorite color. Then this came out in cream and gold with Anna Griffin designs added and I was sold. :)
3 dress shirts and a tie from Jos A Bank.
I didn't buy this but someone gave me over 200 skeins of embroidery floss. She had it on sale for $20 on Craigslist. I asked her if she would hold it for me until next month. Anyway she wrote me an email that her sister stitched for others too, and she mailed it to me, and to contribute $5 towards shipping if I could afford it.

You're most welcome, sir.
Not too long ago I bought this, which is apparently the best book against the "new" atheist herd:

Right by a Costco out here they make it fresh. San Bruno, CA. I've tried what you're talking about before and it IS good.
I bought a Crucifix pendant on eBay for $4.95 + 99¢ shipping. Got here in 2 days. Only silver-plate, but very traditional looking, and on the back it has stamped into the metal: "I am a Catholic. In case of an accident, notify a priest." Here's a picture:

I figure if/when the silver plating wears through I can always take it to a jeweler and get it re-plated for a few bucks.
That is a great find, KDM.

Very nice!
Thanks. The seller has something like 79 more left; they're "Buy it Now" items. I don't have a financial interest in the sale of them, so I'm guessing it's okay to give the URL as a public service. It's:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/400243311191?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
The seller also has a store with a bunch of really nice Catholic items pretty cheap. It's called Needzo Religious Gifts. I could have dropped a bunch of money there if the $4.95 hadn't broken the bank.

Yay! Congratulations! Have you decided what you shall cook first? Or have you already used it?
We just got it tonight and believe it or not, Hubby's request was pigs in a blanket and tater tots! He worked hard taking out the old one and putting this one in, so his wish was granted. Next meal is definitely a turkey dinner and a birthday cake. Then it will be properly broke in. I've already got a month's worth of menus set up. Pinterest is awesome!! lol
A turkey dinner, wow! Pinterest is great for meal planning. Also, allrecipes.com. I think I use that website more than all of my cookbooks combined.
I just found allrecipes.com a couple of days ago. I can't wait to really get into it.

Thanks guys! It is pretty sweet and will work great for C&C. My Dad had a Rifle Shop in town so ammo for this baby isn't a problem right now. I got to shoot it before I bought it so I got pretty familiar with how it handles. It has great balance and the recoil isn't too bad at all. Now I just have to find a holster that will work with a dress. Hey, that could be a "You know your a Traditional Catholic when..." :lol:
Score another point for modest dress!

I want one of those as well. If I knew you better I'm sure I'd have some better ideas!
But some general ideas:
A fancy rosary
An assortment of medals
A statue of your patron saint
Beeswax candles
It just occurred to me that I'm listing things that
I want. :lol:

My sandals are finally starting to give out this spring, after 12 years. After gluing the soles back on for about the sixth time, I figured it was probably time to bite the bullet and invest in a new pair. I've been researching different brands and styles of sandals, trying to find a pair that was both comfortable and extremelydurable (need to get at least another 12 years out of these, after all!), and from what I've read, huaraches seem to be just the thing. Hooray for Amazon sales! Ridiculously cheap clinched the deal, and now they're on their way to me. Unfortunately, they're sold out of red, so I had to go for the more practical (because more versatile) brown.
I just bought my dad a lamp with the base made out real deer antlers. Made by a local craftsman.
I bought 60 skeins of DMC for .40 cents yesterday! They are mostly 25/25 of the same color though :lol: My son might be yelling them at a yard sale one day. :tongue:

That would explain it! I wonder what the difference is that is can be so much less expensive?
I don't know, but the Kindle version is going on my wishlist! :D
I bought a HealthMaster blender the other day. It's the cheaper version of a VitaMix or Blentec. I was saving up money for one of the two, but I saw this, and it said it did all of the same things as a VitaMix so I made a spur of the moment purchase. But then I got online to read the reviews, and it had terrible reviews! So I called and cancelled my order, haha. Lesson learned: read the reviews first!
I bought a stack of cross stich magazines at the thrift shop. Christmas is coming.... eventually.

New used aquarium.
A rug, but it's too heavy for me to lift so I haven't even seen what it looks like yet and I have to climb over it every time I use the stairs.
Also a necklace, at a friend's Stella & Dot party, which is apparently my generation's Tupperware party.
A magazine that includes a neat little 2-hour simulation of the Battle of Tannenberg (1914), the brilliant victory of the German 8th Army (probably mostly the result of Max Hoffman) causing the utter destruction of the Russian 2nd Army (under Samsonov, who seemed relatively competent in the Russo-Japanese war, another tragic loss) and knocking the 1st Army back on its heels. The battle is little-known but pivotal in its doctrinal implications: the Germans defeated a numerically superior foe though the employment of modern methods of communication and adroit use of rail for troop transportation. It showed that the operational flexibility derived from communications and rapid transit were significant force multipliers.
The grindingly depressing Russian side of things is recounted in Solzhenitsyn's August 1914.

Stoddard's History lectures. About 15 or so volumes for $15 bucks. I am happy; plus the illustrations are well-done! The lectures date from circa 1898. :toth:

Nice! I have the same edition. Awhile ago, I started going through it from the beginning to really try to educate myself on the Faith, but I have not picked it up for some time. Thank you for the reminder!

Wow. I've got that complete set from my great-grandmother. They are some very interesting reading.
Very nice! I've never heard of them before; however, I am glad to have picked them up nevertheless! :toth:
I picked up a partial Victor Type D phonograph for $60. In its present shape, it's worth $500-$700 and when I complete it, it would probably float around $2,000. Luck had EVERYTHING to do with it.
A Nook Color HD Plus (during the Mothers Day Sale). Banes & Noble just opened up the entire Google App store to the Nook so I don't have to root it to have a full Andorid tablet as I had to do with my Nook Color (will probable donate that to the local library for their e-book program). I've also ordered a bluetooth keyboard and cover for it.

Last Friday I went to REI to use my semi annual 20% off member coupon and picked up an Osprey Airporter LZ to contain my camping backpack as checked luggage on a plane. Next summer I'm going to upstate New York (Troy, near Albany) for my collegiate fraternity's 150th. Anniversary Convention at Rensslaer Polytecnic Institute. I plan on doing some touring around for a week and while I'd rather do that by train I don't want to spend a lot on hotels, so I'm thinking I'll rent a small car and camp along the way.
I bought these items at an auction a couple days ago:
A set of vintage wine glasses- $1.00
A 1970's hibachi grill- $1.00
A 1960's mini waffle iron- $5.00
I am tickled pink with my purchases. I tried out the waffle maker for lunch, though I made waffle fries instead of waffles. It works like a charm. The wine glasses will be used tonight, and hopefully this weekend I can test out my hibachi grill!
I just pre-ordered a conflict simulation on Operation Exporter called "Reluctant Enemies". That operation was the Summer 1941 move by the Allied forces (UK/Commonwealth and Free French) to seize Lebanon and Syria from Vichy French control (whose treaties with the Germans would allow the latter to funnel arms to Iraqi rebels, thus threatening an oil supply source as well as being a backdoor to the British stronghold of Egypt).

The order of battle in this operation is fascinating because both sides had ample air power, some small naval presence, and roughly equal forces with a small mix of elite units (French Foreign Legion units fought on both sides, and the British also had commandos) as well as horse cavalry, light armor, infantry, etc.
There was quite a mix of troop nationalities as well. You had English, Scottish, Australians, Czechs, Indians (including Punjabi), Free French, Circassians (both sides), Gurkhas, Sikhs, Arab legionaries, Vichy French, Algerians, French mixed colonials, Senegalese, Moroccans, Goumiers, Meharistes, Druze, Syrians and Lebanese and probably some I forgot!
Basically, with all the crazy uniforms, cute 'baby' tanks, camels (!), exotic warriors, horses, ancient landscapes... the amazing variety of everything... if a WWII nerd were going to design a battle, this is the one he would design. But it actually took place and nobody even knows about it!
I'm looking forward to it.
I got a vintage 1980s Calgary Stampede belt buckle on eBay recently. It was commissioned by Gulf Oil to commemorate their chuckwagon that year. Really good find, and only $10.

Haaaa - only on Phatmass, though.
This morning I brought some delicious cheesecake to share with a friend. I also went op shopping and brought a pink fluffy cardigan and one with gold sequins.
I bought a Nook HD (7") on June 29 during their ongoing sale. Haven't tried it yet.

Dr Sabin uses this one in his classes to teach Encirclement Theory and Force to Space ratios. It's also a rather clever little sim.

A shot of the game (not taken by me). I have no idea why someone put a hapless little brigade from the 5th SS Panzer in front of two whole Soviet tank corps, but it seems rather cruel. Haven't those boys suffered enough?
The sim was actually originally published in Dr Sabin's Simulating War, which I think is destined to be a standard text for Strat Studies.

Right?
Well, I forget how many flavor causing agents are in wine, but coffee has gobs more(i.e. you can taste a lot more in it). The coffee shops that are springing up now are trying to bring this to the attention of the public.
Here's the coffee flavor wheel for the Specialty Coffee Association of America:

I drink Scotch whisky, when I'm looking for a real drink.
I agree that coffee can have a lot going for it... so far all I've done are things like quality Columbian which has a nice citrus flavor. I think that's due to the acidity in the soil? I tried an African coffee that was similar in that respect.

Hi H. King,
I did not know they even existed. It makes a huge difference in enjoying the game. The bargain aspect was a thrill, also.
I bought Moral Theology by Fr. Heribert Jone ( the book is also known as Adelman-Jone). Funny story, my first attempt to score it off of Amazon led to me getting the wrong title. I was mailed volume one of A Handbook of Moral Theology by Thomas Slater. I ended up getting a refund, and was told I could keep the book. It's tempting to try to find volume 2.
Anyway, I had better luck this time. the size is quite a bit smaller than I expected, but it's in good shape.
I bought a TI-30X IIS. Because I need an easy to transport standalone calculator. And it was somewhat cheap.

I pose with my whiskey (I think Yanks call it "Scotch" to differentiate between Bourbon i.e. urine-in-a-bottle).

It's called Jura. I wanted to buy some Islay Whiskey today and my intention was to get a bottle for around £40-60 (that's somewhere around $70ish for you challenged folks 'cross the sea).
But after having a haircut (£15), buying groceries for the week (£45) and buying a nice pair of jeans (£65) I didn't want to spend a single cent more today; so I went whisky shopping just to tease myself.
Anyway, I stumbled upon this fella who was on special for £15. It's a single malt of no significant age indication. But from the reviews I quickly did online while in store, it's an incredibly smooth and peaty whisky (my favourite) and for the price it can't be beat. That's what the internet told me anyway. But I haven't had a chance to try it yet; when I do I will let you know what it's like. For now, enjoy my handsome mug.
Ok, so I had a dram (or two).
It's not bad. Definitely not as peaty as I like and I get the smokey flavours and some leather flavours (if thats a good way to describe it). It's quite pleasant; very smooth. The nose is very nice; it's probably better than the taste in a way. It's sweet and honey-like. The only downside is, for me, the after-taste wasn't good. It left my palate a bit underwhelmed and deflated (if you can understand that). So it's not quite "I want moar!" like some of the more expensive Islay whiskies that I enjoy. But for the price, it's a very good whisky and I think it may actually go well on ice (I always drink neat or with a teaspoon of water, but this only really pleases me when it's a very nice peaty whisky).
So there's my review if you ever think of buying Jura Superstition.

I pose with my whiskey (I think Yanks call it "Scotch" to differentiate between Bourbon i.e. urine-in-a-bottle).
Bourbon is not whiskey. It is Bourbon. There is a distinct difference.
No, Bourbon is whisky.
Since whisky is (very loosely) simply a fermented (mashed) grain... Bourbon is whisky.
All Bourbons are whisky; not all whisky is Bourbon.
So Scotch is not Bourbon, then?
BTW, I got five of these bad boys in my ice chest waiting to be caressed and then crushed. Better than anything I had in Europe(except Bavaria).

No, Scotch is Scottish whisky (though as I said, I think only Americans call it scotch - over here whisky = 'scotch' by default (or possibly Irish whisky), and if we mean bourbon we say bourbon). Scotch as far as I am aware has a better reputation than Bourbon though I am not sure why. Some 'scotch' isn't great either; I really dislike blended whisky even if it costs alot (though admittedly I haven't tried the really good stuff, but I have tried some relatively pricey blends and they were yucky to me).
That beer looks good. I'm not a huge beer fan or appreciator as I am of whisky (which is not to say I am an expert or aficionado on whisky at all I just mean I like it and can really appreciate it). I love drinking a good beer on a Sunday but here's the difference. My mom's husband couldn't tell you the difference between an Islay whisky and a Bourbon (to go to the extremes) but he could give you a good analysis of some of the local craft beers and their noses, flavours, aftertastes. I am the opposite. Couldn't tell you if a particular beer was chocolaty with hints of burnt bacon but I could tell you if a particular whisky had hints of caramel.
I am like your step father(?). Don't know much about likker, but brew is good for you.

LOL step-father. Both my parents re-married and both their spouses had previous kids. None of these people are my step-anything. Mom's husband; and his kids are 'moms husbands kids'. Not sure if that's cold hearted of me but anyhoo.
Yeah beer is good. I got fat in beer in University so I drink the hard stuff now. Small amounts, big flavor. Nice payoff.

I kinda like Lorde's song 'Royals'. If I am seaching through stations while driving, and I happen to hear this song playing, I'll keep it on the station and listen the rest of the way through.

I didn't care for Royals at first and don't think it's one of her stronger songs. Right when I started liking it every station in the country started playing it every thirty minutes so now I'm sick of it. The album is good though.
My suitemate is really into Lorde, and has gotten almost all of us listening to her.

Ok, so I had a dram (or two).
It's not bad. Definitely not as peaty as I like and I get the smokey flavours and some leather flavours (if thats a good way to describe it). It's quite pleasant; very smooth. The nose is very nice; it's probably better than the taste in a way. It's sweet and honey-like. The only downside is, for me, the after-taste wasn't good. It left my palate a bit underwhelmed and deflated (if you can understand that). So it's not quite "I want moar!" like some of the more expensive Islay whiskies that I enjoy. But for the price, it's a very good whisky and I think it may actually go well on ice (I always drink neat or with a teaspoon of water, but this only really pleases me when it's a very nice peaty whisky).
So there's my review if you ever think of buying Jura Superstition.

I wonder if they have something like a "Kristen Lavransdatter" tour that takes you around to all the spots mentioned in the book. Of course, a lot of them would have changed since the 14th century. To be authentic, you'd have to travel between cities on cross-country skis.
It's interesting that the Revelations of St. Bridget take place in the exact same time, although she was in Sweden, but Sweden and Norway were the same country at the time, or at least some people thought so, that's why Erlend got involved in that coup attempt, and St. Bridget was at the court of the queen of Sweden whose two sons divided Sweden and Norway into two countries, which is mentioned in passing in "Kristen Lavransdatter."
Here is a painting of the queen, Blanche de Namur, who was related to St. Bridget and whose sons caused the political trouble that Erlend got involved with. Both Erlend and Kristens' father were related to the Swedish royal family, as I recall.

I have one internal 1TB mechanical HDD for storage. Also a 2TB external USB HDD for yet more storage, lending to friends, and so on. Actually, the hard drive that failed still works just fine if I want to access files from it, so I didn't lose any data. But I can't boot Windows from it anymore. So in total, I have 4TB of storage space, not counting the new SSD. Some would call that overkill, I know.

Nah, I get that. :D People need different ways to store things and move things around. I have a 2TB external hard drive for backups, but lately I find myself wanting something like a 500GB portable drive for movies and tv shows to watch on dvd player which has a USB outlet.
Do you find boot times faster, or anything like that? I have always been interested on what effect an SSD would have on regular day-to-day computing.
I won't get the drive in the mail until Monday at the earliest, so I can't say yet.

I wonder why they stand behind the horses and get pulled on skis instead of just riding the horse...

After being fed up with hard disk failure on my gaming rig, I bought a 500GB Samsung solid state drive (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147249). It was $30 off at the time I ordered it.
Time will tell if the upgrade was worth it.
You will love the ssd. I've had mine for about a year now and it's great.

I remember that when I played Sims games, they were graphically light but took an obscene amount of time to start up and load. The SSD would be a good antidote, I'm sure.

Yes. Most people I know with the amount of expansions and custom content I have wait ten minutes for the game to start up, and then at least ten minutes more to load a save game. I can get all that done in just a couple minutes. I still have some weird lag sometimes, but that is EAs problem, not mine.

I went into the Verizon store to upgrade and added a phone, which was free(Razor). The tablet was offered If I upgraded service. I sat on a comfy stool and waited my turn. No steamrolling of septuagenarians needed.

Sadly there is truth to what you jest about. I saw headline this morning in the NY Post that a Long Island Wal Mart employee was trampled to death yesterday.

Impressive. I work in a Canadian retail store that sells tablets among other things. I think our RTs were $230 or $250 or something. Sold out in under an hour/
Macbook Air 13.3 inch was $200 off, and we sold 15 units in 30 minutes. :D

Got em.' The bodyweight anatomy book is interesting, but more useful for a beginner. I'm returning it, because I know most of it already.
The Mark Hatmaker book looks awesome though. Lots of excellent slow'fast calisthenics, and some great looking dumb-bell/barbell workouts. Can't wait till the semester is over to really try them out!
Today I brought some books online for Christmas presents plus a can opener & scissors for my kitchen.

Want that one. If only to find out how to make a dessert out of mac-n-cheese.
Found a new copy of the Rifftrax DVD lampooning 'The Crater Lake Monster'. This one was mysteriously removed from their catalogue and now even the used copies are sold on online marketplaces for hundreds. I purchased mine for under $5. I left it in its shrinkwrap, because now I'm not sure whether to keep it or sell it for an exorbitant price (or maybe sell it just for $50).
I'll probably just keep it.

It's all true. I've been training for around four months, so the time has come to get a set of bogu and start getting whacked on the head with bamboo sticks.

Very cool. I have done karate for most of my life, but someday I would love the chance to give kendo or kenjutsu a shot. I may have to prioritize kobudo first though. Not sure. :P I do love my tonfa.

Paperwhite. It really
is easier to read on than the iPad! Now I use the iPad just to read PDFs: I'm slowly transferring over my books from the kindle app to the actual kindle. That book sharing feature is cool- if only I knew some kindle owners with similar reading tastes to mine! ;)
Let me research how one shares books on their Kindle. I believe I need to have the lendee's email address... I have many Catholic, i.e. pre-Vatican II books. :)

I own a Nook and go in spurts of reading it. On one hand I love the convenience, but I don't think it could ever replace owning the actual book.

I put off getting one for that reason. Once I figured I could get a lot of the books I read for free on the kindle, I decided to get one. I can bring it to work and read on my break.
I'd be nice to have one of those because you can buy certain, hard-to-find, books really cheap. But I could never replace actual books...I love my library!
A 1/4 lb. of König Ludwig cheese from Bavaria. Gonna pair great with a gift bottle of French Cab.
Bought a 1955 Monastic Diurnal. I was able to afford it by selling my 1961 Roman Breviary. On top of that, I also plan on getting a Roman Breviary from about the same time frame as the Diurnal. I'm a bit of a collector, but these two will be seeing some use as time goes on.
Both are extremely hard to find in good shape, by the way. I beat the odds on that.

I was browsing the free ebooks. I can get a Douay Rheims bible for free. Sweet.
Douay, Baltimore Catechisms, Summa Theologica....
Got my Kindle this afternoon. Can't wait to add some books. We are in the middle of a slight snowstorm, so good weather for reading.
I own a Nook and go in spurts of reading it. On one hand I love the convenience, but I don't think it could ever replace owning the actual book.
I tried reading an actual book but then I realized I couldn't read it in the dark, if I didn't know a word (happens a lot), I couldn't simply touch the word and have the dictionary come up and then I had to find a bookmark to keep my place. E-readers are totally the way to go. ;)
Yes! A longtime dream came true with the purchase of a pair of Carhartt Overalls (http://www.carhartt.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10101&storeId=10051&productId=32172&langId=-1&categoryId=10907&top_category=15056&quickView=false)
Only, I found mine in great condition at a thrift store. $75? No sir, but a scant $9!
I'd wear overalls all the time if I could get away with it.

This also ensures the paramedics don't have to cut off expensive shoes when you drop something on your foot.
But yes, this should actually allow more natural posture and should allow the muscles in the feet to get worked out as well, as they will be acting more naturally and thus be used.

Oh sorry, I thought you were being sarcastic.
Yes, I lift quite seriously.
Lifting barefooted is okay, depending on your goals and lifting style and physiology. I personally cannot squat properly without having a raised heel. Most people over 6foot have trouble getting good depth, and I am around 6'1'' and I also have incurably bad mobility in my hips and lower back. If I were smaller and more flexible I would lift barefoot all day long. But for my physical make-up and my lifting style I need lifting shoes. It's a bit deceptive though calling these weightlifting shoes, since in reality I will only be using them to squat. Deadlifting with a raised heel is dumb, and most other lifts (cept for some oly lifts) don't need a raised hell.

And four 1.25 lb wheel weights for micro-loading for my dumbbell circuits.
I've recently ordered a German facsimile of the 1493 Nuremberg Chronicle.
Ordered from a Russian website two more books in the "Poems and Tales for Youth" series of Russian fables. I think they're written for the 12 - 15 year old range. Fantastic stories.
I picked up "Heresy of Formlessness," "The Secret of the Rosary," "AA-1025," and the "Preparation for Total Consecration to Jesus Through Mary" for like, $2.75.
Aw yeah.

In Russian, or translated?
I randomly stopped by the local used book store (Brused Books https://www.facebook.com/brusedbooks (https://www.facebook.com/brusedbooks) http://personal.palouse.net/brused (http://personal.palouse.net/brused)) after work today. Having taken a gardening class last Tuesday evening I wanted to check for a particular book, which they didn't have.
I wandered around to check out other isles, as I always do while there. In the "bible" section something caught my eye: The Holy Bible Douay Version. It was published by the Catholic Book and Church Supply Company of Portland, Oregon – Spokane, Washington. The Imprimatur was given by John Cardinal Farley, Archbishop of New York, dated 1911.
The title page states that the Old Testament was first published by the English College at Douay, 1609 and the New Testament by the English College at Rheims, 1582. There is no mention of Bishop Richard Challoner's revision of 1749-1752. I'm curious if this is a pre Challoner text, but I haven't had time to research that. It likely is not but it is the first time I've found an entire Douay-Rheims. Most older Catholic bibles in the U.S. readily available from the 1940's on have the Douay Old Testament and the Confraternity version of the New Testament.
The cover is well worn but intact, the binding tight, the pages in excellent condition, and there is no writing except for part of the family history section has been filled in.
$6.00. God blessed me today!

Nice find. Here's a comparison page: http://www.bible-researcher.com/challoner.html
Francis Johnston's The Wonder of Guadalupe
A pound and a half of Goji berries.
Found this little gem, The Battle for Italy, secondhand for a song. It covers the Arcola campaign of 1796.

I never get tired of Bonaparte and his shenanigans. The Austrians have their choice of goals: they can try to take and hold Verona, or try to exit about a quarter of their army south toward Mantua. They outnumber the French but their formations are less flexible. They also start divided, allowing the a classic situation of defeat in detail if the French attack before the Austrians can concentrate their forces.

Bought a hand made clay teapot from China. The clay is very porous and "seasons" with the flavor of the tea over time. It came with two matching cups that hold about two ounces.
Hooray for tax return time.

Are you talking about a "Yixing" pot? That clay has been used for centuries, and there is no chance of any lead. So enjoy your tea in peace.
Or if you're worried, send the teapot to me. I could use another Yixing pot.

Yeah I was gonna say, lead is typically in the glaze, which his pot most likely does not have.
Also, am I the only person who doesn't get a tax return and has to pay more? :madsmiley:

A kitchen table, corner hutch, and entertainment center used. Got a great deal and they're all solid wood. The entertainment center needs a little work and I'll probably eventually sand and stain the kitchen table, but it was quite the steal.

Yes, this is not cheap junk made in China only because US manufacturers want to save money. This is an authentic Chinese tradition that goes back hundreds of years, so you can't buy it from anywhere else except China, just like the best teas come from China where some of the trees are hundreds of years old. The clay from Yixing makes the best tea because it absorbs the flavors over time and mellows any harshness in an individual brew. Also, as Piabee previously posted, Yixing teapots are unglazed, and the glaze is where you have the danger of lead.
I've been away from home for a week and separated from my Yixing teapot and puerh tea, and forced to drink nothing but Lipton's. Actually, any tea will do in a pinch, and I'm surviving on the Lipton's. lol

Bought an Angelus Press Missal. :) :D
Finally bought Work of Human Hands by Father Anthony Cekada. Very thorough book. Literally decades in the making (he was researching for it on on off since the late 80s).
also bought a ZTE Supreme from Virgin Mobile. It can't compete with the top of the line for contract companies, but it can hold it's own against, say, the Samsung Galaxy SIII. More than good enough for me.
Another fun thing I got (these all were from my tax refund) was a DVD course for Latin, complete with a textbook. it's only year 1, but the last section of the book has the student translating the Ordinary of the Mass, as well as Benedict XVI's document Summorum Pontificum. That last part makes me cringe a little, but if I can translate a document like that at the end, it should be good.

Awesome pictures! Thanks! ;)
I bought MST3K Volume 29. I haven't seen 2 of the 4 episodes, so that'll be a treat.
Also, I bought the Twilight Zone Complete Definitive Collection. Problem is, it turned out to be a bootleg copy. Last time I buy from Amazon Marketplace... Thank God I got a full refund after I complained. The legit copies are cost-prohibitive so I'll just wait and purchase it with my tax refund after I get it.

2 dutch ovens, 3-piece pinstripe suit, French plate/bowl set (glass), cast iron skillet, and some other knick-knacks.
Also got another copy of "Brother Petroc's Return" by S.M.C.; very, very good book!

Some boxing/sparring "helmets" and a bunch of jigsaw foam exercise mats
Found an old Missal at the thrift store with a pretty gold embossed leather cover and watered silk lining.
It is in Latin and Castellano for Don Andres Azacarate, O.S.B. From Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1943.
The odd thing (to me)is the Imprimatur is Eva Peron!
Pajamas and a soap dish for the shower. So far they've proven inefficacious.
Apologetics and Catholic Doctrine, by Bishop Sheehan. Both volumes. ;D Not the new revised edition, but the one published in the 40s and 50s. Apparently there's another volume floating around under the title Apologetics and Catholic Doctrine, Volume 3: Morality, written by Fr. Kelly which I'm tempted to get eventually. I wonder why it's not as well known as the first two. I'm looking forward to it; I've been wanting something more in depth, but also concise and approachable.

I love the weird ones the best, but some of them can get kinda preachy ('anti-Semitism is bad'...we know!). In my opinion, TZ is tame. If you want creepy, try out Alfred Hitchcock Presents, which is twisted storytelling minus the sci-fi element. The Outer Limits is okay; I used to LOVE that show in college, but 10 years later, I barely sit through most of them. (Hour-long sci-fi anthologies just don't cut it; you can really tell where they stretch things out just to fill 50 minutes of programming.)
I have seen them on Netflix (my parents have it), but they only have the first 100 episodes. There are 156 total. To quote the Milli Vanilli song, it's a case of "all or nothing".
By the way, I just noticed your baby time-line thingy in your sig. Congratulations to you and your husband and new baby to be!

Also, if you're into sports and don't feel like paying the 200 dollars for jerseys/kits. I found this really awesome place via my fav hockey teams subreddit. A guy got a hockey jersey for 30 bucks, granted it's way lower quality but for the very frugal guys like myself, 30 bucks, you can't beat it.

I'm just starting in the middle, with the volumes that interest me the most. If they're all that I'm hoping they will be, I'll eventually work my way backward. :P I can't say that I have much interest in the last volume, though.

Bought me one of these nifty little Kimber Solos in the hopes of getting a concealed carry license here in Illinois. It is more for the principal of the thing, since Illinois has so many restrictions that one could realistically only carry in ones car or walking down the street. But I figure a little old lady with a cane looks like an easy target to the nuts. So this feisty 60 year old will surprise 'im if he tries to hurt me! :lol: :grin:
Also replenished our .22 .45 and 9MM ammo for DH's and my pistols by shopping online and getting very good prices. But I bought enough to spend quite a bit. All of those are hard to find or quite expensive around here.

Good luck taking it anywhere. Just about every business I walk into seems to have one of those "No Guns Allowed" signs posted. Okay, so maybe that's an exaggeration, but I do tend to notice those places more than the ones that don't. Oh, and I think they are forbidden at local parks, too. That means you can carry it with you from your house to your car.

Pretty much.....But like I said, I want my Concealed Carry license for the principal of it.

Well here arises the old debate of "better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6"
Chances are good you'll never have to use that gun. If you do, yeah, you might get in trouble for carrying it where you shouldn't be, but you're alive. And you're a woman: you have less to worry about legally (a jury might let you go easier), whereas me, a 22 year man - no way in hell I'd get off the hook in that scenario.
And its called "concealed carry" for a reason - no one should know you're carrying until Mr. Kimber comes out ablaze in thunder and glory
Wife just got me these neckties for my birthday. Just one of each.

A new mattress (10 inch memory foam)! After slipping a disc (fortunately not herniated or otherwise damaged) tossing straw bales at work about 3 years a go, and subsequently irritating it (L5) and another one (L2) a few times since (always associated with sharp sudden twists of the torso rather than lifting), and about to commence my 63rd year of the earthly pilgrimage next month (God willing) I decided I maybe could appreciate a good mattress. For most of my life I could almost literally "fall asleep laying on rocks" and have always bought inexpensive bedding (St. Vincent DePaul Society thrift shops often carry decent "hotel cast offs" at an attractive price).
I had NO idea how expensive mattresses could be, especially the memory foam ones rather than coil spring, which my research suggested woud be a good option. Spent a lot of time trying out different mattresses at the local shops (I discovered there are big differences in how they feel so in the current context I couldn't imagine ordering one without having layed on it).
While I do my fair share of online shopping I have also periodically ranted about the value of supporting local merchants (who were indispensible to mattress research, since they had the bed displays I could try out). After deciding on a "best value for me, my back, and my budget" I did some further price research and found I could order it online for $100 less, shipping included. I'm not so good at negotiating but I did work in 100% commission sales for 10 years and the most frustrating thing about that was not loosing a sale but when a prospect hadn't given me the opportunity to compete. So I printed out the on line offer and asked the local shop if they might consider meeting me half way on the price difference. They matched the on line price! WIN / WIN :)
As a sidebar, and referencing the "Do you lift?" thread http://www.suscipedomine.com/forum/index.php?topic=3466.0;topicseen (http://www.suscipedomine.com/forum/index.php?topic=3466.0;topicseen), everytime I've subsequently "tossed out my back" (the slipped disc incident three years ago was the first time I've ever had back issues) the discomfort has always been less and the recovery time has always been quicker. This makes me believe that my routine of dead lifts and squats (265 lbs. for lifts, 185 lbs. for squats SO FAR), plus other core conditioning work is paying big dividends.
Anyways, this is the mattress I selected: http://biossleepsystem.com/foam-mattress/performance-foam-mattress-half.html (http://biossleepsystem.com/foam-mattress/performance-foam-mattress-half.html). This company is not one of the better known brand names but their product is 100% U.S. manufactured and they appear to be one of the few mattress companies that also manufacture their own memory foam.
BAM I found a mint condition Chaplet of St. Michael CD at the thrift store for very little $.

If you're in Illinois sometime feel free to PM me. The shop isn't open to the public (and there's a German shepherd on the property) but visits can be arranged.
Are you able to post pictures? I will never drive one of vehicles into Illinois. Colorado plates in the Land of Lincoln:

I removed my NRA stickers from my car when I had to go to Illinois. But mostly because I was afraid hooligans would try breaking into my car looking for guns. Otherwise I have no problem sticking it to f.i.b.s lol!

Why is the keyboard glowing? :huh:
It's a law that gamers must play into the wee hours of the morning long after respectable citizens have retired. Without a lit keyboard, how would they know what keys to hit? Few are accomplished typists.
Hm. Once upon a time I would do tedious area design using vectors and manually-input coordinates, all while in a pitch black room (aside from the monitor light) on a non-illuminated keyboard. Who needs glowing keyboards?

wow that sucks. how about fruit-based? or your other option is to go straight sugar wash, run through reflux column or bubble caps and then make liqueurs out of the result. sugar washes and reflux is kind of outside my area of expertise though, i just pot-still grain mashes.
The only thing we can make is wine. Maybe because it's Biblical? :lol:

Although, it doesn't use 'Thou' or 'Thee' generally [unlike the 'New Marian Missal'], rather it uses 'You'; neverthless, the Mass prayers are still very elegant, reverent, and have a humble noble simplicity about them! :) )

I am a semi-snob when it comes to beer but I haven't had any of these. I've tried things from several of these breweries. I love Bell's Two Hearted, and would love to find that imp. dark ale. In general, the whole right side of the list looks right up my alley. Love altbiers. Mmmm.
Might have to make my first visit (or at least a phone call) to Whole Foods in months.
I keep telling myself that although it's July, soon breweries will start brewing pumpkin stuff (meh), which means Fall, and soon after that it's dark, beautiful Winter, my favorite time of the beer year...

In lower light, such as in denser tree cover or early morning/later evening, they allow you to see where the arrow penetrated the animal (which aids in tracking knowledge) and allow you to more easily recover your arrow in the event of a pass-through (not staying stuck in the animal).
They're illegal because CO lawmakers are a bunch of idiots who somehow think it's not "sporting" for archers to have electronic aids, never mind the fact that the nock doesn't enhance the shot and its benefits are all post-shot.

What, CO land management wants you to lose your arrows? Maybe they have a back room deal with the arrow manufactures. ?? Makes no sense. They offer no advantage to the hunter apart from arrow retrieval.

Not really interesting, but I finally caved and got the basic 16GB iPad mini as two of my classes are utilizing a PDF book (provided by the instructor) and PowerPoint (provided by the instructor) in lieu of paper books. Walmart price-matched the online price, so it was about the cost of two textbooks and I can use it longer than just this semester... at least that is how I'm rationalizing it to myself. lol.
And while they're not recent purchases, I'm finally starting to learn how to play the pennywhistles (D and Bb) that I got a year ago.

Oooh. Cross? Sheaffer? Mont Blanc?? My first was a Cross, when I was 12, but my favorite now is a Conklin, which I'd never heard of until I received mine as a gift. I like a broad nib, without the width of an actual calligraphy pen.
Haven't heard of Conklin either. Mine is actually a Parker. The company is now owned by Rubbermaid, but don't let that bother you - for a bin manufacturer they make some very nice pens! ;D

The Mass, A Study of the Roman Liturgy by Father Adrian Fortescue
On ebay, published by Longmans Green & Co., London, 1912. The listing didn't say it was a first editon but I believe this book was first published in 1912, so it might be. The condition looks good.
I've been wanting a hard copy for some time. I have a scanned copy on my Nook and use it frequently for reference but want to give it a cover to cover read and the formatting of the scan is terrible.
The price was a deal (about US $7.00) and with shipping from the UK it will be about what a new paper bound reprint would be, and I prefer a hardcover.
I did discover afterwards that Fraternity Publications (FSSP) http://www.fraternitypublications.com/ (http://www.fraternitypublications.com/) and Angelus Press (SSPX) http://angeluspress.org/ (http://angeluspress.org/) both offer a hardcover reprint.

Thanks for the information! I did run into that forum when I was looking into the idea. They seemed quite knowledgeable. What razor do you have? If you did not follow the link, I decided on the Edwin Jagger after reading reviews and just looking at how elegant it was.
Merkur 34c, I think. EJ is held in high esteem by shavers. Very good choice. If I had more money (soon!), id pick up one.

And I purchased a little Casio pocket calculator for my accounting class.

Plus the bigger keys are nicer.

Glastonbury festival is a big music festival here held every year. It's famous for getting very muddy, so a lot of women wear dresses and wellies. You probably know the Hunter brand more in the US.

Just to read it. Before I bought it, I didn't own a hard copy of the Bible (I had been reading the Bible digitally, mostly through http://drbo.org, but I prefer using a hard copy, so I began printing individual pages, but I figured I should just buy one). So anyway, I chose to buy this one because it seemed just as good as the Challoner (maybe even better) and I really don't have a problem with the archaic typography style. One good thing about this version is that it has extensive notes in many of the chapters. And it has timelines and charts and all sorts of other extra stuff. The downside is that it's a facsimile so some of the text can be a little blurred and difficult to read (especially some of the notes that are at a smaller font size).
Is it appropriate to have the Bible blessed by a priest?
If there's a blessing for beer there could be a blessing for a bible

The 3900B. So upgraded electrical components vs the 2900, but no built-in timer - I couldn't justify the extra $60 or so (I think it's less of a difference in the States). I already have one of those outdoor plug timers so I'll just use that if I think I'll be away when the dehydrator has to be turned off.
It'll probably get here late next week, but I'll let you know how the first batch goes!

Update on the Excalibur dehydrator. I've been using it pretty much constantly since I got it - does a great job and dries things really evenly. Some people online talk about rotating the trays, but I haven't found that to be necessary. I've only done fruits and veggies so far, but it's performing consistently well. And come to think of it, my cayennes are almost dry enough to pulverize into painful/delicious powder.
Some people complain about the noise of the fan, but I barely even notice it (no, I don't have any hearing loss). As far as I can tell, it's quieter than any microwave.
I don't mind leaving fruits/veg running while I'm out, but I want to be home to try jerky making. Only takes a few hours, but I'll have to learn how to time it. Hopefully I'll be able to try a batch this weekend.

Can't put them into my cooking, and I want them for the medicinal effects. Most health problems associated with diabetes are related to poor circulation, and cayenne helps improve circulation and prevent clotting. I don't have any problem yet, but I get the capsules from Puritans Pride which is really cheap, so I think of them as really cheap insurance.

My mother at the family farm has a dehydrator that she purchased many years ago (back in the 1970's I'm thinking). Like a lot of people with a "new attraction", we used it a lot at first (mostly for fruits, but I'm not a big fruit eater so there wasn't much enticement for me), then usage fell off and it sat on a shelf for many years. Mum really likes beef jerky, which is rather pricey "store bought". About 3 years ago when I ran across some cheap (USDA Grade Standard) roasts on sale (the lower grades have less marbling, which is desirable for jerky, IMHO) I had the bright idea to make jerky for her, and have been doing so about every couple of months since. We also have a meat slicer that mom bought for some reason, so I prefer buy whole roasts so I can trim excess fat off the perimeter, then slice - one get's a less "greasy" product that way. Mom will sometimes buy meat for me to use and have the meat market slice it, but the trimming is more work that way, in my opinion.
Anyways, our dehydrator (I have no idea of the brand and it is 116 miles away so I can't go look) has a recipe book which indicated 12 hours for jerky. A couple of time when I set things up and went back home they forgot to shut it off at the appointed time and left it to run over night (so like an additional 8 hours), which has never seemed to affect the quality of the final product.

I'm glad to hear it's still being used...even if only a little! I've actually been dehydrating things in my oven as part of my normal routine for the past couple years, but I wanted something that could give me more predictable results. I also make a lot of yogurt at home, so this replaces a yogurt maker for thermophilic cultures.
As far as the timing of jerky goes, that's interesting. Most recipes I've seen online and even in my recipe booklet say it should be ready in a few hours. It's going to depend on the thickness, temperature, and whether or not your dehydrator has a fan though. The Excalibur is a pretty robust machine, and it's been pretty true to the timings given so far. I've barely shut the thing off though. Hopefully I don't have to test out the warranty.

when i make jerky in the oven i don't cook it at all. marinate it for at least 24hrs then season and stick it in the oven on low overnight.
i prefer cold smoking or fermenting meats now though.

To answer Bernadette's previous question, you don't "pre cook" the meat. You first slice it thin, coat it with a curing and seasoning mix (there are wet and dry processes, we use the dry process), let it rest in the refrigerator for 24 hours, then it goes into the dehydrator. As dehydrating involves heat this is where the "cooking" occurs.
We started making our own jerky because it it way cheaper than store bought.
I just did a check and Jack Link Beef Jerky at WalMart is $4.68 for a 3.25 ounce package, which is $23.04 a pound.
We look for lower quality grade (standard or select) roasts on sale for $3.00 - $5.00 a pound. One doesn't want the marbling in choice or prime cuts as that is hard to trim and will make the jerky greasy ~ very lean cuts work best. After trimming the fat the weight of the prepared meat will reduce by about half during dehydration. In "round numbers" you can make jerky at home for about half the cost of store bought.

cold smoking is probaby the cheapest of all, there's always an abundance of good smoking wood to be found or bartered for. fermenting the meats is not very expensive either, but you got to carefully monitor the temperatures and mold colours beacause you can get botulism with improperly fermented meats. as long as you do it properly there's no risk though.
moneil how long does the dehydrator take? much faster than an oven i'll bet. i need to get one to dry out my homemade malts more quicker as the methods i use take too long.
i prefer a bit of fat on the jerky i make in the oven, i love the way it comes out after it's been dried and cooled. i usually use cheap steak, the kind that's marked for a quick sale or if there's scrappy bits left from some game or homekill a bit of it will normally make some jerky. unless it goes in a boilup.

Ugh, I'm trying to remember ... the dehydrator is at mom's farm some 187 kilometers southwest of me. I'm "thinking" that we cure the beef in the fridge for like 18 hours and then 12 hours in the dehydrator, or "the other way around?". I use a "store bought" cure and seasoning mix though there are lots of home made recipes. We use the cure time on the package and the drying time indicated in the dehydrator's recipe book. I will look next time I'm down there and report back, but that may be a couple of weeks from now.
I'm just the opposite about the fat, haha. I do love fat, just not with jerky, makes it taste too greasy in my opinion, but that is a matter of personal preference.
cool. the 12 hours is about the same for me doing it in the oven. the store bought cures a pricey round here so i've always just made my own, which vary depending on what's in the kitchen cupboards at the time lol.

Problem with RAM is it is volatile... static electricity fries it, so it will be hard to sell.
What RAM is it? What you might do is this:
Put it for sale here, link sale ad in the geek section. Ask that whoever gets it pays once they determine it is still operable. Or try local craigslist.

That rosary is gorgeous!
A camel that I am 90% certain will match my vintage nativity scene.
Laus, where did you get the Rosary?? Those would make great gifts for my boys.
I got it from here: http://www.cordbands.com/
They're really nice...nicer than I expected. They come in a little burlap type pouch and it's all very military looking. I got mine with a Miraculous Medal. They're bigger than I was expecting too.
Thanks for the info. They look really nice.

Hey there was a hill...and some trees.
I have a Catholic digital library from Logos Research Systems (based in Bellingham, WA, love the home state companies :D ). The Catholic side of the company is called Verbum https://verbum.com/ (https://verbum.com/) . Just as a "warning" in case anybody checks it out, yes they feature A LOT of "contemporary" material. But, the basic library package I have also includes the Douay-Rhiems, the Vulgate, Denzinger's "The Sources of Catholic Dogma", The documents of the Council of Trent and Vatican I (yes, the First Vatican Council), the Roman Catechism (Catechism of the Council of Trent), among many other pre VII resources. Not long ago I added James Cardinal Gibbon's "The Faith of Our Fathers", 1879 (one of my favorite catechisms, and yes, I realize that His Eminence is not appreciated by all traditional Catholics).
Anyways, for what "I bought recently" ... Logos / Verbum sent out a $20.00 credit good toward any of their titles. I selected "THE DIVINE OFFICE, Explanation of the Psalms and Canticles" by St. Alphonsus de Liguori (1889; The Divine Office: Explanation of the Psalms and Canticles, E. Grimm, Ed., Third Edition, New York; Cincinnati; Chicago; London; Dublin: Benziger Brothers; R. Washbourne; M. H. Gill & Son). The list price was $17.95, so it didn't cost me anything with the credit ;D .
The description of the work said it contained both the English and Latin rendition of the psalms, but not really, just the Latin of some key phrases, the actual psalms and commentary are all English. This is just as well for me, I am totally "non proficient" in Latin (except for my pre VII altar server and school choir days, but that repertoire is limited). Not meaning to be a "commercial" but what is fun with the Logos / Verbum software is I can have the Vulgate loaded "side by side" (as well as the Haydock, Jerome, and any other commentary I may have ... and the Greek and Hebrew translations, and the respective dictionaries), so it is totally awesome for some serious study!
What Catholic calendars are people buying this year? I need one.
I didn't get a Catholic one this year (which in hindsight was a bit silly of me given that I find them quite helpful) though the Angelus ones look interesting. The Woodland Trust will be gracing my walls instead :)
I always get a Catholic one and a regular one. I prefer pre-55 though and I couldn't stomach the schlocky images in the ones at church this year.
We get a free one from the Institute of Christ the King every year. The Monks at Clear Creek Monastery also send us a free one. Both are filled with pictures of the priests and the monks going about their days, along with quotes from the saints.

The "Yixing Zisha" part of its name describes how it's made. "Yixing" is the location from which the clay comes for all the good tea pots in China, and "Zisha" means "purple sand" which is the special kind of clay.
Considering that it is an irreplaceable treasure, it was remarkably inexpensive, no more than what you'd pay for similar new Yixing teapots on Amazon, Ebay or Aliexpress.
Here is a similar teapot from the same maker Shi Da Bin which is selling for $4,000 - $6,000. Antiques Roadshow could explain why the one teapot is worth so many times more money than the other, but my teapot looks to me just as beautiful as the other.

wollyoi actually use it or for fecorstion
My grandma had at least three complete Japanese tea services, and never used any of them, that I can remember. :( Her favorite teapot was a cheap metal one that she bought at Yaohan (a Japanese super-store where one could buy practically any kind of household items). I still use it for brewing loose tea, since it has a little strainer "basket" that sits inside it to hold the tea leaves. So convenient.
I bought an antique, cast-iron Singer sewing machine for $2.00 ;D I can't wait to learn how to clean and oil it.
Quote from: Chestertonian on January 27, 2015, 07:13:02 PM
will you actually use it or for decoration
I plan to use it. I use the Yixing pots to make puerh tea.
Usually every morning I use a classic European porcelain teapot to make a big pot of tea. That is usually "sun-moon-stars" tea which is a mix of black tea, oolong tea and gunpowder green tea.
Then in the afternoon I make either puerh tea or Japanese green tea. I make both of those in Yixing teapots. There is a well-established Japanese distributor of tea who tested the best Japanese teapots against the Yixing teapots, and the Yixing were better.
In the evening I'll make shou-puerh which is processed to be darker and more earthy. There is also "moonlight beauty" tea which is developed to be very low caffeine and low acidity so you can drink it at night.

I have this exact cake of tea, but I see that it is selling on Amazon for $34.99. I only paid $14.00 on Ebay, with free shipping from China. These days I buy most of my tea on Aliexpress. They have unbelievable deals on aged puerh tea cakes from the sixties and seventies that have been aged for 40 years.

What a shame. Items of beauty are enhanced by use.
The unfortunate reality is that there are millions of older people like your grandma in Japan who are getting rid of their old tea ware. You can buy tea sets from Japan for ridiculously small amounts of money. You end up paying more to Japan Post than you do to the seller. Which is unfortunate in a way, that these beautiful items are going begging, although it works out great for me.

I use my laptop sitting on the couch and found a nifty mouse pad called the "slouch mat" that suits me very well (as you can tell by the name). It has little pellets (like beans) inside of it and rests over anything that isn't quite flat - e.g. the arm of the couch. The beans move so it can be adjusted to lay straight (it has a hard surface). It also has a ridge around it so if it is not quite straight for a bit the mouse won't fall off.

(I believe I found it on US amazon.com but it's not there any more)
I never got used to touchpads (I know I'm aging myself).

:lol: Trust me, I understand. I grew up with all the amenities too. Someday I still hope to have a garbage disposal. We were married 18 years before we got a dishwasher. This is our second one. I was foolishly always against it until I found out how much easier it was even if it's just the two of us. It's made life easier for Hubby since I've been sick and he's had to do dishes once in a while. I hope you get yours soon.

The house I bought came with a garbage disposal. I'm actually considering getting rid of it. I've always been in the habit of disposing my garbage in the, ya know, garbage. That includes wiping out dishes and all the extra gunk into the garbage bin prior to washing them in the sink. Furthermore, it pretty much eliminates a large chunk of cabinet space which could be used for so many things.

Finally got a NEW dishwasher! While I wouldn't have gone the Whirlpool route, that's what Hubby decided. I hope it lasts as long as the last one. Is there a crossed fingers emoticom? lol Thank you for everyone's input. It was weighed carefully. :)

I had one of those "unbreakable" rosaries I got off Etsy. And it is alright, I like my huge holy land olive wood beads, but some of the wiring came undone a little, still usable, but I have heard awesome things about the military replica pull chain rosaries, so I ordered one.
Awesome Rosary

Haha. Actually, the stuff you'd put in the garbage disposal will decompose just fine in the landfill.
Yes but, it dings up the dishes to scrape them so hard. I <3 my garbage disposal. I would give up the dishwasher first.

If you wipe down plates and dishes immediately after use, there is no dinging. You could wipe it with a paper towel and still have it look fairly clean without rinsing. It's only when dishes sit in a heap for awhile that the food begins to crust on them and then you HAVE to scrub them hard.
I scrape them into the trash with a fork after use, when necessary. And there's not usually much, just the big chunks and bones and things.
I'm only on my third roll of paper towels in barely as many years in this apartment.
So, I've mentioned before one of my fav bookstores https://www.facebook.com/brusedbooks (https://www.facebook.com/brusedbooks). I've been planning / wanting to get there this past week for their 20% off everything sale, but got there just yesterday on the last day of the sale, with just twenty minutes to shop.
"Steadman's Medical Dictionary, 27th Edition", with a "Veterinary Medicine Insert" (rather appropriate sine I work with cows).
"The New Seed-Starters Handbook" by Nancy Bubel (rather appropriate since I'm thinking of going into a fresh veggie growing venture).
"How to Grow Orchids At Home" by Paul an Diola Snell (don't own any, never have grown or cared for one, but yeah, orchids are cool).
Spent $3.44 for the whole lot.
My own kimono! $10, 100% silk. I'm going to learn how to put one on by myself- something that only my grandma was able to do. I'd hate for the skill to be lost.
Shoes. RIP Piperlime.
Chateneuf du Pape. Still haven't opened it. Will crack it open with my friend in England.
A few interesting things!
"free":
1) (Found) a jar of creamy peanut butter in the gutter when dropping mail in the letter collection box. I opened the lid and it was still sealed. I'm guessing someone dropped it while carrying home their groceries.
At local megathrift today:
1) Epiphone SG (model G-400). Thursday is their "member club" day, so it was 25% off. Marked price was $70, so $52.50 out the door. Serial number indicates 1992 manufacture in South Korea. According to information found, this period of time saw guitars coming out of Korea which rivaled the Gibson USA offerings -- YMMV. Seem to be going for 150-300 online. Buddy said I should sell it and make a profit -- no thanks!

Nice, those things last forever. You can actually get a greens attachment for the Champion, but I think it's designed specifically for wheatgrass. Would probably do a decent job on other greens, but you're right - you really need a slow single/double auger style system to get a decent yield with greens.

A Fellow Champion Fan!!! Looking at the greens attachment, it does a good job (Youtube). However I'm not particularly interested in juicing greens. If we go down that path, maybe I'll buy the greens attachment.
QuoteThat's a lot of carrots.
I theorize that the anti-cancer compound is in the oil based fraction. Most of the carrot is water based, so you have to juice a bunch of them to get enough of the oil to be biologically active. We shall see if it works.

Middle of the road: 40 lbs. Did about a 5 klick walk yesterday. About 4 in and I did have to stop and take a breather. I hadn't eaten a meal since lunch around 11:30 so I was feeling pretty weak. Makes me appreciate how Rangers can get through training. I am going to hit the stair stepper with it in a few since we have another monsoon outside.

Yeah, these sorts of games are demanding on time and money. When you're young, you have the time to play, but no money for the hardware necessary to run the game at anything faster than a slideshow. By the time you can afford the rig, you have a spouse, kids, a real job (maybe) and no time. I'm very fortunate that Mrs. HK is also a Witcher fan and we can take turns playing.
I would suggest, in lieu of playing, perhaps reading the books they were based on. They're not the most amazing thing ever, but still pretty entertaining and pulpy. I usually buy them on AbeBooks for super-cheap. The first is a collection of short stories called
The Last Wish. http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?kn=last+wish+sapkowski&sts=t&x=0&y=0
QuoteWhat kind of PC rig you have going?
Currently, my system specs are:
Processor: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T (six cores, 3.2 Ghz)
Graphics card: nVidia GeForce GTX 770
Sound card: Asus HDAV Slim
RAM: 16 GB, 2133 Mhz
Storage: 500 GB solid state drive
Operating system: Windows 8.1
The rig is connected to a 46-inch LCD screen and 7.1 surround speakers via HDMI from video card to sound card, then from sound card to audio receiver, then from receiver to screen and speakers via separate HDMI cables.
I have a nice Razer keyboard and mouse, but it's awkward to play on a couch, so I lean back with a wireless Xbox 360 controller more often than not.
If I weren't going back to the monastery I would definitely be playing the game and reading the books. I've been watching some streamers play the game as a vicarious way of playing and enjoying it. It's remarkable to me that they based it off a book series, I like that kind of thing. Lore and world building is just as important as gameplay when it's an RPG type of game.
Your rig sounds amazing too, though I would swap out the AMD and "downgrade" back to Windows 7. Four years ago my PC was medium-high range but now it's pretty out of date. The only nice thing I have is an expensive Corsair Mechanical Keyboard + Roccat Kova+ mouse. Fortunately I only play Dota now and the occasional RTS game. But the best game and something I miss is Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn. I had to stop because it's a time sink; but IMO the greatest MMO since WoW.
Anyway hope you enjoy the game and your nice collectors set.

In favor of an Intel processor? Maybe. I've been locked onto AMD processors mostly because I've never upgraded my motherboard and processor at the same time, so whenever I've bought a new processor, I went with something that fits in the socket. Thus, I've been sing AMD chips for years. And, I just got a new motherboard last month, so I probably won't be wanting to consider changing to Intel for a good while yet.
I haven't been having any problems with Windows 8.1. I've been able to do a fair amount of customization of the Metro tile icons via a small program called OblyTile and other tricks.

Good find, Arun.

Please do, I'd be interested to see. There are some really nice ones I've seen around here but they're all sold at the tourist markets so the prices are outrageous...I really want one though :-[

An antique German china-head doll, for a song. From the absolute worst ebay seller I have ever dealt with! I'll be surprised if the doll arrives in one piece, after the terrible experience I've had with this person. >:(
This fell through. My purchase was suddenly and inexplicably refunded, which is better than getting ripped off, but still. :(

I have a handful at home.
If you visit Bavaria, you should be able to find some at things like Kaufhof, dept stores, etc.
Look for "Maßkrug" (if in Bavaria) or "Bierkrug". If you ask for a stein, they'll think you're dumb, because that means stone. :lol:

When you find out the secret to confession, please give the "for dummies" version ;D. Seriously, though, you really racked up there! Our priest highly recommends the one you got on preparation for death. He suggested it as a good Lenten read. Is the one on purgatory by Fr. Faber? I recently got that one in a hard copy from the All the Saints online bookstore for a couple bucks. They were closing shop and getting rid of inventory. I've only read a little, but its really good so far.
Yeah, I couldn't say no to a deal like that...especially for spiritual reading.
And I have a funny feeling I'll be trying to figure out the secret to confession until I'm dead ;D
And yes, the Purgatory book is the one by Fr. Faber :)

I've wanted one of these for years, but the harness version instead. I figure if motor quits, at least I have a chute. I can pull out the husband card on many things, but I don't think wife would stand for this. lol.

Yes, I'm inclined to think that if we had children, it would be a whole different ballgame. As an aside, they say that with the trikes and quads, you can wear a parachute. You just have to make sure you've cleared the chute attached to the main body before you deploy the one on your back.

I was at Washington State University's surplus sales a week ago last Friday (I work at the WSU J.C. Knott Dairy Center), where lots of old library books go to find a home.
On this particular trip I picked up for $1.00 Harper's Latin Dictionary (it is actually a Latin - English Dictionary). The tome is said to be "founded" on the translation of Freund's Latin - German Lexicon, published in 1850, but "revised, enlarged, and in great part rewritten" by Charlton Lewis, Ph.D. and Charles Short, LL.D. (professor of Latin in Columbia College, N.Y.). The copyrights are 1879 and 1907.
It is 2,019 pages.
I have no linguistic ability with Latin (other than my altar server responses and singing Masses in parochial school choir ~ First Communion was in 1959, I'm too tired to do the math on what years those other activities were) and at age 64 and after the traumas of learning English and Spanish I'm not sure I'm up for learning another tongue. However, I periodically find it useful or interesting to have an understanding of a particular Latin word or phrase. I'm rather excited about having found this.
Cool! I can't stand the thought of getting rid of my language textbooks (at least, not without replacing them in Kindle format). Who knows, one day I might want to re-learn one of those languages! :P

I've studied, at various times, Spanish, French, Latin, Ancient Greek, and Italian. Oh, and Esperanto, but I don't think that really counts because it's not useful It was just for fun in college. :lol: I tried Japanese, but I can't see the characters well enough to really make it worthwhile. But I do like watching subtitled Japanese miniseries. Chinese, too, for that matter. I think aptitude for languages runs in the family. My great-grandmother knew six languages! And my grandma was bilingual, of course.

English, Spanish, French, Italian I have some competence in. I worked in France for a bit. Latin I'm still fighting in, Attic Greek I'll get back to. And I only know the very basics of German and Russian. (As in the alphabet for the latter and certain words and phrases in the former). I never got far with Attic

Finally bought a copy of Food in England, by Dorothy Hartley, which I've wanted ever since I saw the Lucy Worsley documentary on youtube. $7.00 and free shipping. Not bad for out of print. ;D I think I'll read it as I scan it, and kill two birds with one stone.

I stopped wearing decent sunglasses when I was a kid (I had transitions for a while, but they sucked), and a few years ago I finally started putting money aside for legit prescription sunglasses. Once I had them, it was great. I could drive without squinting, I could pose for decent photos...
It was great. Best purchase I've made in a long time. Only downside is carrying my normal glasses with me, but that's a small price to pay for decent sunglass vision!....

A bunch of old Black Keys albums. They're better than the new stuff.
I bought the Dark Knight Trilogy: Limited Collector's Edition Blu-ray set for about $35 used. Ridiculously low price for the value. I've already watched almost all the documentaries and special features. Trying to figure out if I have enough material to write a piece about Christopher Nolan's interpretation of Bane.

I haven't actually followed any of the Suicide Squad news, but in my opinion, there should be at least a 15-year moratorium after Ledger on any live-action depictions of the Joker (unless it was Mark Hamill). The Joker doesn't need to be in a Suicide Squad film for it to be good. I have faith that Will Smith can make a good Deadshot, at least.

the Harley Quinn actress appears to pull it off pretty well too, from what little i've seen of her. Will Smith can make a good just about anything, really. Then again Leto is one of the best actors out there, too... but going from a career-defining performance by Heath Ledger as a gritty, realistic probably Iraq vet with PTSD that could actually happen in your town today, to an over the top cartoon caricature version will probably hang over the part like a bad shadow.
just watched the Deadpool trailer (nsfw or i'd post it here) with Ryan Reynolds, definitely wanna see that one also. Reynolds is a great casting choice for that character imho.
Ryan Reynolds is also a big deadpool fan...

based on the trailer alone he makes a way more better deadpool than he did a green lantern... jonah hill or michael cera would be perfect for green lantern though.
I don't know whether Green Lantern really works as a comedy...DC is too serious...
Deadpool is himself a parody of a dc chatqctet.
even in a serious role, michael cera would make a perfect green lantern. cos green lanterns a wuss.
He needs his nanook sidekick..m.

i had a really nice hand carved Ukrainian pipe with this metal lid that closes over the top for awhile. huuuge bowl though, i had to install a mesh screen to economise it. ended up giving it to a friend. i'll see if i can find a similar one on google images and put it here...
(https://img0.etsystatic.com/013/0/6166987/il_570xN.409864248_q8sb.jpg) those say they're made from beech though and mine was rosewood, the rosewood added some aroma to, um... whatever it is you might be smoking... very pleasnt to use.
My wife and I bought a couple briar pipes and tobacco. Peterson pipes, Frog Morton and Tsuge tobacco. We smoke maybe once every one or two weeks. Nice way to relax in the evening.

I've had this exact same avatar since I first registered and joined two years ago; you hadn't said anything then. :P
Headlight, brake lever and indicators for one of my motorbikes. Stupid girl walked out exactly in front of me and so I had to swerve hard. I hope the postal strike (a contractor on strike not the Post Office but few parcels and parcels were moving for a bit) doesn't delay the brake lever too much. Also a 1950 St Andrew's Missal. It keeps as much of the Mass as possible at the start of the missal. I have never been great at flicking between sections which my other missal forces me to do, but it does have a greater range of prayers.

Shoes. So much for my resolution not to spend anything on clothes this month.
I returned them.

A new motor for our air conditioner/heater. Finally, no banging in the middle of the night! Yay! Just in time too. Too warm in the daytime not to use the A/C and too cold at night not to use the heater season is just about upon us.

Lupini beans. You can get them on the internet. Highly addictive and a good excuse to eat olive oil.

dude, that's a gourmet kiwi breakfast right there. make sure the toast is Burgen roggenbrot, add some vienna sausages and we're rock and rolling; at least that's how i do it.
Bought 4' of 1/2 thick chain for the gym and a pair of New Balance trail shoes.
4 yards of quilt batting, at 60% off! Yay, Columbus Day! :D
A black turtle neck and a black beret. I'm going to two Halloween parties and I've decided to go as a beatnik. I already have the goatee, so it was a natural! :lol:
Kindle Fire! The $49.99 one. AND a 32GB microsd card that was on super-sale. 😄 So excited! Can't wait to put all of my PDFs onto it! 😀 I'm actually posting on it right now.
the 6-disc Rocky Collection box set Ultimate Edition for $NZ13.50, which works out to about 9 bucks US according to xe.com - the box set is brand new, too. Dude was selling it and noticed a small crack in the Rocky IV disc due to it not sitting in the case properly whenit was shipped out or something. even if that one disc is buggered i can get a brand new copy of Rocky IV for 5 bucks and i still got all 5 other films for $13.50, that's a win.
Black jeans, a black turtleneck, a black beret, and a bongo drum. Why? Because my Halloween costume is a beatnik! I figured, I already have the beard, let's go for it!

i wear the blue ones sometimes too, mainly cos the missus buys them. but i've always worn black jeans as long as i can remember. it's just what i do. besides, black clothing is formal isn't it? so if you wear black jeans your pretty much dressed to the nines lol. add a black singlet and that's pretty much a Wanganui tuxedo right thurr, brah.

Well, in Alberta, blue jeans, a plaid flannel shirt, and a blue jean jacket is a Canadian tuxedo!
oh actually i managed another pretty sweet buy today. in a previous sweet, sweet, buy my missus managed to score us a year 2000 MPV with real low km's for $NZ1000 (which most people on here would earn more than that in a week's wages i'm pretty sure) and it's pretty sweet; did i mention that it was a sweet deal? lol.
anyways, because it's got 5 spoke 16" rims and it needed new tyres, well 16s are a PIA to find tyres for unless you buy brand new and we don't have that kind of a budget. the specific size was a PIA - 215/55/r16's there were a bunch of 205s around and blah blah but not what i needed. anyway, then i hustled a deal off of one of the wrecking yards, they had been trying to sell rims with tyres but they'd sat for awhile and got dusty. tyres were, you guessed it, 215/55/r16s (2 are directionals but you can still fit two directionals and two non-directionals) so they made me a deal for the tyres only as they can still sell the rims separately (they were nice rims... better than my ones.. but anyway) and the tyre shop i used to work at sorted me a sweet deal (have i mentioned sweet deals before) to strip the old ones and fit and balance the new ones. i just gotta help lol. 5 min job to strip and fit 4 tyres and balance them. no sweat.
total cost $NZ250 for 4 tyres with meaty tread, fitted and balanced. not bad, not bad.

i don't think i've ever seen somebody wear a denim jacket with jeans, apart from some older bike club dudes who had their colors on sleeveless denim jackets rather than leather.
i got me some flannel shirts though. how do they feel about hand and neck tattoos in general in Alberta? maybe i come over there, drink a bunch and fight a bear or something. before i sneak up to Alaska and take advantage of US border policy for illegal immigrants from southern countries...

That video reminded me of two things. One, we used to have Friday Fright Night with my Dad when he was home. Certain tv stations used to play old black & white movies at first so the little ones wouldn't get too scared, then around 10:00 they started breaking out the scary stuff. Now you have all kinds of channels for that at any time you want. Don't need Dad to hide behind for the scarier stuff. That's kind of sad. Think I'll have a bag of popcorn in honor of Scary Monster Hero Dad!!

yeah White Zombie (and to a lesser extent the earlier part of Rob Zombie's solo career) had a huge influence from the old B-movie horror scene.

Lol. That's about right. Only no booze for me. I'd pay to have all of my books scanned and converted to ebooks. And buy a couple more kindles to hold them all. Not to mention quilt fabric and faux fur.

I have this. It was the first thing that I bought from that publisher.
Only thing I don't like so far is that I can't tell how close to the end I am of a certain piece.

Considering starting calligraphy. So intending to buy such materials and an instructional book...etc. Any recommendations?
I might want to transcribe propers and ordinaries onto nice paper.
There a sub reddit for it.

A couple of t shirts, a Rick and Morty one and one of Breaking Bad. I bought them for secret Santa at work.
Went grocery shopping last night with wife and Lil Gardener. Wife had lemons on her list. We go to the produce section and I start grabbing lemons. She says, "No, those are ugly," and starts choosing different ones. I grab another and say, "what about this one?" She replies, "That's ugly too." I flash a grin at the old lady across from us and in a bit louder voice say, "So you're saying it's a real lemon." Old lady starts laughing. Lil Gardener continues to drool and look cute.
Teh End.
Bought several Christmas ornaments that are actually Christian instead of the typical commercial stuff for our tree, which is nice. We had never really done a tree until last year since we typically are out of town on Christmas anyway. Last year and this year we are at home, so last year we bought a nice fake tree, and this year we started working on ornaments.

Not really. Balsam Hill makes some very high quality artificial trees that look great. There are probably other companies that make them as well.

Frontgate. Though my aunt did order her most recent one from Balsam Hill. I tried to get her to cut down one of the two Christmas trees growing in our yard, which were planted in their babyhood by the previous owners and have now grown to a respectable height, but she balked.
we love our fake Christmas tree but my wife says that "fake plastic trees" is not an appropriate tree trimming song

Christ in Dachau by Father John Lenz.

The other day, got the Oxford Handbook of Late Antiquity. It covers the period from c.300 to c.600 - basically, Constantine the Great to the rise of Islam inclusive, and its geographical range includes the area from the Roman Empire to China, and in between. It is c.1200 pages long, includes 36 essays in four main sections on all sorts of topics, is a paperback, and cost a penny under £29. I think that is roughly 40 USD. For that range and detail of information, it's worth every penny. And unlike some books on that approximate period, it's a good read. If I have a gripe at all, it is that I wish more had been said about the Germanic peoples. But one cannot write at length about everything. *Strongly* recommended to anyone with an interest in the period. It would also make an excellent door-stopper.

If there's a screw connecting the blades, how can you cut at all? Do you have a video?
The notch in the blade is the key:

They're here. The screw doesn't connect the blades. You cut with the "back" of the scissors, right in front of the notch. The more you tighten the screw, the more of the screw sticks out between the scissor handles and the sooner it makes the blades meet in front of the notch, resulting in a shorter cut. Shorten the screw, and it allows more of the blades' surfaces to meet, resulting in a longer cut.

It's only interesting because my sister ALSO bought a birthday cake.
My mom had surgery this week and the house is discombobulated.
Anyone in CA want cake?
Not in California, but I do want cake.
Hope your mom is doing well.
About as well as can be expected when you tear a rotator cuff. The hardest thing for her is not being able to do anything. But she needs a break so it's for the best.

Sweet! What year is it? I remember my Dad had one in 1975 or 1976. He rode it back and forth to work, roughly 220 miles per day. He really liked it. Do you like yours?

Ouch. Maybe she really needed two birthday cakes.
Cadbury Fruit & Nut and Bournville chocolate bars. From Amazon, but shipped from the UK. American Cadbury is apparently made from a different recipe. Who knew? :shrug: Looking forward to it, though. :)

1975. I certainly like it. There has been little wrong with it ever, except once a pipe carrying the oil to the engine got disconnected (which could have become serious). My Dad was banned off motorbikes once he got married in the early 70s.

We went to a new thrift shop a couple of days ago and guess what was there? An huge curio cabinet full of angel statues, books, and a couple of prayer cards. I was in hog heaven to say the least. In the back of the cabinet there was an old print of the Immaculate Heart and the Sacred Heart. It was $6 for the framed print.
The other thing I bought there was a used 1st year Latin Primer for a dollar. This thing has more notes than you could shake a stick at.

(Editor's note: I was trying to post a picture from Photobucket, without success, but on my last attempt I accidentally hit the "reply" button rather than the "preview" button and made a "post" anyway).
So, I'm not smart enough to figure out how to post a picture (if anybody can give me a quick tutorial I would be grateful), but I purchased a new bicycle to replace a ten year old ride that I haven't been ridding so much lately, using the "impeccable" logic that if I had a nicer ride I would be inspired to ride more ;D.
My criteria during the eight or so weeks of shopping were: light weight (old bike weighed close to 35 lbs.), a good drive train (cyclist friends advised me to be at Shimano 105, or no lower than Tiagra, I'm not technical enough to understand that all), off road capability. I also limited my shopping to the three local bike shops and REI.
I went with a Trek Crockett 5, a cyclocross model, Shimano 105 components, aluminum frame, carbon fork. I'm not planning on racing "cyclocross" or anything else but in the Trek line this seems to give me the best mix of a light frame, road components, and accommodating a 32mm wide tire for some off pavement riding. It weights about 20 lbs.
I only have about ten miles on it so far but noticed just last night that I headed up a hill on it that with the old bike I would likely have ended up walking. I'll post a pic when I figure that out.
Bernadette - I figure if I go in there once per month, in about 5-6 years I'll have the whole collection. lol I'll have to find some shelves that will go down the stairs because I'm out of room everywhere else! Oh the trials and tribulations of an American housewife. ;) 8)
moneil - In Photobucket, right click on the image itself, this will individualize it. Off to the right hand side of the image there should be a short list of things you can do while in this mode:
email & im
Direct
HTML
Img
Next to each of these there should be an url. Put your mouse arrow on the url next to Direct and left click. This should turn that section yellow and say "copied" for just a second.
Then come back to your reply box here at SD and left click on the "Insert Image" icon above the reply box but just below the bold (B) icon. This will then put this image in your reply box "(//)". Keep your cursor in the middle of the two img's and right click. This will put the "Direct" url that you copied from Photobucket in between the two img's.
*** Make sure that the "http" in the url doesn't have an s in it, like this "https". If it does, just go ahead and delete the "s". Also make sure there aren't any spaces between the img and the url on either side. It should look like this (I've put blue capital X's where the beginning and ending brackets like this [and this ] should be so you can see the url instead of the picture):
Ximg]http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h227/dymphna17/My%20Quilled%20Cross_zps34syiuym.jpg[/imgX
Then click on "Preview" and your picture should be there. Hope I haven't confused you more than you already were. :)

Two things:
1. A brick. My alma mater in its wisdom decided to tear down an old dorm to make way for a new college of pharmacy building. The dorm had awesome brick work and wrought iron gates on the outside. On the inside, it still had one student lounge with wonderful wood paneling. In the recent alum email newsletter, they were advertising bricks, so I bought one.
2. St. Robert Bellarmine's long catechism, newly translated into English.
St Joseph Continuous Sunday Missal, Imprimatur Francis Cardinal Spellman, New Edition 1961. Well done, except size constraints means it only has the translations (I found only one Latin prayer). It has a fine pie chart explanation of the Liturgical Year, and the illustrations for the parts of the Holy Sacrifice, would be useful for anyone new. The preparation for Confessions is good. It has an examination of conscience on the basis of the Ten Commandments, but doesn't suggest saying half the Confiteor in the Confessional (like my Daily Missal). Some priests dislike that. It is interesting to compare to a Daily Missal I've long had, just I need to mark the pages before Mass, but it has the Latin and English. Frankly, the iMass is the most useful, but it's a bit humdrum.

I don't know of the others books, but Dom Prosper Guerangers' is excellent. A book going carefully and eloquently through the Mass is always worthwhile.

That's gorgeous!
I really would love a Rosary just like that one. Looks as if it wouldn't break like all others do, and as if it would make a sound if it dropped out.
It's from http://www.cordbands.com/ also known as "Rugged Rosaries"
I already have one in green camo and it's solid. Big though, so definitely not one to carry around in your pocket.
I had to get this new one after I saw the "Triple Threat" Crucifix.
Got my first electric guitar and amp so I could join a garage/ basement band for the first time with my wife, niece, nephew and family freind.
A bit of fun for this middle aged codger

I had the same thoughts.
My first thought, however, was that it was St. Philomena-ish, with the red cording. Perfect for reciting her chaplet. (an efficient combo)
Is this rosary available for purchase, or was it a re-sale?

Right. The most versitile gun, coupled with reliability, there is: Defense, fowl, deer, squirrel, rabbit, Turkey, Skeet, trap, etc.

I second the motion- I would like to see Chestertonian's pet jellyfish. I would also like to know its' name.
Chestertonian - How are the jellyfish working out? I came close to getting some a while back as something soft, quiet, and entertaining, but didn't think they would last very long.
LTC - That rosary is beautiful. Is it as heavy as it looks? God forbid you ever lose your addiction to books! The only time you will ever regret that sentiment is when you move.
I went to an on-line Pampered Chef party. It's been years since the last one I went to. I just love their products. All of the things I have bought from them have stood the test of time. Doing this on-line is dangerous though! This time I got a couple of metal objects - cookie sheets and colanders. I wanted some cookie sheets that don't get all funky after a couple of uses and being washed a million times. Hubby has taken my other ones to work and sand blasted them, but they just don't seem to stay clean. And the colanders I have are a really big mesh one that is rusting and a stainless one that has big holes. With the Pampered Chef ones, I'll have 3 different sizes that are all mesh. Fingers crossed for no rust! lol

Me too. Now onions I hate. They make me throw up. Never used to. Can't fry them or chop them without getting very sick. So the onion chopper, no, but peeler is a yes!
I should have talked to you ladies before I hit "send"! I've got a couple of "food choppers". Is that what you are referring to as the "onion chopper"? I really like them. A couple of years ago I bought a "Vidalia Onion" chopper, which I absolutely love.

I liked it so much that Hubby got me another one (different brand though) that also came with a cutter that was small enough to do garlic, and one that was large enough to do potatoes. They've made a huge difference to me in cutting up onions and things.

Zelkova wood. With just the tiny little flaw on the upper left. I'm so excited!
Are you sure that wood was harvested from a sustainable source? Where is the FSC certification? If you can't find it you'd better confess your sins against creation before your next reception of Holy Communion.

:lol: Hey man, I recycle. Though it took some doing to get my aunt (the one who's always talking about how we need to take care of the environment) onboard. ::) Though I don't do it because of any particular concern for the environment: I do it because it makes sense to use old things to make more things. Waste not, want not.
Edit: And I
did pass up the chabudai made from a huge
slice of a tree. Mostly because of how much it would have cost to ship. :'(
Ooooh, recycling! That's worth a plenary indulgence at least. That gives me a great idea.
The pope should sell carbon offsets so sinners against creation can atone for their evil deeds. The proceeds would go towards the construction of Nuevo St. Peters.
Nice box by the way.
The Confessions of St Augustine, Franklin Library edition translated by Edward Pusey. It's a very nice edition and it only cost 15.99 with free shipping. I do have the Oxford version of Confessions, and I do really like the introduction that gives interesting historical background; and I like the footnotes too, but I wish the translation used "Thee" and "Thou." The translation is very good besides that aspect. But my I like archaic more, so...

Ooooh, recycling! That's worth a plenary indulgence at least. That gives me a great idea.
The pope should sell carbon offsets so sinners against creation can atone for their evil deeds. The proceeds would go towards the construction of Nuevo St. Peters.
Nice box by the way.
Pope Francis might have seen the http://www.arcspace.com/features/renzo-piano-/padre-pio-pilgrimage-church/ (http://padre%20pio%20pilgrimage%20church), and thought I can do better. Surely P2 has an architect in the Craft to surpass that em interesting piece of architecture.

I'm going to look at a Singer Featherweight 221 after I get out of work today. I've been wanting one for a long time. I hope it's quiet enough that I can sew in the living room while we watch TV.

I always hope that I'll find one of these listed as a "sleeper" (where the seller doesn't know what it is, so no one bids on it).
lol
I found it on Craigslist so I'm picking it up in person. I'm clueless when it comes to bidding on eBay. I bid too soon and then the price sky rockets... ::)

A Meerschaum corn cob pipe since my normal pipe broke
How are you finding this? I usually smoke briarwood pipes, I do have one or two pearwoods in rotation also, and I picked up a set of four genuine (stamped) ivory pipes in an estate auction several years ago that are excellent. I never really liked corncobs very much, they always seem to smoke a little hot for my preference which is why I ask. My favorite pipe is a custom handmade briarwood with a tasteful gold/jeweled inset and amber stem. It sounds more snooty than it is, as it has been well loved and used for many years. It is a creature comfort!
I highly recommend the Savinelli Autograph Series as an entry level pipe, they're not
excessively expensive but they smoke well and set a good measure to compare others to in my opinion. Plus if it ends up being the only pipe you ever buy, you will never regret that purchase.
And... all this talking about pipes, has me looking for a new one. I have just ordered a beautiful looking calabash by Pen'kov... ;D

We found a stray dog today, walking along the highway. Poor guy's got terrible scars all over him, like he was attacked by something. Such a little sweetie, though: very gentle and affectionate. But my aunt absolutely refuses to have another dog, so he's going to a shelter on Monday. :'(

Praelectiones Theologicae de Deo et Divinis Attributis
edit: I think the author is Rev Dr Honoré Tournély, author of several works against the Jansenists, who laboured hard to get acceptance of Clement XI's Unigenitum among French clergy.
ex libris St John's College Waterford (closed 1999, now used as diocesan offices and accomodation for older people)
It is in a fragile state, but it is an original book of systematic theology with 's' shaped like 'f'. Perhaps it might be megalomania, but I could use it to revive my knowledge of Latin, ie take a sentence and parse it. :lol:

Haven't made the purchase, but, looking at a church for sale. Needs work. Has been neglected. Who knows. God may fill it.
On a less interesting note, went goodwilling, bought some very classy boots. Some shoes, 4 skirts 3 sweaters and head scarves for church. All in top condition. Time to clean out the closet. And shrimp at Applebees.

No Salvation Army? My Grandmother is rolling in her grave! She loved that store. She bought her antique Singer sewing machine there. You know, the kind with the foot pedal. I wonder why they closed it. Do you know, MLG? I would think that Fargo is definitely big enough to have a demand for it. Oh, well. Now you have Michigan to look forward to! ;)
I just found a new everything biker online store. Bought a pair of angel wing earrings, a fleur de lis bracelet, and got a sterling silver 'eternity' bracelet for free! I love free!

We have 6 or 7 other thrift shops in the area, between Fargo, Moorhead, West Fargo , etc. I think that maybe there just wasn't enough business or enough donations to sustain the Salvation Army shop.
Would really like to go to the Minneapolis St Paul area- have heard that their thrift shops are excellent.

They were sold as such, but I don't know how old they are. The woman working in the shop said she'd find out from the people who brought them in (it's a co-op, with different people in charge of different "booths."). The second one was described as a "waterfall" buffet, I guess because of the curved top edge and the woodgrain. They're so different from each other! :) I like these better than the china cabinets, because they have larger drawers: perfect for my large stacks of fabric, bundles of yarn, and pieces of faux fur.
Edit: The tiger oak one was built in the 1880s, the guy said, with hand-cut dovetails. The way recall one is from a he 1920s-1940s when that Art Deco style was all the rage. 😊
Smart pieces of furniture.
Taking advantage of some PB specials:
New glasses! Time to upgrade from chipped IKEA.

Welding is good, but welding should be only done when I know how a part works in a state of repair.
I'm fixed up a treadle sewing machine, so welded the pitman rod, problem was I hadn't realised there's a ball and socket joint at one end, which was fixed static by my repair, so it broke eventually. I ordered a fresh one off ebay. Also a pair of track rod ends for the Wolseley, although only one is needed.

Ches, that's almost as exciting as a new house! That thing looks like a hot rod. Can you be trusted with it? I hope so. You will be upright and mobile. I feel so pleased for you, I want to hear all about it. Hope it's easy to manipulate!

Hey! Loud pipes save lives! :wag: That is so awesome Ches! The name is pretty cool too, but it would have been more fun to have named it 'CORPUS Mach 5'. :lol: Do they sell accessories like baskets to put on the back so you can carry the baby, or hooks on it so you can carry the groceries into the house?

I got a fine little book. Franciscan Faith: Sacred Art in Ireland, AD 1600-1750, ed. Raghnall Ó Floinn. It's a booking covering an exhibition of the Francisan collection of religious silver. They included monstrances, chalices, crucifixes, candlesticks, incense boats and thuribles. Some have a demotic look to them. It show how in spite of persecution the Church and the faithful, despite having limited money, tried to craft or buy the best sacred vessels.

Haha not sure about accessories like that I have a lot of gearthat has to be mounted to the back. I usedtowear my son in one of those wrap sling things or a ergo which I can do for sitting but probably not standing my legs are supersore from bearing weight for the first time in a long time but should get used to it

And it was at least selling for cheap in the National Museum, as it's from 2011, well 10 Euro isn't super cheap. I notice some jokers on Amazon are asking for a big pile of money loadsamoney on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Franciscan-Faith-1600-1750-Academic-Monograph/dp/1905569580/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480708655&sr=8-1&keywords=franciscan+faith%3A+sacred+art+in+ireland), but a bit of looking should yield one at the 10 Euro Museum price.

as a Christmas gift for a friend. Last year I bought him a plush Grumpy Cat; I wanted to keep the theme of disgruntled animals going. :lol:
Battlefield One (superb but the singleplayer campaign is really short, but joyriding a tankette and blasting through a base my character should sneak up on is fun), FSSP travel Missale Romanum (a Salesian brother priest found it fascinating, he think it might allow him to offer TLM to the old folks for whom he says Mass), Angelus Press, the Roman Missal (1962) for Mam to sort of make up for earlier in earlier years being careless in handling her missal which had lasted decades, Kindle Voyage (or Paper White?) with 3G, Anker Soundcore speaker for playing from the phone as I'm too indecisive to choose a good sound system for my car. These are a mix of Xmas things for others and stuff for myself (after an interesting period of time).

Lambing now? My aunt and uncle had some lambs a few weeks ago.
Also
Missale Romanun ex Decreto Sacrosancti Concilii Tridentii ResitutumImprimatur: Francis Cardinal Spellman
Publication: 1943 by Benziger Bros
What makes it particularly interesting is that the church or religious house which owned it dealt with the liturgical additions for 1960 (St Joseph added to the Canon of the Mass) by added a few words in biro:'et Beati Joseph Eiusdem Virginis Sponsi.'
Prayerful, not lambing yet. Starts at end of january. Can't wait. Those newborn lambs are Sooo cute.

I know alot of people hate this type of representation of the Angels, but they make me think of heaven right away. This one being the 'Little Drummer Boy' with his lamb says Christmas to me. It's my favorite Christmas cartoon. Even though you can't find it on TV anymore. Anyway, if I start her Seraphim Angel collection now, it will be really nice by the time she gets old enough to enjoy them. I wish I would have found the snow globed one before I bought this one, but we can do that next year! At least this one is about 7 inches tall, so she'll be able to see it well. I hope. 8)

An absolutely HUGE top-of-the-line reproduction German ball-jointed doll body. To go with the absolutely HUGE reproduction German bisque head that I've already had for years (which was incorrectly put on a smaller body by its seller.) Soon it will be properly displayed in all of its glory. ;D I'm planning a blue batiste drop-waisted dress, with tucks, pleats, and lace.

It is a well made book, beautifully done book, but some previous owner appears to have cut all the marker ribbons :o, which means strips of paper or something similar. SLiMG (https://sli.mg) is excellent. I once used Imageshack and still have a large album there, but cannot use it now for new images, unless I register and pay.

I ought to post a picture of my Carhartt coat. I think it's 11 years old and I'm still wearing it in my workshop. Sooner or later random strangers are going to start handing me money whenever I do a quick run to the store after work.
Edit: Maybe I could sell it for $150 to a fashion-forward teenager and get a new one? Hmmm.

Forgot to ask: do you have the blanket-lined one? That's the one I got, and the "blanket" material seems uncomfortably stiff, like thin scouring pad. Any chance it's going to soften up, or should I sell it and go for the quilted version? I was prepared for stiff canvas, not so much for stiff lining.

Well until it softens, wear something under it that doesn't translate the feel of the lining. My hubby and sons have never had a car hart that didn't eventually become quite comfy.
I have two coats. The primary has the quilted, satin liner. That's my old one that I wear everyday. The second was a gift from my parents who evidently got tired of seeing me wearing the old one and that is fleece-lined. It's too nice to trash up in the shop so I only wear it if I'm not working. Neither one is stiff but the fleece version is the softest.
I also used to own one of their shirt jacs (mine was red). It was retired after being destroyed by a few years of working in it. Handling lumber is hard on sleeves. Unfortunately, I don't remember how stiff that one was. I think it was pretty broken in but considering the use I gave it, that's not surprising.

Well until it softens, wear something under it that doesn't translate the feel of the lining. My hubby and sons have never had a car hart that didn't eventually become quite comfy.
The reviews that I read described the lining as "soft". Every time I touch it, I
cringe. I don't understand it: is it impregnated with some kind of chemicals, like fabric sizing? If it wasn't triple-stitched duckcloth with all of those rivets (which I actually appreciate), I would take the lining out and replace it with one of my choice. But this thing might have to end up on eBay (which is where I got it in the first place). :/

Duck cloth chore jacket. I wanted a mid-weight jacket, and wanted one that will last a long time. This thing's bulletproof! :thumbsup: I have every confidence that I'll be able to wear it for at least the next two decades. Carhartt, if anyone's interested.
I ought to post a picture of my Carhartt coat. I think it's 11 years old and I'm still wearing it in my workshop. Sooner or later random strangers are going to start handing me money whenever I do a quick run to the store after work.
Edit: Maybe I could sell it for $150 to a fashion-forward teenager and get a new one? Hmmm.
Carhartt is the best! I received to pair of Carharrt work pants for Christmas :).

I like them but Filson looks interesting too. I've never seen their products in person though and the local Farm and Fleet carries Carhartt which is convenient. They used to have a Sorel coat that was superb but when I went to get one, they'd dropped it from their shelves. I liked the Sorel a little better (heavier insulation) but I've been happy with the Carhartt coat I ended up with. Though it's not as well insulated, it's roomy enough to permit layering.
Sorel boots lasted forever. They still make em?
I think so. I haven't seen them for awhile but noticed the brand while in Canada and the upper peninsula of Michigan a few years back. I think they are too bulky for the fashion-conscious Chicagoan that prefers to shiver while looking cool in form-fitting jackets. Most people seem to dress just warm enough to get between the car and indoors. I wear pretty heavy winter-wear but even that's inadequate for long-term outdoor exposure. I once tried to help an uncle free his car at his rural home. That wind cut through me within minutes and we had to give up and leave. Not much in the way of wind-breaks on harvested cornfield.

Imean in Hillsdale county and that is exactly what we are surrounded with cornfields, wheat fields, soybean fields. Yup, nothing to stop the wind where I am.

It is a well made book, beautifully done book, but some previous owner appears to have cut all the marker ribbons :o, which means strips of paper or something similar. SLiMG (https://sli.mg) is excellent. I once used Imageshack and still have a large album there, but cannot use it now for new images, unless I register and pay.
I've purchased a couple of old prayer books and a Roman Briviary (the all in one volume, all English edition published by Benziger in 1964) that needed new ribbons. Some Catholic supply shops sell replacement ribbon sets but they are also fairly easy to make.
I bought spools of ribbon at Jo-Ann's in different colors (1/4" and 3/8" widths, to suit the particular book). As I am frugal (mom says "cheap") I would wait until the ribbon section was on sale or used my Jo-Ann's 40% off one item to buy a spool, so it took me awhile to assemble the assortment of ribbon colors. With that said a roll of ribbon (6 - 10 yards) is about $3.00.
I then use a "material" that is stiff but not not rigid, white and 1" in width purchased by the length from Jo-Ann's. I "think" it is for "belt lining" but I can't remember what it is called (I will be at the local Jo-Ann's this coming Wednesday and could look if anyone is interested in the item name). I am continuing to search for the ideal "tab" for making a ribbon set but until I find that this material works. I cut a 1" or 1-1/2" length and trim the width if needed. I then tack glue one end of the cut ribbon lengths to the tab. I stitch the ribbons to the tab with my sewing machine but that is probable not necessary if a good adhesive is used, or one could do a single row stitch across the ribbons with a hand needle and thread. To keep the other ribbon ends from fraying I use Dritz Fray Check (available at Jo-Ann's) but a clear drying glue sparsely applied would do the same thing.
Insert the tab into the the spine of the book and it has a ribbon set!

Defiantly, I saw the brand at Ranch and Home in Pasco / Kennewick WA (part of what is known as the Tri-Cities in SE WA) and at Tri-State in Moscow, ID when I was recently shopping for new work boots. I was shopping for a "year round" boot (with room for heavy socks) and I work with dairy cows so I wear rubber slip on overshoes over the boot ... all day in manure is "death" to leather, even with good care and lots of boot cream.

Four silicone cupcake liners and one Pyrex measuring glass - secondhand of course.
Odd thing is, I mentioned that purchase to a woman and she asked what I was going to do with the cupcake liners. A few years ago, I went to a flower shop to buy floral tape and the lady that sold it to me asked what I was going to do with it. Is there something about the way I look that convinces women that I'm not going to bake cupcakes or arrange flowers? Strange.
In case anyone is interested, I'm using the liners as glue pots. Also, I have never arranged flowers.
I got a (really great) mechanical pencil for Christmas, and the giver asked me what I was going to do with it! :lol: He did seem genuinely interested, though, when I told him that I was going to use it to mark the seam lines on my quilt pieces. :P

It works great with epoxy. I mixed up a batch the other day and set aside the remainder after I was done. The next day the lump of cured glue popped right out. Epoxy sticks to just about anything but not silicone rubber. So it ought to work fine with oil paints but I've not tried that yet.
Well, turns out my coffee cups aren't 20 oz after all: they're the piddling 14 oz size. God must be sending me heavy signals to cut down! :lol: I guess I'll just fill them up twice, and enjoy my second cup just as hot as my first, rather than as the lukewarm half of my giant cup. :thumbsup:

Don't tell that to the French. They were livid that Californian wines beat theirs in an international tasting. I'm pretty sure they called for a blind retest but lost again.
But to me it all tastes like alcohol-laced bitter grapes so I'm not sure what the big deal is.

I got that brand just because that what was on the shelves when I went to buy refills for the Wilkenson Sword razor I had. I'd previously gotten the Wilkenson because they had reasonably-priced refills that were made in the USA. But of course, Cheesy-Mart discontinued that razor and only had El Stupido (see image below) in stock. I refused to buy those and grabbed the safety razor instead.

So what I'm saying is that there are probably better quality safety razors than the Van Der Hagen for about the same price if you go to the internet. Some people say it's a bit too easy to get a cut with that one but I didn't have a problem. I'm also used to handling sharp instruments.

Oh, you have no idea. Making the stitching holes (involving pounding a stitching chisel with a hammer to drive the points through the leather) is soooo cathartic. Plus, the stitching. The stitching is so satisfying. :P Plus, this way I only have to pay for materials. The labor is enjoyable, and I get a cheaper, tailored satchel. :thumbsup:

But with only two main compartments: the two back ones will be combined into one huge one (big enough to fit my boots when I change my shoes on Sunday after walking to church), and the front one will hold my tablet and other things. And I'll scale down the overall length and height a little, because all I really need is depth. And I've ordered red thread. For a little pop. ;)

I've drooled over it for a
long time. :P I haven't seen the actual leather yet, but it's tanned the same way, and is undyed like that one (supposedly) is. So I'm hoping that it will be close. Undyed veg-tanned leather is supposed to darken over time, as it's oiled and used. I'm
super excited about this project! ;D I just hope that I can do a decent job of cutting the leather: It's been a while since I've done it.

wow bird. That is wonderful. Sure hope your plans for it can be done to your expectations! What does veg tanned mean...vegetable oil?
From Wikipedia:
QuoteVegetable-tanned leather is tanned using tannins and other ingredients found in different vegetable matter, such as tree bark prepared in bark mills, wood, leaves, fruits, and roots. It is supple and brown in color, with the exact shade depending on the mix of chemicals and the color of the skin.

I like the backpack option. Sometimes while out I would use that. My purse is too small inside. From outside it looks like medium size. But it seems small in size inside.

I realized years ago that I had to have a backpack option. I'm so absent-minded that if my purse isn't attached to me, I'll leave it somewhere. :-[ And backpacks are just so much more convenient when you're out: leaves the hands free. And I'm clumsy, so if it's on my back there's less worrying about whether I'm going to knock something over when I'm trying to move in a small space. And it's just more comfortable for me, which is a big selling point. ;)

When my SIL +RIP+ died last year, someone sent my MIL the name and web address to the company 'To Remember' that does this:
To Remember
http://torememberroses.com/index.htm
My MIL got each of the kids a rosary and each of the grandchildren either a rosary bracelet or a tie tack. It does smell a little bit like roses, but not alot. I had a St Therese rose rosary that smelled like them alot more. It was processed a little different than this. This has a protective coating on it so the beads won't fall apart like they did on my other one. The flowers making these beads are more precious to the person who bought the rosary because of where the flowers came from. I can't think of a better way to commemorate such a passing. Just to add, the bulk of my SIL's funeral flowers were yellow. They try to stay as close to the color of the main flowers unless you specify a different color. The lady who runs the company is super nice. When you call, she's the one who answers the phone and your questions. Can't recommend them enough.

Indeed it is! I didn't even know these existed. I don't remember being taught to use chopsticks. I think I was just handed a pair and left to sink or swim.
Hubby bought me a super bright pink YETI Rambler 30 oz cup. I had no idea he was getting it when he called me and asked if I liked pink & blue, pink & purple, or pink & clear. No amount of coaxing would make him tell me what it was. So I thought well, we are close to Spring and that usually means pastel colors, so I said pink & blue. He comes home with this super bright pink cup and it has a brilliant, almost peacock blue lid. It's really pretty. The cup came with a clear lid, but the blue one has a locking feature on it that you can put in place over the opening you drink from, so it won't spill if it gets knocked over. The lids themselves have a little rubber gasket (?) around them to keep them in place better. He even got me a handle for it. We are going to have to glue it on.
YETI cups are made in such a way that the ice won't melt for days or any hot beverage stays hot for days. Hubby tested his for the ice claim and sure enough, there was a little melting of the ice beginning on the 3rd day. They make all different sizes and even a cooler. I don't know where the man Hubby bought my cup from came up with colored cups. I only saw stainless steel on the website. They will engrave various logos (including sports teams) on them.
They are expensive, but they are going to save us money in the long run and it will keep me from having to drink flat soda in the morning because I hate to throw it out. It will be great for camping and going to the bike rallies.

Hardware for my leather satchel! D-rings and double-loop slides for the straps. I've decided to hold off on the rivets since I don't really know if they'll be necessary. If they are, I can always add them later, I guess. I'll use buckles that I've salvaged from an old, worn out bag, and swivel clips that I already have left over from my last leather project. :thumbsup: I'm SO pleased with how this is turning out! ;D
I picked up a book (well, more books) today... the one I'm most excited for is a biography about my archdiocese's first archbishop, in german, from the late 1880s... :D.
Also got a novena pamphlet for Our Lady of Sorrows.

I picked up a book too, not really bought. The church was emptying their lost property press of missals left behind. I came late, as a quarter hour before Mass. There was just the St Andrew Bible Missal. It was published in 1962. People must have thought it some of NOM missal. Reading the enthusiastic introduction by Cardinal Cushing arch-modernist and persecutor of Fr Leonard Feeney (and probable prime mover in his uncanonical excommunication) that it was some sort of Novus Ordo Daily Missal. 'The Mass of the Catechumens' becomes 'The Assembly Learns.' The Second Part becomes 'The Celebration of the Word' with the 'Epistle' becoming the 'First Lesson,' the 'Gradual' the 'Meditation Song,' and the 'Gospel' the 'Second Lesson.' It is quite the contrast to the 1940 St Andrew Daily Missal which I mostly use. Gone are the detailed exposition of the Faith, including details like the ranking of Feasts, gone too is the beautiful artwork. Now the artwork in the Cushingite St Andrew Missal isn't bad - colour reproductions of medieval art - but it pales in comparison to the artwork in the older Missal, in particular the 'Te Igitur' illustration. One of the most interesting aspects, apart from the 'Novus Ordo' precursors, are the autographs of SSPX priests, from the Superior +Bernard Fellay to L'abbé Dubroeucq and a certain priest who was the subject of a letter by Greg Taylor.
I had a Saint Andrew Daily Missal for a brief period, but I sold it because my vision got so bad. I've always wanted an e-version. :( But I console myself with my PDF copies of The Liturgical Year.

Oh that's terrible. It is just well made, 77 years old and the only problem is that the covering of the boards are a little tatty at ends. Also, a good idea as it has the second Confiteor in the Mass, which is said by the server at all Masses I've heard, be it Diocesan or SSPX, although it is not said by the people, per the rubrics, just the server. The
Liturgical Year is said to be a wonder of the world. All I've read is Dom Prosper Guéranger's
The Holy Mass which is a superb way of learning the Mass and what it means.
My latest antique baby, for my collection (technically bought a while ago, but recently re-strung):
(https://www.suscipedomine.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1078.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fw488%2Fmaezli%2FDolls%2FIMG_1286_zpsmulusmus.jpg&hash=5988dc47d5a0fa5aff9169988fad79fe1db991f6) (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/maezli/media/Dolls/IMG_1286_zpsmulusmus.jpg.html)
This is my first German-style, composition-body doll. She actually came with the head attached to a smaller body, and I had to scour eBay for a body in the correct size and then attach the head to that. The body really needs to be restrung, but I have to work up the nerve to do it! These bodies and heads are surprisingly fragile. :-\ Now the smaller body will be listed on its own, since I have no wish for another compo-body baby, at the moment. I'm planning a 1930s layette for her: undershirt, daygown, "kimono robe" and a little sunsuit with a hat. ;D The latter will be red and blue check, with ruffles. Lots of ruffles. This...should probably go in the Mary Garden, now that I think of it, shouldn't it? :lol:
Picked up a Grizzly G1059 similar to the one below but without the router table. I already have one but a second one is useful to have around. Just need to tune it up, get it ready for dust collection, mount it to a mobile base and install an outfeed table.

1.5" and 2" nylon webbing, for the leather bag's straps. I had considered leather, but I think nylon will be better: lighter weight, and probably sturdier. It's dark red, to match the stitching. ;D

Meant to respond earlier but owning all these tools means people keep asking me to use them! But yes, every tool guy that sees my shop drools over it. It's not so much the tools themselves as it is the way they're setup and easy to access and use. Almost everything I own is refurbished Craigslist stuff or machines that were built by myself or past business associates.

You sound and operate like my son. Every tool has a place on his homemade tool racks. Everything accessible for building or car repair. Our garage is his haven. He took it over when he came back to raise animals and help with the farm. He refurbishes Craigslist items. Buys most good quality tools used. He has a handsome array of tools and machinish type things. Organization is the key to less tension and anxiety. People come to him for everything from car repair to marble and tile installment. He enjoys making bunk beds as much as building a new garage. Never needed anything but word of mouth, with repeat customers. I think you two would hit it off.

No. I don't have a natural ear for music. Though I could learn, I'd have to do everything the slow, hard way which would mean first learning to read music until I could comprehend it as easily as English. Then I'd need to undergo extensive voice-training so I could understand the relation of my own voice to musical notation. Since I don't have a strong interest in music, I don't have enough enthusiasm to spend that much time and money on music-related skills. Also, I'm extraordinarily picky about voices and don't have any interest in song unless performed by the best of the best. Nana Mouskouri, Nathan Gunn, Vitas or Evgenia could probably get my attention (if singing the right song) but anything short of that loses my interest.
An AXYZ CNC router! It's not my dream machine (no auto tool-changer) but it's pretty close and cost a whole lot less. All this time I've spent scouring the country for a decent, used machine and I find out someone 5 miles distant has been wanting to get rid of one for awhile. My homemade machine has been getting worked far harder than it was ever designed to do and the new one should handle the jobs with ease.
This isn't my machine but it's similar.

Not something I bought per se, but acquired. After Mass, Father gave me a set of the Opera omnia Sancti Augustini. He already has the complete works of Augustine (he did an advanced degree in Patristics, concentration on St Augustine), and someone gave these to him, so he passed them on to me. These are old, for the most part in good shape except for some cosmetic damage, and massive, as can be seen by the way they dwarf my Baronius Press Missal.
(https://preview.ibb.co/c9MNva/DSC_0505.jpg) (https://ibb.co/jUAFFa)
The volumes are collected from the editions maintained by the French Benedictines of St Maur (who, sadly, later turned modernist and were suppressed), and were printed in Paris in 1841-42.
(https://preview.ibb.co/fqYfgF/DSC_0508.jpg) (https://ibb.co/gO8D1F)
The paper is definitely used and well-aged, but the bindings are still tight, and the text is still plenty clean.

Interesting Father should happen to give me these right when I was starting to feel a strong attraction to the charism of the Augustinian Canons.....

One of these, although the need now to suppress the Jesuits is different from the time of Clement XIV. Kings drunk on Regalism had suppressed a religious body, in civil law, which did have problems, mostly in the area of causistry, only later to find with the French Revolution that there was no better defence of kingship than a strong Papacy. Alas, that was too late. Jesuits now, from the very top unblushingly utter astonishing heresies against our Saviour. I hope that some can be brought to judgement, so as to be called heretics. Still it is a pleasant commemoration of a very cultured Pope, intellectually well equipped to cope with the errors of the Philosophes.

"Trials of a Translator" by Fr. Ronald Arbuthnott Knox; First Edition (IDK if there were subsequent editions) hardcover, 1949.
This has been on my list for awhile and I picked it up off eBay a couple of days ago when I had a coupon deadline, though I now notice there may be better pricing on Amazon ;D. Anyways, I'm looking forward to reading it.
I am aware that Msgr. Knox is not every Trad's favorite person, and that his translation of the Vulgate (1945 - 1950, prepared at the request of the Bishops of England and W) doesn't pass the Isaiah 7:14 "litmus test". Yet I have admired him on several levels, the son of an Anglican bishop ordained in the C of E, then converting to Catholicism (1917) and being ordained a true priest.
Given the complexity, and one could say the inadequacy, of human language for expressing Divine matters, and also given the occasional "controversies" over the "real" Douay-Rheims (1582 - 1610) vs. Bishop Richard Challoner's revision (1749 - 1752), the Challoner version being the definitive D-R we are familiar with today, I am looking forward to reading about the "trials" of a translator.

Oh, I WANT this! And then I want to go and read the Knox translation of the Bible, after reading this! ;D :grin: I've been thinking a lot about translation lately, having recently come across certain things that really aren't translatable into English, and so having to rely on my knowledge of other languages to help myself to make sense of whether using a word in a certain context in another language would convey my desired meaning. The languages were French and Japanese, if anyone's as interested in details as I am. :lol: :tinfoil: And that led me to considering how different translations of the Bible move us as individuals: how every "language nut" who's familiar with more than one translation, likely has their own "favorite" tidbits that they prefer in one rendition rather than in another. God is
so good to us, drawing us to Himself in this way. :)
But yes, definitely want the book. :thumbsup: Let me know how...
language-y it is, will you, moneil? :) I want to get inside the translator's brain, and listen to him detail all of the considerations that went into
why he picked a certain way of expressing a phrase. (https://www.suscipedomine.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fisheaters.com%2Fforums%2FSmileys%2Ffishy%2Fgimmefood.gif&hash=20c0a064770601a28f131b2a4a5338b114a576f9)

Mgsr Knox provided a very fine and literate translation. The original D-R stuffed as it is with notes in service of Catholic Truth, and with a good deal of carefully translation by Fr Gregory Martin SJ, has merits, but isn't the most readable, or at least less readable than the Challoner revision. It is a shame, though, that the original is a bit hard to find (ChurchLatin.com (http://www.churchlatin.com/) do a facsimile, for example). I hope to get

I did go to Catholic school, although they weren't super heavy-handed. My penmanship has always been mediocre, although I've worked on improving it. I think I was taught Palmer, but my brother had D'Nealian or whatever travesty that was foisted on him, and then I think my youngest brother learned Palmer (educrats ree)
attiret is the one with the pretty penmanship, though ;)

You're not supposed to cook tomatoes in cast iron because it reacts with the acid.
I'll take my chances ;)

There's nothing I have not cooked in my cast iron. This reaction to tomato, does it cause the pan to pit, or change flavor of the food? Well, I've never noticed a flavor change.

I looked it up and you need to season the cast iron well before cooking tomatoes(i.e. don't cook shakshuka immediately after opening the box).
The Roman Missal: The Liturgy for Layfolk, published in London, but what gives it notable interest for me is that this 1935 Missal is nearly identical to my mother's 1961 Roman Missal, except it was Irish published, with the Holy Week, Canon (possibly, never checked for certain) and Calendar changes for 1961. It also had a section 'Prayers in Common Use,' together with Prayers for Confession with the TLM diocesan priest triggering (the military chaplain who hears my confession and absolves wholly in Latin doesn't care tho) suggestion to say the Confiteor as far as 'Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa,' and onetime Irish usages like De Profundis after Mass. It also has the Leonine Prayers after Mass and a pieces on changes for the year of 1961. For some reason the 1935 Missal lacks the Leonine Prayers. It has the same Fr Fortescue introduction (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Fortescue) (some salty Fr Fortescue quotes (http://reidandwrite.com/?p=2049) like 'raving Irishman of the worst type.' Anyhow, neat compact Missal, but annoyingly, I'll have to reinstate the ribbons.

Alright Dymphna is that a new bed for you when you pass out after no sleep? Or will it be a chair. Is it yours and hubby's, or just yours. Will it be so comfy he will have to come tell you to go to bed? Just wondering, because insomniacs really should just stay asleep right where they are, just getting up to get in bed is all it takes to wake you up and not be able to get back to sleep.

Boy did you hit the nail on the head with that one! You are good, Miss Carleen. Truth be told, yes it is a new bed for me. Just mine. He used to wake me up to tell me to at least get on the couch, but then I would be up for days. We learned that it's best not to wake me up. Alot of times he'll shut the lap top off and take my reading glasses off, but that's as far as he will go. Once in a while I'll wake up, but more often I won't. I'll find my way back to my bed someday. ;)

A Missal, fine condition, the pages and tabs of the canon (usually worn even on the better ones) are nearly perfect. German printers were some of the best.

Missale Romanum. The printing and typesetting is the work of Regensberg printer and publishing house
Freidrich Pustet, printer to the Apostolic See. The quality of their work meant they were chosen to print the Typical Edition, the official master copy of the Roman Missal. Benzinger were another printer who produced comparable work. A modern effort like the altar missal published by the FSSP in Thalwil is quite good, but cannot really compare.

It's because they intended the items to last.
I was at an antique book dealer's a few weekends ago w/ a late 1800's DRB, trying to figure it out (when, worth, etc.)
He was showing me the yellowing of the paper (slight) and said it is because they didn't remove all the tannin from the wood pulp for bulk production. He showed me a book that was around 200 years older than the Bible, printed on cotton. Pages white as could be.
Items today are not

No doubt.
But I've been learning more about fountain pens from mid century, and apparently Parker finished the barrels of their flagship pen the "51" on a lathe.
I can't imagine the work put into a pretty common pen (i've read many millions were produced), with that kinda work put into it, being semicheapish. You can't accomplish the same today at a semi reasonable price.

We're going to have lunch with Uncle Ted and the 2A Brass! That includes Sheriff Richard Mack and Kris Kobach speaking as well as KrisAnne Hall speaking via Skype. I can't believe we got tickets. I can't believe all the tickets came in on the same day. I'm so excited!!! Stupid head or really stupid head, I don't care. This bod is going to be there! Maybe we will win one of the raffled guns. That would be the icing on the cake, wouldn't it? No, Ted Nugent playing with Molly Hatchet would be the icing on the cake. Winning one of the guns would be more like getting the cake with the icing and being able to bring it home to eat. It's insane! Thank you God!

Should read "extra fine or fine nib". They are narrow nibs which restrict the flow of ink to a fine line (obviously).

Go on Ebay, and if you take a look you can find something small and inexpensive. I was given a few different small missals by a retired man and fellow Legionary who feared his children will toss them all away when he passes on. Most are Sunday missals but a near small enough 1935
Roman Missal: Liturgy for Layfolks (that was bought myself, but is of the size) is a bit bare (eg no prayers after Mass, and nothing extravagent, earlier version of the Missal my Mam used without issue till 1969/70). A nice small prayerbook is the
Keys of Heaven, which is a small devotional manual with the approbation, as usual for anything Belgian published of the 50s and 60s, of the charismatic +LJ Suenens, author of a fine Life of Ven Edel Quinn. Some claim he was a Freemason, but I'm dubious of the evidence. It has only the ordinary with more emphasis on prayers to say through the Mass. It is in large font. A small daily Missal would need tiny font, c. less than point 10.
Not sure.
@Bernadette I notice some young lady who uses something like that at Mass. However, I haven't found anything satisfactory for Kindle so far. I might pull down something from Archive.org or wherever and make it good for Kindle. iMass with a Kindle screen would be more than adequate, but your thing sounds very useful indeed.
I want a Continuous Daily Missal: Liturgy for the Lazy. 8)

An altar Missal under the approbation of Etienne-Charles de Loménie de Brienne (https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Catholic_Encyclopedia_(1913)/Etienne-Charles_de_Lom%C3%A9nie_de_Brienne) variously aristocrat, priest, Vicar-General, bishop, archbishop, politician bon vivant, Minister for Finance, Cardinal, apostate and suicide (that said, for whatever reason +Loménie de Brienne is named as Stephane-Charles not Etienne-Charles, perhaps some sort of name in religion, but Etienne-Charles and Stephane-Charles seem to be the same prelate). Dated 1774 from his time as Archbishop of Toulouse. The ordinary and canon seem no different, the overall organisation is that of a Roman Missal, but propers seem fairly different, presumably a Use of Toulouse, but I haven't looked too thoroughly. Warily looking through it.
This politician hoped to navigate the Revolution with a mix of vast wealth and political skill, swearing to uphold the condemned Civil Constitution of the Clergy, resigning his Cardinalate after Pius VI condemned his lack of loyalty to the Faith, but not even apostasy saved his life, being found dead one day after.

I have invested in a few cameras lately. A Nikon D3300 with the 18-55mm kit lens and a 35mm f/1.8, then a fully manual Chinon SLR and a Pentax SMC 50mm f/1.7, an old Kodak model 66 mk. II, and my favourite of all of them, a Yashica Mat EM 80mm f/3.5 TLR.
This one is the Yashica:

It's not real silk, but it's so gorgeous that I don't care. Plus, it wasn't the price of real silk, so there's that going for it. And I'll probably feel more comfortable practicing with a lighter weight one, anyway.

I will do so when I can. It takes some time because I have to develop them, then scan the ones worth keeping. I do not have a scanner that would do an acceptable job, so that means sending the negatives elsewhere
I receently bought a 1955 Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It has the Pian psalter, which is a bit awkward in some spots, but fine. It notably has the phrase Concordat cum originali at one of the front pages, meaning it was useable for those bound to recite the Little Office. Very neat find.
A Kleen Kantee, with a sport top, after breaking yet another clumsily designed plastic waterbottle by dropping it on a tiled floor. It broke in exactly the same place as the first one. Think I've discovered that bottle's weak spot. :P Anyway, the Kleen Kanteen was less than the price of those two bottles combined, since I bought it on Ebay. Yay! ;D And its color (turquoise) isn't hideous, so that's a plus.

don't laugh, but I love working with the weedeater and power washer. For some reason I find it fun.
I just received my Rock Solid platform vibration machine (tremendous discount) to pair with swimming regimen. Training for Masters.
ordered ground coffee, fresh fruit, yogurt from amazonwhich came yesterday . The flowers are supposed to get here tomorrow What a time to be alive.
i had my son fill up this big container with water,measure everything to make cold brewed coffee it sat overnight, then he poured it through the coffee filter and now we have a little bottle of coffee concentrate for him to make my wife an iced coffee when she wakes up.
Then heisgoing to make something with the fresh fruit andyogurt so mywife can have breakfast in bed for mothers day. Hopefully he doesn't pour cofffee everywhere and make a big mess. I've done this with him the past few years for mothers day. When we started doing it, when he was maybe 3 or so, I was able to do a lot of the work. Every year I have lost physical abilities and he has gained them. this year, I had to rely on him to do everything that involved picking things up opening, pouring, grasping. so basically everything.
So charming and sweet!

Oh, yes. I had heard of those from the news and saw one not too long ago. They look fun.
Since I was pointed out to be a turgid rule breaker and self conscious dolt by a seemingly faultless regular poster here, I will go ahead and assuage further said poster's unctuous persona by showing off this purchase of mine:
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00HNU38H2?tag=amz-mkt-chr-us-20&ascsubtag=1ba00-01000-s1060-def00-other-smile-us000-pcomp-feature-scomp-wm-4
And due to my inherent and insufferable shortcomings, I am not even going to provide a translation.
Seven or eight years ago I made a false economy with a mild steel exhaust system. It broke just after the baffle, and I see no good in repair. Stainless steel (http://www.bmcfarina.com/contents/en-uk/p602_Exhaust_System_(Stainless_Steel).html) it is now. £300 including fitting kit and shipping is fine. Lucky too I found a badge on Ebay, as NTG don't have it (http://www.bmcfarina.com/contents/en-uk/p584_Badge_Lamp_'Wolseley'_Used.html%5B/url) and most on Ebay were asking silly money (£80 before shipping), but found someone who sold a badge as mounted decoration for £25, and bought it.
Also Raccolta x 2. I found a copy of The New Raccolta (https://archive.org/details/TheNewRaccolta) on archive.org. I downloaded a pdf version and put it on the Kindle. PDF might be inflexible in some respects, but it captures the look of the original. Also, prayers like the Prayer of St Francis Xavier for the conversion of the infidels (pg 51) seem to be replaced by less strident prayers further on in later version of the Raccolta, speaking of which I got a copy of The Raccolta: a manual of prayers and devotions enriched by Indulgences from 1957. This is a reprint by St Athanasius Press (http://www.stathanasiuspress.com) (dead url), and is a straight copy. Wonderful, but prayers for the conversion of infidels are sorely needed while the sectaries of the demon Allah and his minion and demoniac Mohammed assail the peoples of the world, believer and unbeliever alike. Moslems must have seemed so peaceable in 1957.

I bought a 1961 Maryknoll Missal from someone in the SSPX Facebook group. The rubrics for the ordinary, itself a clean and thoughtful piece of design, makes mention of a commentator, someone who was used at a point in the sixties to provide translation and commentary at points of the Mass. I recall Fr Cekada stating that his father had that task. Thankfully, no hermeneutic of continuity enthusiast has attempted to revive this paraliturgical post. Also a Book of Common Prayer from 1916. Even before their liturgy and church furnishing was heavily influenced by Concilium[, prayers like the shortened 'Confiteor' show how closely Protestant liturgies and the Novus Ordo Missae really are. Protestants must have had good eyesight too. :lol:

What ^^she said^^!
It's not a completely done deal yet, we went to KC yesterday to check out a discount appliance "store" that specializes in scratch and dent items. It's all basically marked down to about half. We pulled up to a non-descript tin building that had the address written out on the lower portion on the left side of it. Other than that there was no way to know this was an appliance center. We had satan's breath for weather so we were hoping and praying this place had air conditioning almost as hard as we were hoping it wasn't one of those, "Yeah, it fell right off the back of the truck" stores, if you get my drift. We walked into a pleasantly cool building. Hubby's protoge's Grandmother got an $1800 refrigerator for $600. They charged another $120 for delivery (it's about a 60 mile drive one way) and installation. This one is of those 4 and 1/2 door LG stainless ones. It has a little scratch up by the top in the back and the handles were scratched up. They replaced the handles so unless you turn it around, you would never know anything was wrong with it.
I do have a question for you all. Have any of you had any experience with LG appliances? I have only had LG electronics which seem to be pretty good, but I've neither had, nor known anyone with an LG appliance. Once Hubby gets his first school bus driving checks here in a few weeks, we plan on going back but with a trailer this time.

I'm walking around barely shod in some cheap glued-construction women's brogues that I picked up for 5 EUR at a Berlin flea market ages ago, though, so I don't feel so bad.
I also need a pair of cycling shoes—my wife threw out my disintegrating knock-off hand-me-down Converse. (I ride an old Reynolds 531 French racing bike with cages, which aren't too friendly to nice shoes. Very hipster. I don't drive.) I'm strongly considering these:

I bought a 'traveler's notebook' and some fancy paper book inserts.
Sent off all the roses from the wedding we went to last Saturday to have them made into a rosary as our gift to the newlyweds. It should be beautiful being made from 18 big pink roses. I've got a pink one that was made from the flowers we got from my Mom's +RIP+ funeral last year and a yellow one made from the flowers from my SIL's +RIP+ funeral last year.

Nice! That leather, though, huh?! I got mine from a company called chic sparrow. Their quality is outstanding. I use it for my daily planner. I have a 12 month calendar insert; a blank insert that I use for daily appointments, to-dos, and memory keeping (things the family and I do; funny things the kids say; stuff I think it would be fun for them to go back and read). Behind those, I have an insert for a running to-do list (things I think of that need to be done, but not necessarily that day); and one for random notes/lists. I also have a cheap, fabric one I got that I keep my prayer inserts in, for taking notes on spritual books, scripture, prayer intentions, quotes that I like, and a gratitude journal.
I'm a crafter, so a lot of my inserts are handmade, but I've bought some, too.
I got a Koran.

LOL. But seriously: to know what Islam believes, one must know what its sources say. It is coming to us, even if we would rather it did not. Evangelicals, to their credit, put considerable effort into studying it. its sources, and into evangelising its adherents. Maybe the Church simply does not publicise these things, but I am not aware of any comparable effort among Catholics. Do Catholics want to be ignorant of and defenceless against a zealously missionary Islam ? As Islam becomes stronger in the West, its preaching will become ever more visible. Muslims have souls to save, and they need Christ as much as we do.
So... yes and no. Islam is much more varied than monolithic. Not only does the Quran matter, but also the Hadith (the traditions of the life of Muhammad). Reading just the Quran is sort of like an Atheist reading just the Bible with no mind of the Tradition of the Church -- and worse, not even in Chronological order. Different schools will interpret things differently. The Quran is not coherent, either, and one has to follow scholars in order to understand its order, and how to interpret things, since it is not in a chronological order but is longest to shortest.

Oddly enough, Acts 17 Apologetics is a good source, as they delve into both the Quran and Hadith.

"Do Catholics want to be ignorant of and defenceless against a zealously missionary Islam ?" Being knowledgeable, consistent, and strong in my own Faith, the One, True, Faith is much more important and a greater defence against any zealous Islamic "missionary". Are you strong enough in your own Faith to be absolutely positive that ingesting the evil that is in the Quaran wouldn't adversely affect you? Are you planning on going into mosques and "preaching the Word"? The problem with the Catholic church right now is that converting the non-Catholics of the world has been mocked and discouraged by the very hierarchy whose job it is to take care of such things. The failure is theirs but that doesn't make it your job.
It doesn't matter if Evangelicals know alot about Islam. They don't have the True Faith either. So any conversions are just from one wrong religion to another. Yes, Muslims have souls to save, as do atheists, buddhists, Hindus, Jews, etc. Will you be learning all about all those religions as well?
So know your Faith, live it, and be ready to talk about it when asked. That is where the conversions will come from.
The Koran and its exegeses are carnal and frankly boorish texts. I can stomach much of Avicenna and Averroes, though.

Acts17 are very good. I've watched a lot of David Wood's videos. He refers to both Quran and the hadiths - usually Bukhari, sometimes one of the other collections. I've often wondered which Koran he uses. I wish there were a Catholic equivalent of Acts17Apologetics.
I think the Koran is more impressive than some give it credit for being, if a bit too fond of threatening ppl with Hellfire. It's confusing that some Catholics stress the variety in Islam, whereas others, no less well-acquainted with it, emphasise its violent and aggressive aspect. My impression is that many of the criticisms made against Catholicism are also made against Islam, and that the cryptic, Protean character ascribed by some to Catholicism is also ascribed to Islam.
Needed some over-the-calf socks for myself and the missus (I can't stand mid-calf socks that always fall down, and unfortunately all my socks are disintegrating), so I bought these with a 20% discount referral and a free tenth pair

Depends on one's interests, I suppose :) Avicenna is one of the many authors I would like to read. And Averroes. On a related note, reading the Fathers & the mediaevals on Genesis 1 is a very good way of defending oneself from both atheist mockers, and Fundamentalists.
It seems we are the proud new partial owners of a T-Bird II! Woo Hoo!!! The video of it seen below, was taken 4 days ago. I don't have any pictures right now but will soon. Thankfully the weather has cleared enough for it to be flown home. The guys were bummed out when they saw the storms rolling in when they left this morning. They thought they were going to have to find a trailer big enough to haul it and then go back down. But God was good to them and made the clouds disappear for a little while. It should be in the hanar by 6:00 pm.

YES!!! That's the reason they bought a 2 seater. Now Hubby won't have to have a heart attack or run down the runway holding the wing so I don't accidently take off. Poor guy. This way he'll be able to teach me and the guy that went in on it as well. Then he'll let me fly the Weedhopper. Come on down and he'll teach you too! How fun would that be?

Impressive. Very. Was that its maiden flight ?
Hubby just sent me some pictures. Bill (the man flying it home) took off about 20 minutes ago. He'll have to make 1 stop to fill up with gas. It should only take him a little over 2 hours to get home. I'm so excited!! You would be able to go for a ride in this one, Carleen.
Misericonfit, no, that was just the flight they posted with the "For Sale" ad. There were 2 men that owned it and the one that flew it the most died last year. The man that was left with it put it up for sale because he got into flying helicopters. The plane was just sitting around so this guy decided to sell it.
It's got a 32ft wingspan

So my brother-in-law got back from the States and brought my shears and a bunch of tailoring supplies (horsehair canvas, viscose satin and bemberg lining, thimbles, a hip curve, beeswax, silk thread, proper buttonhole twist and gimp, a pair of 4" japanese embroidery scissors, triangular tailor's chalk, and a few other notions) with him (I'm having to build up my supplies from scratch here in Australia). $34 for these beautiful German carbon steel shears, which weigh about 1 2/3 lb, is a steal. The thimbles are not the best thing in the world, but the price was right. (Why is it so difficult to get a proper open-ended thimble? What's even the point of those ubiquitous silly closed-top ones?) I got it to fit snug in the end by grinding off 1/8 inch.

How'd you learn to tailor?

How'd you learn to tailor?
Self-tuition mainly (along with some supplemental informal guidance from experienced tailors). I started with Cabrera and Hostek, then moved on to Whife's
Art of Garment Making and 1960s issues of the
Tailor and Cutter. I've been doing it since we used to chat on FE, though I've been on a bit of a hiatus of late; my cancer wife needed some new clothes, and since I didn't want her wearing some shit wool-blend thrift-store get-up and business has been going good I thought I'd get back into it. I'm not happy with my coats yet, but I'm thinking about training up and hiring some smart literary kiddos from church to take up some of my editorial work and if I can sell a couple of my translations, I've got a pal who's keen to learn bespoke cutting and tailoring and may be keen to start a small outfit with me next year if we spend say 30 hrs/week practicing.
In other news, I bought some stuff from Kent (highly recommended, wonderful prices)

Though it feels good to spend money for a change and while the things I've bought in the last couple of weeks are excellent value, I'm starting to feel my jew blood welter, so that's probably that for a while—in Venice we were subsisting on half-price pig hearts for almost two years.

After several times of our little pudge-munchkin sinking like a rock in the bathtub, instead of floating gracefully like we once saw on a YouTube video, we decided something had to be done. Enter the Summer Infant Deluxe Baby Bather. It was an immediate improvement to the baby bathing experience. Gone were the frantic moments of searching under 257 bath toys amidst 1 foot of soapy foam bubbles. He just lays there, smiling -- more importantly, breathing air -- as we gently scrub him with a gentle wash cloth and tears free body wash/shampoo. Forsaking gurgling for giggling, I cannot recommend this product enough.

Frigidaire. Old fashioned coil burners. Don't have gas hook up, which is the type I really wanted. Hate the glass top flat burner type and found this oldie, so went with it. If a burner quits working, I can just buy a new one. Looks like the old fashioned one mom had. I love gas stoves, but had to get electric.

That is so frustrating when you know what you want but can't get it. Hubby pulled a fast one when he got our dishwasher. I had done all the research, looked high and low, then looked high again. I finally settled on the one I wanted and found it on sale. Hubby went to get it and came home with a piece of crap because it was cheaper. It was cheaper for a reason!! So now we are stuck with a piece of crap that basically just runs as a sterilizer. He learned the hard way that sometimes you get what you pay for.
I'm glad that you were able to find something electric that you liked. I love my glass top stove. And having a 6.2 cu ft oven is awesome! Now I just need alot of people to cook for. :lol: Do you like to cook?

I love to cook and usually have plenty to cook for. Party house, remember? Wednesday is a big one. Lots of cooking, cleaning and clean up! But, it will be fun. Will have a few seminarians and our parish priest out. Much beer, wine, and mixed drinks. Pork loin on the grill, along with lamb brats and burgers. Salads, desserts, you name it. It will be here. Having the choir, friends and probably a few strangers too.

I so long for a gas range! Maybe one day, but we aren't set up for it here, either. I have the electric, glass stove top, and while it's nice for cleaning, it is harder to replace the burner. I've had one out for years now.

Frigidaire. Old fashioned coil burners. Don't have gas hook up, which is the type I really wanted. Hate the glass top flat burner type and found this oldie, so went with it. If a burner quits working, I can just buy a new one. Looks like the old fashioned one mom had. I love gas stoves, but had to get electric.
That is so frustrating when you know what you want but can't get it. Hubby pulled a fast one when he got our dishwasher. I had done all the research, looked high and low, then looked high again. I finally settled on the one I wanted and found it on sale. Hubby went to get it and came home with a piece of crap because it was cheaper. It was cheaper for a reason!! So now we are stuck with a piece of crap that basically just runs as a sterilizer. He learned the hard way that sometimes you get what you pay for.
I'm glad that you were able to find something electric that you liked. I love my glass top stove. And having a 6.2 cu ft oven is awesome! Now I just need alot of people to cook for. :lol: Do you like to cook?
I love to cook and usually have plenty to cook for. Party house, remember? Wednesday is a big one. Lots of cooking, cleaning and clean up! But, it will be fun. Will have a few seminarians and our parish priest out. Much beer, wine, and mixed drinks. Pork loin on the grill, along with lamb brats and burgers. Salads, desserts, you name it. It will be here. Having the choir, friends and probably a few strangers too.
. Never had brats before but sounds interesting with vlamb arent they like hot dogs
Brats are similar to a very large sausage link. Hotdogs are more processed. Brats can be flavored anyway you want them, beer, italian, regular sausage seasoning, maple, smoked, .... They are served on a larger than hot dog bun. They are cooked in water before frying or grilling.They are delicious if you like brats. Most brats are pork, and the lamb ones do taste like lamb. Whether your lamb is pleasant tasting or not has everything to do with your pasture mix. We have great success with alfalfa, clover and Timothy grass. The meat is mild and tender in the young lambs, and a bit more sheepy in the older ones, still good, still tender, but stronger tasting. Lamb burgers are wonderful.
Wife has wanted some velvet slippers for a long time, thinking of getting these in burgundy and navy leather lining:

with this motif, instead:

ETA: Broadland is highly recommended for a good-priced custom slipper. Even with shipping, since they deduct the 20 percent VAT, they come out far cheaper in Australia than purchasing in the UK
I also want to get her a bridle leather satchel but haven't been able to find one at an affordable price from a respectable maker—the offerings from the Cambridge Satchel Company and the Leather Satchel Company, while aesthetically decent, seem like they're cut exclusively from inferior leather, and hence somewhat overpriced (plus, I'm not a fan of "trendy" companies, Septième Largeur notwithstanding). Any ideas?

I'll bet you are fascinating to have as a neighbor. I'd be wishing there was a real way to do that mind meld thing that Mr Spock could do on Star Trek or Star Wars or one of those shows. Then it wouldn't be so bad sitting there trying to have a conversation with me. :laugh: Anyway, there seems to be a never ending supply of fascinating things from you. Thank you for keeping things interesting.

Does it work? I hope so, but if it doesn't, I just came across a really neat idea for using the case, a few weeks ago. Some people turned it into a sink in their bathroom.

Bird, that looks like the machine my mom had, and boy, she sewed her little heart out on it. Made wedding dresses, prom dresses, clothing of all types for me. Her sewing room easy in a spare bedroom. I remember just laying on the bed talking and talking while she sewed. What a happy find that is!

Cheeky. All I know is that the synthetic glue jobs that most women ooh and aah over are a rip off—a finely lasted goodyear constructed full-grain leather shoe is infinitely preferable. Incidentally, these are actually one of Carmina's ladies models—the Yanko two-tone balmorals I bought her last month are actually "men's" boots, though.

Beautiful. I've never tried a treadle-operated machine. I imagine it requires more choreographing to achieve consistent results than on an ordinary industrial straight-stitch machine.

My maternal grandmother'smachine is in the greenhouse, bought in 1926 for IR£3, and would be that barring the art on the machine and the woodwork. It was just put outside to rust by her daughter-in-law, rescued, but freeing it up is hard: steel and cast iron together are risky things to manipulate, came close to shearing part of it.

I'm so very happy for you (but I bet you are even happier!!!).
My socks came a couple of days ago, and they are truly splendid! Now I will exclusively wear Viccel socks. Though I had only ordered 10 pairs (the tenth was free), they sent me an eleventh free. I highly recommend them for affordable over-the-calf socks in pure long-staple cotton. If anyone's interested, you can use this link https://www.viccel.com/?RefSite=styleforum for a 20 percent discount.

I bought pants and some socks.
Got a pair of boots and a pair of slip on tennies. Still have to have someone tie my shoes, so that's easier all around. Memory foam sketchers. The boots are to go with skirts, but rather low, not over calf. Nice.
And we may be shopping for a new car :(

I can't believe someone would pay good, hard-earned cash for.....roaches! :lol: Those things don't live to see another day in my presence ;)
May I borrow Stark? Just for a few days. Crickets like my basement. My dog would not hurt another animal, but he does love baby rabbits sometimes to death.

200 roaches for my bearded dragon
Eeeeeewwwwww! Do they have to be alive when you put them in the critter keeper (I don't know if bearded dragons have aquariums or cages for homes)? Would he eat sprickets?
They are alive. I have a vivarium with Front opening doors. Crickets are OK, but dubia roaches are much better. Stark loves them with blueberries.
I can't believe someone would pay good, hard-earned cash for.....roaches! :lol: Those things don't live to see another day in my presence ;)
They are not typical cock roaches. A different species almost. They are not as gnarly as one would think.
http://www.southtexasdragons.com/dubia-roaches.html
Have you considered getting some younger ones, and then just breeding them so you don't have to keep paying for them?
Or would that be cockroach fraud? :huh:
oh my gosh.....y'all. Never in a million years did I think I would be part of a conversation where someone was encouraging another person to breed roaches :ack: They're all the same....disgusting; I don't care if it is a dubia ;) Once, when I was 9 months pregnant for my first baby, I woke up in the middle of the night to a roach skittering across my pregnant belly. *shudder* I will say this, though, Heinrich...if those bearded dragon things like to eat roaches, I might want one for my boys' to have as a pet ;D
Bought a new front end for my car. Semi sheered off all the cosmetics from the Jeep cherokee. :(

Heinrich, don't know much about cars, but the only issues we've had with the Cherokee are ones we created. And they are great in the snow, true.

Some sort of semi-interesting things, a portable 1846 Roman Missal, neatly designed but little ornament, with a memorial card of one Julie Alice Brignoli Shore, born 1872 Lisbon, died 1922 in Staines, marking the Mass for the dead, and something called
My Catholic Comparison: a handbook of daily devotions and a new simplified missal, 1961, which is better than it sounds. Nice leather cover and b/w photo illustrations of how to serve Mass with a
Modernist (the architectural style not heresy) altar, a sort of architectural and liturgical conjunction very much of the '50s and '60s, good precis of Catholic doctrine and the usual devotion neatly laid out. The simplified missal has the ordinary with Epistles and Gospels separate, but the propers are replaced with generals meditations. Accompanying it are brashly colourised pictures of an old priest offering Mass assisted by younger priest.

For one thing, this will be bound to traumatize guys with gender dysphoria (aka the "transgenders"), yet it will be a crucial message that they need to hear. That being said, I have seen countless men getting so psychologically distressed by (compulsory) army life up to the extreme extent whereby they beg officers to be eternally discharged. They just have to dress as a lady & bam, they are free. (& then the entire LGBT gang celebrates their release.)
Anyway, I recently bought this.

<eyes bugging out> Carleendiane is right as usual! ServusMariae, please, details on the sword?! CD, can you please explain about your sons swords too? :)
I've begun lessons with a plain ole sabre, but I envision I'll stick with it, since the rules of engagement are a little different (much faster and robust interaction). What does it say about me as a Catholic that I enjoy both the offensive and the battle?! lol

I hate to impose on your time, but have you read the copies before? Ranking, in your humble opinion?
Also, brief description of the cheese making kit? More so, how you selected the one you purchased (i.e., good reviews?)
I make turo b/c it's so darned easy. I'm thinking of branching into other cheeses, but most are difficult by my amateur ability and time limits. Perhaps the kit will help :)

I have read both before. I have a vintage copy of Brother Petroc's Return and had previously borrowed a reprinting of The Chronicles...
They're lovely books and in the order of fiction, are grand.

Warhammer 2 Total War a few days ago & The Westminster Missal: (Missale ad usum Ecclesie Westmonasteriensis). Useful stuff like a Rite of Coronation. 8)

Per, I know nothing about the swords other than they were real. Real heavy, lol. The guys took them with them. They even had one of those weapons with a long handle, ball with spikes on it! Can't remember what they called it. No plastic in their collection, :rofl:
I acquired more books. Some catholic texts, along with some Sunday missals and prayer books. It's been a good couple of weeks.

Bought hours of studio time, musicians, and video, for the recording of "EXODUS". A rather big production, using all the best available. I've heard the finished recording, but haven't seen the video yet.

Wait, what?
I presume you've discussed this previously and I missed it!
Can you elaborate? Maybe start a new thread here or in General?
Per, I've been posting his music, from time to time in arts and leisure. He is a master harmonica player. Not for hootennanny music, but for seriously complex pieces. He plays two, not as two, but as a forty note instrument. He has developed a new method for playing the diatonic so it can play lead instead of being only embellishment. The sound is rich and soulful, but not tinny. It is rich as a sax, and can copy piano, or other reed instruments ( of course piano is not a reed instrument). He has a couple CD's out, numerous youtubes, and is opening a school for teaching this.

Now, the key is to keep wearing the old one so that the new one remains nice.
I drove my wife crazy for awhile because I had some new clothes that I refused to wear until the old ones were worn out. Saves money.
The old one has been officially demoted to a cat blanket. She loves it. So it's still being used. ;)

e-Books are no books at all. They have no history or smell, no tactile communication of their wisdom as they hold your heart while being held in your hand, as one might hold the hand of the grandparent who tells stories of their youth. No hope for the future as one might hold the hand of an infant. They are sterile in all things but data. There is no comparison.

yep, for 2 bucks I get all sorts of quality stuff from Japan (albeit most of the products are made in China, with the exception of certain origami papers, original toys, pouches, Japanese cultural items & foodstuff - the latter is directly imported from Japan, & they're yummy. ^-^)
I so wanna go to the Dollar Tree!! & I don't care if I gotta spend double the price - as long as it's value for money!!!

Missal 1754. Those photos are a bit, but it's interesting. A bit fragile on some pages of the Canon, but that's usual, unless the Missal were never or rarely used.

Thanks. Beautifully tooled cover, solid clasps, and a style of illustration characteristic of the time. Tomorrow, in a sort of calendar quirk that happens of a time, tomorrow is the sixth Sunday after Epiphany, passed over this year. It has the propers printed for those passed over Sundays printed immediately after the 24th Sunday after Pentecost. It must have eased the life of some Venetian priest a little not to have to place ribbons throughout the Missal - tomorrow will be little bit more fiddly with the hand missal. And the Holy Mass deserves nothing less than the best.

Thanks. Beautifully tooled cover, solid clasps, and a style of illustration characteristic of the time. Tomorrow, in a sort of calendar quirk that happens of a time, tomorrow is the sixth Sunday after Epiphany, passed over this year. It has the propers printed for those passed over Sundays printed immediately after the 24th Sunday after Pentecost. It must have eased the life of some Venetian priest a little not to have to place ribbons throughout the Missal - tomorrow will be little bit more fiddly with the hand missal. And the Holy Mass deserves nothing less than the best.
Prayerful, we sent our Bible to have the inside cover refurbished. That was all that was needed. All the artwork throughout is awesome. Most are pen and ink, but also some colored artwork. Copyright is 1878. 140 years old, but very sound. Douhey Rheims. Just as your beautiful Missal is the best for Mass. My bible seems so noble and dignified for the WORD of GOD. :) You know, we are very blessed to have these treasures. By the way, our Bible cover is beautifully tooled leather, like your missal.
Next up in the "Christmas presents for my mom" department:

I'll be ordering it soon.
Replacement ribbons (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Leather-Missal-Covers-Replacement-Bookmark/dp/B01LY85GLJ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1511648069&sr=8-1&keywords=missal+ribbons#) from Leather Missal Covers (http://leathermissalcovers.co.uk/) are handy, fast service. Probably a very predictable service, but fast and good quality, and they definitely focus on Catholics.

Just beautiful, Carleen! (I hope you don't mind my inlining Her image!)
Oh, Non, thank you. Don't mind one little bit. I tried to copy picture, but just got the link. So I am glad you did this!
Very nice! I'd love to have something like that, but with our 2 (and who knows how many more in the future) rambunctious little fellows, it would be a situation that would give iconoclasts glee. Starting to wonder if Dominic is going to be a Marine, he's so adept at causing chaos.
We raised our Littles and have our Grand children over and my Jesus, 4ft, has not suffered an injury yet. God willing it will be the same with Mary! A little Marine, huh? I live with a big Marine who can still cause chaos! ;) God bless your little ones, Gardener!

Baldacci now finished, just working on building an appropriate stand, which will merely be covered with an end table cloth covering.
Next month we buy as a similar type statue with Joseph and baby Jesus, from same company. Josephs face is very traditional, but he looks possibly in 40's instead of 60's. It is also very beautiful, maybe better captured than Mary's statue. :huh:

maybe he and my 6 year old can train together ::) that kid is tough as nails. It's very frustrating sometimes, though I know it will serve him well in life, if his conscience is well-formed. Anyway, you'd be surprised at how kids just get used to their surroundings. At first, they mess with new stuff, but eventually, the 'newness' wears off, and they go about their business as if the object doesn't exist at all. It's kind of like how my own house is baby-proofed for my own kids, but no one else's. And, everyone else's house is seemingly baby-proofed to them, until an outsider shows up with a different baby than their own. So, if you really want a statue like that, go for it! Who knows...those boys might end up thinking of whichever person you get a statue of as one of their greatest friends.
Wow! That is a beautiful statue Carleen. Merry Christmas to you! If you ever need a safe space for her, we would be happy to take her for as long as you need. ;)

I did a cyser (mead, but instead of water I use apple juice with the honey) and a hard cider. I had to place the cider in a 6.5 gal carboy for secondary and didn't like the amount of headspace. Turns out 1k marbles ain't much. Only raised the headspace by 1.5", so I ended up adding more apple juice. It will likely raise ABV when the yeast eats the sugars (which is beneficial as it will push the oxygen out through the airlock), but I'd rather have more of an apple wine than oxidized junk.

Thanks. I trust your insights. However, to be honest and clear, I have not nor will I get my carry permit. The 43 is for tactical placement in the home. As is the Schockwave.

I am confident in my H2H, blade, (leather) belt, etc. skills in personal self defense more than with a firearm. Active shooter in public, yeah, I would not be effective. But this being CS, someone 'll have a hero trigger.

21 yr. Old just took training for conceal carry. Now begging dad for an extra pistol dad has. Being a motivated little dude, he will have one very soon. As with anything, if he deems it necessary, he will figure a way to get one and I guarantee it will be a step up from dad's. This kid can do anything he puts his mind to. Earns enough to raise a family. He will be all set when the right one makes her way toward him! :) ;)

I don't know what a single stack is. But it comes with 6 capacity clip + 1 in chamber. I have two extensions to bring it up to 9.
The bullets aren't staggered as in a 14 round clip.

(https://www.pewpewtactical.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/single-stack-vs-double-stack.jpg)
43 is single. The 26, 19, etc. are all double stack. double = more ammo in a magazine, but the offset is the profile is larger.
One of the downsides of the 26 is its double stack mag combined with short mag well make it feel weird in the hand. Hence, the 42 and then the 43.
Wasn't the Mauser 98' the first to use a staggered magazine? Gotta love German engineering

Last image is from a blog post, and a commenter says the text is an orphan as no one owns the copyright now, but will only enter the public domain in 2031 (http://www.catholicbiblesblog.com/2016/05/douay-westminster-bible-1958.html).
Got The Holy Bible: The Old Testament in the Douay Text, The New Testament and Psalms in the Westminster Text, published 1957 for little or nothing. Now this Westminster Text, a translation from the Hebrew of Fr Cutherbert. Lattey SJ (died 1954), is far from the dreary, flat modern(ist) translations, but the Psalms in Douay-Rheim-Challoner (the introduction clearly described the original Douay text as 'succeeded by Bishop Challoner's revision') are more stirring, particularly for Psalm 129. Apparently, no full Westminster Text ever appeared.

I finally got some new quilling tools! I've got a couple of projects I want to get done before some August birthdays. Now they will be even better.
I'm so happy to get this little gem! I got my last one as part of a Home-Ec class in......wait for it..........the 7th grade!!!! I'm terrible about hanging on to things. This tomato is an over sized one so it will accommodate the longer pins I use for quilling. I thought they only came in a yucky orange yellow color but thought the size was worth the yucky color. I was pleasantly surprised to get a pink one!
(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4628/39802082381_b51d6233b4_n.jpg)
This is a pic of all the new stuff together. I don't know why they made most of it in Barbi pink, but as long as it does the intended job, I don't care if it looks like a child's toy.
(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4769/39110287024_aedac8866e_n.jpg)
Looking at the pic and going left to right is;
A quilling comb - you make a loop, glue it together on the bottom rung, then wrap the paper going up to the next rung that you want, creating what they call a husk. There are a couple of examples in the middle.
A paper crimper - It will make 2 different sizes. It's nice to be able to add some different texture to a piece. That's the benefit of paper fringer as well.
A ruler and curling coach - These have the marks of a ruler but have different sized holes so that when you get done curling a strip of paper you can set it one of these holes, let it unwind to the size of the hole and then glue it and shape it. This helps all of your pieces to be the same size.
A quilling board - You set the pins to the size and shape you are looking for, then wrap the paper around the pins in the fashion you want and glue. It's alot easier than trying to use straight pins in a cork board, which is the way I've always done it. Learn it the hard way and then find the easy way seems to be my motto. :lol:
3 sets of different tweezers and a new quilling slotted needle tool - I didn't know they made reverse style tweezers! How could I not know about a treasure like this before?! It's another set of hands! The other 2 are awesome as well. The curved pair picks up crystals, rhinestones and small pieces of paper strips which comes in really handy.
Not shown is a new glue bottle that has a needle nosed dispenser top for glue. This way you don't have to use so much of it and it doesn't get all over everything. I've had to redo so many pieces over the years because glue got all over the initial piece of paper. So this will be fantastic to use. I'm so excited!
(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4659/39806721961_948328ebff_n.jpg)
This just gives you an idea of what these things do

I am working on a piece for Hubby's Protege's birthday in August. I'm tempted to start all over with it now that I have a way to make all the circles start out the same size. Gotta make up my mind!

seeds for my spring garden! I'm hoping to get some started indoors, so as temps warm up soon, they'll be ready to go into the ground. Husband (and some of the older kids) built me a couple of raised beds this weekend. I plan to get kids to help me get some composted dirt in them this week, and start getting prepped for spring. I also got a couple of planting trays to try micro-greens. Anyone ever grow those? I just read about them over the weekend, and it gave me the bug. I've never been terribly successful at gardening, and yet, I keep throwing seeds in the ground, anyway. What's that definition about insanity again?? Something about doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results. #whatever :whistling: ::) :pigeons:

Catching up on this thread.
Coincidentally, we're looking to replace our Glock (sold when we moved out of the US, now moving back), and a Mossberg is on the wish list. I've been training (not too much lifting tho lol), so I think I can handle. Deal with that when the time comes. I'll be stronger then, too :P
Don't laugh, but also looking at a .22 just for fun.
.22lr is a great caliber with multiple uses. Not necessarily top of the list for self defense, but is a staple of my own collection. I have 3 rifles in .22lr, and somewhere around 12k rounds of it. Shot about 300 rounds of it this past Saturday out of my M&P 15-22.
That's a fun to use semi.
I'm sentimental about .22's. For me, starting with it = no fear in graduating to substantial pieces for self protection. I always recommend it to female friends unfamiliar with guns.
French hand missal 'Paroissien Romain' with the 1856 approbation of Archbishop Sibour of Paris, murdered the following year by a probably demented Abbé Verger who was opposed to both priestly celibacy and the definition of the Immaculate Conception, of which ironically +Sibour was not particularly supportive, in the sense of not considering a dogmatic definition to be wise.

Dear Gardener, besides your most adoable sweet son.....I'm more interested in the lovely quilt in the upper left corner draped over your light green chair! Actually, the chair is quite nice, too!
Quilt was made for Dom when he was born, by the St. Anne's Quilters group at the FSSP parish in Littleton, CO.
Chair is a dumpster dive find from Germany. I helped a coworker move and they were going to get rid of it. His wife had gotten it next to a dumpster when he was stationed in Germany.

Russians just try to perfect everything, don't they? So, are you going to ride the Pope's plane with the hopes that he'll marry you at 30,000 ft? :lol: You finally found your East-European bride!

On the "Bought anything interesting" front, we bought these in Kansas City night before last; (https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4711/25317821237_f0f2fd68a7_n.jpg) Now I just have to find a coffee table to go with them. Oh, and lamps, and if I change these things, I'll need new chairs, a couch to go with the chairs, carpeting to tie it all together, wall paint, I mean, come on, if you are going to go that far, you just have to paint, and last but not least curtains for that little piece of accent... You know how it is. ;) :lol:

Interesting for me too was that a bicycle mechanic told me all that was wrong with the derailleur on my Trek Marlin mtb was some mal-adjustment, which he resolved. It impresses on me that I should make sure to schedule that I can do my own bike maintenance and to trust another bicycle shop less.

No pic, but I got an unworn pair of these on Tuesday at the thrift store for $22 bucks.
https://www.amazon.com/Danner-Mens-Steadfast-Inch-Hunting/dp/B00XF10OJ8
I see on the reviews that someone says they aren't waterproof. Not sure what they were doing, but after a walk around the block to see how I liked em, I came in and my oldest was taking his bath. So naturally, and to my wife's displeasure, I stepped into water up to my ankles and stood there moving my feet around for a few minutes. No soak-through.
They were missing an insole, so I ripped a pair out of my converse allstars and they fit perfectly. I actually didn't like the Danner insole that came with them.
Very happy with these so far, as my Columbia hiking books are now 9 years old and worse for wear.

That's a pretty broad brush you are painting with Gardener. I have never once heard anyone dog somebody for not "waving". My understanding of the 2 fingers down is that it is just an acknowledgement of another biker and saying, "stay safe, keep 2 wheels on the road". If you don't feel comfortable doing that, then don't do it. Nobody is going to be miffed one way or the other. Some bikers nod instead of the "wave" because they don't want to take their hands off the handlebars. A lot of the time, that's the job of the back passenger anyway, so you don't have to move your hands. Most people around here will raise 2 fingers as a wave when driving their cars on country roads or in a small town, but you never hear anyone get upset if they don't. It's really no different with motorcycles. You go enjoy your donkey and hopefully next week I'll be able to go enjoy my hog. If we meet on the road I'll give you the two finger "wave" and you can ignore it. No problem! :cheeseheadbeer: 8)
A suit of Dutch surplus winter camo to fit over regular winter wear (coat and pants combo). And an Austrian surplus olive drab field shirt, to complete my hunting camo for every other season. Regular Carhartt army green pants are a perfect shade of OD for camo purposes (it has that nice smoky, grayish tint to it that alot of modern OD lacks, its too bright of a green.) Already have a Czech OD parka for spring/fall, OD sweaters and hats and gloves.

Some hand missals like one from 1806-11 (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Pd0hZJLfXapzUy7DNdbIDdQFJQ1BeaCx) with an inscription (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1hfmyvIJyTIeVO-XVzzzM-lBi8Hz6GV3u) to an Edward Tichbourne from the Marchioness of Buckingham (possibly Hon. Mary Nugent) and another Roman hand missal (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1bU3wbhDGFKWeKcUcJcOsDXaD-3d8WUm2) published in Belfast in 1846.
Altar missals for the OP rite and the Roman rite, from mid 30s and late 40s, respectively. :D

I've a few of them including a Gallican altar missal of 1776 issued under royal authority and that of Lomonie de Brienne (http://xn--tienne_charles_de_lomnie_de_brienne-9cdv), later an aggressive finance minister (DG of Finance) for Louis XVI, Cardinal, and finally apostate (Lectionary and Sanctoral Cycle the same as a Roman Missal for Toulouse, but propers usually differ), a 1754 Roman Rite Missal from Venice, a sort of deluxe priest's missal, and some other priest missals, and a beautiful and gigantic missal from 1959, and an altar missal of 1964 which is altar sized but surprisingly thin. In respect of a breviary, all I have is an Urban VIII diurnal of the 1892, a small print utterly plain one vol Urban VIII breviary of a few years prior, too many hand missals from 1800 to 1966, plus that CTS Ordinariate Missal from recently, and a few BCPs. A definite sort of lunacy. Like reading through them.

They're nice where I fish since all the park shores on the WI river where I live are lined with red granite which is cut very sharply, no nicely rounded river rock to bounce a lure off, once its caught its a goner. With the rapalas that's no problem, just throw a weedless egg sinker on if I need a little depth and we're good to go, the river isn't much deeper than 4' in most spot anyway.
I switched out the trebles since I noticed that every fish I caught was just barely hooked, and didn't care for all the hooks dangling about (neither did my wife, she'll come fishing too).

Was cheap, so got it. It has quite a resemblance to the St Joseph's Missal, with similar enough art and a 'Treasury of Prayers,' less artwork on colour plates, a more compact ordinary than the SJM. It notably pushes the Dialogue Mass, something only alluded to in a 1947 St Andrew's Missal (an option for priest and people to say various parts of the ordinary). The size is good, smaller than the oversized Baronius missal, same length and width as a St Andrew's Missal but not as many pages.
Found some cast iron weights online(Craigslists). 300 lbs with squat rack, bench, leg curl/extension, weight tree, standard 20.4kg bar. Fits nicely in garage. All for 350.00(had to rent truck, adding 50. Toyota Yaris and Nissan Rogue just wouldn't cut it). Problem is, 300 lbs is not enough! Well, maybe for strict curling, but I ain't no beach comber. Need Gardner to sit on shoulders for squats.
Traded in my kindle for a Kindle Paperwhite, which was on sale. It's coming the day before my birthday. ;D

Bethesda's online version of the Fallout series, using the Fallout III-IV game engine. These things have a slight commonality with spirits in respect of addictiveness, although Fortnite is more the game addict thing, a chef fiancé of my youngest sister plays that fairly obsessively in his scarce free time.
Reminding me my glass is empty.
Perhaps
interesting might be a Missale Romano-Seraphicum of 1930, which despite its title is not a Missal of a Franciscan Rite or use, in fact the opposite. The existence of the Missale Romanum as something used everywhere owes a lot to St Francis deliberately adopted the Missale as in Rome, not some local troped or farced (the Medieval habit was to add to the Gloria and other invariable texts additional texts or responses to emphasise specific teachings). This contributed, in a way as much as Charlemagne and the Franks making the Roman Missal the one used in Francia, to the fixity of the Roman Rite as confirmed at Trent. It has several Irish Feasts like 'All the Saints of Ireland' of 6th Nov or universal Feasts like the Immaculate Heart of Mary with the approbation of an Irish bishop. It was an Irish missal or one used by Irish monks.

Another Napoleonic era hand missal, similar in that P Keating, Brown & Co. published both, albeit moving from 37 to 38 Duke St, Grosvenor Square, Psalm XIX for the King, a prayer for 'George our King, Charlotte our Queen, and the royal issue' after Communion, although the earlier one is more strident in prayers for the army and people 'committed to his care' (so no ambiguity in the service of the Jacobites), Five Points or Resolutions on the last page, propers mostly in translation only (but the St Joseph Daily Missal of the sixties had the same policy too) but there are some differences like the 1806 missal having a more archaic look with f for s, the 1815 having a Jesuit symbol on its cover. Also Go Pro Hero 7 action camera for bicycle and as dash cam, but the battery capacity is barely sufficient for a trip to the shops, let alone a long journey.
Wasn't Catholicism still forbidden in Great Britain until 1830? If so, who would be using it? Fascinating nonetheless.

No it wasn't forbidden, but from Henry VIII's attempt at Catholicism without the Pope or various devotions which annoyed him until Catholic Emancipation there were a great many legal disabilities, enforced with varying levels of strictness, Penal Laws, sometimes death for priests from abroad, or for instance fines for not attending 'Divine Service' or restrictions on inheritance. For instance Bishop Challoner (1691–1781) revised the the very literally translated Douay-Rheims of Fr Gregory Martin SJ, while in England, although there were the savage Gordon Riots when the Catholic Relief Act was passed in 1778 (this lifted the threat of long imprisonment or even worse for Catholic priests). The Dukes of Norfolk were usually Catholic and remained premier peers of the realm. Catholicism largely seemed to survive with a body of believers who were either very poor, sometimes Irish migrants or Highland Scots and a number of aristocratic families whose chapels provide places of Catholic worship in times of stricter enforcement of the law.

I'll have to remember this story! I'm glad to see you are spreading St. Thomas around :). I thought at first you were talking about St. Thomas saying his works seemed as straw, after he had his vision. Then I looked up "straw purchase". (Perhaps you had both of these things in mind? Or maybe not)
Was using the phrase straw purchase in reference to St. Thomas' vision.
Quote from: Gardener on January 29, 2019, 10:29:50 PM

There is more straw there than just St. Thomas' vision. The first university professors were called "straw men" because(I think) they used straw bales for the students to sit on as a result of the university's humble beginnings. If only we could say the same about those who were educated in them; the university turned out to be anything but humble.

Out of curiosity I bought Fraternité Notre Dame's (https://openhousechicago.org/sites/site/fraternite-notre-dame/) small missal (http://www.saintmickael.us/small-tridentine-missal-prayer-book). It didn't cost too much and it was curious to see a sedevacantist publication which quoted Benedict XVI and had prayers related to the Conciliar saint Faustina and its seminal devotion Divine Mercy (I know of its Polish pre-Conciliar origins but it seems to be used these days as a way to displace the Rosary and Sr Faustina's work is problematic). Now it might lacks the gilt edged missal paper and engravings of a 1930 St Anthony's Treasury but they do good work and it shows sedes are a broad church, so to speak.
Thanks to a post here I bought some concealed carry shorts to go under my almost-tea-length dresses.
I also bought some knitting stitch markers made from rosary medals.

A Canadian Pacific ABA C-Liner set and a Canadian Pacific GP7 to add to my already too large collection of HO model trains. I try to tell myself that they are not just toy trains, but fine replicas of first generation diesel locomotives that ran in the 1950 steam to diesel transition era. They all run great. I have some steam locomotives too. I am a member of the Campbellford-Seymour Heritage Society of which the Campbellford Model Railway Club is a part of. It's historic, don't you know. :)

Now that's a cold start. It reminds me of a Koehring 466 that I used to own in the 1980s. Not quite as bad as that but there were some start ups that I was wondering if it would ever start hitting on all six cylinders. It was powerful though. I bought it to dig a few ponds. It was something like this one.

I think one of the nicest sounding diesel motors are the ones in the EMD GP7s and GP9s. They are called Geeps. In this video you should be able to distinguish the sound between the screaming of the electric traction motors and the diesel prime mover.

Thank you mikemac, for the model train pictures, very cool.
Like a lot of kids my age (I'll be 68 in June) I and my brothers had a model train set (Lionel I'd guess, I don't know the scale, larger than HO as I recall) which mom sent off to the St. Vincent de Paul thrift shop decades ago. At various times and events in various places I've lived or visited I would see displays which the local model railroad club set had set up and have often thought that would be a fun hobby!
I'll likely never get around to it, but I always enjoy watching model railroaders and their set ups.
A cedar chest to store my quilts and bedding. I've wanted one for years. It came as a kit from eBay, and a local carpenter put it together for me. It came out gorgeous! ;D

The complete Liturgical Year in hardcover for a ridiculously low price. And the complete Oxford Illustrated Edition of the works of Charles Dickens, ditto. It's cleaned out my book budget for the rest of the year, but I think it's worth it to achieve a lifelong dream. :)

Superb, although Dom Guéranger had a notable blindspot in somehow regarding neo-Gallican and French Cathedral uses as the nesting places of Jansenism, which is unfair, given the elaboration called for by these Uses, appears largely to have been something Jansenism (whatever that really meant) rejected. Public penance like the Use of Rouen might have been to their fancy, and some neo-Gallican liturgists were perhaps Jansenist, but the decline of the Uses in the nineteenth century after the French (Masonic) Revolution slaughtered and exiled so many canons, monks and nuns who sustained them; removed one obstacle to the post V2 catastrophe of the 'New Mass.' Pardon my aimless discursion.
Well, I ended up not receiving The Liturgical Year after all. The seller only sent the first book. Needless to say, I got a refund. Now I'm on the hunt for another set. :(

Bummer.
I had an experience a while ago where I purchased a DRB special edition from the 50s from Amazon private seller. They sent me a KJV. Still same artwork and edition type, but wrong text. Sent it back and they gave refund.
Now I've bought The Liturgical Year. :P Complete hardcover set, for about what I paid for the first "set", and probably in better condition. Seller's shipping them out today! ;D Anybody know of a good liturgical calendar online, so I can start with the right volume?
62? 55? Late-mid 1800s when Dom Gueranger was writing?

I was recently given a very nice book that teaches the fundamentals of how to write the letters and sounds of the Arabic language: Alif Baa, Introduction to Arabic Letters and Sounds.

I used that one for my Intro to Arabic class.
I never kept up with it, but it's a beautiful language.
I bought a tiny Confraternity New Testament with a fascinating little intro regarding its translation and earlier translations of the Rheims NT. I've been meaning to make a thread about it, maybe Tuesday. A couple used Catholic books: This is the Mass and Catholic History through Biography. I also got a lovely used kids book called In The Town all Year Round. No words, just beautifully illustrated and it even includes nuns and a monastery! Also got a couple used Spanish books for kids.
A new rosary to replace the one that was lost. And some hematite beads to make an inexpensive one that I can carry with me.
A Ruitertassen leather satchel (from ebay). Finally! I've wanted one for years! Although I love leatherwork, there's no way I could possibly make a bag as nice as one of these. And a St. Teresa medal (also from ebay) to put on my rosary, the exact same one as the one that was on my lost rosary, except that one was silver and this one is gold.

Banjo.
Funny story... so I had been wanting a banjo for a while - a long while, actually (a buddy had one years ago and I played it until he couldn't stand it). I was looking on Craigslist and saw a Fender banjo for a good price, but it was in Yale, OK. A bit of a drive for a "deal". Then work took me to Yale to give a cybersecurity presentation to a bunch of oil and gas pipeline workers. I contacted the seller and said I was in town for a few hours. He was in Stillwater working, but said he could get his sister to drop it off and take the money. Good to go.
So I get done with the presentation and after I packed up my stuff I told my Senior, "This might be the most redneck thing you're gonna hear today, but I'll be back in a few minutes. Gonna go to the gas station next door to buy a banjo." He brushes it off with a "k." He must have thought I was speaking in euphemisms.
Off I go. Dude's sister is in a silver toyota, he said. I get over there and there's 3 silver toyotas driven by women. Crap. So I'm standing there looking confused when this country gal of well-fed proportions pops her head out of a Corolla and exclaims, "Ya here to buy a banjo!?" Yes, ma'am, and twice on Saturday.
Money, meet hand. Banjo, meet Gardener.
Run back over to the restaurant where we did the meeting and plop the banjo on the table while I get my stuff. Senior blurts out, "Where'd you get a banjo?" From the gas station parking lot, dude. Were you not listening?
Our manager comes over. Same thing, "Where'd you get a banjo?!" Come on guys, we're in rural Oklahoma. These things grow on trees!
So now I have a banjo. Gonna take some lessons.
Funny story. Is it a five string?

I was thinking of a slingshot like David used to kill Goliath - which wasn't even correct since David used a sling, not a slingshot. Hmm, maybe David did use one of these mark bell slingshots to strengthen his arms. On the other hand maybe Goliath did, in which case I do not recommend them. ;D

Well, I just used it and it was the greatest "pump" I've ever had. It works to stabilize the shoulders and assure proper form in what is called the "bench press." It allows for higher weights, giving one's primary muscles and central nervous system an overload capacity that transfers to higher lifts for personal records(PR) or in competition. It is a supplemental tool, not a get strong quick without the hard work apparatus.
And wouldn't you know it, my name is "David," but please call me "Dave" in person.

I just obtained from a friend, but will be buying it, an echo two stroke string trimmer. It hasn't run in 4 years. I have spent the last 24 hours learning how to trouble shoot the machine, and I finally got it running with some new gas and carburetor adjustment. Oh, and probably 200+ pulls.

Sorry, Non Nobis. I paid attention to this now. She's indeed a big eater, a big naughty beast. Ugh! Like having triplets. But the story is, is that we sometimes like to name our pets around the seasons we get them, if they are secular, viz. we had Rebel and Patriot the brother cats from an early acquirement July in 2005(they gone now), our other dog is Pumpkin, which we got in October of 2016, and now, Truttie.

of Linux? I'm not sure... I'm still pretty Windows-centric although our database and application servers are moving to Linux this year (RedHat). :cheer:
For my home laptop, I'm thinking Mint?
Mint is good. It's what I use. They pull from Ubuntu's repository. Ubuntu's UI is more like a Mac. Heck, try both. Not like it will hurt you to experiment. Command line for both will be same. Not like you're having to deal with application constraints like at work.

It's not high quality but it's quite playable. Certainly higher quality than the old Harmony and Kay archtop though.
The top is solid spruce but it's pressed rather than carved.

Missel de Paris, Latin-Francois: Imprime par ordre de Monseigneur L'Archeveque, Quatrie'me Partie, A Paris, Chés Jean-Thomas Herissant, Libraire rue Saint Jacque, á Saint Hilaire, M. DCCC. XXX XXXIX avec approbation wt privilége du Roi. This missal of 1739 seems as large as a modern missal, but has only just under 500 pages of fairly thick paper, compared with c. 1400 of a modern missal. It is also, as the title says, only the fourth part. Given the wear to the ordinary of the Mass, its owner might only have had that part.
St Jerome Sunday Missal. Art of the time, with some plates of relevant Old Masters. The strange thing is that for a hand missal of 1966, there is not the slightest trace of V2. It has the Latin ordinary and translated propers, the same as a Regency / Georgian hand missal of 1806. Also St Gregory's Prayer Book, which is an Ordinariate prayer book with ordinary of the Ordinariate Rite Mass and various prayers and litanies.

What if one used paper plates and mugs instead of doing the dishes every time? What would be the difference in price?
Well my Siemens dishwasher cost me $130 and lasted 3.8 years. The electricity and water is probably another $100 per year. The detergent tabs are 7cents each so $100 per year. Total cost $240 per year to run a dishwasher.
But I wash up more than just plates. Plates are about 1/4 to 1/3 of the load.

I bought this 9 years ago, and like an idiot returned it, and regretted it all these years. Paladin Press went out of business, and had to reorder it for $101. Its worth it though, one of the extreme few books that clearly illustrates (in line drawing) medieval European hand to hand combat, not like most books which just reprint the old manuscripts and the old paintings with no explaining commentary. Lindholm is an excellent author, I have his Bare Knuckle Boxer's Companion as well.

Bloody brilliant device for £12. 32GB of music on a card, even more on a USB stick, even more bluetoothed to your phone and also works as a hands free phone connector. Not great for a complex conversation or business conference call but fine to say I will be home in 1 hour and I will remember to get bread and milk if your wife calls you when driving.
Not really a t-shirt kind o' guy, but it shouldn't be too hard to find room for this brilliance in my wardrobe.

An Angelus missal. They have some with leather covers in stock while supplies last, so I splurged. Interested in comparing first hand to my Baronius missal.

Both are based off the New Marian / Ideal Missal, I think. It is interesting how they both publishers reworked the same source missal, yet did a number of things differently. Both provided the Latin for all the propers, rather than half and half, but I think the Baronius fitted the text better. I think. Anyhow, same source, somewhat different result.

I think you will like the Angelus missal better. I did because I didn't have to flip back for the Preface. I heard one person complain about the thin rice paper in the Angelus missal though.

I am looking forward to reading all the commentary the Angelus has throughout.

I've had my Baronius a long time, since before SP. It's going to take a lot to change my preference. :) We'll see how it goes.

I just won an ebay auction for one dollar for a "my daily psalm book". It is a psalm book arranged in the order of the divine office.
I have this on kindle. ;)
So far I am upset that they changed the word "unicorn" to "buffalo". Aren't buffalo limited to North America? I really like how compact it is, and that I don't have to do any page flipping. It aids meditation in that sense. Left to right, and top to bottom.
I bought a new china head doll for my collection, my birthday present to myself (early, but who's counting?). She's enormous, nearly 30" and comes wearing a silk dress that I'll be able to use as a pattern to finally sew a dress for my other china head doll.

The paper, oh my! I have shaky hands and fingers. Getting apart some those pages stuck together due to the gilding... The Baronius has thin pages, but they're not thin thin!
I do like the cover though. My Baronius is over a decade old and the covers are still stiff, but the Angelus is already bending quite nicely when I hold it in my hand
Bought a book of 1870s dress patterns, to sew for my China-head dolls. I can't wait until it gets here.
Completed purchase of recording console for my classroom.
A larger sewing box. It's one of the cantilever ones that folds out, made in Norway. I've wanted one for years. Now I can keep my quilt pieces in it with my supplies and not in my dresser. Lol.

Edit: It's handmade in England, of oak. Loads of customizable features, but I just got the basic large one. I figure I can get casters put on in the future if necessary. I'm so excited! I've been putting off starting a new quilt, but now all of my fabric and tools will be organized. :)
Edit 2: I don't know why it isn't showing up now.
My first Steiff bear for my collection. He's a whopper, too, 30". I'm elated. ;D I've wanted a big Stiff for about twenty years, though my dream was always for a 24" one. I never dreamed in a million years that I would find a 30" one.
Christmas cards and Christmas stamps with Our Lady of Guapulo. I don't send out cards until just before Christmas so that they are delivered hopefully during the Octave. But going out these days is difficult and I might as well get ahead of the curve!
A pit bull puppy. He's a plumpy, black critter. Named him "Kipper."

My recent purchases:

Hunting blind
Turkey callers
French coffee press
Big Trump sign
Mini security camera
I bought airpods (wireless bluetooth ear buds). They even work well with my Windows PC.
I figure I will post this video I have had on private of a guitar I bought and fixed up a few months ago before I sell it. I had to do a lot of fretwork on it, and make some new parts for it to perform well. It has been a pretty fun guitar, but it has a bowed neck. So, before it goes, I will give it its due and show off its best moments. I hope you enjoy.

I bought a few things for my camera, including a monopod and a made-in-America neoprene case.
I bought felt pads for my kitchen table chairs. :lol:

Handmade wooden and leather clogs from EBay. Made in Sweden. Bought them used for $35. Should be handy for doing errands. I've been wanting a pair of slip on shoes for quite a while, and these were so cheap I thought I'd try them.

A battery for a Honda Magna VCF750, but that was barely the issue. The main 30a fuse had blown and it was extraordinarily hard to access. Given it was a Japanese built Magna, I was worried if I broke anything that the scarce Magna related parts wouldn't be suitable.
A 1770 Capuchin breviary which after 1828 belonged to a Pater Edmund Lieb OFM Cap. Min. Perhaps he was not the one who used 1860s Austro-Hungarian stamps as tabs. It also includes a beautiful handwritten office for the Dexter of St Stephen of Hungary, 30th May.

The St Judge Sunday missal, a small missal issued by the Claretian Fathers of the National Shrine of St Jude. First it is neat little booklet covering Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation, but the reason for purchase is the various prayers to St Jude including a litany, various prayers, and what they call the Prayer in Trials which is the same as the Dublin diocesan form of the prayer I once linked (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7s8Mn1xJYAyZl9RcDRRNnJ4TDg/view?usp=sharing) here. The prayer on the reverse of that card, a sort of litany, approved by the Archdiocese of Dublin in 1957, has most of its elements in one of the Claretian prayers.
A new doll for my collection. She's a Waldorf doll, but a larger one than normal. I love these dolls, they're so adorable. They also have a cult following so I was lucky to be able to get my hands on this one, since they're made by hand only a few times a year. http://imgur.com/gallery/tzQ60BP (http://imgur.com/gallery/tzQ60BP)
Sort of in the category of buying, but it was a craigslist curb alert. In this case, a lovely cul-de-sac in a nice neighborhood. I got a bunch of perfectly sized canvasses already primed by someone's expensive hobby! And some expensive bird feeders. It's a miracle ;D

I love my bird section of the yard. Nice find.
I bought a McDonalds double-cheeseburger. They are very good value on the saver menu (in the UK).
Most of the shops in the UK have been closed since the bastard politicians locked everything down. I occasionally (once every 2 months) like going into McDonalds for a cheeseburger (about the only thing I like in McDonalds).
They said you could order one on their stupid app. (with click and collect) but I cannot be arsed. I do not have a mobile phone contract, just pay-as-you-go and I do not want all the faffing about so I waited.
Anyway, last weekend I noticed that the restaurant was open so I went in. I got stopped by the mask gestapo at the door but said I was exempt and they let me through (seemed a bit grudgingly but hey-ho).
It probably does not merit a post but I felt like a bit of a rant.

Bought an ESEE-4 (knife) a while ago. Been waiting for the weather to abate so I can chop some trees with it. Used it to skin my deer and it was more than up to the task. Planning on going outside today so that should be fun. :)

That's what I generally get when I go through the drive-through at McDonald's too. Yeah best value at just over $2 here. They advertise them here as all Canadian beef with no additives, so what to heck eh. Why not.
Anyone try the chicken McMuffin? So darn good. I may or may not buy one every Sunday after Mass. ::)
Bought a nice dress for Sunday Mass, as well as some literature on homeschooling.
Oh and my latest adventure at McDonald's I ended up with a spicy chicken sandwich. The sauce was lovely.
I haven't happily eaten mcdonalds since I was a fat little kid. The last time I did was half my lifetime ago as a teenager, and it made me sick to my stomach, reminding me why I don't eat there, and to never to do so again.
There's no Mickey Ds within walking distance, so for me a chipper, Italian run like has traditionally been the case in Dublin at least. Not for Lent, though.
I probably mentioned it, but maybe not. Got a Universal Daily Missal from 1966. The pray for the reception of Communion is now Corpus Christi answered by Amen, no prayers at the foot of the altar. The Latin ordinary seems to be called the 'Rite of Sung Mass' and the English 'Rite of Low Mass.' Otherwise it's identical to the Fr Sylvester Juergens S.M. missal, the New Marian Missal with nearly identical art outside of the text of the Mass, some of the bigger pieces of artwork gone, otherwise identical texts, as of 1956 and 1962. A St Joseph's Missal from two years later, still has the Mass, with Latin in small brackets, the traditional calendar, but the four Eucharistic prayers of the New Mass.

I have something of that sort for a mountain bike. It also gives that extra protection for a route, a road which is very steep up, but bombing down. Don't normally wear a bicycle helmet, but there it's wise, I think.
Got the
Sarum Missal, edited by J. Wickham Legg.
Basically this (https://archive.org/details/sarummissaledite00cathrich/page/n5/mode/2up). The top of the parts are uncut or roughly cut, with some never separated, which I will never do.
I've been interested in what was the liturgy of most of England (from after 1066 with William the Conqueror / [word for illegitimate] and his club wielding brother Bishop Odo of Bayeux, some medieval bishops interpreted not shedding blood as using a club or mace instead of a sword when leading retainers and other men he raised into battle) and a good deal of Scotland and Ireland as English rule waxed or waned there, until Edward VI. It survived among some recusants until maybe the eighteenth century. It is derived from the Use of Rouen, the Mass heard by Normans before they crossed to England. It revived in some way through the efforts of Anglo-Catholics (Anglicans who adopted certain Catholic practices) who wanted a traditional liturgy that was in some way English, although Trent wholly upheld this and other old local liturgies. It has been very occasionally been revived by Catholics, but in that context is rarer than the proverbial hen's teeth.
