    I drove past a For Sale sign in Busselton

    Around here it would probably be listing for something in the $800,000 range. If it had a fabulous view or was adjacent to a good golf course or a private airstrip, that would bump that up a fair bit. If waterfront property, all bets are off . . . $2.5 million wouldn't be out of the question...

    Do You Follow The Rules?

    Never have. Never will.

    I drove past a For Sale sign in Busselton

    They say the three most important things about real estate are (1) location, (2) location, and (3) location. Looking at the house, my guess would be that it only has about 2500 sq feet if interior living space. Almost half of it seems to be deck/carport/patio. Four acres isn't a lot of land...

    The Enduring Nature of Successful TV Series

    We've been contacted by the Neilsen people several times over the years. We've never responded. I honestly think they'd be disappointed. We don't have cable or OTA television, only a Roku device, and we don't watch a lot of programming. :rolleyes:

    Anybody still use the old remedies?

    Anybody still use the old remedies? Warm salt water rinse for cuts or sores in the mouth. Salt water gargle for a sore throat. A pencil-sized roll of tissue between the front teeth and top lip to stop a nose bleed. Baking soda and water paste for bee stings.

    Your Parents’ TV Viewing - Yuck

    We didn't watch a lot of evening television when I was young. My father would usually watch the evening news and I recall that he did like Perry Mason. I usually had other things that filled my evenings. Homework, hobbies, &c. I did enjoy the show Sea Hunt.

    Interesting cars from the past.

    During my Navy years, upon our return from a deployment to Europe we had the opportunity to buy one of these FOB Rota Spain and the US Navy would transport it stateside for free. The cost would have been $3000. Of course, on an E-4s pay it might as well have been $3 million. :( I still...

    I came across this stunning 1956 Buick Classic

    IIRC, the 4-door was the Roadmaster and the 2-door was the Special. I had a 1958 Roadmaster.

    Sushi. Food or Bait?

    I've never cared for sushi as I have absolutely no liking for white rice :sick:. I used to eat sushimi every time I visited Camarillo, CA at a place called the California Grill (IIRC). Unlike sushi, sushimi is just raw, thinly sliced, very high quality tuna (or sometimes other fish) served...

    Time to replace the freezer?

    Excellent question @ricmic. If it's a chest-type freezer, put a small, open container of water (paper cup) in a highly visible location in the freezer and let it freeze solid. Then set a coin (we use a quarter) on top of the ice. If you ever open the freezer and the coin has sunken down into...

    Okay, then! I draw the line at

    I think it depends on the recipe. A pumpkin (or other winter squash) soup can be wonderful, but if you're talking about that artificial "pumpkin spice" flavoring . . . YUK! My wife makes a curried squash and mushroom soup that's amazing. She usually uses butternut squash but is going to try...

    They don't make men's shirts with chest pockets anymore?????

    Men's shirts with chest pockets are certainly still readily available. The issue I've run into has been pockets that are too small. I'm still able to find acceptable shirts but I have returned more than a few for that exact reason. I can't imagine an astute manufacturer trying to save two...
