My responses were all regarding this JoeBro statement:

Agreed.

I could wait in line just as long as anyone else, as it was only
fair to the people ahead of me.

Anecdotes are not data.

I agreed with that and was very clear that my only statistics
(since I haven't researched the subject) are that almost 100%
of the retirees from a certain railroad for a certain year
were (and many still are) obtaining disability benefits.

I have (and said I had) very little experience with disabled
people, perhaps because my profession wasn't one which required
anything more than a working brain and fingers that can type.

You don't need to have a disabled person in the car
to use the plates.

I don't disagree one bit.

I had stated that, in other words; so I fully agree with you.

Plus, not all disabilities are overtly visible.

In addition, the drivers can be picking up disabled people who
are not yet in the vehicle, and for that, it's helpful to have
a convenient parking spot.

I just think there is fraud & corruption in government, and the
LIRR statistics show me that, in some instances, it's immense;
so for someone to intimate that I'm fraudulently retired on
disability is to cause an affront to my very soul.

I apologize for reacting to that comment; it was in a moment of

That's why I have formica.

The first two pictures look black. Where did your family find black
crud to match the black grout?. I'd leave it alone until she
complains, and even then I might leave it alone.

I'm a guy and no feminist, but I'd be made if someone messed up my
kitchen after I told, or asked, him not to. And even those with 100%

I spilled some inkjet ink from a printer on my bathroom floor, and I
had to dig a long way to get all the colored grout out. Then I had to
fill the trench I had made. The home builder probably used the stuff
mixed from a powder, but I got the stuff that's like butter but
stickier. I hope they match. I've stopped looking.

Do any of you have a similar countertop?



Is yours smooth across the edges of the blocks?
(I'm not sure what material it's made of. Granite?)

I'll also look at a countertop store; but they'll only have

Seems reasonable to me. Although "faking it" may be a bit strong
considering how dedicated government is to giving it away.

As an example, my older brother (now 88) picked up some shrapnel from a
Japanese grenade in the Philippines It wasn't a major deal, he walked
to the aid station and most of it was picked out; however, it got him a
small - 10%? - disability. Well, 3-4 years ago he got a letter out of
the blue informing him that it was being increased to 100%.

And a large percentage of the population IS receiving some sort of
unearned government money. By "unearned" I mean something for which the
recipient was not taxed.

There is also all that income that is off the books.

And, of course, that old favorite: the inflated insurance claim. Which
pales into insignificance in the face of the inflated medical bill (to
the insurance company or medicare). I remember when you could get a doc
for a house call for about eight bucks; I had a stress test a few years
ago, took about three hours (mostly waiting), administered by a tech,
saw the doc for 10 minutes for results. The bill to the insurance
company was a smidge under $10,000, no idea how much they actually paid.

We are all familiar with the proliferation of the "I'm going to get it
while the getting is good" politicians (see "Detroit" for a shining
example). Not to mention those (all) from local to federal that receive
ridiculously high wages and benefits.

Basically, we - the entire world? - have turned into a nation of grifters.

I came up with an invention years ago called "Stay Put!". It is for
toddlers who won't stay put to get their socks and shoes put on or to
take their medicines. The devise is a line of clothing or a vest with
Velcro on the back and a matching patch of Velcro to be attached to a
wall or immobile object of your choice. I never had the money to develop
or market it but I know it would sell to parents of young children and
I'll bet the caregivers for old children could use it too. ^_^

Isn't it?

It's crud to me. Any recessed gap like those on a countertop are
bound to collect crud. My bathroom floor tiles are much better
grouted and easier to sanitize than that countertop.
If it wasn't crud it wouldn't scrape put with a screwdriver. And if
it's soft grout, it's still crud. Countertop grout should be hard,
otherwise you might as well call it caulk. It's probably a poorly
mixed grout in there.
Clean it out and re-grout using a properly hard-setting grout, flush
or almost flush with the top.
I'm not even thinking about food safety, which is a real issue.
Just the thought of food being prepped around crud is unappetizing.
Your choice is epoxy or cement based, colored black. I'd probably use
cement, and if didn't work out after some years, I'd grind out the top
3/16" or so and try epoxy. That's not a big job on your countertop.

It's crud to me. Any recessed gap like those on a countertop are
bound to collect crud. My bathroom floor tiles are much better
grouted and easier to sanitize than that countertop.
If it wasn't crud it wouldn't scrape put with a screwdriver. And if
it's soft grout, it's still crud. Countertop grout should be hard,
otherwise you might as well call it caulk. It's probably a poorly
mixed grout in there.
Clean it out and re-grout using a properly hard-setting grout, flush
or almost flush with the top.
I'm not even thinking about food safety, which is a real issue.

First, he has to "convince" his wife. Her kitchen, her rules.

I plan on cleaning "her" oven at night, when nobody's looking.
I'm gonna hit that "clean" button, and let 'er bake.
In the morning, it will be all clean, and she won't know how.

As soon as the wife saw me digging away, she wryly reminded me of
all my mistakes from the past, and suggested that I go and find
something to fix anywhere else - but not in "her" kitchen:

She wasn't convinced at all that this is pure crud, not grout:

Isn't it?

You don't need, nor want, to convince the wife of anything.

Remember, if your wife is happy and you're not, you're still happier than if
you were happy and she wasn't.

You better get her permission.

Based on this thread alone... if his wife kills him, it will clearly
be a case of justifiable homicide.
She spend less time in jail than Martha.

All the proof the defense needs is in this thread alone.
With lots of other supporting evidence in otherseg

Obviously you never used the clean button before.
It locks the door and heats it up so hot as to *cook* it
clean and it does smell like something is burning

I retired six months before the bride. What a hoot. She retired six
months later, and not long after that, was on my case a bit. I went to
work for awhile to give her some room.

But wait, there's more. Wait 'till Menopause. You never know which
wife you came home to. G


I went through womenopause long ago, there are many women who give me
pause. ^_^

Yea, that was dumb.

Luckily, this morning I easily got rid of the pretty lady

that it was "sexist" ...

Yep, sedatives are in order.


I came up with an invention years ago called "Stay Put!". It is for
toddlers who won't stay put to get their socks and shoes put on or to
take their medicines. The devise is a line of clothing or a vest with
Velcro on the back and a matching patch of Velcro to be attached to a
wall or immobile object of your choice. I never had the money to develop
or market it but I know it would sell to parents of young children and
I'll bet the caregivers for old children could use it too. ^_^

TDD

O my goodness, actually restrain a child for their
own good! What id if there is a fire or
earthquake or flood or poopy pants? How can this
be??? I suggest two sided duct tape.

"It's for the kids"
