XenoFish Posted August 16, 2021 #51 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Built a ramp for my dad's building. Now he can store his lawnmower. I think half the clouds I saw were made of my sweat. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wore me out a bit but I'll take it! I get my best workouts going to Costco. I load up my cart putting the 50 pound bags of bird seed in first, walk the whole store, pay for my stuff and push the cart to the back part of the parking lot where I always park. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracy18 Posted June 22, 2022 #59 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I have been a teacher in a multicultural school for over a decade but lately i have been paying closer attention to what it means to be culturally appropriate as a teacher and also how that could make me a more accessible teacher for all. (little detail on why cultural intelligence could be crucial in the future as a teacher) considering classrooms are looking more and more multicultural as we go.

+Desertrat56 Posted June 22, 2022 #60 Share Posted June 22, 2022 My front fence is finished, have to wait until August to get the gates. And my bathroom is under construction, which has been slow going, but my small success is that I have the money to pay for all the work being done. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy for you, because it's not every morning that a person wakes up still above ground, people who live in flood prone places, they do wake up with water already up to their bed.

( trickier than it might sound) That's really very interesting, if you don't mind, please tell me what and how you dispose of the products in the portable toilet. You know about cats? They dig a hole and then defecate or urrinate into the hole, then cover it with soil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine, I was a teacher handling kids in kindergarten schools, up to (modesty aside) finally teaching post graduate students working for their masteral or doctoral degrees.

During the building process I had doubts, some of which I mention on the forum. One day I decided to look at it all as one nail, one plank, one sheet of wood, just one of whatever. So I guess you could say the whole project was a collection of micro/small goals. Even now the scope and time that it'll take me to finish is overwhelming me, I need to take a step back today (thanks to this thread), it's all one plank and one nail really. My wife and I we thought that we had enough money to build our own home instead of renting. But we didn't know nothing about how to get people to construct our home, except that we have to employ a contractor, he is the person who gets workers to do the actual work of building a houes. We got one, and he gave us a budget which was very re-assuring. Long long story short: My wife and I we finally leaned how to do without contractors, just ask stores selling construction supplies, and they will introduce you to all kinds of skilled workers, and you do yourself supervising them - no more headache and heart-ache with contractors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oslove Posted June 24, 2022 #68 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I just succeeded to get rid of some pain at my lower left hand pelvis, can you imagine, just massaging the spot with "White Flower Oil"? I shunned taking by oral ingestion any pain-relief medicines, because they could cause side effects on other parts of my body, and that would be bad for my general health. White Flower Oil is some very thrifty cocoction from Hong Kong, ask any Chinese around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutrition Fact Posted July 27, 2022 #69 Share Posted July 27, 2022 My success of accepting all that is, letting it be, giving them all they ask for and knowing thats how its always going to be. Look at them, so happy about it. I think we can move forward now and thats a win everyone can be proud of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Projects Posted September 14, 2022 #70 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I'm moving forward with trying to live in this apartment instead of treating it like a place for storage. I know that may sound a little odd but I've spent most of my life in a shop which was my heaven on earth. I no longer do the type of work to belong in a shop anymore. Hopefully setting up a little workshop and possibly a little "entertainment station" will keep me busy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in a couple of smaller places after moving from a large house and never unpacked boxes or got rid of things. It is a good thing to unpack and find a place for what you need and find a way to let go of what you can't use anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know about cats? They dig a hole and then defecate or urrinate into the hole, then cover it with soil. Ok Yup, that is exactly what the Bureau of Land Management recommends.. (at least 6 inches of soil). they post the instructions on signs on BLM public lands..calling it a “cat hole” But, I discovered that if I carefully , but forcefully, pitch the container bucket’s ‘contents’ into the base of a creosote bush…the solids ,mostly, disintegrate! and turn black within hours…becoming nearly invisible..and drying up enough to not attract flys or bees. It’s desert ,,so blowing sands clean them up after a year or two..rain much quicker! The bushes ,of which there are millions, don’t seem to mind a bit.. some look a little greener I try not to over dose any particular bush. It works better than burying ..coyotes usually dig those spots up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally living in an apartment that I don't leave for several hours a day and instead I'm in it mostly 24/7 has it's moments. I don't have all the tools I once did because what wasn't sold... were stolen, so that takes care of that. I miss my toolboxes and I will be getting a few to hold different stuff instead of those boxes of drawers made out of tree carcus. I didn't have much when I moved here and I'm slowly fixing that issue lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
