Where’s the thunder?

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (14867) • Ireland 26 Jun

We were promised thunder last night and a deluge to break the hold this oppressive heat has on life but it hasn’t happened. I lay awake last night, window open, waiting to hear the savage beast throw its lightning bolts to earth,...

Max Crisp We are forecast thunderstorms today. We had rain early doors, but no sign of thunder yet. That’s not to say there hasn’t been any, as my hearing isn’t the best these days.

An unexpected expense

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52365) • Staten Island, New York 25 Jun

Recently, I was taking a shower and noticed the water was very cold and when I tried to make it a bit warmer, the temperature wouldn’t change. I thought maybe the water heater didn’t fill up yet. I went to the HVAC room to check...

Max Crisp Crikey, you’re not having much luck with your property right now. Bad enough that you’ve had to replace the water heater without having to cut a hole in the wall to get it out. Was the room built around the heater? It sounds a right palaver!

Plumbers are expensive

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52365) • Staten Island, New York 25 Jun

There was an issue with the kitchen sink. When I would wash the dishes the water would accumulate and then it would drain but very slowly. My realtor called a guy that he uses to come take a look. The guy came over today. He...

Max Crisp What are you pouring down the sink to cause the blockage? You need to stop or you’ll end up having to call out the plumber again incurring more expense.

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (11744) • United Kingdom 25 Jun

Max Crisp We don’t have the red warning here in the North-east. The temperature has been in the high 20’s today. It’s too hot for me, so I haven’t been out either. I went outside briefly early this morning to water my plants that are in pots and it was about 20C then....

Celebrating Sir Paul Top Ten: Magneto and Titanium Man (#8)

Four Walls @FourWalls (87222) • United States 23 Jun

One thing about making a list with an artist who has such an enormous discography from which to choose like Paul McCartney is that things have to be omitted. And, given that everyone has tastes that are as individual as...

Max Crisp Are you saying that “Live and Let Die” isn’t appearing in your Top Ten? As a Bond fan, and a Bond theme fan, I am very surprised. Many of the Bond theme songs are fantastic tunes, and “Live and Let Die” is no exception. I would have bet your...

What would you have done?

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52365) • Staten Island, New York 24 Jun

I was at a supermarket with my mom and her friend. There were two types of fresh corn there. One was loose, selling at 10 for $5. The other was prepackaged, selling for $6, with 4 corn inside the package. My mom’s friend grabbed...

Max Crisp I would have asked how much they were individually. Surely they don’t expect you to buy in quantities of 4 or 10 only? If that was the case, I would buy 10 because it’s cheaper. The ones you can’t use, I would gift them to someone or donate to a local food...

Do you ever do experiments at home?

Fleur @Fleura (35372) • United Kingdom 24 Jun

365 Days of Photos - Day 39

Max Crisp That’s a nice photo of your mom’s dog. I’ve never heard of a Havenese, so I don’t know how long it might live. 14 seems old already for a dog. Different breeds have different life expectancy, but as a general rule you multiply by 7 to get the...

Max Crisp It’s too hot for me! I don’t ride a bike, and waiting for the aircon to kick-in in the car is unbearable. Roll on the cooler temperatures and rain they are promising for next week.

Judy Evans @JudyEv (383337) • Rockingham, Australia 23 Jun

Max Crisp I’ve never tried Vegemite, but as I don’t like Marmite, then I’m sure I won’t like it either. As for toast; the Socceroos need to up their game, or they will be toast.

Ayu2026 @Ayu2026 (528) • Denpasar, Indonesia 22 Jun

Max Crisp I’ve made a few pizzas but I could definitely do with a pizza stone. I put mine on a baking tray and it doesn’t cook underneath properly. A pre-heated stone is meant to be the answer. That’s what I thought until I read your discussion. Now I’ll have to...
