Tattoos! How many if any, where, and why

madmax2crazy @madmax2crazy (1569) • United States 3 Nov 06

I love and have tattoos, 10 for now but planning to get many more. So far I have a flaming skull on my left wrist, sunset and "Mom" left chest, "Dad" with golfball and golferman on right chest, blue scorpio holding wedding rings...

Jim Bauer I do not have any tattoos whatsoever and personally have no desire to ever get one. But there are some rather interesting ones, and I don't think they are particularly bad, although I do think some people can go a bit overboard with them.

A lion's head water-pump in France

Judy Evans @JudyEv (364182) • Rockingham, Australia 7 Jun 19

While in a village on the Loire canal in France, we came across this pump which intrigued me. I’ve seen many old pumps before but this one had an outlet like a gargoyle. Many of the ancient sites in this village had informative...

Jim Bauer Definitely something rather unique and not something you expect to see every day. I like when someone makes something ornamental out of something otherwise ordinary.

This grain silo was built by Jack Jones in 1949 when heavy lifting equipment was in its infancy. The heavy timber mainframe was made from bush timber and hoisted into position with two Fordson tractors. As the fledging silo was...

Jim Bauer Lots and lots and lots and lots of death notices lately. But of course, that's because we have a very high population of older people due to the baby boomer era. It will be like this for a while.

What’s the weirdest thing you think robots will do in the future?

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (65) • United States 17h

Jim Bauer Let's be honest here. We know many, many robots will be sexual companions at some point. There are already some out there, but eventually they'll be quite versatile and very lifelike. Let's just hope no one puts in a nagging chip or let's it decide if it...

It Really Was Funny

J.N.R Dutton @jnrdutton (3388) • United States 16 Oct

Jim Bauer On all sides, I think having a sense of humor is important. So long as it is in fun and has some context to it. I find some of the coffee mugs quoting Trump's braggartly style of speaking to be quite hilarious regardless of who they are directed at. Look, I...

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (65) • United States 16 Oct

Jim Bauer I am sure it will be just fine. Sometimes in the kitchen you have to be an artist, surgeon and idea maker. lol. As for pie crusts being sold in packs of two, that's because so many pies have a top and bottom crust. But I get your frustration.

Is it more important to be honest or kind in difficult situations?

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (65) • United States 16 Oct

Obviously the answer is a combination of both would be ideal, but if you could only choose one, which would it be? Case in point: Mother-in-law more than likely has dementia. We'll get the test results next week. We've had to...
