    Castor wheels never change direction that smoothly, and how would you mount the castors to make them that easy to get the bike onto them?

    I have a friend with Emmerson thermostats that have a recall issue. They say they cause fires with the constant backlight on. Their recommendation is to bend the pin that connects cable C to the thermostat so that is no longer an option. It doesn't affect the wireless connection or any other...

    Okay, another good moment for us. I just got results from a test today. As I've said in this thread earlier, our youngest is ADHD. I know it's over diagnosed, but this is not one of those cases. His medication has changed his life. The trouble is, his medication is an appetite suppressant, and...

    I live with my million kids every day, and when they acknowledge that I'm trying, I tear up. Pretty much every time. Kids. I have many thoughts. Little fuckers manipulate your every thought and emotion. Little fucker claim a monopoly on your time. Little fuckers need you. All the time. The...

    Hey, look. Good parenting being recognized by children. It happens. Don't expect your teenager to talk about it or acknowledge it.

    This isn't a dick question. It's a smart question. Teen girls are mighty manipulative, I know from experience. But there are times when you can trust them. And sometimes you have to be their parent to know when that is.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Cleaning some of last year's fruit out of the freezer tonight, made tart cherry jam. Included lemons and some star anise. I'm listening to can's sealing in the kitchen every couple of minute, and it is bloody delicious. Had some on home made bread already.

    Dude, I'm so bloody happy for you that she made that decision. Regardless of the outcome, your daughter loves you, and I think you're adult enough to foster that relationship, regardless of where she ends up. Spend every second you can with her, and let her know you love her. You're awesome, and...

    You can make do with that. It's not a bad saw for light duty work. You might also consider getting a cheapy table saw. Long cuts always come out straighter and better with a table saw. A combination table saw/compound mitre saw is fantastic - you can do almost anything. However, if you're going...

    Asshat 2018 FINAL VOTING ROUND!!!!

    I was asked this last year, too. I like when people have to write in their votes. It promotes extra comments and generates fun discussion. If it were just a vote in a poll, I'm willing to bet we would not have half the gold that's in this thread.

    I'm in 100% agreement with this. I have a 1999 Ford Ranger. It starts every bloody time I turn the key, it always has, and parts and repairs for it are cheap. We got the Hyundai to replace a Taurus that was seriously old and no longer reliable without thousands of dollars of repair, so it was...

    You know what's shitty about everything you're saying? It's all about you. You say "I will do this" and "I will do that" and "I will provide" and you never, not ever, not once, make your kids the centre of things. Like your stupid judge your kids ability to draw thread. It devolved into stupid...
