    It's the closet by the front door and has a mirror. It's an old house

    At least you can check to make sure you look okay right before walking out the door.

    So my house was built in the 1930s. I grew up in a small town half an hour north of the city where my parents lived until 2016. One day my dad was telling his bank lady where we lived and she figured out she had lived in our house. The next week I got some mail for her. She had moved way long ago. Weird coincidence

    I'm still getting mail for the woman that used to live here even though she's no longer alive. Oddly enough, it's usually baby clothing catalogs.

    That's what I'm assuming. You'd think after so many years of someone not purchasing anything, they'd stop sending the catalogs though. I've been here for 10 years now.

    I don't think they ever give up.
    At our old house we got mail for several owners ago. It's nuts

    Hello all...

    Hey Ali....how are you feeling?
  • AliNouveau

    happy Saturday Bill
    I feel a lot better. Two nights in a row of lots of sleep seems to have helped. I find lately I seem to run myself ragged then have this crash and need to just rest. Stupid bodies

    Thought of you last night...was watching curling. US vs Sweden....still don't understand some things but I enjoy it
  • AliNouveau

    The scoring in curling is the most confusing. Sometimes too they'll knock their own rocks out to blank an end and retain hammer which is the last rock and therefore an advantage.

    It's the guy near the button end holding the broom nowhere near where he wants the shot. Sometimes it's close...other times it way away...
  • AliNouveau
    AliNouveau Posts: 36,287 Member
    He's called the skip. Or she. And they'll tap where they want the rock to end up and then hold the broom where the shooter person is to aim it. The rock will spin along the ice and curl. The curl is how much it moves or arcs. The softer you throw it the greater the curl. So for a take out when you're throwing with a lot of weight or oomph as I call it you will hold the broom closer to the rock you want to hit. A draw, when you float it into the rings or a guard, when it's above the rings you'll hold the broom farther from where you want the rock to land because it's being thrown lighter.

    The skip will yell stuff like hack (the hack is where you push off from) weight or backline weight, t line weight, normal, board weight, board up. Those all tell the thrower how hard or light to throw

    Cool....thank you.
    On TV it doesn't look like it actually curls that much....that is probably why it looked confusing.

    Ya the perspective is all off. Sometimes rocks can curl like six feet or will drift sideways

    I think they taste great...

    No malt powder...and used ice cubes instead of boiling water
  • AliNouveau
    AliNouveau Posts: 36,287 Member
    I use ice cubes too. I force the first rising faster with boiling water.

    Fresh baguettes are the best
