> [@dogbutler](#): > > NextDoor will do that to you Nah, I’m blaming Fox and tucker. I keep Nextdoor non-political and shut down COVID threads right away. Unless someone is asking for prayers or support for a family member with COVID, I leave those open until the CT’s start with their shit, and then I shut it down. Cordes Lakes Unlimited probably owes about half their membership to me and most of them start by bitching about the moderation on Nextdoor. Fun fact: there are 347 people with my name in the state. > [@LH75](#): > > Turning in completed blocks results only in getting a coupon for five dollars off on a purchase. Oh, well, that is totally different. I would certainly want to be able to turn something in as long as I knew I would be getting it back so I could fix it. > [@LH75](#): > > I am more disappointed in my own work than any feed back I will get at class. You were rushed and you have to work without seeing what you are doing. I think you do amazing work, I would never consider trying to do something like that because I would judge myself against you and come up short every time. > [@swampbear](#): > > **JtC** that’s what happens when you have a cat like GG, who is an internationally renowned star. He most certainly is! He’s had on-line fans fly all the way from another state just to visit and scratch his fuzzy ears. (On their way to visit family.) > [@scareyfaerie](#): > > **JtC** I deactivated my local NextDoor account because there was so much negativity and nastiness on there. That’s how it was when I was asked to be a mod. It’s not that way anymore. Nextdoor is meant to be the place to look for a lost pet or buy or sell a used appliance, it’s not meant to be FB and I won’t let our little piece of it be used that way. > [@missred](#): > > **Moooooom** , I have to agree with you about white furniture (or pillows), is there a chance that you could recover them with your mad sewing skilz? I’m actually wondering if they could be dyed. Here’s hoping that they are fairly easy to clean. Is your keyboard corded? If so, tie the cord up and put it on the top rack of your dishwasher. Remember to shut the heated cycle off. Let it air dry. If it works, great. If it doesn’t, well it was broken already. > [@LSLGuy](#): > > losing a few grams of flesh every couple of months That’s a hard nope from me. I’m a weenie and I live in one of the two skin cancer capitals of the world. I spend a bunch of time outside, playing in my garden is one of my favorite things closely followed by sitting on my porch and stitching while admiring my garden. I just like to keep at least one barrier between my lily white skin and the fierce Arizona sun. > [@Taters](#): > > I must take my vacuum cleaner apart and see why the hose part isn’t sucking. Well, that sucks! Are you able to reverse the hose to maybe loosen the clog up enough to finish sucking it through? Maybe a little percussion therapy? > [@nelliebly](#): > > Time to change cold packs! More later. I really REALLY wish there was something I could do to help. > [@TruePisces](#): > > Mine has been pretty darn good. Hurray! You certainly do deserve to have a good one more often! I’ve had several friends with asthma who smoke flower. Once they were able to vape, they all moved to that because of the impurities in flower smoke (which is what probably caused your headaches). As a not-expert, I would suggest you ask someone who knows more about it than me. I know that me smoking pot during menopause kept hubs alive but not everyone goes on a hormonal roller coaster. > [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > (must have done ok, both teams and both sets of parents were mad at me) That’s how I know I’m doing a good job as a Nextdoor lead! Today was another lazy day. Coffee on the porch while the sweet spicy smell of the carnations filled the air. The 4 o’clocks are setting flowers, I am really looking forward to smelling them with the carnations, the fragrance is just heavenly. All of my baby plants (pomegranate, mulberry and pyracanthia) are doing well, but I am a little disappointed that we don’t have pomegranate flowers this year. It’s not that surprising, they don’t usually set fruit for a couple of years, but I don’t want fruit, I just want pretty flowers. The various lavenders are covered with bees and there are butterflies playing in the white clover. I like my garden better every year 🙂 > [@nelliebly](#): > > > [@TokyoBayer](#): > > > > I teach this afternoon so I’ll have to prepare for that. > > So there’s school on Saturday afternoons, or is this a special class of some kind? He’s on a different side of the international date line than we are, so it’s still Friday for him. I think, it’s been a long time since I had to try to figure out what day it was in a country on the other side of the world. Thinking even harder, no, it isn’t Friday, it is Sunday. Now my brain hurts and I probably need to smoke some weed to get over the effort. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-so-you-want-to-be-a-star-in-the-mmp/985030)._
