But they weren't unreasonable uncivil. They were just sharp disagreements. We all get overly emotional at times when our hot buttons are pushed, even GS and myself. The trick is to not take that personally and try to "do better next time". As long as the attempts are there to mostly remain civil, even when we want to scream out in anguish that the other person is full of crap, the comments must stay uncensored. We all wear Big Boy pants and can handle the occasional disagreement. Again, since they are mostly civil. As long as restraint is shown, which I believe it has. Sure, perhaps less restraint than is desirable, but that will pass and we'll get back to an even keel. We do all have bad hair days.James M Dakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382139289994087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-43437840852218795132018-05-22T06:50:33.116-07:002018-05-22T06:50:33.116-07:00Not sure why it’s become fashionable all of sudden...Not sure why it’s become fashionable all of suddenly to be hating on ghostsniper here in the comments section?

YouTube can be a bit of a time sink, as you say. A one paragraph idea turned into ten minutes of "well, yeh, uh, you know" brain constipation.

LOL<br /><br />Regarding the search and get destroyed. A couple tiles came loose in the masterbath and I wanted to see what ideas were out there to remove the adhesive that is still stuck to the floor. (the stuff should have been called plywood subfloor adhesive rather than tile adhesive cause it stuck to the plywood but came loose from the tile) So after about an hour of wasted time I learned nothing new and am left with what I started with. I already have a couple methods in mind but since I have never done this before I was hoping for some insight. Disappointed again.<br /><br />But, on the sidebar of one sight I visited they had an interesting article about Octopus DNA that came to earth 350mil years ago from a stellar body out there somewhere and that is the beginning of all life on earth.

If you get bogged down ( 99% is repeats of a very few primary source material ), stay patient and return later. You'll eventually accidentally find it. Two, you'll also accidentally find stuff you weren't looking for. Eventually you'll learn who to ignore and not waste so much time. If print books hadn't gotten so bad the web wouldn't be worth it. Now it is to reference books as Kindle Unlimited is to fiction or Netflix is to TV-a lot of drek but enough stuff cheap enough to pay off the waste.

Steve had been trying to do some research online and after a couple hours gave up in frustration. There are 10,000 plates on the table and all of them have the same meal, except the ones that don't.
