You didn't. I was acknowledging that such projects are like other art forms - it's not done for profit.

Although it is Tazmania, the sun came out. Nice pleasant day. Bike hasn't run since last summer - no reason to ride for pleasure when it's raining for 3 months. Great to be alive riding our winding roads! Got home to find that old faithful had contracted Jerry's disease. I noticed the instrument lights were pulsing at idle. A quick check showed battery voltage only 12.8v after a big run. Should be 14v. Another check showed onr phase from the alternator at 0v. and the regulator running hot. Ordering a new stator and regulator. A bit of a dampener.

Well, since you asked, god, allah, jehova, yaweh, elihomin, adoahi, El Shaddai, Abbah, (etc, all these come from the bible) can be any form she (or it) wishes. Wot with being an all knowing, all powerful entity, an all. Hope this clears it up for you.

Will, go for it. It doesn't matter what a project is worth in dollar$. Just do it.

Oh, the good ole daze of $12 rooms. Iremrmber it well. Back then every country pub had a couple of old diggers (ptsd for sure) permanently bolted to the bar. The poor bastids were (still are) forgotten by the populace. Even after decades, the vets still suffered.

He got in on empty promises last time. Just sayin.

Meanwhile, Trump is buying billions of $ of diesel from Roosia (money into Putin's war chest, against Ukraine) in spite of west sanctioning purchase of fuel from Roosia, in spite of Russia stopping sale of diesel because they are short of it. And in spite of it not being enough (if it actually delivers) to reduce the domestic price of diesel in USA before the mid terms. Unfortunately, in spite of this total craziness, I expect the mid terms to go to Repubicans. Either way, I still see Trumpy republicans to win the next presidentials - there is no meaningful opposition.

How do you get rid of unwanted pubic hair? I find a toothpick does the trick.

Yeah, and I squeezed my wife's Nair on my toothbrush because she put the tube next to the toothbrushes. Now I wear my reading glasses in the bathroom.

Believe it or not, my wife's hardresser used to tell us - all you need to wash your hair is sunlighr soap. Just make sure you rinse thoroughly. She was happy to sell her shampoo & conditioner if you wanted it. Just didn't like the petro based detergents used in shampoo.
