    Guy hammer vs girl hammer

    DIY women may hate on this post, but why do guys hammer so well? I do my own projects because I don't have the patience to wait for a DH to do any job, but if they do, the can hit the hammer on the nail, 2x and be done. If I do it takes forever and I end up with a crooked nail , or one that...

    Moisture question for hatching eggs

    I have a guy saving eggs for me. He said he put a moist paper towel on them as they were saving the eggs. I told him not to do that. I that going to wreck the eggs? maybe it depends on how wet the towel was and where it was placed. I am not happy.

    Ground hogs day 2025

    Just wanted to wish everyone a happy groundhogs day. It is a milestone of winter. Of course I never understood if the groundhog saw his shadow it means 6 more weeks of winter, seeing your shadow would mean a terrible cloudy day (winter) and a sunny day (shadow) would mean it is warming up...

    Not a mask "normalizer."

    I am hoping if the government 'decides' masking is important to leave it up to the individual, and not the states. Not a fan of mask Nazis. And if you are freaked out, no one is stopping you from masking, (*cough* political statement,) just keep your freak outs and controls off me. Note- I...

(incandescent because LED throws no heat.) A heat lamp would be too hot, in this space. I am not a fan of...
