I grew up on the farm that my paternal grandfather bought in 1911, when my father was three years old. Moved from there to reduce the commute to work in 1965, when I was 21. The efficiency flat I rented was miserable, so I moved to another a few months later. Married in 1967, separated in...

I have major difficulty staying with an exercise program unless I enjoy that particular exercise. I might have less difficulty if I saw results from it, though. The only one I've ever enjoyed has been walking, outside when the weather isn't too awful and inside on a high-tech treadmill with my...

When You Take a Good Bite, Yorkshire Tastes Terrible

Of Passion and Pizza

Wonderful tribute. The only thing lacking is captions for the deaf and hard of hearing. I enjoyed the sections in which the speaker was on camera, because I could mostly read their lips and infer the rest from context.

Make sure the safety harness is reliable! My ~22-year-old grand-niece was doing a similarly dangerous sport - rock climbing on an indoor climbing wall, when she fell to the mats on the floor below. Fractured both bones in the left lower leg, one of them in two places, and sprained the right...

Good grief, that looks like my regimen, except that I have a couple of inhalers prescribed for twice a day.

I'm not tempted by Amazon Prime. I let items accumulate in the Saved for Later section of my basket until there's enough to qualify for free shipping. Then, if I still need them, I move them to the basket and place the order.

Forked Lightening

I keep seeing photos of British snow on my computer screen, and then I'm surprised when I look out the window and it's just autumn here.

I have no idea about contemporary farm equipment. Been off the farm since 1966, and it was sold in '68. We had a team of horses until the early '50s, replaced with a couple of gasoline tractors. We had no diesel equipment.

When I was young and living on the family farm, we had a gasoline tank buried under the lawn next to the driveway, with a pump above it. Bought gas from Agway (formerly GLF) at about $0.25 a gallon.

Spotted it, unless there's more than one.

Me too.

Question for @gothic Can the list be moved to the Episode Guide section of the forum and pinned so that it remains at the top of the section?

Yes, and I have seen that location. Years ago, the first time I viewed the pilot, I didn't notice the difference, except for the stepladder outside the window in the kitchen door. That was an interior scene, so I can't imagine why the view out the window was so carelessly designed.

I just started re-watching the series after a long hiatus, starting with the pilot. This time, having seen this thread, most of my attention was on the appearance of the exterior and the neighboring houses. I'll have to watch it again to pick up on the dialog.

I've taken the tour into the Tunnel, but never that far nor with that level of expertise!

Not a fan of the tangle of cables all over the place. For decades, I've kept a supply of various-sized batteries on hand. When the supply gets low, I add them to the shopping list for the next time I'm out.

Back when I could be bothered to decorate for the holidays, I'd put the tree up and decorate it around mid-December, but wouldn't turn on the lights until the winter solstice. I was celebrating the pagan holiday with our ancient ancestors.
