Don't take it for granted.
@BritManToo Luckily, I haven't had a 'spill', yet. I have fallen down a few time, though. Luckily I was successful to land sort of correctly and didn't break anything. I tripped over a bag at the end of my bed that did severely affect me. The tendons in my shoulders required almost 2 months to heal. I have a friend who fell at a golf course about 1-1/2 years ago and broke his leg in the femur just below the femoral head. He's 83 and was 82 when it happened. The Doctor was impressed by is bone density for his age, yet, the first procedure to insert a pin and allow the bone to rebuild in the break and around the pin was not successful. The next step was to remove the pin and some external wrap to assist the femur at the break to build bone mass in the area of the break. At this point the Doctor is not happy with the healing progress (more than 5 months) The next set may be to remove the femoral head and do a complete hip replacement. This friend use to play golf 2-3 times a week and would walk more than 50% of the course and during the rainy season, more like 65-75% of the course. Ya just don't know how a broken leg or hip can affect you in your later years. Look after yourself, use the hand rails and be carefull.

Denied entry for being tattooed
I don't much like Tattoos, but it's freedom of speech without using your voice. I support that right 100-200%. The person that got them had their own reason. I stand up for them to get all they want.

No excuse for racism...from anyone
The Arabs, Romans, Greeks and many others were equal opportunity enslavers. They traded goods for them (all slaves) and raided ships enslaving the crews and confiscating the ships or scuttling them. There were black slaves, white slaves, Christian slaves, Asian slaves, Jewish slaves, Arab slaves, Egyptian slaves, brown slaves, etc. It would be wrong to point the finger at anyone particular race, skin color or religion to blame for slavery or the slaves themselves. No, the black Africans were not the major suppliers of slavery. I agree with you. There should be no racial hate (aka racism), but there is. Sad really.

Global Order in Crisis: Germany's Stark Warning at Security Summit
Yes, I agree. She had her bleeding liberal heart out there and never thought of the consequences. But, she'll never live long enough to see the future that she has plagued Germany and much of the Western Europe with.

Ear syringing service?
I use these drops after every shower, too. I've no understanding of the mechanics of why I could get my ears dry without the drops, but it works. I purchased a pack of 3 a long time ago. Like maybe 2020 and I've still got one left. I continued my same drying technique, I just added the drops before starting the technique. (Dry with towel, drip 2-3 drops in one ear, twist tissue paper into a point & dry ear again, and then I very, very carefully use a cotton bud. Then I switch to the other ear).

2 Federal Agents Named in Fatal Shooting of Pretti
True, @JerryM , but they can be charged by the state, which becomes a problem, although, I don't know the counters for that. As President Trump has stated he did not want people to die. Sadly 2 people did.

Then I suggest that the killer of Ashli Babbitt be brought before a neutral jury and judge for trial. I wait... No such thing in DC.

Recovering money owed to me, any advice
Never loan money that you cannot convert to a gift. It's like this. If a friend ask me for money and I can afford to loan them the money, I hope they will pay it back. #1 criteria is don't let the debt ruin the friendship or family bonds. If they cannot repay or can only pay a smaller amount. I forgive the loan in my head, never telling them that's what I've done. I just don't want them to be a stranger, but I never loan again.

Anyone bought a "bonded leather" office chair?
I think that's the same one that I have. I've had mine about 8 years. It started shedding after about 3 yrs. (I've owned it since 2019, maybe 2020). All the leather looking material is gone now. It kind of sheds. I still use the chair. It's comfortable. It looks like I'm sitting on mostly smooth canvas now.

Best hobbies for retirees
Oh, there is much, much more when it comes to "learn AI". Yes. it's nice to use AI to search, but there is a whole new world out there when you take in the words, learning AI. For instance, YouTube is loaded with AI generated videos. That stuff is way over my head, but it is AI.
