The laminated flooring is a pretty good product. It's very durable. Yes! We got a good water-based sealant with a UV coating to protect it. I'd probably be the one to spill coffee or wine on it. : )

Yes, I'd sit for hours and write in a notebook. As long as I'm not interrupted (directly engaged in conversation) the world just melts away around me when I write. It's kind of like wearing noise cancelling

I'm not opposed to that either. I remember before meme coins really became big most coins needed to have some kind of real world use-case to grow their market cap. Thanks! We're one step closer. The floors

I'll check with my Mom. She might remember. I'm not sure if it was on the lake or not. I've only seen pictures from a few years before I was born. It was really rustic.

I never made it up there but my parents loved it! They have a few pictures from the late 60's and it looks idyllic. My uncle Tony's cabin was a true log cabin too. I wish that was still in the family.

If things don't start moving soon we'll probably have them halt the entire kitchen portion until after Thanksgiving. I think you're right. We're going to see BTC and ETH now become a lot more controlled

I'm craving another coffee now! When I just a bit younger than you I spent LOTS of time in a particular coffeehouse writing many of my early poems. The right coffee shop provides the perfect vibe to spark

What a perfect close to the season! It looks beautiful there, very similar to Northern Minnesota. My great uncle from Detroit had a cabin up near Cadillac, MI. I'm sure it's strange to pack up for the

The original vibe is pretty much gone, except for the OGs and small pockets of true-believers here and there.

I remember how exciting the vibe was after the Housing Crisis of 2008. It felt revolutionary and owning BTC made you feel as though you were a part of it. People were fed up with the traditional financial

It's so tough now with the price where it is sitting. My DCA strategy just gets me a very small fraction per month but it adds up. It'll be interesting to see how low BTC goes during the next bear market.

Thanks, we got a glimpse of the almost finished floor yesterday evening and it looked wonderful. I like those floating floors. I had Pergo installed in one of my first houses and loved it. This kind of

It's a water-based product called Bona Traffic HD and it looks like there is a UV additive. The scent wasn't nearly as bad as an oil based product would have been. You can walk on it after about three

I think that's possible given enough time. I do worry about quantum computing breaking the encryption but hopefully someone will work out a defense against that threat.

I agree. That would be a believable trajectory. According to Grok we can expect 10x from here if it follows the performance of Amazon stock in the past decade. To determine how much Amazon’s stock (AMZN)

It goes quickly! My 40th will be in 2029. I haven't been to any of my reunions either. I don't have much nostalgia for the school itself. Most of my good memories from those days were made outside of school.

Thank you Joan! We're looking so forward to it all being done. The kitchen cabinet doors are being held up in customs from Canada (because of the tariff situation) so this is going to likely push the

Thanks!

Thank you Michelle! It's so hard to believe it'll soon be ten years since we last saw you and your husband in Lisbon. I hope you're both doing well!

Thank you very much!
