Shrugged as I read this, I definitely prefer Bradbury to Rand but then again I tended to lean to either Asimov's or Heinlein's novels when I was younger. 1

Tim W. SoCal Posted Friday at 10:51 PM Posted Friday at 10:51 PM All of us need to get our butts in gear and post WIP pics of our latest model projects before another week goes by way too quickly, the new moon arrives and we rapidly grow older. 3
Ace-Garageguy Posted Friday at 10:56 PM Posted Friday at 10:56 PM Older is kinda OK if it comes with wiser, but all too often it doesn't. 3
LennyB Posted Friday at 11:03 PM Posted Friday at 11:03 PM Doesn’t it feel like heaven right now might be what Tom Petty is currently saying if in fact he was good. 1
Tim W. SoCal Posted Friday at 11:03 PM Posted Friday at 11:03 PM (edited) Good grief, I was too slow with my reply again, but doesn't a huge stash of model cars beat a room full of candy bars, or is that just something that I imagine? Edited Friday at 11:05 PM by Tim W. SoCal 1
Trainwreck Posted Friday at 11:18 PM Posted Friday at 11:18 PM Imagine both would get messy if the room got too hot.
Ace-Garageguy Posted Friday at 11:20 PM Posted Friday at 11:20 PM Hot dog...imagine a fiery room full of porcupines and rattlesnakes, 'cause that's probably the place I'll go.
Trainwreck Posted Friday at 11:27 PM Posted Friday at 11:27 PM "Go on, there ain't no chicken in there" is what I'd have to holler at the vagrants behind the trash bins at the restaurant. 2

NOBLNG Posted yesterday at 04:49 AM Author Posted yesterday at 04:49 AM Admire yourself too much and you might be called a narcissist. 1
Tim W. SoCal Posted 23 hours ago Posted 23 hours ago Narcissist is a hard word to start a sentence with, but it is the condition of a person that is completely in love with and cares little to nothing of anyone but themselves, and will despise and abuse their own children to make themselves feel superior. 1
Ace-Garageguy Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago Superior performance and ability and accomplishment are often denigrated and criticized by the jealous and envious and insecure. 1
Trainwreck Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago Insecure people often don a mask of false bravado to shield themselves. 2
Perspect Scale Modelworks Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago Themselves, they chose this path, and now they must live with the consequences. 1
Ace-Garageguy Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago Consequences of incompetence often affect innocent bystanders.
Trainwreck Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago Bystanders lately, are those who will film atrocities for social media stardom but do nothing to curtail them.
Ace-Garageguy Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago Them cars ain't gonna check theys own antifreeze, sos I better git to it afore it hits 18 tomorrer night. 1
Tim W. SoCal Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago Night after night and day after day, the crotchety old man gets grumpy when he can't have his way. 1
Trainwreck Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago Way back when he was younger the now crotchety old man thought to change the ways of his elders. 2
LennyB Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago Elders, there is an Amish phrase about elders, "We get too soon old and too late smart". 2
