Murphy’s oil soap UCGal? You don’t have some of that? Seems like it would be hard to substitute with something home made?

I think I’ll read “Free Will For Dummies”.

[quote=scaredyclassic]Well I was under the impression I had free will but my kids were so confident I dont that now I’m uncertainn.[/quote]
What do yo do with lots of free will or what could you do with it if you were sure you had it? Posting on blogs that’s free will. But in real life. I don’t like pretty much anyone and I have the free will to do that but my wife is mad at me about it. What good does it do me? Free will sucks unless you use it for stuff people like ,so that means it is guided by others free will at most.

I have always like a kind of healthy hippie kitchen arrangement with lots of seeds ,grains beans, and other food stuffs in little jars all over the place and fruit ripening here and there.
Maybe some live herbs to pinch off, a braid of garlic nailed to the wall. Pot racks with stained pots hanging all over the place. Maybe a pan for some crepes still on the stove. Not too tidy at all but not dirty. Well a little dust here and there some smudges on the fridge is O.K. It would be a shame to sanitize a place like this. I bet the would have a vegetable garden outside.

Choosing ones party seems to be something like choosing a church they both act like churches and the members act like the flock to the point you can guarantee their outlooks on almost anything. Each side has it’s PC and it goes to bizarre extremes of replication like reciting a rosary.

Most people are desperate to be affiliated with a clan.

[quote=scaredyclassic][quote=Blogstar]Yes, but exercising it very much is not really going to work in lots of areas of life.

For instance, I have 20 Acres with room to put up about a hundred free will advocate families in trailers , if we did that it would be Ruby Ridge all over again.

Almost anywhere you might get boldly free will harm will come to you because of it. March to a different drum is fine up to a point but most people don’t really want to as far as I can tell.[/quote]

see the lego movie. sing EVERYTHING IS AWESOME[/quote]
So the kid’s dad gets a little softer as needed since he was a jerk. The rest of the whole business doesn’t really happen because a kid doesn’t want his dad to glue pieces together and say hands off. Great movie though. Happy song and yes, I am the special and so are you. We still can’t exercise much free will.

I think Free Will was really a bigger thing in the context of religious mental and social slavery. Maybe it is in context of modern state slavery , like political correctness or something. The whole Ferguson is a civil rights issue is bullshit.

I have the Free Will not to believe any political dogma from any side and make a few choices in my life but still more or less under the directions of a lot of other influence.

Outside of how you think Free Will is pretty limited.

We are from planet Duplo and we’re here to rule the world. Even that ending gives truth to the limitations of Free Will, Meet the new boss same as the old boss.

[quote=FlyerInHi]Boarding school is cheaper and less headaches than SAHP. Teaches kids to make up their beds and be tidy.[/quote]
SAHP may be a pain in the ass but they are cheaper when you figure they get paid more or less the same for 1 kid or 6.

[quote=scaredyclassic][quote=Blogstar]In B’s world kids are in the boarding school as soon as the wet nurse in the guest house has them weaned. The blowouts come when they are toddlers so by that time it’s someone else’s problem.[/quote]

for some reason a few classic blowouts still make me laugh.[/quote]

My wife was holding our first baby kind of face to face while talking to a real estate agent here in Jamul …he projectile vomited milk fat or whatever it was right back into her mouth. Nothing but the bottom of the net style. Swish. I don’t laugh about any blowouts from the other end. Not any I had to clean up …that’s not to say they weren’t endearing moments.

I have dabbled in distance running off and on my entire life . Mostly on the last few years. Had heard about the book Born to Run, But it seemed too hyped to be worth reading and part of me thinks distance running is stupid, despite my love of it. So, I stumbled upon it and decided to take it home for a look anyway.

Couldn’t put it down. I am almost convinced that there is nothing stupid about running. Recommended for runners but also non-runners who are broad general interest readers.

[quote=scaredyclassic]For 51 years, ive seen myself as a cluttered, kind of sloppy person.  It bugs my wife, but she lives with it, I guess.  The story I’ve told myself is that’s just how I am, I don’t mind it, it generates creativity, other stuff.  One concrete problem I had for many many years was not being able to find my wallet or keys, primarily because I would just drop things randomly and unthinkingly, mindlessly.

 

Reading that book made me want to try something else, and I can tell you, without judging one mode as better than another, that it is very interesting to try something new.  And I love this.  I love getting rid of things.  I love having space around stuff.  I like thinking about where im going to put things and having a place for stuff.  I love pitching tons of crap.  I just like it.  Is this the rest of my life, progressively neater and more orderly?  Well, maybe,  I don’t know.  Im a bingey kinda guy.  It doesn’t seem like a horrible outcome to me.  There’s worse things than being neat and organized.  I think I’ll still be internally kinda messy, but as Im thinking now, it’s like a light went on.  This is how I want to lvie from now on.  I want things very orderly.  I just do.  I remember not caring, but now I care.  I don’t think ic an go back!  If you are cluttery and messy, I’d say that’s fine, but I’d encourage anyone thinking about the issue to take a looka t the book and give it a go.  It might surprise you how pleasureable it is.  For instance, I now take out and put away my coffee grinder each morning.  I used to just leave it out.  It takes a few more seconds, nothing really.  And the counter looks nice!   There’s so many little things like this.  Maybe I’m slowly trying to wind up my affairs, over a few decades, but it is downright intoxicating to pitch old crap!

 

My mother is a very very orderly neat and organizaed person, and I am beginning to suspect all my self-proclaimed clutteriness is just rebellion against what she would want…[/quote]

You should give up coffee and I’ll give up clutter.

Actually this weekend we decided to fix a few problem areas. There was a large table in front of one of the great room view windows that was catching lots of stuff and we were even stuffing things under it. So we moved it to the office and put a small table with a plant there. Also , evidently I kicked my wife out of our office about a year ago and she has been using the entire kitchen table as an office and it is really kind of sad looking. We usually eat at the Island/bar and she cleans off the table for get-togethers. So I made room for her in the office again(with the table). Enjoying those changes already. Huge difference…just those little things. Plus, I am a shit for kicking her out of the office and now I am less of a shit.

You can get a permit if you use an unlicensed contractor by stating that you are owner builder on the plan check paper work.

There is some language in there about workman’s comp and stuff for workers under the owner I think , been a while maybe some language about liability on other issues too.

The builder of record is going to be liable for construction defects going forward. I am not sure how long for a remodel maybe ten years for some components like slab or roof, like I said it’s all getting vague now …probably isn’t a problem very often.

Many if not most licensed contractors use unlicensed sub- contractors at times. On a lot of jobs the owner is in on it for a better price…but make sure you are not in on it for a higher price of all licensed bonded and insured subs. Don’t know who is on the hook for worker’s comp or liability in these cases. Just stuff to think about.
