Welcome / open talk

case 1. purchased eyeglasses, using FSA, they're delayed by over 7+ days, ordered 10/31 and should have been delivered a week or so ago. Got an email to follow-up, delayed.

Log in and since I had the same glasses in the cart, saw the price had dropped $72 for Black Friday!

It takes a lot more than a Hurricane named Nicole to keep Mahoney down!

It did slow him down a bit, but after a week away from POI Factory, he's already updated 14 POI Files.

Thank you for all you do for our community, Bill!

What are some exercises in futility (or stupidity) you can think of?

Here's an example or two to get started:

Slam a revolving door.

Herd squirrels through the forest.

I pre-order these limited edition CDs because I learned--they go up in value, sometimes 3X+. So why wouldn't I?

Example, I bought 2 @ $60 on eBay, when the face value is $28, and last year, sold one for $180. That is when they are sealed--not when someone opens to make a copy then sells.

I am unable to post in Keeping the Windmill alive.I was able to download the poi files but not able to post?? Hopefully I don't lose my privileges.

Just to let members know, Nicole knocked out power to our home for almost the last 2 days. That's why I haven't been able to respond to comments. Thankfully, no home damage. Lots of debris in the yard. The last 2 have passed over us and I don't want this to become a habit.

With respect, honor and gratitude, thank you veterans.

During the pandemic I sold my first item on eBay, so I wanted a means of shipping...I found online that I could open a UPS account. Got a really good discount, to illustrate--

Say I wanted to ship a 3 lb box from PA to CT. If I walked into a UPS Store, the going rate would be about $21.

Most of you who have been around the Factory any length of time, probably know me as the Cemetery guy. I thought I would share some odd cemetery names I came across in Missouri. Some of them probably have an interesting story behind them. Other states probably have some just as odd. Let me know if you have ever came across any other strange ones.

Garmin Express v7.15.2 for Windows released today

I bought a single Powerball $2 ticket for last night's drawing and I hit only one number. Nobody hit all the numbers so the next drawing on Wednesday goes to $1.2 billion.

Perhaps you can post on a new book you're reading, a new hobby you're taking up or about random finds as you finally get around to cleaning out the..., or your most recent adventure?

Anything to keep your windmill alive.

Please keep comments polite.

I've had it since 2005, when we had to be "invited" to get an account lol

I decided we better spend the FSA dollars because as usual, unneeded.

I don't see that anyone has posted anything about Halloween. With Halloween being a time for gremlins and goblins I chose the post subject as simply Halloween instead of Happy Halloween. Scary Halloween might have been an appropriate subject heading.
