Welcome / open talk

I am a fan of an app called “what3words” that generates 3 unique words for every 10 ft x 10 ft square plot of land in the world. It is used by many emergency service organizations in Canada and the US.

Instead of having to give a gps location such as -80.451506,43.416168 you give "windows.prop.remove" to the emergency service.

My wife and I received our 2022 Social Security 1099s today. That was quick!

I love Popeye’s extra Spicy hot Chicken!
Unfortuneately, since retirement from Chicago to Waynesville, NC in 2015, Popeye’s has been out of my grasp …. We did do it once in Asheville, but they screwed up the order that day, 30 miles away, and when we opened ip bag, we had wrong order!

In theory the concept appear sound, but we all know it will be abused.

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.

There are times when I have to sign in again, unless I do l cannot even open the forum.

How then is it that in “Who’s online” it will show x number of users and it says currently 43 guests?

At least at present, navigation to the moon is primarily an effort controlled from the ground, but this may soon change and as a "GPS" system is put in place.

For several weeks now I am unable to post to Keeping the windmill alive. I just get a small box and nowhere to post. I have contacted support with no reply yet. I will lose my included status as unable to post after I get the redlight cameras etc.

of incompetence?

I do buy into the notion that incompetence costs all of us.

For example, insurance fraud is a common area where it is said we are all paying for it.

One time I argued and argued with this insurance co that starts with an A and ends with an A, and is owned by a pharmacy that starts with a C and ends with a S.

It’s once again time to reflect on the things you enjoy about POI Factory and consider the members who help to make this community the great place it is.

Volunteers contribute to our community in a variety of ways. Some share their experience or expertise in the forums. Some make and maintain POI files or FAQ pages. While others submit sound files, BMP icon images, or location updates.

This past weekend I set it at 60F, which I know is a bit too high when noone is home. Just some of the paranoia of the cold temps.

In my single days I was unafraid to do 50F. Nothing ever happened.

I measured the temp in the basement and it was 55F when the house was 65F.

At times, I wonder what the relationship truly is between home temps, and the actual places the pipes are.

I was just sitting here reading some of the posts and the thought hit me; How many people on here are veterans. So, I thought this may be an interesting topic. (Or, maybe not, but I think it may be interesting.)
Me? US Army Security Agency 66-70. Vietnam 67-68. (Hence the photo of The Wall in DC. Two buddies are on The Wall.)
