It’s based on the bridge (mechanical) resonance effect. More here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_resonance

It’s also why it’s a suspension bridge.

You'd love my mom's decorations then haha 😄

Does anyone know of any very large dog parks around? I'm trying to train my dog to be ok off leash and I need a large fenced area in case the dog wants to run off

Do they sell and ship these? I've been struggling with a christmas gift for hubby. He could definitely use a new robe though!

This is my favorite weather, especially on a Sunday. It gives you an excuse to stay home and do nothing (my absolute favorite thing to do).

So far I’ve had coffee, made oatmeal, and just made some party burgers to eat while watching football. Need to read up on my pregnancy books (we’re expecting in March). At some point we’ll decorate the tree, go to a sound bath yoga class this afternoon, then I’ll make zuppa toscana for dinner. 😌

I've always loved the James Center reindeer. It's like, a shadow of it's former self though. Anybody know what happened? And more importantly, how we can bring it back?!

Thank you - I hope so as well :D

Also watching futbol over here!

Hardywood Family Tree.

Yeah sell it if anyone is interested. It was my grandfather's but I'm not having kids so I dont know what to do with this sentimental stuff my parents give me.

It says Gersi. I dont know what to do with it. My parents give me sentimental junk and then think I'll hold onto in my tiny house.

What are you trying to do? Sell it? The pocket watch market is kind of small and specific. I doubt any local shops would be interested

Depends on what it was going to be. A few of my neighbors blew leaves for hours the other day (including yesterday). With all the wind gusts we are having (and leaves falling), now they have to start over.

My dad, several years ago, fell off the roof of the house (cleaning leaves off) just a couple of days after Christmas -- he passed away from massive head trauma. It wasn't the same after that.

Some doctors have reported seeing RSV in some adults. It's rare, but not impossible.

It gets slowly worse as you age. In the 1990s we still had big family gatherings. Now most older relatives, grandparents, parents, and other family have passed on. A lot of friends also.

Looking back, Christmas, while always special, is really something when you are a kid. Half the time you couldn't fully sleep the night before.

There’s rarely been a day in the past ten years where I haven’t told her how lucky I feel to have her in my life. I hope your psychic is right.

I think my first time there might have been in the 1980s. In any event, amazing how long it has been kept up on Wister.

That’s a wonderful idea! Having a supportive and like minded partner is the best Christmas gift. I’m still waiting for mine but a psychic said they are right around the corner.

What name is on it? The vast majority of pocket watches are pretty worthless, as they were mass produced and pretty much everyone had them back then.

Have to agree. It's getting out to see the lights, and wondering just how far some people will go. Still amazing how people get power out to all that stuff if their yard/house is really loaded with lights without blowing a breaker.

I do love some pierogi so I may need to try that. My son wanted to make dumplings a while back so I gave it a try... Apparently I have no sense of how thick dumpling wrappers should be as mine were like little loaves of wet bread with way too much filling in them.
