Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

How about ginger-ale?

I have an old (C. 1917) steel cafe-curtain rod that I want to remove some rust from before hanging new sheer curtains on it.

Ginger Ale is around 2.82. The really bubbly is carbonic acid. The drink that I like is not good for me.

An antique patina won’t stand up well. For delicate things, I use this gentle gel product, Restore, when doing restorations.

Autosol is a very good polish. It’s always good to do a test patch with any of these cleaners if there’s anything over the steel that you want to keep.

Not really sure why all the fuss once about OBEs. Unclear to me if there are more who want out of here than want in there, or how many just want to come here to be out of there? BTSOM. Everyone in my peer group read Be Here Now and grokked deeply. But actually staying in your body is something far bigger than hanging a Gone Fishin' sign on your eyelids.

And while it's true the upcoming procedure occupies many of my idle thoughts, I also know it's opening a path back to my freedom. It's like removing the patina from the curtain rod of my foot bones :woot:
 
I remember my 7th grade science teacher put some raw bacon in a coke bottle that had maybe two inches of Coke in it. That was on a Monday. By Wednesday a lot of the bacon was gone, and by Friday there was almost nothing left. Now, maybe he left it alone, and maybe he jiggered it; who knows? But we kids were properly impressed.

Here’s a way to dissolve aluminum. A base at the high end of the pH scale (caustic soda) is corrosive as well.

Life requires that we have faith. It comes in different forms. In your case your faith is in the doctors words and hands. When you drive down a street, you have faith that an oncoming bus isn’t going to turn into you. We wouldn't be able to function without faith. Without it, fear would take over and drive us nuts. Stay on the positive side of the force.

I would never try that. Sounds positively revolting. Just give me a home made turkey dinner and a "few" glasses of Chardonnay. That reminds me, Canadian Thanksgiving is coming up. Hope I don't have to order my turkey from Canada, eh.

Which holiday, American or Canadian, gets the larger turkey? Maybe Canadian because it comes first and you haven’t had it in a while. On the other hand, American portions are larger.
 
Always ask the lot wooks if there's anything "special" with the veggie burrito

Well, for us "older" folks, we get a small turkey. The better half does all the sage and sausage stuffing and baking.

After the first "small" meal, we have small portions divided up and frozen for future "small meals" along with fresh vegetables (roast potatoes, carrots, Brussel sprouts, etc.) and cranberry sauce.

We do Canadian and US Thanksgiving as well as Christmas, Easter and any other appropriate time of the year. We love our turkey!

Turkey lends itself to freezing. I save enough for a week and freeze the rest for pie. I make way too much stuffing, it’s the best part.

For me, turkey on Thanksgiving, if that's what's served, and not again until next year. No leftovers. Once a year is enough, and I especially like years when someone decides on a roast or a ham instead.

I know what you are saying. The day after a turkey dinner is always a good time for ham or, my favorite, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding with a bit of horse radish on the side...yum, yum!
