@Renauda thats pretty cool! I have been by Virginia city, but not in it. It’s a big tourist attraction in the summer.

@Renauda We are in Butte. Been here since 2018. That whole valley from Twin Bridges to Virginia City is really beautiful. So many cool old buildings in this part of the world that are still standing because it’s so dry here. Butte has a huge Irish population. Copper mining history (and they are still surface mining here) - an incredible amount of $$$ still comes out of the ground every day. Also, the largest superfund site in the US…

No. I’m in Montana.

She hated the dog. She took the untrained/excitable dog hunting - threw it into a overstimulating situation with a bunch of other dogs and birds - in a shock collar - and it “wrecked” the hunt. She stopped at the neighbors the same day, somehow the dog got out of the truck (hard to “escape” a truck without help from an human) and it killed some chickens. She was likely mad and embarrassed and so then she goes home the very same day and shoots the dog. And also shoots the farm goat? She’s got some pretty big issues. And she has no fucking business owning animals. Not all animals are suitable for the jobs we think they are bred to do. Especially if you do a shit job of training/preparing them. That doesn’t mean you get to shoot them when they act like the animals they are. It’s not a dog’s fault when it kills livestock. That is all on the owner. It’s absolutely the responsibility of a dog owner make sure that the dog doesn’t get into a situation where it can kill livestock. If your dog can’t behave off leash, then keep it on a damned leash. I totally get that sometimes the most humane way to deal with a “dangerous” (domesticated) animal is euthanasia (sadly most of those have been messed up by humans due to poor training, neglect or abuse, and they react aggressively out of fear, and are just trying to survive the only way they know how) but I just don’t see how that is the case here. This was a young dog that likely could have lived a good life with a different owner. She really sucks. I hope she never lives this down.

She put that dog into situations that she knew it wasn’t going to be able to handle and then she killed it when it lived up to her expectations. Stupid Bitch.

I got an email notification that someone had answered a question I posted on a YouTube video (that Improv posted) 15 years ago. Apple and her Estonia. It got me thinking about how long many of us have been “hanging out” with each other, and all things we’ve lived through (and argued about ) together online. It started for me with the original piano world forum in 1998 or 1999 when I asked a question about a used Mason & Hamlin. Funny how you can feel like you know people you have never met in person.
Video here: (it’s gotten over 5K views!)

@Renauda Oh cool! I have a bunch of those that are listed on that website - and was going to post photos, but now I know what they are! Thank you!

Awesome, thank you. These stamps belonged to Steve’s uncle , most are from the early 1900’s. I’ve gone down a major rabbit hole working on an art project that started with my moms collection, and then I dove into the rest of the boxes trying to find a specific stamp - which resulted in my OCD taking over and getting them all organized into proper glassine envelopes together… (a lot of them were in old yellowing wax paper sandwich bags,) there are a few more that I can’t figure out. I think stamp collecting is one of those things that nobody does any more. Most all of them I’ve looked up so far you can get for between 25 cents and a few dollars online. And they all get listed as “rare”by someone on eBay for $5,000. And those are the photos that show up first.

Think the bottom right is from Greece? It’s got different letters from my others.

@Klaus I didn’t even think about using Chat GPT. Excellent!
-
@bachophile Very cool, thank you!

I have been diving into the rabbit hole that was my mom’s stamp collecting obsession. She’s in memory care and so I brought it home with me this last trip. I didn’t realize she was till collecting, (she started as a kid) pretty much every stamp from every letter she’s ever received. Many of them still attached to envelopes. My plan was/is to create some sort of art pieces with them, but they are pretty fascinating to just look at individually. So beautiful.

Sent a picture to my mom’s husband (he’s Japanese) he said the top says Philippine islands postal service. The bottom is 5 centavos (in Japanese) he thinks it was from when Japan occupied the Philippines during the war. (And I just found a photo online of it that confirms that)
-
Though it doesn’t look like my other vintage Japanese stamps. The characters aren’t quite the same.

Thank you.
