When I was younger pre-teens, and we didn't have a lot of money, we just used actual cinder blocks and wood shelves for bookcases.

Good call, actually. I did that in college, except using big flowerpots instead of cinder blocks. Maybe I'll go that route again, if it looks like I'm stuck in with my current "move every 18 months or so" lifestyle.

When's the last time you used a rotary phone?

A Space Engineer Built Her Own Cell Phone With a Rotary Dial System

The engineer Justine Haupt said she uses the phone as "an excuse not to text."

That phone was in a room full of stuff the previous owner left behind. I saw what looks like a SNES in a box with some orginal Nintendo stuff. I need go in and see if any of it's any good. Who knows I might find the Ark of the Covenant or the Hand of Vecna in the room.

If I find the Head of Vecna I'll let you know how it goes after the grafting....

I'm going to invite Marjorie Taylor Greene over to open it. I remember what happened to the last Nazi to try.

I have had blood sugar issues where my day started at the upper end of low and would only go down from there. Occasionally it would drop to 40's and 50's at work. This had left me -EXHAUSTED- and my apartment has suffered terribly.

It started when the VA quit sending trulicity and went to Ozempic, and I reacted very favorably to that medicine. I have dropped taking any 'per meal' insulin and my daily at night insulin has been dropped 94 units to finally come to a stable number range.

as an electrician of nine years I would have t wonder if the light fixture is set up right or that the dimmer is wired properly. Or if it is bad.

Ozempic improved things for you? That's good to hear. I've seen ads for both medications. A day is coming when I'll need these meds.

As for the lighting, I'm in a mobile home that's 25 years old. No telling If the wiring has gone bad or if modifications were made, or both. My money is on both.

I know my grandparents still had a rotary at that time, but had been years since I had to use it. I'd say maybe 1999, but it was probably earlier for me than that.
