Good morning to our Swedish asylum mates. I happened to find a video about a Eurovision song contest band that raised my appreciation of Swedish music. I give you "Lordi"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAh9NRGNhUU

And they were Finnish not Swedish. Must have been confusing them with Abba?

You are right - I missed the country ID at the start of the video.

OH, and UNP - just to interrupt any INP streaks. Never did like streakers - not enough of them were female.

Good evening.

Orm, thank you so much!!! I was really afraid how this evening would turn out. Now I can go forward confidently into the evening. My contingency plan was to skip evening and go straight to tonight, without any supper.

Well, if you skip supper, then you can at least have a late dinner.

But if it was a bad evening, then I would have a bad night, and might wake up on the wrong side of bed, have a bad morning, and maybe even <shudder> have a bad day. We wouldn't want that...dinner or no.

Skipping supper and dinner is no problem. You can make up for that with a hearty "second breakfast". You feet do turn hairy though ...

Sorry to have been delinquent in my Tithing to THE THREAD!!! for over 3 weeks.

Things have become rather busy on this front as I joined a virtual cycling challenge to ride 2500 miles between Memorial Day and Labor Day. We're riding the entire length of Interstate 40 from Wilmington, NC to Barstow, CA. I'm making great progress, considering I started from almost zero miles for the year, sitting at 699.53 miles in 4 weeks.

We're also cranking up our house hunting activity, hoping to find something existing, but quite possibly having to end up building to get what we want. Exciting and fun, but exhausting process.

Otherwise, we're both happy and healthy. I hope the same can be said for all of my Thread Brothers as I can't go back through 15 pages to catch up.

Most people put roofs on houses. That is also tiring.

Lordi, Lordi!

That's funny as Hell. The guys have rotting faces with improbably placed horns or fangs, yet with two arms and legs apiece. Why 4 limbs if they're rotting? Maybe have one or two fall off during stage performances since they're rotting and all? The girl has pocked / slightly less prominent rotting facial skin, but the rotting (or evil overlord /spawn of the underworld shtick) clearly doesn't affect her curvaceous legs, chest or ample bosom.

Congrats on your search and hope you find something soon. We just got an offer to refi our house. No change in term. No points. No appraisal needed. We'll make up the closing costs in 6 months. It'll save us $450/month. We're refinancing at-get this-2.75%.

Fixed, not variable APR. Total no brainer.

Congrats! We have a quote for a VA 30 year fixed loan at 2.875%. Time to buy if you can!

If I can get a good attorney, I might be able to get a house - plus money besides! No cost to me other than the effort.

Awesome! So the banks are so desperate to lend that they are offering a negative loan rate? That was really discussed on TV as a possibility that the finance system was contemplating - a sort of "prime the pump" to get the economy moving again.

Nope. Family members did things illegally. The best part is triple damages against any attorneys involved.

If you mean This THREAD!!! I guess it is just a silly fun thing that has caught on. It is off topic and I have never seen it have anything at all to do with War in the Pacific. So if ever you just want to say hello or have a chuckle this is the place to visit.

For example many visit and do not post a simple hello or good evening, but refer to everyone here as Tithe. Can anyone explain that for me too
