    That is cool Mary! Great for a small operation but more work than I care to do. I once cut 5 acres with a scythe and hand raked it into windrows and then when dry I stacked it and combed it. It got very little penetration into the stack. For a few years, we stacked loose hay that way on the ranch but used a special front-end loader. One of my grandpas taught us how to comb it to last through the winter.

    I don't want to openly admit I have that kind of time on my hands. But there are times I wish I had access to data dumps to do things like that quickly...it's like potato chips.

    Yeah, and it gives me something to scroll past when reading. :p (Good workout for the scrolling finger, and I don't want to hear about other fingers.)

    It cracked me up to see the ones with the least amount of activity had to do with "employment."

    Good for us. As it should be, huh?

    That was my take. I thought Ken had lowered the age to 40.

    You have no idea how many times I've rescued a senior manager's Annual Assessment for them at the last minute. "Okay, you can check that box with a clear conscience. Don't ask questions."

    I think maybe we need just one forum called "Who Gives a Rip?"

    Hey Johnny, Do you have an image resizing program? Those full-sized photos can't be appreciated when one has to scroll through them. Maybe Beth can help me with scrolling finger hints and tips.

    Yeh, I try to link to the smallest ones I can find.

    Let me download them, adjust them, then upload them.

    I'm 71 but I am employed by two businesses and do freelance work for several others. At this point, I'm having trouble keeping up with it. I would think that a lot of people might want to supplement their Social Security, especially if (like me) that's the only retirement plan they have.

    Photos can also be displayed as thumbnails.

    Lots of times my posts get cut up or not posted right. It is the pressure I put on my computer pad frame, I think. The point to that vid was that you might be right, That would fit well in country living not in NYC.;)
    My daughter was putting up loose hay but I think I need big baled of packed hay.

    Yeh, I've looked for some part time or short term consulting work to augment my SS and to lend a little structure to my life. If I were still outside of DC there would be no problem. In this rural region all I'd have available is retail. There's nothing wrong with retail (I've done it before), but the work and the pay is not what I'd be interested in.

    I am grateful I have the luxury of being choosy. And I've not looked at those forums lately, but I'm not sure many folks on here still work to any degree. Perhaps folks are here because they have the free time to do so.

    I like the idea and will implement it. Right now, I am catching up on all the stuff I didn't get done during my trip to Michigan.
