Welcome aboard Tori. Glad to see someone who is into challenging themselves with building scenery. Don't worry about people laughing at you here. This is a great forum to come to for help. And for those who may laugh at you, ignore them. Not worth the time worrying about them.

Very well done!!!:thumb::thumb: Nice work on the weathering although the shine does show. Bit of dullcote should take care of that though. Keep up the very good work!!!:thumb::thumb:

Yahoo! Hi there. As an update, blood pressure holding steady at 145/85! Meds, diet and exercise are having a pretty good effect.

The ones in their teens to mid 20s or the ones older than 30? :mrgreen: You're right about that though. I've seen teenagers and younger kids who are very interested in this hobby (and others).

I like reading the sigs myself but as mentioned, find it just a bit annoying when the sigs take over the whole page. Nothing like one that is simple. :mrgreen:

That is very true Mountain Man. I've had a cousin and two close friends die of cancer just this year alone. One of my friends started with an annoying cough. When he went in, he found he had lung cancer and by then it had spread. As an update: Blood pressure coming down but still high...

Shaygetz, my hat's off to you.:thumb: Very well done!:thumb::thumb::thumb:

Not at this time. The extra meds are starting to help and while my pressure is still too high, it's not as high as it was earlier. The doctor wants to get my pressure back under control and then it's a regimen of exercise and diet. For now, the only exercise I'm supposed to have is a short...

You're very welcome. My Dad died at the age of 47 from complications from a heart attack. Things would have been much more different had he got himself checked. N Gauger, I'm glad to hear your blood pressure is holding steady especially with diabetes. I have loved ones who are diabetic and...

Oh man! MCL RDG, Sorry for laughing but that was wild! Maybe that's why my wife doesn't drink coffee!sign1 I'm the only coffee drinker in the house so I just make one cup in the mornings using one of those holders that go over the cup with a cone filter. One morning, I was not exactly working...

Here's hoping you get your order okay. That is the worst customer service I have heard of yet. Reminds me of when I had subscribed to a couple of newspapers for home delivery and finally told them where they could put them. I told one guy "I find the box on the corner gives better service and...

No Mountain Man. I believe you may have hit this right on the head. Here's a thought for the magazines, encourage their younger readers to submit pics of the smaller cheaper layouts that were just started. There were times I got discouraged thinking that I would never have the cash or the...

Likewise. It is very hard work keeping a site working smoothly and ensuring people are behaving themselves without coming across as a tyrant. I've been a member of other forums and one I am on came dangerously close to collapsing entirely due to a lot of nonsense from people who would just come...

Hey steamhead. Thanks for your wishes. Looking forward to that myself. Meds are making me a bit sleepy on the extra dose but I was warned about that by the doctor. I've been laying down most of the day today taking it easy but will be going for a short walk tonight as the doctor ordered.

Yeah. No kidding. When I first sprained my ankle, I muttered a few words. Now my wife and I are just grateful that this is being tended to now and that this didn't involve calling 911 or worse. Thank you very much for your wishes.

Hey there folks! Sorry I haven't been around for awhile. Been crazy over the last few months. Anyway, I had a pretty bad scare this week which started with a trip to the hospital. I had sprained my ankle when I tripped and went it to get it checked. The hospital as part of their normal...

Unless I missed it in the thread: "End of the line" as in, "My car is at the end of the line".

Now that would be a sight to see!sign1 Sadly, cloudy where we were and while we were out early in the morning (going to work), we were out too late to see it even if it was clear. <grumbling>

As long as I can see it, I'll stick with HO. However, I am still willing to experiment with other gauges. I remember with fondness (and the occasional swear word), the fun I had wiring the scenery for my friend's N scale Christmas train set. Looking back, that was a real blast! Street...

They definitely do!:thumb::cool:
