Mary, I'm a step above legally blind, help me out?

It's a party-hat with a pompom. You have to put it on. There's a little elastic band that goes under your chin.

Hey Zazzy, you kill me! And I apologize for leaving you hanging sometimes, it's not intentional, but discourteous just the same, so I'm sorry.

We usually connect very late at night - I remember going from about 3:00am to daylight one night, and sometimes when we catch up, I have to call it a night.

How's the woodworking/carpentry going? Sounds like you're liking it?

Ron, if you're like me, I seem to go more by my whims and the seasons, than the days/nights or, worse yet, the artificiality of the human time-devices, so don't beat yourself up about it, at least with me.

Flog yourself, if you must, with someone who may have a harder time understanding that sort of thing and who orient their lives as if they're always going for a critical job interview.

I will be late for my own funeral, or forget about it altogether, but won't aplologize to my maker. If I hear you doing so, I may subtly, briefly wince, but try to pretend I didn't hear that as I while away my time on an extra-fluffy cloud with an angel or two. I may even lean forward and whisper to the angels about you, something like, "He may join us, maybe late, maybe early, or maybe never and that's ok.". The angels will nod in understanding.

Are you kidding? I'm still purchasing stuff, and learning the whats and whys before possible purchase, on my own leisure (lots of You Tube videos).

They seem a bit cavalier over here, incidentally, about Forstner drill bits, and so I'm waiting for an order to be shipped in. While I have my chisels, drill bits are also where the rubber meets the road.

My eyesight is fine, but I still have to zoom in with many emojis, which you can do too if you're uncertain.

On my Apple Mac, it's pressing the command key and, while holding it down, then zooming-in by pressing the + (plus) key one or more times. You can zoom out again with the command key and the - (minus) key or reset it to the original size with command and 0 (zero) keys.

If recalled, Windows is the same thing, only using the ctrl or somesuch key (in place of Apple's command key) and the +, - or 0 keys.

Linux key combos are the same as Windows I think, unless you're running Linux on a Mac, in which case, you likely know all this anyway.

Off to look at/for a square-hole chisel attachment for an electric hand drll...

'Wait, what? A drill that can drill square holes? What will they think of next...'
