Eric. Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Yeah, babies having babies is totally common in 'murica. They even have a show about it on MTV...16 and pregnant or something. People act like getting knocked up is some kind of accomplishment, as if it takes skill. Congratulations, you don't even have a job or a partner or a place to live. Just what the world needs, another one of YOU. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Actually, the math doesn't work out quite that bad.. If you start at 20 and your child follows in kind, you'd be a 40 YO grandpa.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 My grandma and great-grandma were both producing young'uns by the tender age of 17. And both married well in advance of that. My grandmother had 4 generations of decendants when she passed at 85. Might be 5 generations, I'll have to check the cousin tree, there are a bunch of us.

Cliff Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 My mother was a grandma at 36. Because my sister was very stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombarde16 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 (Trying in vain to get this thread back on track.) One person mentioned strips so I'll chime in with an application for long, thin scraps: Story sticks. Once you build a project with a set of story sticks, you'll find your tape measure looks far less appealing.

krtwood Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I just filled up 10 flat rate boxes with scraps to get rid of in my etsy shop on the cheap. All longish thin stuff good for cutting boards. I just don't have the time or desire to do them. I still have probably 3 times that much scrap, but we'll fix that once they finish the road construction in between me and the transfer station. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gee-dub Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I have a finite amount of space for scraps. If I have something I think I should keep I go look at the other scrap of that type I already have. If what I am holding is better than one of the pieces I am already saving the good one stays and the lesser one goes. This keeps me in plenty of scrap without invoking the "Tribble effect".

If I am not by my lonesome, what defines if the wood is worth keeping or it needs to go? How is the wood kept/sorted so that without much bother you can scan the scraps for that 'perfect' piece when the need arises? I distinguish between smalls and scraps. Scraps, as I see them, can serve no function. Not as a part and not even as a sacrificial piece. These scraps, if clean and free of paint, finish, etc., serve as wood for campfires. The rest head for the trash can. If a piece can be used I hang onto it. My size limit is 2 ft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
