THIS FORK IS OLDER THAN I AM

Well this is from a set of cutlery my parents had since the 1950's. So it's older than I am. It's the only one of it's kind I kept and I did so for the memories. The other forks I have are a lot more new and better quality.

For some reason there was not a complete set of cutlery however. There where no tea spoons or table spoons. However there where several butter knives, some forks and a couple of serving spoons. I don't remember ever having meat knives in the set, just butter knives.

I'm kind of sure most of them where tossed out or lost many years ago. I however always wanted this kind of fork as a kid and I don't know why now as the newer ones are much nicer.

When I moved in here I had a tone of these things and gave away all but 4 of each kind of cutlery. I have since managed to lose a table spoon some how and I got not one clue where it went. I must have tossed it out by mistake.

I have a couple of carving knives but they kind of suck actually and I might get rid of all but one of them. The other 2 are not nearly as good as that one. I already gave away the bread knife - I'll literally never need one.

Perhaps in January when I get the GST Rebate if I'm not behind in money yet again, I'll get some new stuff and get rid of all these old ones. The newest ones are at least 25 years old.

I don't need fancy, I just need something to use. Simple is good - I don't need to impress. I do however want a better carving knife for when I have a ham or a roast (almost never do).

Have a good one all.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

AI Image Generator Is Not So Intelligent

Image
Images created with Deep Dream Generator , and are free to use.   Asked for "a child walking into the sunset with the ghost of his grandfather." Got this instead. Asked for "a grandmother holding a baby in an old kitchen while a cat sits on a window that is streaming sunlight." This one actually worked, "a mother and son on a park bench eating an apple."

A Comment That Just Made Me Wonder About The Person

Image
I normally go out of my way not to make a deal out of comments but I'll do it this time. Please don't go looking for the comment either, leave the person alone please. So when you do a review of a movie, or on a trailer for a movie, you put the year it was released in brackets after the name, so people no it from another movie of the same or similar name. This is standard practice. How someone could be on the internet for over a week and not have noticed this is astonishing to me to say the least. Then again this channel of theirs is less than 2 or 3 months old only, so there is a possibility they are just trying to be funny, or trying to draw out a bad reaction. I don't look down on the person for this in any event, but I just am wondering how the hell you don't know this. They seem to think the (2023) is when I uploaded the video when in reality it was indeed 2024 when I uploaded - No one is trying to fool you dude, it's not a trick. Anyway, here is the comment in...
