David lives in Sandy Hook, CT with his
lovely bride of 32 years, a dog named
Spanky and Pumuckl the cat.
I have been painting and drawing since I
can remember. When other kids got toys, I
got paper and paint. It took until I was 17
before I realized not everyone could do
this.
High School was the last formal training I
had and I have spent a good deal of time
trying to copy other peoples things to
learn how they did it
I enjoy portrait work and unusual
commissions.

Took a screenshot of what I had every right to assume was a private conversation when i was having a meltdown and shared it with a mutual friend. (More his friend than mine) Any faith and trust I had in him just died.You Can Bet Your A*s That If A Man Were In The Video Instead, Everyone In Those Comments Would Be Talking About What A Clean And Professional Job He Was Doing Smdh

YSK: If a nurse tells you that you’re entitled to a second opinion, we think you probably should. If a nurse goes out of his or her way to tell you this, they either don’t like your doctor or don’t agree with him/her. We can’t tell you this outright, because it’s unethical (in some circumstances) and could get us in hot water. Edit: wow! Never expected this to get so big. Thank you for all the awards. It should be mentioned that any advice from any nurse or doctor should be taken with a grain of salt and with consideration of your relationship to that person. It also depends on the setting you are in. A second opinion isn’t a bad thing and often times doesn’t mean the diagnosis is incorrect BUT sometimes there is more than one way to deal with things. (Treatment for cancer, surgical vs. medical management etc ). Sometimes it’s just nice to have two docs saying the same thing, especially when it comes to significant issues. I merely wanted to point out that because of the broken system sometimes things aren’t as they seem. Just know if you have reservations or concerns you have the right to address them.interesting-things-you-should-know
YSK If you are a homeowner or renter, your home has a main water shut-off. The time to learn where it is, is right now. When I bought my home 8 years ago, the prior owner made a big deal of showing me the water cut-off. It is in a closet. Today a pipe burst under my sink, and tons of water starting pouring everywhere. Luckily, I remembered where the cutoff was, and I killed the water to the whole house. Zero damage. Just a big mess to cleanup. If I didn't know where that cutoff dial was, it would have been thousands of dollars of damage.interesting-things-you-should-know

YSK That there is a Youtuber called "Dad, how do I?" that explains everyday things that might need a father-figure to help you with.
His Dad walked out on him when he was 12, he makes maintenance vides for people with no Dad. It's just basic stuff but I know friends of mine that have watched his videos in the last couple of weeks and it has made a real positive difference to their life. He does videos from how to tie a tie to even how to check your car's oil. Very helpful stuff that everyone who doesn't have a dad or just wants some DIY tips should know.

Boomers, hands down The vast majority of boomers are sweet elderly people who are nice to talk to. Not racist caricatures that spout nonsense all the time.Minute_Chemist7325 reply

Valerian and the City of A Thousand Planets - needed better castingEnder's Game - should have been an animated movie instead of trying to work with child actors.
