Don’t let it breech your mental security.

Besides the fact that your chances are statistically zero of contracting and dying from the common cold, your immune system will fight any viral infection whether you are aware of it or not.

The worst thing you can do is freak out and stress your body and mind. That will reduce your ability to fight off infections. Take a long term approach by eating quality foods, exercising regularly, getting plenty of sunlight/vitamin D and maintaining perspective on the reality of the situation. If you want to supplement your diet with some vitamin C and Zinc, they have shown to help combat all sorts of viral and bacterial infections.

Bottom line, you’re human and can’t avoid these viruses completely. The best defense is maintaining good mental and physical health.

Abortion should be a state's rights issue. Even if it were to become one, there will still be abortions taking place.

You also fail to take into account just how many Trump supporters were formerly considered left leaning centrists. My body, my choice is still ingrained to their mentality. You won’t win hearts and minds by taking a religious aspect on the issue.

I think you fail to see the importance of picking your battles. As a federal representative, it’s suicide to turn your nose up at what women hold dear. They are the biggest pool of the electorate. Sure, there may be a time when abortion becomes a state’s right, but for now it’s important to hold true to your personal stance without alienating those who disagree. That’s exactly what Pence did and he avoided the train wreck they put in front of him.

Anything other than what he did would have been used against him. The best thing he did was say he won’t apologize for being pro life. That took the wind out of the sails of the loaded question and affirmed his stance without attacking the pro choice mentality of the left.

I noticed Mrs Pence took hers off as she approached.

Kamala’s man gave her a peck through the mask. 😂

If Wallace would have given 30 seconds to respond, none of his theatrics would have been necessary.

It was the crux of the matter.

The only thing she did better was allow time for rebuttal. It prevented the back and forth interruptions that took place with Trump and Biden

You gotta wonder if bad actors are trying to get rid of evidence. If they started to feel the heat, it would make sense they’d destroy their fraudulent ballots.

Big and small, anyone playing games might be having second thoughts which might explain the uptick in ballots being found in the trash.

When you have an open and free market with almost no red tape, you can’t call yourself a socialist nation.

If Florida wasn’t filled with so many immigrants, wage suppression wouldn't even be an issue.

According to this article, full of “unconfirmed claims,” silence is violence. Lol.

Anyway, Israel is an ally and we will always support them with small yearly amounts of a few billion. From a geopolitical aspect, this will never change.

The current situation does not put Israel as an influencer, but rather being dragged into a conflict that is not of their making. Any previous years arms they’ve sold to neighboring countries is not an indication of support. Hell, Russia and turkey and France have all chosen sides and all Israel wants to do is remain as neutral as possible.

They aren’t killing Christians and they certainly aren’t “funding” anything. No money is being given to Azerbaijan by Israel.

It’s basically not a current term in office because of the fuckery. The people are the ones who got shafted. When the derp state attacks Trump they are actually attacking us.

They can get fucked and cry in their soup, but we should have a legitimate term of 4 years for our choice.

That’s a good beginners project.

So, slabs are usually considered much thicker than 1” in thickness and won’t be what you are looking for. What you will probably want is called dimensional lumber. These boards are usually 3/4” thick and have a perfect thickness from end to end. The width is also perfect and not wavering. Stacking a couple of these boards can give you the look of a slab without any of the milling. Pay attention to the woods you already have in the house. You don’t want to clash.

If you’d like to take it up one notch, you can find lots of 1” thick lumber at a place like rockler, but you will have to work it down to get a quality finished look. These boards are much more expensive as they are sold by the board foot and not the piece. The benefit is you can pick a highly figured piece of exotic wood that becomes a focal point. If I were making this project with as few tools and experience, I’d use a jig saw, hand drill, hand plane, sand paper and titebond 3 glue. You’ll need some clamps, too.

One piece with some hooks is going to look super basic so if that’s the route you wanna go, get a highly figured and colorful piece of wood. Leopard or lace wood, zebra wood or ambrosia maple are all great choices for that. If you want a darker look, walnut is an excellent choice and easy to work. Wood “slabs” without any cuts or edge routing will likely warp over time so it’s important to come up with some small design element. Rounding the edges with the plane and sandpaper or making a profile change will prevent twisting.

Looking at images online I see lots of alternatives that you could easily tackle as a beginner. Taking a nice piece of wider material will give you the ability to make strips of wood which get assembled to create the rack. This would stick off the wall slightly, but might be a lot more desirable in the long run. Don’t be afraid to straight up copy a design you like. Measure out what you need before you buy the wood so you get one piece to complete the project. Take a look at images with the wife to see what she likes.

As for staining, just don’t do it. It will ruin a piece of wood in a heartbeat if you don’t have lots of experience. I suggest natural oils without any color or pigment. Even these will change the countenance of the wood so be careful and test on a cutoff piece before oiling the whole thing. Lately, for food grade projects, I’ve been loving the results from mineral oil and then bees wax. There are a couple of butcher block oils with bees wax infused at Home Depot. This will give you incredible results and it’s easy as pie.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to send me a message. I’m down to help so you get the best outcome for the least money.

Life experience.

The harder you try, the harder she will resist. There is nothing you can say. All you can do is stop trying.
