I would have been confused too at the sight of a revolving pillar of meat.

A colleague of mine moved to New York from Hawaii, where her husband still works. They meet up in Cheyenne.

When I was widowed and did not have a regular job I kept a record for a couple years of everything I spent, including every quarter that went into a parking meter. For some of those categories above I spent nothing or very little. With a pre-teen child I spent a lot in other areas. The idea, though, is not that you…

What IS a subscription box?

He sure has been working out, though. Yowza!

From my time in karate, a person with 20-25 years more experience can certainly take care of an overeager teen.

And a card: “In memoriam, Luke Perry.” I hope their idea is as good as yours.

Archie may be a minor but he ain’t no child.

I didn’t interpret Luke’s remark to the tattooist the way you did. I thought it was about a tattoo.

As someone who was around in 1973 I really appreciate the costuming and the decor, since theatrical attempts at re-creating the Sixties/early Seventies almost invariably overdo it. In 1972/73 I had a very short dress and a pair of overalls that were just like Verdon’s flowery pants/top combination. Curiously, 2 years…

Don’t get your knickers in a twist looking for an insult. When A was first added to the abbreviation string it meant Ally.

I was offered HBO free for 6 months as part of some settlement Spectrum had with the state (?!) so I said sure. Now I get to watch the last season of GoT, having seen just one episode a few years ago. I barely know who is doing what to whom, but who cares. “Chernobyl” look excellent but so depressing. Just started…

I am not a great reader of contemporary science fiction, which is probably why I had never heard of the above writers except for Stephenson. Recently I read an illuminating preface/rant in “Memories and Visions: women’s fantasy and science fiction” which pointed out that women have always written sf but have been so…

But did they really mean “sociopath”? My understanding has always been that a psychopath is out of touch with reality; a sociopath knows what’s real but doesn’t care.

Well, we do need to exercise our antibodies.

It’s a musical. Everything is exaggerated : time, space, characters.

The servers were young guys and I suspect they just didn’t know any better. Or else they were brought up with “Waste not, want not”.

This was (cough cough) 51 years ago.

When I was in England many years ago the waiters would pour you a glass of water and if you didn’t drink it (or so they believed) they would pour it back into the pitcher.

On the one hand it makes sense not to throw out bread that no one has eaten. On the other, you have no idea whose paws have touched it. This is why I, as a customer, try to eat or squirrel away as much of the bread as I can.
