That’s just weird, having post offices closed but having most employees working. I just don’t see the point.

Ah, what? Most of the USPS is going to get a paid holiday? I’m also mourning President Bush, whom I actually met, but I don’t think that this is a good reason to waste the taxpayers money. And I think Bush would agree.

JC3 crashed a lot on PC too

My wife and I have both been using AT&T Z222 flip phones with prepaid plans. When we got them a couple of years ago to replace our older AT&T flip phones, they were $15 apiece at Walmart. We also got $100 for a year plans. Work fine, no problems.

It’s not that it’s an hour to set up things, rather that it takes time to get the hospital running and achieving enough that you get a star or otherwise unlock the new content for that level. While I understand the point of making a game of it to get the new content, it’s just that for  the sixth time (I’m on my sixth…

I’ve got about 24 hours in the game now and it’s pretty good, but I’m on my sixth hospital in the campaign and I’m finding the game suffers from the same problem that affects the Tropico series. You keep starting off with an empty building and you have to go through the same hour or so of getting everything running…

I don’t think I’ve ever thrown away an old toothbrush. They are so handy for so many uses, like cleaning tiles, doing some trick painting touches and our main use, cleaning out the packed sand from the bottom of the legs of a canopy we take to the beach.

Thanks for the info!

How about those of us (I know, a dying breed) that don’t have smart phones but only Microsoft products on their computers? Can I use an email or a text to my flip phone for the two step?

Or...be a grownup and pay your bill on time. “I forgot to pay” is just a nice way of saying “I’m irresponsible as hell and don’t bother to keep up with my stuff.”

You shouldn’t be doing the door holding if you are looking for a thank you. You ought to be doing it because courtesy is its own reward. I know that’s very old fashioned and probably out of date, but that’s the kind of person I am.

Good article! And great timing for those who want to start planning for the upcoming fall season.

If they can’t move you to a new table, you could test your bravery and ask the table to quiet down a bit. This is a riskier move, since the buttwads might give you some attitude back, leading to a potentially awkward tension for the rest of the night. But, at least you’d have the satisfaction of having spoken up.…

We got married in the living room of my wife’s house by a notary with two neighbors as witnesses. The only money we spend on the wedding was a new dress for my wife, which she could also use for formal events.

What, no flashlights?

Yup, I got the Prime Day discount and I also got my trade in discount based on the full, not discounted Paperwhite price. So the $120 Paperwhite was $50 USD, plus taxes.

Thanks for posting this. I’ve been waiting to pick up a new Paperwhite and besides the Prime Day discount I also got a trade-in discount as well. And it ships overnight for free. Very nice.

Down here in Central Florida pretty much everything is open except the more official places you mentioned. Being the middle of the week means more folks out shopping since they can’t take a long weekend. And the beaches will be mobbed of course.

Only one, and I’ve been married to her for thirty-nine years. Life is good :)

It brings to mind a 1937 review written by Graham Greene about the Shirley Temple movie “Wee Willie Winkie”.
