Yes! NO MORE OLD WHITE GUYS! (This from an old white woman.) It’s not about old, or white or male; it’s about the combo. And maybe throw in Rich. This combo has not been working out for anyone whose not one of these  since I can remember (and I remember Nixon).

I have Jules and the Polar Bears on Vinyl!

Look for the Clear American Sparkling Water - 12 cans in a white box for under $3. No artificial sweeteners. Comes in strawberry, blackberry, lime and PEACH.

A lot of the stuff with the Clear American label is just diet soda with no coloring. But there is a line of Clear American just called sparkling water that doesn’t have the artificial sweeteners. At my Walmart, it’s only available in cans, is usually on the bottom shelf and comes in Strawberry, Blackberry, Lime and…

Using Ketchup is how my grandparents in southern Ohio made Beef Stew. It’s better the second day. Still my favorite. (We also use ketchup when making baked beans and meat loaf.) Now I’m hungry. These were some of my favorites growing up but I can’t cook as well as my grandmother who died in 1985. She never measured or…

I’m with Dionne - I don’t get the whole “Beyonce” thing either. 

This very morning I’ve been searching for images to make printed handouts to promote a public library program. It is becoming harder and harder to find good, free images that print out well on cheap printers. Didn’t find any on creative commons either. god, I miss Microsoft’s crappy clip art. At least I could usually f…

Wish I did. I let my grandmother talk me into selling all my dolls to my aunt for her kids ($35!). So sad to walk around my grandmother’s yard and see doll parts in the mud.

I loved and still love Barbie and don’t get the big deal either. My first was the bubble cut Barbie (which dates me). And I had every year’s incarnation of Barbie until I was 12 yo. I don’t remember ever feeling like I needed to look like Barbie. I also had a love of history, especially ancient history, as a child. I…

My grandmother (who would have been 100 last year) claimed she knew a woman who gave birth to puppies. The woman had a pet dog that slept in her bed and puppies were the result. I tried to explain that it was biologically impossible for it to happen and the dog was probably female, but she said “I SAW Them!” Not the…

Older reader here... I can name at least three jobs I got, in part, because of my thank you LETTER. Typed. Personalized. Printed. Mailed. This includes my current job that I have been at for over 20 years. My letters thanked the interviewer(s) and reiterated my qualifications based on what I learned in the interviews.…

Well’p - guess I am officially old because I think he looks ridiculous. Now Adam Lambert, on the other hand...

What if your shower is fiberglass?

McDonald’s Fries haven’t been any good since they stopped making them with Beef Tallow in 1990.

Nope - Zombie apocalypse - so the rest of Life on Earth can survive.

I frequently eat cottage cheese for breakfast or sometimes dinner. I prefer fruits, especially cranberry relish. Now my grandfather liked canned peaches and a liberal sprinkling of black pepper or, jarred pickle brine (dill or sweet, didn’t matter, but not the pickles - he literally had no teeth) and a lot of black…

Bobbie Gentry did it the best.

Have to disagree with everybody - If you want REALLY GOOD GRAVY for your biscuits and gravy use BACON, not sausage. I grew up in rural southern Ohio and Biscuits and Gravy were an almost daily thing in my grandmother’s house. She used bacon grease. I never heard of sausage gravy until I saw in in restaurants in the…

She’s an 8 or 10? Thanks to vanity sizing, her 20 might be a 24 at most plus shops. Let her go to Target or a Walmart and get into a 10 - wouldn’t happen. She looks like a 16 to 18 to me. She looks a little larger than I was in high school and that was my size then.

You and me both. Everyone I know who has used 10 hates it. We have One computer at work that runs 10 and no one wants to use it. I still prefer Office 2003 (currently have 2o13 on my work computer - my old one that was running 2003 and XP died this spring at age 10). I’m thinking of ordering 2003 discs on ebay so I…
