A long time ago in a galaxy far away, before the debit card was invented, banks charged a fee for every check you wrote unless you had some godawful amount of money parked in your checking account, which we never did. My husband fell into the trap of “As long as I’m writing a check...” and buying more stuff so we’d…

Hate to break it to ya, but Last Jedi has been available for weeks on the Netflix DVD service.

The FlyAway buses are great, and inexpensive, but they are NOT “all over the city.” They have six locations.

Well, of course it was canceled. It was aimed at a sentient audience and it talked about real history.  Can’t have that in an industry that greenlighted Two Broke Girls.

My granddaughter has that chair and she’s gone from “just able to sit up by herself” to age 4 with it. It’s a winner.

You don’t want to ride with me? Go ahead and buy me a new car with YOUR money. I’ll wait.

Baboon. Much more bad tempered than orangutans.

We bought all our kids’ clothes at the thrift store. Not only did they get top of the line name brand clothing, we had the knowledge that all those spiffy duds cost us about 50c an item so if they got hopelessly, unwashably dirty we could just throw them out.

I never lived in an apartment big enough for this. And even now that we own a house, the chest freezer is in the garage because our kitchen is the size of a hallway.

We got Captain Underpants on DVD from Netflix.

If you have terrific children who will buy you a bread machine for Christmas, like I do, you’re on your way. :)

Not a problem in the Los Angeles megalopolis. :) My son lives in Koreatown so maybe I’ll just bribe him to buy me some.

Hahahaha.... I am so hopeless at chess that when I taught my son, then aged 9, how to play, he promptly beat me and I did not let him win.

Once again I mourn that the big Korean market not far from our house closed down.

As far as I know, the raccoons, possums and skunk who scamper around our back yard at night were already nocturnal.

Prince Philip is known for letting it all hang out under his kilt, and there are photos.

Someone grab his phone and look at his photo collection. Bet that will explain his, uh, stance.

Keeping in mind that I’m older than most of you and have been online since 1983.....

People my age didn’t get vaccines, except for smallpox and polio. Nope, we got our immunity by catching everything that was going around. Even after all these years I remember how wretchedly sick I was when I caught rubella (at school).

I didn’t ask about that, but if this person was offered that much money they would see it as a windfall and take it.
