I saw this movie when it first came out and haven’t seen it again. I guess it’s time to fix that.

I’m glad you like the smell. I don’t. And that “upscale launrdy detergemt”
aroma sticks around forever.

People who have been vegetarians for a long time lose the enzymes that allow them to digest meat, so this kind of switching could literally make them sick.

Why not go back farther? Richard Burton, Joan Crawford, John Wayne, Arthur Hill......

I read the average sized book in a day. Easy peasy.  :)

The only thing that stopped my skin from breaking out was vitamin B6.

My dad LOVED buttermilk. He kept telling us we’d love it too if we’d just give it a try.

That nuclear orange Kraft stuff doesn’t taste as cheesy as it did when I ate it as a kid (my mom would only make mac & cheese from a box).

In our household a large means we get at least two lunches and one supper.

Swamp coolers need to be cleaned religiously. Get algae or mold growing on the fiber mats and you’re cooked in more ways than one. I once worked in a business that had a swamp cooler that nobody took care of it and it smelled like dead fish every time the owner turned it on.

I’m 68, and have only had air conditioning for maybe 10 of those years, and not all at once. Including only one class, one semester, in an air conditioned classroom.

We bought some Beyond bratwursts but haven’t tried them yet. Boca used to make them and we often ate them, but haven’t seen them in years.

My vegetarian daughter-in-law and granddaughter came to visit us yesterday. I served Beyond Burgers (purchased at a Ralphs grocery store) and everyone was satisfied. Well, my granddaughter tanked up on fries, but she’s 5.

LA’s Griffith Park. There are stretches of road where you can’t believe you’re in the middle of the Los Angeles megalopolis, and an incredible variety of walking/hiking trails.

We don’t have cicadas in Los Angeles. I never thought I’d miss those screaming bugs, but I do.

I guess being old has its advantages. About the only way my mom cooked chicken was to fry it. My dad would occasionally burn a chicken on the rotisserie grill, covered in bottled bbq sauce.

We got the waterbed in 1978, actually.  :)

I’ve never watched GoT and have never had any desire to. We don’t get pay cable channels (OK, we did get Starz just long enough to watch the first two seasons of Outlander and that was a waste of money for mediocre fanfic).

I’ve always done fitted sheets diagonally, but they STILL DON’T WORK ON WATERBEDS.

You do NOT want a quiet house when you’ve got a baby in it. Make lots of noise from the day they arrive. Play music. Watch TV. Run the vacuum cleaner. Talk, don’t whisper. Remember, the womb is a very noisy place. Your kid will be acclimated to it. If you keep everything ultra quiet, the first time you drop something…
