Oh come on, guys, not one mention of Elfa from the Container Store?

“Love it or leave it” was profoundly stupid in the 60s and it has not aged well.

An oldie but a suddenly relevant-again goodie.

After GrubHub royally messed up two orders in a row, I quit using them. And told them why. They offered me a $25 credit that had to be used on more than $25 worth of food. I told them why I would never use it.

Mother Nature provides a good built-in splash guard. Don’t remove it.

Best kids’poetry I ever read: You Read to Me, I’ll Read to You by John Ciardi.

Right, because after smoking since 1943 she’d be totally protected by vape.

Oh? Sez who? 

Windows 8.1 looks so radically different from Windows 7 that some people can’t cope. (My husband is one of them.) Windows 10 looks more like Windows 7 and can ease the transition. (He just got a new Win10 laptop and there has been a certain amount of cussing and fuming, but he’s managing.)

I just have a few rough equivalents that work for most things. 28C =82F. 10cm=about 4 inches. Oh, and buy a digital kitchen scale that measures both ounces and grams.

Slide rules were hot when I was in junior high. I talked my dad into buying me one (I don’t think he ever figured out why I wanted it). I used it for many years. I think I was the only girl in the school who had a slide rule.

This kind of thing has gone on for a very long time. When I was in grade school, “lunch for the week” was $1.35. My parents never did have that much money available on a Monday. I often got “lunch for the day plus ice cream” for 36¢ or just a carton of milk to go along with a bag lunch for a nickel. Assuming that the

Perfect! That kind of teacher always produces unexpected results. When I was in grade school, we could use a pen to do our homework if we got an A in “penmanship.” Let’s just say I used a pencil all the way through.

Well, good. The one person I know who might find this appealing used to work in an Amazon warehouse and won’t touch anything of theirs ever again. He’s real lah-di-dah about paying bills. Which is why he has no credit to begin with.

The person who throws Trump’s phone on the White House lawn and runs over it with a lawnmower will do this country an incomparable service.
