My grandmother found the love of her life when she was in her 50s. And they lived together till the end of my grandmother’s life. My brothers and I accepted “Auntie Irén” as a part of our lives without question.

My granddaughter (age 6) is an only. She is also very tech savvy (as are her mommies) so she knows how to have Zoom meetings with her friends and family. She does the homeschool lessons on her tablet and has Reading Rainbow and other great apps to play with. Both her mommies can work from home, so they have no money

Those early uniforms, whatever they were made of, kept catching people uncomfortably in the crotch. The “maneuver” was to alleviate that problem.

Everybody knows that the Picard Maneuver is the way they all had to keep adjusting those spandex uniforms from TNG S1.

I’ve been using Instacart for about a year now. After 40+ years of grocery shopping I’m just about burned out. To have someone else do my grocery shopping is a luxury and a treat and I always tip at least 20%. 25% if the shopper has to go out in bad weather. I’m all for them getting more money.

This is not a world-shaking problem, but I wanted to replace my poor old dead add-on webcam and found that I’d have to wait weeks for most of them. I guess everyone is discovering that they need webcams now. Fortunately I had time to shop around and I’ve got one coming first of next week.

We are some of those beloved ancient food buyers and we’ve found that the consistency of local delivery from restaurants is exremely inconsistent. Some of the drivers do a great job, but others are clearly just someone’s friend or relative who’d rather be anywhere else but delvering food.

We got a Scat Mat for a particularly stubborn cat.

It appears the intended audience is a lot younger than I am.

History class? Movie? Just how old is your audience, anyway?

At least you provided an alternative to the vile tasting Campari. 

1-800-GOT-JUNK.

Tell the ride attendant you’re a single rider and often you’ll be able to skip the line when they need to fill seats.

We were given a gift card for Applebee’s one Christmas. Problem is, the nearest one is a 45 minute drive from here. Good thing gift cards don’t expire in CA.

I love Captain Underpants. I wish something that delightfully subversive had been available when I was in school. Up yours, Dick and Jane!

Ugh. My phone’s too old for the upgrade, but I use it to control my hearing aid via Bluetooth. I guess I will have to install the hearing aid app on my iPod Touch instead.

My oldest child will be 43 in April. Somehow, I don’t think I need to know.

Our rule: If you’re given food you don’t like (or think you won’t like) you must try one honest bite. You may not make faces or rude comments. If after trying one honest bite you decide you don’t like it, you are responsible for providing your own replacement meal.

Jeez, guys. Potatoes, food processor, salt, oil.
