Yeah - I look for a sign that I can read to verify.

I went to my great grandmother’s 100 birthday and parked the wrong way in front of her house (they tricked her into letting her 80 y.o. daughter live with her on the grounds that the daughter had a hear attack and needed help) - I was told in no uncertain terms “we don’t care how you park in the big city but you don’t…

Fewer dents /pedantry.

The Credit Union that I belong to offers fee-free use of any ATM (called a cash machine here in Seattle) but I usually get cash back when I buy food,.

WOW, you are your own follower - kind of self-indulgent.

I do not think I have ever read a romance novel (mostly b/c, if I read it, it must not be a romance novel - gawd, anyone familiar with how Sci-Fi handled ‘romance’...just NO) and I loved this article.

I think Mayo is still ours?!

Today’s 3-fer: tendies, neckbeard, & incelwaffen! What a wonderful day

How do you stop from “absentmindedly eating an entire bag drawer?”
