I could stop on my way home, get 4 new tires on the car while I shopped for a new camera, a couch, a box of 10 penny nails, and a fridge. And milk, of course.

Thanks for the memories! We used to have a chain of stores that sold furniture, appliances, pet supplies and live fish, automotive anything, audio/video everything including car stereos, aaaaand groceries. All under one roof. Closed on Sundays. When the old man died his kids ruined the business.

Look... I'm sorry! I canceled Hulu because I can get the same, commercial saturated content for free with an outdoor antenna. That doesn't make me Hitler. Lighten up, folks!

I have two of those. And now, 20 years later, still not sorry.

Another example of guns not killing people. Perhaps the founding fathers should have guaranteed the Right to Bare Arms.

I often read and enjoy your comments. You strike me as a talented and intelligent person. I am no one of importance in the grand scheme of things so why would my comments, vitriol or compliment, really matter? On the off chance that they do, please accept my gratitude for the good you add to my day.

Love and Robots, perhaps the final episode, portrays the extinction of the human race. It's hilarious!

The NYT appeared on my doorstep so I tossed it to the neighbor's but it just kept coming. Neighbor and I travel so almost never see each other. After a month the Times called for late payment. I had never subscribed! They threatened collections and I called their bluff, they had proof. Jerks.

The attention grabber for me is, "...why wouldn't you want warmer weather in the northern regions?" (Later that same century the "Bread Basket" blows away in violent dust storms.)

I'll see your album and raise you 6 surround sound speakers, a center channel, and two sub woofers. The stuff dreams are made of.

I like to peel 3 potatos and cube them, then toss them in a bread bag with chopped sweet onion and some peanut oil. Inflate the bag and shake vigorously. Drop the contents into a frying pan until nicely browned, season to taste, and serve under a thick blanket of fresh, hot sausage gravy.

The same thing happened to my daughter, five positive interviews. Boom, not hired. Four months later they call her out of the blue, offer her a better job, and said she was the only candidate. She starts in October. Perhaps your story will have a similar ending. (fingers crossed)

Here's to you and here's to me, And if we ever disagree, To hell with you and here's to me. Or something like that. I never really had any friends to share that with.

My mistakes followed me. That 17-year-old boy should pay and pay and pay some more. And other boys should see his example and maybe decide to behave responsibly. But no, the GOP prefers little or no accountability, especially if it makes them filthy, stinking rich.

Mine are all horizontal, all three stories. All the 3-way switches have to be down when the lights are off. My sock/underwear drawer is a disaster. One has to draw the line somewhere.

Marriage can be like a shoe store; lots of nice looking shoes but they don't all fit and some just fall apart too soon. Blame the shoe, not the foot.

Nuclear power was my first vocation. I loved the science, and still do. I finally concluded that we were planting the seeds for our own destruction. I don't panic and fuss about it anymore. Doom and gloom is such a waste. I'll be dancing and singing until the ship slips below the waves. Join me!

For example only: I would discard free front row tickets to a Taylor Swift concert if the Orange Skidmark was also appearing. Hmmmmm, but now that I think about it I probably WOULD go if he was appearing as an ash-filled urn.
