Quote from: Ron Pulliam on October 12, 2024, 02:07:32 PM
A day of nothing but "me" as I've slept late, putzed around, gotten mail, watched two (count 'em) two college football games (Clemson vs Wake Forest and South Carolina vs. Alabama)  Clemson won handily.  South Carolina lost by a point.

Something I failed to relate in my post-doctor visit yesterday:

I stopped at CostCo.  It was to be my first visit since November of last year.  My first thought was that the parking lot was crazy crowded, but I got a good parking space.

As I approached the entry, loads of folks were entering and exiting, including women carrying babies trailed by their kiddies, lots of people with carts blocking the entrance and me finding NO CARTS AVAILABLE.

A look inside showed bedlam/craziness.  I was scratching my head all the way back to my car after giving up on shopping...WHAT the heck was going on?

It soon came to me:  It was Friday; it was the first payday many folks had seen since Helene had struck; and many folks had gotten their FEMA checks for $750.

Oh, well. 

Best you left but the reason is was so crowded is sad.

Ron P, have you ever tried ordering online and getting delivery from Costco? 

I did that once or twice and it worked well.

Happy Birthday, Leonard!

You were looking at Leonard's photo and thinking it was his birthday.

The Gilded Age has helped me appreciate the genius of Edith Wharton more than ever. She can't easily be copied, and the series does a sloppy job of it. It's better when it doesn't try to be Edith for a new generation. You can't top Dickens, Eliot, Austen or Wharton (and so many others).

A double-holiday shilling for YouTube views

Caveat:  Possibly "political" parody YouTube

First: Asking the parody question:  When people disagree so strongly about honoring Columbus, do they still agree about wanting to keep the three-day weekend? :)

That's pretty funny, Freddie!

I remember they needed a tree stump for the set, and my hillbilly friend’s dad made his money cutting firewood, probably illegally. Dad asked, and the guy supplied a big stump and came to see probably his first and only theatrical production outside of the Grand Ol Opry. He loved the show and was so proud to see his name in the program.

Very nice, Rodzinski.

It’s a rock show, I have no idea who the headliner is but my friends and I have a friend in the support act so we’re going for their sake

That's great, Vixmom!  Hope you enjoy it!

How did "they"get your email address?

I'm sure my email address is due to signing petitions.  I don't have an outrageous number of emails and do not find them distruptive as the constant texts that beep in my ears through my hearing aids.

And lists are just sold over and over again.

The house seems terribly empty and there are no baby cuddles to be had

I have no babies to cuddle, either. My former baby is 6 today!

A Very Happy 6th Birthday!!
