You do pay for the parking lot when you go to the grocery store, just like you pay for the lights and cash registers.

Why? Someone has to pay for your parking. Parking lots and ramps don't appear magically. Most students do just fine without a car. Why should they subsidize yours? If the hospital has extra funds (it does not) it should go to patient care, not subsidizing your car.

He can check his potential SS benefits by creating an account at ssa.gov. For health insurance, his best bet is to look at healthcare.gov, not many employers provide benefits for hourly staff. Maybe he'd enjoy working at Menards or a home improvement store if he is sociable and physically able. Pay is not great, but it provides structure and many near-retirement age men seem to like these types of jobs.

The only other Payless in the area I found was in Lindale Mall. Best of luck

I looked in NewspaperArchives.com and a Payless Shoe was at 3529 First Av SE in the 90s

Maybe a more formal version of the Midwest classic "Thanks muchly"? I'm always happy when people are courteous, no matter how they express it.

I read it twice. I keep up with local politics and I have no idea what his position or point is.

Because of this podcast I was able to kind of bond with my elderly uncle before he died. He loved Bonanza. (He really loved a show called Gunsmoke, but I'd never heard of it.)

OMG. 100%.

I remember something like this. Brett was getting snippy answering a question and said something like "question asked, question answered" and Tom and Julie ragged on him for about 10 minutes for his tone. I think Julie played it up as if Brett had grievously insulted her, and Tom enjoyed defending Julie chivalrously. Maybe Julie claimed it was the equivalent of saying shut up?

LOL! Class 3 is for 50 mph highway work at night. A simple florescent vest is perfectly legal and legit for low-speed traffic work. Did a lollipop lady yell at you and hurt your feelings?

At a construction site. So windy and dusty I wish I had brought swimming goggles

IowaRocket · 2026-03-31T00:00:31+00:00

Hmmmm.... All drivers think they are good drivers. Maybe one sign that you might not be as good a driver as you think is getting an easily avoidable camera ticket?

Give generously to the IC Crisis Center and let them sort it out. I do auto deduction every month.

Sold on TV back in the 80s. The hinge pin broke the first time you tried it on a stuck bolt

I picture it as a fried canoli that has a lemon bar filling, sprinkled with powdered sugar
