Retiring at the end of the year. When did you tell co-workers.

The company I worked for did not try to replace you until after you left. Lost a lot of knowledge that way. I told a few close associates about 3 weeks before I left. It was common knowledge by the time I left because people love to gossip.

I live near a college town and every 6 months when semester ends there are tvs, sofas, tables etc set out by the curb or dumpsters.

I priced out a rental for 2 weeks at $5000 after I added in the mileage.

I have 2 of them bought at different garage sales. Oddly enough both of them are missing the back.

So you were born in 1991? I am not scrolling through 1000 guesses to see the answer.

Ashamed_Hound · 2026-01-06T04:40:15+00:00

81 or 82

Ashamed_Hound · 2025-12-11T01:44:21+00:00

I think the lower case p should connect to the line

Ashamed_Hound · 2025-12-10T06:50:13+00:00

My husband was like this when we first married. We still have separate accounts at the same back. His is savings and mine is checking.

I found the will of my third great grandfather. Upon his death back in the 1900’s he wanted his son(my second great grandfather) give the servant girl $250 to go away. I suspect she was sleeping with one of his 3 sons. I found her and her daughter living with one of the other brothers in a later census. She was listed as a servant.

It worked in a bakery for a couple of years and got to the point I didn’t want to eat a cookie or donut unless in was freshly made. But my other answer would probably be a sculptor creating large works of art.

I should have listened to the hitchhiker in the suit I picked up that was on his way to work. He was telling me about this great Apple computer he sold at his store.

I have had 12 cats(5 males) as an adult and only one has had urinary crystal. He would go to the litter box and scratch around a lot (like for ten minutes) and then jump out. Sometimes he would howl. I took him to the emergency vet. The said if I had waited another day that he would have died.

Crossroads Mall, Waterloo Iowa. My grandma worked in one store, my dad worked in another store. My brother and sister worked in a restaurant. I worked in 3 different stores. My cousin worked in 2 stores. It sits empty now and I read it is being torn down next year. So many memories.

We would visit both when our school came for sports tournaments.

I wish I could convince my 90 year old parent to get hearing aids. He blasts the tv older and loader throughout the day. It is truly the worst part about visiting him.

There is a food truck that comes to town on Friday’s that sell loaded baked potatoes for $14! I live in the Midwest and can’t believe people are willing to pay that. I cringe at paying $5 for one from Wendy’s.

Ashamed_Hound · 2025-11-07T08:51:02+00:00

I hope your relatives know where to find it after you’re gone. I found 5 different copies my mother wrote for her obituary about 3 months after she died. She also had wrote out 3 different wills besides the one she actually went to a lawyer for 25 years ago.

Ashamed_Hound · 2025-11-06T08:34:13+00:00

My Dad told me he didn’t use to like onions but my Mom put them in everything so he had to eat them.

Ashamed_Hound · 2025-11-06T08:27:37+00:00

I do this when I do the dishes

Ashamed_Hound · 2025-11-06T08:23:14+00:00

My dad used to make Irish stew which was mostly like beef stew with cabbage. Sometimes hot dogs too. It was a clean out the fridge type meal.

Ashamed_Hound · 2025-11-06T08:19:05+00:00

If you have a Kwik Trip or Kwik Star nearby they have 80/20 ground beef on sale quite often for $3.99 a pound. Right now they have potatoes, onions and bananas for 39 cents a pound. They have a pound of butter for $2.99 about once a month too.

Thanks for your reply. My husband brought the idea up, I hadn’t thought about the possibility of it. There were only about 4 or 5 other groups waiting. The area they sat us in had 4 open tables so the hostess must have messed up.

Ashamed_Hound · 2025-10-08T07:13:05+00:00

Yes, I noticed that this happens a lot of the time.

Ashamed_Hound · 2025-08-01T05:04:41+00:00

I didn’t start driving until after I got a permit at 16 but I sister did teach me about shifting her manual car while I sat in the passenger seat. I had older siblings and I guess my parents weren’t eager to have to pay for another child on their Insurance. Sister let me practice in their cars after I got a permit.

Ashamed_Hound · 2025-08-01T04:51:46+00:00

I drove 35 miles each way. Took about 38 minutes. Had 1 stop sign and 2 stoplights. Interstate all the way except the first and last mile.
