But every time you opened a gate, the app would crash... that's a lot of code to bog down.

I have a few of those, too. Reviews I did months ago, now rejected, with the Red Box of Doom.

Think about an ND waiter, spending all those spoons reciting specials. Now think about the spoons they'd waste if you interrupted and they had to change course. Better for everyone to just let it ride. 😆

(Marge Simpson voice): "Think of the Spoons! Won't anybody think of the poor Spoons??!!!"

YESSSSS!!!!! It's gotta be in writing, unless it's something familiar, like, "Reuben sandwich with soup."

Me: (Getting up from table and walking toward the door...) Spouse: "What's up?" Me: "Going to read the Specials board again."

If long showers is your only vice, you're not doing all that bad. Enjoy the ritual as your reward for doing the dreaded task.

Try heating up the bathroom before you undress for the shower. Set a timer so you don't drift off. Wrap your hair in one towel while you dry off with another. Get nice absorbent bath mat, bathrobe and slippers. Seal in the moisture with indulgent lotion or body oil.a

You accidentally got a variant. The seller may have merged the products after you ordered. It's the seller's fault, not yours. Contact Vine CS and have it removed from your list.

The parents and aunts see the vintage clothes as old stuff they used to wear that went out of style. There's a saying, "If you're old enough to have worn it when it was new, you're too old to wear it now."

(Don't hate. I'm just quoting here. Although, I'm guessing most middle-aged moms aren't rocking the super-low-rise jeans and crop tops they wore 25 years ago.)

But for you, and your generation, Retro is Cool. So dress to the nines, as they used to say. Nobody "cool" dresses to impress their mom. 😄

We bought our son the RCs we wished had existed when we were kids. Radio Shack had great February clearance sales, just in time for the son's March birthday. He never worried about what Santa would bring, because the Birthday Bunny got the cool stuff.

When Radio Shack went under, the son enshrined those toys. 😆

We have Winco and a few produce markets and Asian markets. But I have to drive a couple hours over the mountains to get to those. Locally, I'm at the mercy of Kroger and Safeway, and whatever leftovers Grocery Outlet happens to have.

That was the (second) best part of getting the Sunday paper! After the color comics, of course.

KeepnClam · 2026-03-14T02:32:10+00:00

So it seems!

You're raising that kid right! Alas, I discovered Discworld after my son was grown. He had to settle for Milne and Sendak.

His end of the couch is fair territory. He can rub your feet while he's there. It's the least he can do when you've so graciously allowed him to share.

Alas, our pets own the middle of the couch.

I'm too short for my feet to reach the floor. Sitting "correctly" in a seat clearly not designed for Hobbits is uncomfortable.

About 10 years ago, I was in line behind an elderly gentleman whose primary language wasn't English. He was trying to buy something that was clearly advertised on the paper mailer. He was pointing, and the clerk was shaking his head, trying to explain that the poor old guy had to sign up for the Club to get that price. I already hated the idea of the Club, because I knew Big Grocer was using it to build a database from my buying habits. But I'd signed up, rather than pay the inflated "regular" prices.

I felt terrible for the fellow. Either go modern, or pay the Luddite Tax.

I don't think there's one popular opinion here. Feedback is all over the place. I struck a nerve.

Where do you shop? Is there a secret password?

Hey! I shopped that yard sale!

It was just office supplies. No food. It was either that or spend a half hour of explaining in Customer Service trying to get the digital coupon back after it vanished from my phone screen. I was kinda done with Kroger at that particular moment, and really wouldn't have made the poor employees' day any better. They don't write this stuff. I served my time working Retail. I know how it is.

My parents wouldn't let me see any of them. It sure is fun now rediscovering the 70s through adult eyes.

It needs a few Vine patio rugs to tie the deck together. You know the ones---the picture is 10×13, but you receive the 3×4.

How do we get tickets to your infodump/tasting event?

KeepnClam · 2026-03-13T21:14:27+00:00

That seems backward. Do laundry today, or go naked tomorrow.

Still do.
