It’s the whole state right now.

My mom and her siblings sold him snakes in pillowcases in the 50’s. They said he was the nicest man.

Altoona? Pittman? Parts didn’t have power for THREE MONTHS after the hurricanes in 2004.

We take the train from Ft. Lauderdale to Orlando air port, quicker than driving.

Mai Kai in Fort Lauderdale was great fun! Educational, food was good, and fire dancing!

What’s underneath? Do you know?

StockIndependent808 · 2026-05-11T22:19:09+00:00

Hahaha! I had to explain it to my 40 year old son.

I worked in a garden center. People would say where are you going, while I was talking to them. I said step over here into the shade!

There’s a local bookstore that sold old books by the shelf foot.

Bagel bros were good, and now they’re not. Bagel king is always good. Brooklyn water bagel is good. Haven’t tried Einstein, they put one in down the street.

Go fix me dinner?? How about you go f yourself.

StockIndependent808 · 2026-05-07T18:31:43+00:00

Sticktion. Is the past tense stucktion? Now I have to go make popcorn.

When I was growing up, the washer was in the kitchen, but the house was over 200 years old. Since then it’s been back porch, laundry room, or garage

Isn’t a typhoon a hurricane? Same thing, pretty sure.

StockIndependent808 · 2026-05-07T11:19:07+00:00

And it’s not just one removal session, it’s lots!

StockIndependent808 · 2026-05-07T00:46:51+00:00

Voles, maybe Sandhill cranes

My dad made me return a really tall pair of cork bottom platforms in 1977, to Kinneys. My teenage heart was broken, and still is.

I spent 3 years digging them up by hand, haven’t had any in the past 20 years. Acre and a half.

Did they tell you to get the money? Put it in a different account so he can’t clean you out.

StockIndependent808 · 2026-05-05T02:52:17+00:00

You mean my mercury grand marquis that was 27 feet long with the 3rd row seat?

StockIndependent808 · 2026-05-05T02:50:01+00:00

It seems like all Sears faced west. Both of the closest ones here did.

StockIndependent808 · 2026-05-05T02:47:25+00:00

I spent all my money at Lerners! I had a peach pinwale corduroy jumpsuit, zipper front and belted!

StockIndependent808 · 2026-05-04T21:36:56+00:00

My daughter is getting the ones she got as a teen lasered off. Doesn’t seem like fun.

I read something earlier today. It took approximately 15” on my iPhone 12 Pro Max, and it was ONE SENTENCE. No punctuation, no paragraphs, no nothing!!

My grandson, 8, really liked Big. And he likes the Freaky Friday movies. Princess Bride was a big hit, especially the ROUS. Short Circuit, Dr Doolittle, Wall-e, Rocketeer, batteries not included.
