  1. Today: 1 scrambled egg, 1 bacon, 1 piece of toast with a little jam and a glass of milk for breakfast; 2 airline cookies and two cans of juice for lunch; fish and asparagus and 1/3 of brownie with chocolate syrup and a bite of vanilla ice cream for dinner. Breakfast in California, lunch somewhere, and dinner in Florida.

  2. My mom was hugging walls, too, until she got a walker with wheels for around the house. I was more afraid that she'd fall when hugging walls then have an accident with the walker. It took her a while to remember to always use the walker in the house. She got two wheelchairs for $10; one from a thrift store and one from someone that didn't need it any more. Of course, the wheelchairs needed someone to push them.

  3. I’ve touched and used everything in that video. I don’t

    miss any of them....other than my nostalgia for holding

    high quality printed photographs.

     

    I have to admit though I never got the hang of a slide rule.

    That was already really dated by the time I was in high school,

    and I never touched one after that.

    I won a slide rule at Poly Royal math field day when I was in high school. I used it in college. I still have the slide rule, but Poly Royal was canceled, but reinstated in 2001. I still have several items pictured, but only two or three jacks.

  4. Had stuff stolen out of my car in SF, LA, and in my home city. Especially annoying in LA since I stopped for a few hours on my way to San Diego. All my clothes were stolen. I bought some at Nieman Marcus and got a discount for signing up for their credit card, never used again. Had my car stolen at gunpoint; my wallet stolen at knifepoint. Was burglarized once - they even stole a pillow case to carry food from the freezer. My wallet disappeared at the Atlanta airport in 1995, the first time I'd ever needed ID to fly home. The only loss was $2 on my credit card, but it was hard to get home without ID. My Saturday night bridge club was robbed at gunpoint. My partner experienced that - I was on vacation in Boston at the time. My rental car was broken into in Washington DC - the window was broken so they could steal a bag with my bowling shoes in it. I guess I've been more careful lately - nothing like that has happened in the last ten years.

  5. I knew one gay thruple that was a long term couple and the third they added, and apparently it ended with hurt feelings on the part of the third. I think that couple tried it one or two other times and then eventually they broke up with each other at around the 20 year mark. They still seem to be friendly.

    I used to be acquainted to a threesome - m/m/f. They were all creepy.

  6. I have always felt sorry for children who misbehave in restaurants. It is really the asshole parents who are to blame. The parents are too busy doing their own things to spend the time teaching their children how to behave.

    I dislike old people (I'm 77) who drive in the fast lane (75 mph) at 55 mph. I drive 80 mph.

    I dislike old people who have a cart full of groceries and get in the 10 items or less line, at the market, and play dumb.

    I dislike old people who in the grocery check out line wait until their groceries are totaled, then search for their check book and when they eventually find it ask the checker to borrow his/her pen before they start writing out their check.

    I dislike people who no longer feel the need to say excuse me, thank you, or you're welcome.

    I dislike people who, in a crowded place, insist on talking on their cellphones in a loud voice. Do they really think I give a fuck about their conversation.

    Unfortunately this list could go on and on.

     

    It's not just the old people who take a cartful of groceries through the under 15 items or less line. I applaud the clerk who sends them to another line. My mom knew the names of all the checkers, and she wrote checks, too. Of course she always had a pen with here checkbook. I don't like the people walking down the sidewalk talking loudly. I want to check to see if they have a Bluetooth in their ear, or are they just crazy.
