  1. My mother, who grew up in a small village in northern Sweden, once told me the "gypsies" would visit in the summer.
  2. Think it depends on context. The United States is a country in North America. The United States are diverse. Not sure I'm correct, but that's how I would speak. But then again, I might find myself saying the US is diverse.
  3. When in doubt, use another word. Funds.
  4. I liked it too. Disappointed only a few episodes, and wonder when we'll see the next season. Enjoy. It's a good watch.
  5. I saw in the paper today. He will have a place in automotive history. RIP https://www.detroitnews.com/story/obituaries/2018/07/25/marchionne-death-fiat-chrysler/813415002/
  6. I record it in cheap spiral notebook. No names, just the month/year, location, either hotel name, street name, or suburb. I only note the expenses. A typical entry would be July 2018, Hotel name, $250 + $50 tip. $25 parking. $40 drinks at bar, etc.
  7. I let you know after the Mega Millions drawing tonight. Over half a billion. In all honesty, I think sudden money can change a person. May not forever, but to some extent. Some widows/widowers go through a form of that when collecting a big life insurance settlement. Others I've known, were smart enough to manage it. If it were to happen, I would hate to become one of those poor fools who end up broke, addicted to something, and in debt, all within a few years.
  8. No, but I bought my console table for my flat screen TV from the back clearance room of a furniture rental store. 2 deep dovetail constructed drawers that I store CDs and other stuff. Only paid about $175, can't remember for sure, was 14 years ago. Wish I would have bought both of the ones they had.
  9. When I hear things like this, I'm happy to put up with a Midwest winter to have anywhere from a nice to a tolerable summer.
  10. Mine is employer based. Joined in the 80's. Still have accounts in retirement. Interest on 1 year CDs currently 2.25, for minimum 1K.
  11. "I got me a Chrysler, it seats about twenty" The B52's, "Loveshack" https://www.google.com/search?q=b52s+loveshack&rlz=1C1ZCEB_enUS804US804&oq=b52s+loveshack&aqs=chrome..69i57.6879j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
  12. I think he used to go by the name HOXSEY, but none of the links on those threads display a current ad.
  13. Tried almost 40 years ago. I still think it would have worked were I just a bit longer. Now I struggle to pick up the soap in the shower.
  14. Don't try Bank of America. Find a good credit union.
  15. If it was an incall, could be mold or other allergens at his place to which you are unknowingly more sensitive. When working, and traveling, I got a horrible staff infection in my throat the next day after returning home. It was hot and humid there, and had the AC in the hotel room going non-stop. Another time I looked at a house for sale, advertised dirt cheap. It had water damage, and the lower level had mold on the walls. Was sick for days after.
  16. And the beast doesn't limit itself to kissing.
  17. Tongue teasing, but not tongue shoving. It's subtly more in the lips than in the tongue.
  18. I read the book a few years ago. I thought it was a good book, and definitely held my interest. I've probably forgot a lot, but still remember other things. I'm looking forward to the movie, but mostly for the visuals that will go alone with his story.
  19. When I was a kid in the 60's, I grew up in a neighborhood with a ton of kids. Looking back, I remember more of them being male than female. I first thought queer meant you were different, and if you were perceived to be different, some kid wanted to beat you up. Just the nature of childhood, at least in my neighborhood. As I got a little older, and boy girl things began to happen, those not terribly interested in girls were made fun of. Called queer or a sissy, so I'm on the fence about using "queer". It's a tough question. Not all are totally hetero, or homo sexual, and some have both same and opposite sexual relationships in their lifetime.
  20. This reminded me to record my last hire in my spiral notebook. One was 6 times within a year and a half, one 3 times in just over a year, one twice within 8 months. Others I've hired (2) have only been once. One of them visited my town twice later before he retired, and if it were not for other things going on, I would have hired him both times.
  21. I once remember an older couple didn't know their webcam was on, and it was captured. Ever since then, I've kept a piece of tape over my laptop, and iPad camera.
  22. Back to the original purpose.
  23. Neighbors, when I was a kid, had a '64 Fury with push button automatic. I don't remember anyone having a De Soto.

  25. Regarding John, search fit_wet for some threads.
