BigK got a reaction from MartyB in The Marvelous Mrs Maisel
I love it. To me it seems like an homage to Joan Rivers.

BigK reacted to + purplekow in Ice Cream Trucks?
My parents bought a set of Encyclopedia entitled the Wonderland of Knowledge. The set came with a world Atlas which included maps through the ages of civilization and a globe. My parent's told me they bought the books and I think they were expecting an excited reply from me. This was not the kind of purchase that was made in my household, one in which meals were not guaranteed. I was perplexed and could feel their disappointment in my lack of enthusiasm. Still the books came and were placed in a built in bookcase that was at the head of my bed in the attic. I was about 7 or 8 when I started reading them. As G56Whiz said, I read them like a novel. Each night reading before I went to bed. I can vividly recall reading the section on Army which included the salary that the various ranks earned and thinking that being a private was not such a good deal. Arkansas, which I thought was pronounces Ark KAN sas. I think it took from the 2nd grade to the 5th grade to read all the books. I recall poring over the maps and envisioning the changes in the world with countries coming and going. The globe was for down time. I would spin it and allow it to slow down by rubbing against my fingertip. I would then write down the country which was pointed out on each spin. I had a bit of a contest. Surprisingly, after many months of doing this, Italy was the country which was pointed out the most. That result may seem odd, but the globe was constructed in such a way as to have a seam which ran along the longitude running through Italy. Still, all that spinning and denoting gave me a significant head start in understanding world geography.
So though I did not show the kind of initial excitement my parent's were expecting when they scraped together the money to buy the set of books I did not really want. In the end, it was probably the most important purchase as to my intellectual development. I hope at some point they got the satisfaction of knowing that.

I've used the skillet method to reheat pizza. It works great!

BigK got a reaction from Bertster in Superhost!?!
Hopefully he's using some of his earnings to invest in Real Estate. Or if he travels for work frequently he's monitizing his own residence. Hope it works out for him.
Then again maybe he's offering a bed, breakfast and me.

BigK got a reaction from + PapaTony in What would you do???
I agree with your leaning towards option 1. Too many red flags with the non texting new guy. Although I just had a situation with a regular changing his phone number. He sent me a text from a new number and I had to respond who is this?

BigK got a reaction from liubit in Belami Going To South Africa
I've gotten into the habit of not flushing every time I urinate only when in my own home. I usually wait until I've gone 3 or 4 times. No water shortage here but there certainly are water shortages in other parts of the country.

BigK got a reaction from m4same in travel cash
See if one of your credit cards has no foreign transaction fees. I think most airline credit cards have this feature.
I know I have a United Milage plus credit card and a British Airways and they both don't charge foreign exchange fees. Again Credit Cards have the best possible exchange rates.
