I don't remember the stamp prices now but when I was a boy one Christmas I helped my grandmother with her cards. There were two different prices. One of the envelope was sealed and another if the closing flap was just tucked in.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The cheapest price for a stamp I can remember is five cents. My other grandmother would buy a role of 100.

I still have some Forever Stamps left. I rarely have a need to use them.

SHAMEFUL!!!!! It should be on citizen tests!

Some nudes. Those were the grand old days. Imo "modern art" is an oxymoron.

On the recent episode of "Hell's Kitchen" the winning chefs got to go skydiving - indoors. I didn't know there was such a thing; only that from a plane,

Anyone ever gone skydiving of either kind?

Invest in a pivoting hair trimmer to use yourself (while sitting on a stool) at home.

Thank-you! I got some clippers recently. It will be a long while before the hair on my head grows out but I hate facial hair and it grows alot quicker so I plan to use it.

Farmer: "I'm going out to spread manure."

Vicar to farmer's wife: "Can't you get him to call it fertiliser?"

Wife: "It took me 10 years to get him to call it manure."

I did like the recent episode. It could be a stand alone one. In 2053 during WWIII a church full of people of different religions is transported to the Beta Quadrant. The Discovery visits them. They have developed a hybrid religion.

There are people of different races. I would have thought in 200 years because of interbreeding that by now they would have all blended into a brown race.

That is not entirely true. There are several breeds of cat that form bonds with one or more of their people. Examples include Scottish Fold, Russian Blue, and Korat.

I had not heard of the Korat before. Pretty pussy.

This whole support animal thing has become ridiculous!

I watch the show. I try to follow along but I really only notice Connor & Oliver. In the most recent episode I have no idea who that woman is who is visiting Annalise.

I don't but I do like the stories / myths about the constellations and stars.

Here is one of my favorite sites

In the recent episode they made first contact with a planet who believe that people who are born under a certain zodiac sign are prone to violence and are imprisoned.

I would think that the solution would be quite simple. Since the gestation period is known just do not have sex during the time that birth would later occur during that sign.

More than two.

Thank-you! I love to read about mythology! One of my favorite books is

I'm guessing that apple is slang for penis. I can't imagine a real apple.

Maybe he needs the money to get more tattoos?

I had not heard of the expression "golden apple" before until watching the recent episode of "Modern Family"

It has two meanings. One is sexual.

I do remember learning who was killed. What I dont remember is learning WHO killed him

Nate beat him up but it was Bonnie who actually killed him by smothering him.

I heard that on the radio. I won't be watching but if I were I'd prefer to see male rather than female cheerleaders!

Netflix has an anthology series called "Black Mirror". I've never watched it but have just found out that one episode has a ST theme, Billy Magnussin is in it. He's been discussed here before.

This movie was being discussed on the radio the other day. I never knew that there was such a book

On the recent episode of "Deal or No Deal" the contestant was Greek. His family broke plates during the show. Has anyone ever participated in this custom?

Has anyone been to the Sydney Mardi Gras?

The Aussie soap "Neighbours" is going to have a float.

Handsome blond actor now in his 50s. His acting career was back when he was in his teens and twenties, I can't find anything about his sexuality.

Love it.

 

But don't use green grapes! They're so bland when they're green. Wait until they're amber and they are sweet.

I didn't know that green grapes turned amber. I thought that they were simply two different kinds of grapes. Thanks!
