  1. It falls on 1 April this year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanamara_Matsuri
  2. Archie was intentionally shown to be a fool. Not so with Roseanne.
  3. My grandmother had a diet / weight loss system. Do not eat or drink from Friday evening until Monday morning and one could lose up to ten pounds.
  4. I'm looking forward to seeing Alice Cooper as Herod. In the original my favorite song is King Herod's
  5. I am indeed! I really only care about Will, Paul, Sonny and now Leo.
  6. Thank-you. I have been taking both Ibuprofen and DicloFENAC POT. But at my last doctor visit he said that I did not need to take both so I'm going to just take the Diclo.
  7. Because of the arthritis in my knees I don't get out often. I had a doctor's appointment on 28 February and then again on 28 March. During the intervening time I only went out twice just to start the car engine so I won't have a dead battery. I'm barefoot inside so when I put my shoes on I thought how heavy they were.
  8. Thank-you so much!
  9. Years ago I remember reading a sad story about a woman in California. She had a young child who was ill so she bought over-the-counter meds. She didn't know English only Spanish and thus could not read the directions that said not give to a child under a certain age. Her child went blind. She sued wanting both monetary compensation and box instructions in Spanish. She lost. California is so linguistically diverse that if the instructions were put in all the languages spoken there it would take a box the size of refrigerator for a small bottle of pills.
  10. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ten_Commandments_(1956_film) I'm disappointed that it will not be airing on tv this Easter.

    Bidets

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bidet Ever use one? I haven't. I don't think they are common in the USA.
  12. I don't have scales at home so the only time I weigh is at the doctor's office. I saw the doctor on Wednesday. I take off my shoes and empty my pockets (wallet, keys etc.). But while I was waiting in the lobby I noticed other patients when they weighed just stepped up onto the scales shoes and on.
  13. There is a nice restaurant across the street from me - it's been years since I've been there - but occasionally I'd go and place an order to go. And the server asked how much I wanted to tip to add to the bill. I did. But I thought if I ate there then of course a tip would be appropriate but not for take out. There's a sandwich shop a couple of blocks away. I'd order to go. I'd pay by credit card and on the machine used to accept the card there were several percent choices of how much to tip. A couple of years ago in my apartment parking lot someone broke the passenger side car window. I discovered it on a Sunday and called that day and two men came out on Monday. I paid by credit card. But the men didn't have a way to take it so I had to speak to the man back at the office and give him the info. He asked me how much I wanted to tip the two repairmen. I said $10 each.
  14. I heard on the radio that it's been renewed for a second season.
  15. I think it's great to see an increase of Indians (India) on tv. "Alex, Inc.", "The Resident", "Champions", and the Aussie soap "Neighbours".
  16. So "puppy play" is more than just getting your ears scratched and your belly rubbed. ;-))))
  17. Thank-you! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jill_Stein
  18. Anyone remember who Roseanne's sister said she voted for? It wasn't Hillary but another woman.
  19. What is "puppy play"?
  20. This is basketball but on the recent episode of "Black - ish" Rainbow's grandmother said that she liked the old days - I forget her exact words - the shorts were shorter and one could see the outline of their equipment. ;-)))
  21. I was a boy and ignorant about sports. I only heard "A"; it was only later I learned the team's real name. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I do like Babe Ruth
  22. I remember when I first heard of the "A"s I thought "Oh no! They've run out of names and are now going by the letters of the alphabet." ;-)))
  23. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opening_Day I'm not a sports fan but I did go to a Major League game once years ago. I took my father and step-mother on my birthday. Afterwards we went out to dinner at a nice restaurant. My step-mother is a beer drinker. The restaurant served alcohol but no beer. She caused a scene. But since I was paying for everything I insisted we stay. I understand baseball somewhat. Basketball moves too fast for me. I will never understand American football rules.
  24. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/entertainment/a19621697/who-is-jerry-on-roseanne/ I had forgotten about Jerry. I don't mind the politics; reminds me of Archie Bunker and Meathead. ;-))) Interesting the show has both Beckys. I'm happy to find out that Roseanne is pro Israel. Regarding Mark painting his nails and wearing girl's clothing - that's how Jude began on "The Fosters" and he is now just your everyday run-of-the-mill ordinary homosexual.
