OMG, Barbetta! The last time I ate there was 1959. Is it still there?

I had a cousin who lived in Holland, MI. He was an alcoholic, but I don't think that was the reason.

He is obviously not a fluent English-speaker. I hope he hasn't booked a trip to Holland thinking he is going to arrive in the Netherlands.

Holland is not a very big place--if his family lives there, I doubt he would conduct much business there.

I wonder how much business he expects in Holland, MI?

But when and why does it happens?

I have stopped panicking when the site goes blank, because I just take it for granted now that RadioRob will find a way to fix it.

What's going on with this new thing that when I hit the Like icon on certain posts, I get a window that asks, "Are you sure you want to Like this?" and a button that says "Confirm"?

Julius's? Awww!

I was having problems posting this morning, and Lucky told me he solved that problem by logging out and logging back in, so I tried that, and it worked for me, too.

Hmm. The last time I got an email from anyone asking me to send them Amazon gift cards instead of money--a couple of months ago--it turned out that someone had hacked her email, got her contact list, and targeted me as someone likely to help her that way. I just don't think of Daddy as someone asking for Amazon gift cards.

The Cabana may not even be necessary if the site goes to a new model of financial support.

That lifeguard should be commended for giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to that drowning victim he just rescued.

I think the Gallery should be its own section, since the number of posts there are so large, and there isn't much discussion within it.

The Cabana was not started until 2016, and anyone who donated within a calendar year got an icon under his/her name, which is why no one has more than six icons. There was no private forum for donating members before then, and I'm not sure it has ever really been necessary..

No violence, please.

Granny wants her kitchen curtains back!

An art class?

Some 19th century manspreading there.

There is a reason why I wear that big wig.

I had to concentrate really hard on examining the whole photo to find the landline.

Although I was happy to retire from a fulltime job at 59, I had spent years developing certain professional skills that I enjoyed practicing, so I turned them into a consulting job rather than let them go to waste, and kept on working till I was 75, when I finally felt tired enough not to want to work at staying mentally acute any longer.

Are people still submitting reviews? Are they being left in a kind of "dead letter office'?

Yes, TJ was the only grocery store I patronized in the early days of the epidemic that actually did count the number of customers and wouldn't let anyone in over the limit. There was always a line waiting outside, socially distanced, until someone left the store and the next person on line could enter. They also didn't even let anyone bring their own TJ bags into the store. Now, except for the mask requirement, they are just like every other store here in Palm Springs.
