Mine, too.

I always shudder when I see Dugger Tater Tot casserole. I slipped on a Tater Tot in the school cafeteria and had two shoulder surgeries. I had fun explaining that to Worker's Comp!

What does Loyola have to say about the post? I don't think she is very good advertising for the quality of their Master's program.

My friend's granddaughter is named Elliot. It seems it is a popular name for both boys and girls now.

I received a letter a few weeks ago addressed to "Resident" that was supposedly from some California organization that is doing a "health survey". I was one of only 2500 people to receive this letter!!! (Sure, Jan) By replying to the letter, or, better yet, replying on line, I would give these people complete access to all of physical, mental, sexual, and any other kind of health info. My name would be kept in a private account, so they "should" be able to keep it confidential. Since they sent this to my home, I'm assuming that it wouldn't be hard to find my name. Yeah, no. The letter went in a shedder immediately. I wonder how many people didn't read the entire letter and gave up all their health info. Read carefully, folks. They are all around us.

Guinea pigs are a major protein food source in Peru. Houses have dedicated "guinea pig rooms" to raise food for their families. Many cultures eat bugs and larvae. I prefer to stick with In 'n Out myself, but food supplies are different in different places. (There was a restaurant in San Louis Obispo, California, that served fried turkey testicles as snack food. Apparently they were very popular!) We don't know where the Vuolos were eating, but, compared to all the other dumb things that show up on social media, sharing his unique eating experience does not seem out of line to me.

I got a call today, and not only is my Social Security account being closed, but I need to show up with my attorney. I hung up and blocked the call before I heard where and when to appear. Remember, Social Security will NEVER contact you by phone. If you do indeed have a problem, you will receive an official letter. I bought a new Panasonic cordless phone last year that has a dedicated "block" button. I know these scams keep changing their phone number, but it is a good feeling to push that magic button!

Remember, Jill grew up in a household where children were allowed to roller skate in the house with a tile floor while carrying glass food dishes. I'm sure she "doesn't get it". These people just have no common sense. 🙁

I wonder if Robyn isn't getting any sleep at night because her daughter is still sleeping with her. Instead of putting the kid in her own bed, she gets her "quality sleep" after the kid gets up in the morning. If so, I have little sympathy. She should have never let this happen in the first place.

I find nothing noteworthy about a hamburger with no bun. I always order with lettuce wrap instead of a bun.

I was never banned, but good old Howard "snipped" my replies sometimes. I never did understand why. I always used nice words. Howard sure made it difficult to post, and to read the posts of others. Sooooo much nicer here (Thank you, Mods).

This truly looks like Kindergarten students playing in the dress-up corner. (shaking head)

I don't get it. Is she saying she wants to take flying lessons?

Would those two young men be wearing an uniform for any reason? That was my first reaction.

It looks like they are sitting in front of the exit row. Since the exit row has more leg room, I doubt that their row does.

Notice that Jinger and Jeremy don't need to sit next to each other. Felicity is sitting safely between them.

My cats recognize the dryer buzzer and head to the bed. Best time of the whole week!

I've used the Rid-x brand for years and have no rodents in my house at all. Also no spiders. They seem to work well for me.

I had a rat in the engine compartment of my car, and I bought peppermint spray that is designed especially for cars--apparently it is a big problem. It worked very well. I recommended it to a lady I know that had a mouse in her house, and she says it solved her problem, too. Apparently rodents don't like peppermint!

The new issue of Consumer Reports has a large write-up on inexpensive mattresses. Amazon Basics scored well. It is a good article. @crazycatlady58, I'm not too sure how you ended up in my quote. Sometimes this site seems to have a mind of its own!

We had a school board member that claimed to live in the district, but in reality he just rented an apartment, and really lived in a house that was not in the district. As I recall, be was replaced because he did not live in district. It will be interesting to see if anyone checks on Jed's residency.

That is the question, really. My address is given out on a "need to know" basis. I cannot imagine why anyone would feel the need to make their address public. The point of having a mailbox is convenience. Theirs sounds like it is very much out of the way. This really makes little sense to me. I wonder what the thinking really is.(but we do everything a little bit differently) It will be interesting to find out.

I've had a personal mail box for several years. It is at a mail store instead of the PO, but I use that address for anything of importance, insurance, credit cards, tax info, etc. My community mailbox had so much mail theft it was dangerous, until we had a security cage put around the boxes. I personally have had 2 credit cards stolen (both accounts were successfully closed with no damage) plus several packages ended up "missing". My mailbox place accepts packages as well as mail, and I feel safer. Almost anything that comes to my home address now is "junk mail". Perhaps Jill has had mail delivery issues, and a PO is a solution for her.

I cannot tolerate wheat. I break out in huge welts and have trouble breathing. I cannot walk down the bread aisle in the grocery store without holding my breath. Recently I was at the deli at a local market and the head deli lady informed me that gluten-free was just a fad. I don't shop at that deli anymore.

I have a sleep number bed and an adjustable base. I also have an antique bed from the 1860's. I removed the wood side rails from the bed so I just had the headboard and footboard. I bought a regular metal bed frame and attached the headboard and footboard. Then I just placed the adjustable frame inside the metal frame (the legs fit inside just fine). So now I have the head board and footboard attached to the metal bed frame and not the mattress. I've used it in this formation for years, and it works perfectly and looks beautiful. FYI, you do NOT have to have the Sleep Number brand adjustable frame. The Sleep Number mattress will work on any brand frame. I've been told that 90% of the adjustable frames, including Sleep Number, are made by the same manufacturer--Leggett and Platt. You can but the adjustable frame at any mattress store that is having a sale, or even on line. Leggett and Platt make several adjustable frames under their own name. Be sure it is a "wall hugger", which means that you are sitting close to the headboard when the head of the bed is up. Otherwise you will be sitting too far from the wall and side table. Almost all of them are the wall hugger type now, I believe. The Sleep Number mattress works well on it's own non-adjustable base, also. Sleep Number is the only brand of mattress I personally would consider. They have a 25 year warranty, and parts are available in case you need a new pump in several years. They do have good financing, and good sales. The other thing I like about them is that they are very loyal to buyers. As well as sale prices for "new customers", they run special pricing and sales for their "owners" (you are referred to as "an owner" once you buy a mattress). No, I do not work for Sleep Number, but I really, really do like my bed!
