    :eek: My local grocery has fresh sweet corn for 25¢ for the first 6 then 3/$1.00 after that.

    Ugh. They never clung on to sneakers tight enough as I was skating and I'd always end up on the pavement with one of the bloody things clinging awkwardly to my ankle, while I'm picking debris out of my knees and hands. Then if I forgot to undo the other skate, forget about trying to stand up to...

    I prefer self checkout. Even when there's 12 'regular' checkouts, there's never more than half staffed even on the busiest Saturday morning. Those that are staffed, there always needs to be a price check or someone who needs to chat with the cashier or the 3 people in front of you have...

    Reminds me of my brother and me. He's get a B or two and the parents would praise him. I'd bring home a single B on my report card and get the stink eye and asked to explain how I'd fix it next quarter. OTOH, my brother, while not book smart, is one of the most intuitively intelligent and...

    Emergency, like where you'd need an ambulance? 🤔 Big cities have them. 👍 They also have plenty of taxis and ride shares (uber/lyft/etc) for when, say your wife went into labor but you were across town and needed to meet her at the birthing center. 🤷‍♂️ But honestly, speaking only from personal...

    When I first moved to the state I live in in 1996 and bought my home here, people would remark at how old my house was (built in 1963). This always struck me as odd. The newer part of the house I grew up in was added in 1813. Definitely a matter of perspective.

    Sometime the answer is a simple, " why not." 😜 C'mon cutting off heads - while riding a bicycle, who wouldn't want to know that skill? 🤣🤣

    They're a place in Oklahoma where they grow like the tulip fields of the Dutch. Spectacular to visit when the fields are in bloom. https://www.cannas.net/

    Yes, grape hyacinth a.k.a. muscari. I planted a couple dozen under a silver maple 10 or 15 years ago. We lost the tree in an ice storm a few years back but the front lawn is a sea of blue each spring with crests of white clover dotting throughout. The daffs, narcissi, hyacinths, tulips and small...

    If I ever move to someplace where they'll grow without fuss, I'm gonna plant the entire road facing property line with lilacs. Nothing smells like spring so much as driving along a country road with the windows down while these bushes are in bloom! I miss bringing in huge bouquets to smell up...
