And overpriced. I have several pairs of "Orthofeet" shoes & sandals that are less than half the price & better quality. They are made in China, Vietnam & Mexico. That doesn't matter to me. I'm often surprised that people are willing to pay double price for inferior quality just to buy...

Ever heard of the hypochondriac who only wanted one word on his tombstone: "See?" 😄

I just saw this for the first time:

Re: Snakes, people often fear what they don't understand. And that lack of knowledge often leads some people to believe whatever myths they hear from others. When I moved this harmless Western Gopher Snake to another area of the park to keep him from climbing into the children's playground, a...

All spiders are venomous except one - the Orb Weaver. Without venom, (much like a venomous snake) a spider couldn't eat. The Orb Weaver uses a different method. They wrap their prey in silk, cover it in regurgitated digestive enzymes, and then ingest the liquified body. Very few spiders (1%)...

Yes, mine, too. but I don't think they can design any feature that cures rudeness. :) When that happens, I just fall back to maintain following distance. I always drive as if I have all the time in the world. I've seen the result of speeding much too often.

I don't use Cruise Control either. In the past, I only used it on long drives on open freeways. Today, there is usually too much traffic & I don't go on long trips. But there is one newer feature on Cruise Control I think is good. It automatically maintains a safe following distance.

Yes - men are becoming something else: 🤣

That's why I chose a simple washer & dryer without computers or flashing lights - "Speed Queen." With a rare 25-yr warranty.

Interesting take on foreign accents. I never thought of it that way. I do sometimes find it amusing that they will often have someone with a heavy British accent advertising products on TV shopping shows.

Agreed, but when I bought my 2021 Honda Accord Hybrid new, I first made fun of some of the safety features because I thought they were useless & just drove the price of the car up. But after becoming familiar with their use, I am grateful for them. They are especially useful for us older...

Yes, walking around does help back pain. What kind of bed do you have? In my 50's (23 yrs ago) I was only able to sleep a couple of hours, then I'd have to get up & walk around every two hours to relieve low back pain. At 5 am, I saw a TV ad for a Tempur Pedic bed. Since it had a 3-month free...

I found these at Walmart. I keep these next to my bed in case of low blood sugar. They have 6 gms sugar each (about 1.5 teaspoons). They're addicting & so good, I sometimes hope for a low. :)

If I had an honest trustworthy mechanic, I would keep a car much longer than I do. But I know better than to trust a mechanic - especially after having one in my family & seeing how many people he ripped off.

When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.

I'm a big oldies fan. I just heard this one. Billy J. Cramer & The Dakotas recorded it but I didn't know it was written by Lennon/McCartney:

Interesting that Hummingbirds are the only bird that can fly backwards. Their rotator cuff and shoulder joint design allows them to rotate their wings in a figure-eight motion, letting them generate lift and thrust on both the upstroke and downstroke. This allows them to maneuver in and out of...

The neighbors were green with envy.
