You may not remember saying what I quoted and responded to, that happens to me a lot, but the board remembers... And this why I said what I did. There are several providers here. And if all the ones in Bakersfield are busy, State Farm will call another town to find someone. They might have...

Roughin' it in Alaska, eh? (y)

I can't think of a better place to be stuck, so next time, get stuck at the Beach. :ROFLMAO: Our roadside assistance was $8 a month, but it had a 200 miles from home limitation on it. From Eureka, that was just barely enough for most things, but our frequent trips to UC San Francisco and Lucile...

Kohl's is slowly dying. It's not bankrupt yet, but it's restructuring to avoid bankruptcy. Last I heard they had closed nearly 30 underperforming stores.

I'm 100% in agreement with you there, Don. I always say I am not afraid of dying, but I am in no particular hurry. What will happen to my severely disabled son the only thing that has ever terrified me. I've been trying for almost three years to make a backup plan for when my number comes up...

Back in the early 1980s my band played at the Aspen National Bank, a bar in an 1880s bank building in Aspen Colorado on New Years Eve. We had an extremely hard time getting there because of near blizzard conditions. Once we got there and had the gear all set up we had to figure out where to park...

I always used to say "Dumb as a box of rocks." But I like that. You're downright specific about it... Maybe if I put numbers on the rocks and the bigger the rock, the dumber they are. Like telling someone who is very dumb "You're as dumb as a #10 Rock." I'll have to play with one that on the...

I thought it might be something like that if you went to school around the time I did. But 20 years earlier could have made a sizable difference. After I made my last post, I looked up tuition history for Auburn, it's now $6,659 per semester, and $18,011 for non-residents. But while I was...

I bet it's difficult to see all the snow on a white car. We have a white car, but there ain't no snow around here. It bein' on the edge of the Mojave Desert and all. Summer is Coming... 🥵

Well, now I don't feel bad for not saying Happy Birthday, Mr. Cole at the proper date and time.

I believe in God, what I do not believe in is Organized Religion. In my opinion, that is a for profit business. If I want to go to Church, and I do now and then, I go a small, unaffiliated Church that helps the members of the Church when they need it. However, while I believe that Organized...

Dare I ask how much that cost? My grandparents were Professors at Auburn University and I got a tuition waiver. And it still cost me a small fortune for a year.

I didn't do all that much today. I watched a few Game of Thrones episodes, ate some homemade "Spaghilagna" (That a bowl that is half full of Spaghetti and half full of Lasagna. It was better than I thought it would be.) But what I came to talk about is Valentines Day 1985. What is the...

All ID Thieves need is your full name and the last 4 numbers of your social security card. And the more common your name is, the higher the chances of your ID being stolen. The SSA office told us that my sons ID had been stolen by a woman in Oregon, who worked at a school he used to go to over...

Schlitz was my Dad's favorite, with Old Milwaukee a prefered substitute. Or Old Kishwaukee, as we called it, after the little creek that flowed past our little clearing in a massive cornfield we called home.

Asking for Social Security cards for ID. But I guess it isn't illegal, it's just not recommended. However, even though people can ask to see it, in most cases the SSA says you may refuse to show it but in some cases you may be denied services. But you still need to be careful who you give it to...

No, it certainly isn't. (y)

Ouch! (n)

A guy I knew who was a Trumpet player in the Army band told me he didn't think he had served. I told him that was nonsense. Even a lowly Army cook served. His cooking might have been mostly slop, but he served.
