Belated thanks for the b-day wishes.

I'll try to do better, I promise.

Nice!!

My mom had a ton of those as she got older. Yep, drove her nuts.

I've been watching each stage on the TIZ cycling website each night at work. I've really enjoyed Sean Kelly. With his vast racing experience, he's bringing a wealth of information to each stage.

I like it!!

1940's Big Band music rates pretty near the top as well.....at least for me. :)

Ben Franklin was a wise man. Slow_Guy_On_Bike? Yeah, not so much. ?

Never cared for showers as a kid, but now that I'm adult, I love taking showers. The longer and hotter, the better. I love hot showers even in the hot summer months.

Amen!!

Did somebody say mellow?

I ate four hot dogs in about 20 minutes on the 4th. That should hold me until the Labor Day cookout. LOL!!

I have got to get me one of these!!

Misbehaving children will be spanked (something I was intimately familiar with as a child). ??

"Work is the eight hours that separate bike rides."

I don't know why Tonto stuck with the Lone Ranger. It was always "Tonto, go in to town for supplies" or "Tonto, stay here and watch the prisoner" (which always seemed to escape) and in doing so, seemed to always get the snot beat out of him. If I was Tonto, I would have "unmasked" the Lone Ranger AND told him to go to hell. LOL!!

Yeah, it does suck.

When I lived in northern Main for a couple of years, the major crops were potatoes and blueberries (a lot of the local towns had festivals for both). Now that I'm a Hoosier, my state's major crop is corn. I think some parts of Indiana also have success with strawberries.

I was scrawny and a total geek / nerd in middle school and into high school. I was picked on mercilessly until around the 11th grade when I had a growth spurt and put on some weight. A senior tried picking on me one day and I had finally had enough. I broke his nose and knocked out a couple of his teeth. I thought I would feel better when finally standing up for myself, but I didn't. I felt like a complete @sshole afterwards. We both got a week's suspension. But, no one picked on me after that. Perhaps they thought I had become the bully (although I never ever tried to bully anyone).

I sort of did something like that, but was home for two days and away for five. On my first marriage, it was a long distance relationship, and when we got married, I moved to her (small) town. Jobs were hard to come by, so I talked to my old boss in my old hometown and he said my position was still open and if I wanted to, I could work there five straight days. I took him up on his offer and while working there, I'd stay with my brother. At the end of the 5th day, I'd drive the four hours back to the wife and our newborn son. That lasted for about four months and then I finally found a job in my new hometown. After our divorce, I moved up the road about an hour, to a bigger city, so I'd still be somewhat close to my son but somewhere where the job prospects were a lot better.

I liked the look on the one lady's face..."five? uuhhh..." LOL!!

If communities / states really want to get a handle on the disposable plastic problem, why not ban all those millions ('and millions!!' said in my best The Rock voice LOL) of plastic water bottles, hmmmmm?

I inherited my mom's house after she passed away. The oldest working appliance in it is a Kenmore gas dryer bought in 1974. Now granted, I have to use a propped up piece of 2x4 to keep the door closed when it's running, but otherwise it's still going strong.

Thank you SW!! ?‍♂️
