small example: My mom needs a new broom. How hard can that be???
It has to have white bristles. They have to split on the bottom. It "polishes" the floor.

My kitchen broom has those bristles. It is black. No good.

How long we have been looking for said white/split bristle broom....3 years.

doesn't that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere? mabe it would have been better to sequester her carbon in a living tree.

Congrats if it is!

Gotta admit, I never worried about an octopus climbing the empire state building. Then again, that was almost a mile from where I worked, so who cares!
Just stay off of my building.

LOL I used to work the next block over at a PR Firm... I think I would have been glad to have a giant octopus be the reason I didn't have to go to that dreadful job any day of the week.

Except I got rear ended stoping for the light when it just turned red, when I was a new driver.

Hope your car luck changes soon.
I haven't been caught yet.

we have lots of cameras here, well in the state.

When I got my license I was threatened with my life if I ever got in a wreck, but my mom also said if I got a speeding ticket on a certain road, she'd pay it if I was only 3 mph over. She thought it was nuts that the road was only 55, now if you can do 45 down it you are lucky, there's been so much development. Used to be all farms.

I'm old enough that 63 really isn't old anymore.

Damn straight it isn't.

Since odds are great you will outlive us, it doesn't matter.

I don't know, I live such a risky lifestyle...

Actually, I think cannibalism is the greenest way to go.

Is now a bad time for corpse jokes?

dontwantaname wrote:They usually don't bother pulling you over if you aren't 10 mph over.

Maybe less in a side street. Big roads and highways tend to be higher.

5 over here although I've been pulled over while going under and been told I was doing 15 over! Which my truck wasn't capable of doing on the drag strip. I went took it to court and somehow my summons arrived a week after the date...... Reason #x not to complain about your mail carrier mutilating your magazines instead of using the magazine rack, check!

Yep, deciphered that.

Happy dancin'! I'm not the oldest one here anymore. That's great.

Aw, thanks, but I honestly do not think of myself as that age. I notice we both joined Woot in December 2004. I had read about it in the NYTimes in a technical column and decided to give it a try. And here I am still!

cannibals poop, which rots and the carbon eventually oxidizes and makes its way back into the atmosphere. trees just keep getting bigger and bigger, sequestering carbon from the atmosphere.

Yuck - the Donner people

I still haven't reconciled myself to 60 and I'm way past it.

I retired at 55 to travel with my husband and see more of the world and relax - not to be. Took care of Mother, Father, and husband through their illnesses. Now that I am able once again to do and go and enjoy, etc., I seem to be a traffic magnet. MAKE IT GO AWAY

Still far less than a cow would produce.

From that, I assume that you did computer stuff before you retired?

I think my grandma is 80. She is also bored, and somewhat ornery. We lover her very much, even though she is crazy. If you go near Tampa you should visit her. Actually, I haven't called her lately, I should, although I did talk to her yesterday or Saturday I think.

You haven't talked to her "lately," but you talked to her yesterday or Saturday. Be careful, Fen, you're starting to sound like D'name.

I don't know how you old folks stay up this late. I would have been asleep 3 hours ago most days. As it is I am about to fall asleep in front of the computer.

I haven't called her lately. It doesn't count if she calls and talks to me.

You have to be tough to be old.

Although, it may have been earlier in the week, but I remember we had gotten an Easter card from her, so it shouldn't have been that long ago. I don't know.

FenStar wrote:I haven't called her lately. It doesn't count if she calls and talks to me.

Good for you. I delight in the grandchildren that want to talk to me. You can probably learn a lot from her if you keep an open mind and don't just think of her as old.

Night all. Tomorrow.

pooflady wrote:You have to be tough to be old.

I guess. I plan on being a cyborg when I get old, or just dying early, some days earlier than others... Like when it is 10,000,000 K outside :/

Oh, you HAVE to keep an open mind with her. She says WHATEVER pops into her head, no matter what it is. She is 10x worse than I am.

nite, I'm going to bed too. I'll wake up sometime around 3PM

Good morning all.
Last night was great, I got to watch the Blue Jays beat the Rangers and no late night storms.

Mornin', folks.
