I don’t think there’s anything wrong with holding back on funds to commemorate a day, one of thousands of commemorative days. Sure still a worldwide...

I suspect the lure of the internet has corroded the will and civility we had once. Even DH is now addicted to YouTube and watches it several hours a...

If they work! Had a woman back into me because she relied solely on the camera. Sheesh!

I’m with you! Less stuff on it means less can go wrong. Absolutely hate the new washing machine! Once the lid is shut, no adding or stopping it.

backup cameras are magic!

I would definitely keep that car; it should run to 250000 miles. But I can see why your husband would want a newer bells and whistles car. I...

We have a 14yo Honda CR-V with 85000 miles. It will soon require quite a bit of maintenance and new tires, ie expenses. DH is jonesing for a newer...

I have no issues keeping track of my stuff. And passkeys instead of passwords are great. You can use device passcode instead of biometrics if...

ok, chocolate I can see. I usually spend $35 to $55 every time I go down to our local handmade chocolate shop so yeah, I can see that.

The woman who hosted my Thanksgiving meal just traded in her 20+ year old car with roll-up windows and regretted letting it go. I just traded in my...

It is a high-end chocolate store, and it really isn't that difficult.

I will join in on the angst of too much technology that changes so fast I am behind and lost before I have even tried to master it. I ordered a...

I'm currently raging about key fobs. The one for our 2013 van (with 225K miles, so I admit it's had a long life already) has been getting more and...

Well, I have to say way back around the year 2000 when we bought our neighbor’s used Ford Taurus, it was the most luxurious car I have ever had and...

DH and I are rising to the challenge of being able to accept Venmo payments at the fair tomorrow. Last year, we were one of the only vendors that...

Bobby: I cannot see your photo attachment. I think El Caminos are pretty cool, but more so if they are operational.

I did a drop off at the local recycle center and they had four large bins full of big monitors, probably from some sort of corporate review and...

if one more thing comes into my house that I have to figure out from a manual to operate, I’m done. Done with life! Ha ha. I’ve already decided...

I have always said, as my kids remind me often, that I would NEVER date a man who drove a Corvette because I really don't like "penis cars."

Good for you! All the penis cars looks alike to me. Now when you get to little British cars of the 60s and 70s, I’m your man for marque...

I feel irresponsibly nostalgic about El Caminos. Back in the early 70's I was home on leave and my best friend had a black 1970 SS 396 version. We...

My brillliant builder/entrepreneur uncle always had El Caminos. He always went for the practical things. I can still picture them in my head.

I look at rugs from Rugsource too!

It definitely takes us a little longer to get going on some things than others!

One of my high school pal's uncle had one with some sort of huge hemi V-8. Don't know if that was stock, but it sort reached a sweet spot around 90...

Ships from the US is what you want. No tariff hassle since it’s already here.

Thanks. I checked it out and it's similar to the places I was browsing on Etsy, but ships from the US. I'll browse more seriously later, but looks...
