I'm so glad you are back! I hear you about the "rehab" places. Some are okay, and others are horrible. Of course it's a matter of money - but also the priorities of our society. That we allow them to continue to operate that way says something awful about our culture.
That's very cool! My parents had some of those Chevy's when I was young and I remember the back seats were enormous! My first car was a gold '64 Chevy Impala. I loved it then but wouldn't want it now - it was a V-8. My mid-life crisis car was a Chevy SS truck. Since I had three dogs, I settled for a Saturn wagon which is still kicking after 11 years.
That's great news about her legs!
It's good to hear about your mom - and interesting to see her through your eyes. Kudos to you for taking her to your home. I hope you keep blogging - welcome to mybloggers!
Humph meant that it seems as though you are trying sound more curmudgeonly than you really are. BTW - I didn't see any proposed laws about corporate lawyers.
Try taking the watch to another place for a battery. I had the same experience at Penney's one time. I took it someplace else for a battery and it worked for a year or so until it needed another battery. Sometimes batteries go bad sitting on the shelf.
Is the photo from the movie? Kind of creepy...
Humph!
Many years ago, I had a dog that ate some pot that had been left out after a party. Poor guy, just didn't know what hit him! Hope Fritz is okay now.
My dog "Bob" used to take bites out of toilet paper rolls. All you can do is laugh.
Why don't they just get married by a JP, Mayor or some such? Sounds like a frivolous lawsuit even though I don't disagree with the sentiment.
Seems like the only thing you didn't do was work at a place where you had to ask customers: "Would you like fries with that?" My B.S. was about as useful as yours. Then I went to grad school and became overqualified and underpaid. Probably should have gone to law school instead.
Years ago, I opened the trapdoor on the bottom of my toaster, shook it and out popped a "toasted" mouse. Made me sick to wonder how many pieces of toast had gone through that machine while the crispy critter was inside. I've seen palmetto bugs - about 6 inches long - in a bathroom at a restaurant. We left without eating...
I often take my iPod to places where I expect to encounter screaming children and boors yelling into their cell phones. Earplugs work well when I just want to reduce noise by a few decibels, i.e., when watching TV with my mother who says she has a hearing loss...
RE Teal's felony: I've always wanted to rip the tags off a mattress. I could compound the offense and toss it along the highway for some inmate to pick up.
