I’m not sure why companies think we want to have to learn how to use every single thing we buy. Even on the microwave, if a feature isn’t written on the buttons I probably don’t use it.

Just don't drink gallons of Chinese green tea, or you'll start seeing little old women following you everywhere.

This site has mostly been ok and running itself for a long while, so it probably goes to the end of his checklist. He probably just has too many projects to handle. Last time, multiple people tried different ways of contacting him, I think I emailed Godaddy.

I think that first could be a pumpkin. Looking at those leaves, at least one pumpkin picture I saw resembled that. It should become obvious any day now. Vegetables that grow themselves are great, I have a green thumb when it comes to poison ivy and morning glories (which give me a rash the same as poison ivy). And my rose of sharon grows wonderfully, usually feeding a swarm of Japanese beetles each year.

Things sound good, once the power's back on. And the water heater fixed. (Do plumbers actually fix them? In my life they've only been replaced.) I like hearing about Jose.

We're missing some rain here. The last 3 times the weather said it would rain a lot, it didn't. Did you take it?? I'm very suspicious.

Most sharks probably have Atlantis citizenship. Probably no vaccinations either.

Best results when you cook it in the dark, as johhnn apparently does.

Can I bake it, with raw squash, or do you make a stir-fry?

I knew a woman who lived in the Dominican Republic for years, she loved it and had interesting details to tell. For instance, when their husbands or lovers did wrong, women would typically stand out on their roofs or balconies at night and wail loudly to all. I had the impression the DR had things in common with Brazil, like the idea of indulging in joy of life, etc.

A lot of us democrats are more communist than we used to be. Trump can make anyone a reactionary.

That's excellent handling of the pharmacist. It's true, they should feel quite comfortable sending a regular customer away with his meds.

It's too bad you don't have scrappers nearby who come running for the metal. All we have to do is put it outside, sometimes to put a curb alert in Craigslist. It's wonderful getting rid of a heap of stuff.

I guess a lot of people are checking to make sure you make these daily posts. It looks like the hurricane turned, thank goodness.

It seems as if a lot of us are in a downturn, all for different reasons. So sorry to hear about Ted’s brothers. Ted’s weird diet may not be all that horrible, at least he’s getting some protein and calories. (But yuck!) My sister’s husband is suffering from depression once again, my yard guy had a work accident, and I am weak and my brain is mush. I started trying to memorize countries of the world to test my memory, it was so bad. I know just about all of Africa, so the brain actually does work, it seems. I think we need to go shopping or on a short, easy daytrip that takes no planning -- and then a nap on some very squishy soft pillows.
