There were some items I couldn't seem to locate on the shelves in Walmart so I did a curbside order. Picked them up and then was planning to pick up my brother's insulin but the pharmacy no longer opens on Sundays. They drastically cut back their hours so it is much harder for people to get...

Here the cops will walk up and say "I smell marijuana" when they clearly do not. They use that to violate 4A rights for illegal search. Most people don't know their rights and won't argue when they say they want to search the vehicle. My brother once responded with "Must be your upper lip" when...

Highup, here they would have ticketed you even if the blinker had come on and was dull. They mostly only pull people over for stuff like that when they have a quota to meet. We always know when its quota time bc we see the cops out waiting to bust people-- if they can't find something...

CJ, glad your dad's injury wasn't too serious. My uncle apparently had a clean break and had to get a rod put in. He's still in pain but is getting meds for it. Said he can't sleep at night because that's when he misses his late wife the most. In the daytime he can visit other residents/friends...

CJ, sorry to hear about your dad breaking his hip. My uncle broke his hip around Christmas as well. Fortunately the medical tech has improved so that it's not a death sentence anymore. Thanks, highup. I listen to a thunder by the sea thing that helps me relax. Helps me get to sleep sometimes...

Between AT&T, Fedex, and Samsclub I am about to tear my hair out. Fedex sucks. I really need some chocolate and a nap so I will post more on my day later.

Still waiting to hear back from AT&T but the person who handled my complaint said she won't be back until Tuesday. Took my brother to DMV to renew his license but he failed the vision test. Took him to the local eye clinic but apparently they shut down. He made some calls to different eye...

Earth-ground? For the box outside you mean? We don't have ground wires on any of our outlets. There is a grounding rod next to the pole but ground wires weren't used to go to any outlet-- which is why I want to find the beginning of the line and put in a GFI and mark it as "no ground". I don't...

I took my antibiotics and napped today. I've been so exhausted. Itsy woke me up in time to bring my friend over to try to fix the phoneline. He got an end on RJ11 firmly on the line so we could try a different jack (an extender kind) but still nothing but buzzing on the line. Went out and...

That looks like some of the trucks I've seen around here. I went to the post office for mail. Samsclub for curbside pickup. Walmart to pick up RX but it wasn't ready. Ended up grabbing a few items Mom requested, popped in to TSC for cow feed, went home and napped. Woke up and went back for RX...

I tossed and turned all night. Woke up drenched in sweat. Mom thwarted any attempts to get good sleep. She woke me up because she had low blood sugar. Fair enough. I got her some food. Then she woke me up because she couldn't find the remote. I told her I was going to take a shower and...

Got sick from something I ate and was throwing up most of the night. Stomach hurt all the way through to my back. I was shivering and felt miserable. Woke up drenched in sweat. Was exhausted most of the day but had to cook for Mom and go to Walmart for groceries in the afternoon. Also picked up...

Happy Birthday, Daris! I try not to get into arguments about politics with people. I was talking politics with my mother in an IHOP one day-- not very loudly, mind you. And some lady walked up to our table as her family was leaving and started yelling at us, calling us names, etc & generally...

Inspect1, I'm sorry you had a stroke but glad you are recovering and that your daughter is helping. I'm back to taking Mucinex to try to get rid of the mucus. It was the consistency of natto strings earlier and was stuck in the back of my throat and I was pulling it out with both hands and...

Power went out last night. Had to shut down my computer and call the power company's automated system. Landline is still down so I had to hold my phone near the window behind my headboard. I went to shut down my brother's computer so it wouldn't get messed up but it was already off. Had to let...

I miss Sbarro's. Back in the 80s they had the best crust but their sauce kinda sucked. When I came back from overseas in the 2000s the sauce was good but the crust sucked. Not really a big pizza person anyway. My brother worked at the local Pizza Hut. The quality of the pizza depended on who was...

I'm in the same boat as Havasu. I must be "on the spectrum" too. :P In all seriousness, I do know people with Aspergers. It's considered a milder form. Makes for social awkwardness to inability to deal with people depending on the severity. I also had a friend (lost contact) who had more severe...

The glass eye thing never bothered me. Even though I knew about it I didn't think about it while watching him. And I still recommend Murder By Death. It also has Peter Sellers, Maggie Smith, Alec Guinness, and Truman Capote. Fixed my towel rod (or did I mention that already?) Didn't even need...

Had to go to the grocery store to get milk. This was my road after the water had come down from the flooding.

Havasu, we had a friend (who has since passed) who could never get the name right and always called him "Flippy". But he was named after a gnoll in the game EverQuest who would always charge at the gates of the city of Qeynos and get killed either by players or by npc guards. Fippy Darkpaw...
