On our landline maybe 5 or 6 calls a day. They always use bogus numbers and IDs. One time it was my own number. I usually pick up...listen and if dead air quickly hang up. I have on occasion hung on and the person on the other end sounds Indian. Selling Medicare plans, and Spectrum is bad. I...

I have ordered several vehicles. Spent time figuring the options I wanted and running the numbers. Knowing what the vehicle will cost/MSRP and then going to the dealers (or emailing them) to haggle a price. Everyone knows the numbers posted online is probably not the real numbers, too. If you...

Yep...Me too. But I do like my 25 hour watch.

I usually have a tire going flat about once or twice about every year. Usually a screw or nail in a tire. All my cars and trailers have spares and I would never drive without a spare. South Carolina has a lot of construction and stuff falling onto the roads where I live. I plug my own tires and...

Medicare A & B as well as BCBS Federal.

Over the centuries locks of hair were saved and put into lockets and other mementos. That's OK with me. But tattooed skin put into a picture frame or whatever is a bit morbid. But people do save ashes, too. I have come across ashes with flowers on the trail at one of the National Parks more than...

If you can find the make and model of the keyboard you like...do a search on Ebay! That's what I do on my liked but not made anymore stuff.

I believe a requirement towards having another spouse is the question of the other's finances and the question of family beneficiaries. Love over money?

HaHa!

We have been married 38 years now. She is the love of my life. I cannot see ever being remarried to someone else. That's the way I feel right now. But in the future how do we know how it will feel when we do lose our sole partner? She has told me in the past to get on with life if she was to go...

One of my old work buddies (we have been retired for some time now) fairly recently lost his wife. This was his second spouse. An observation...My friend's original wife of about 35 years passed away of cancer around 8 years ago. She was the love of his life and they had 3 kids together (now...

Winter...around 5pm. Summer...around 6:30pm. It is based on the sun and that durned time change thing. Don't get me going on the time change...

We still have a land-line. And get maybe 6 spam/robo calls but it varies each day. Sometimes I unplug the connection. We both have smart phones but my wife won't use hers and it is always off. So...if I am out I need to call on the landline number for her to answer. That's our status.

On your smart phone calc app...if you turn the phone sideways you will get even more mathematics to work with. Try it. On the calculators...that ain't nuthin. When I started out we used the handy slide rule.

I got mine, too. I am glad it was not the real thing because all you would see is the shadow of my carbon footprint etched on the cement driveway...
