I am a skeptic. No yelling. The first drivers licenses were issued in 2 states, MA & MS in 1903 and no test was required. Many states didn't require drivers licenses and many didn't have a driver's test even if a license was required. So your grandfather could have gotten the licenses for your...

Badatmath, you don't have to do 3 sets of 10, do 3 sets of 5 and work your way up. I use to go to the gym and had a trainer before my husband passed. Yearly dues were $420 and sessions with the trainer I can't remember the price. A neighbor told his buddies that my husband had passed and some...

Thank you for all the work. Change is good, keeps you on your toes.

I've never had Velcro wear out. I use Velcro straps for the handle on my walk behind mower and they've been on there for years. I attach and remove the Velcro straps every time I start and stop the mower. They do sell rolls, straps and small squares of Velcro that you could use to fix your...

mn54, it depends on what kind of doctor. I wouldn't think a heart specialist or oncologist would want to see you if you have covid.

Uh oh, is this my brother in law? He has an appointment on Thursday that took months to get. Sorry, feel better.

Neither my grandparents or my parents drink, I'll have to ask them if they drank when they were younger. I don't remember them drinking and there has never been alcohol at any of the family parties. I can remember one uncle bringing a 6 pack to a picnic. My husband and I drank when we were...

Geez, got my fingers crossed it's not covid or anything serious. Hope you feel better.

Still working and accumulating and I check my accounts a couple times a day. I am use to the ups and downs and do not sell stocks when the markets are going crazy. I'm in my early 50's and don't trade as much any more. Playinwith fire is right, don't look as often if it is stressing you out. I'm...

Is there a longer life that all the animals eating today's brands achieve versus what they use to eat years ago? Or is it all marketing to buy the higher priced food? My grandparents and parents feed their/our dogs and cats (cats supplemented their diet with barn kills) dry kibble (Purina 50 lbs...

grasshopper, I appreciate your reply.

Some great looking cats, dogs and kids. The Maine cats are cool looking. I've never seen that breed in person. Love all the dogs and wish I could have one. People tried to talk me into getting a dog when my husband passed but since I'm still working I didn't think it would be fair to the dog...

I get new bills once in a while and I mix them with my older bills in my wallet so no 2 new bills are next to each other. Doesn't happen often.

I tried looking online but don't see anything about the town that was encircled by fire and the people were told to shelter in place. Any news if they are okay? Are any of the fires 100% contained.

I'm hoping that none of the forum members are in the area of this fire. They are saying on my local news that a town is encircled and they are telling people to shelter in place. I can't imagine being told to shelter in place. Please keep safe.
