So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

Um, back in the old days of Grandma Mildred, linen/cotton bedclothes had wooden knobs or is that another marketing joke?

Very unsual to handle, but I'm looking forward, if this 50/50 linen/cotton bedcloth will serve me well, I tell you!

 

[Trenchfriend]

Got anyone of you an idea how to "rescue" acid-rotten battery contacts in an electric device?

 

[LizzieMaine]

A wire brush and a paste made of baking soda? That might get some of the crud off, but depending on the size of the contacts, you might be better off just replacing them.

All-Inclusive holiday? Nah.

Have the flashing indicators on vehicles that are supposed to warn other drivers of the intended direction the vehicle is taking, be that left, right or overtaking, have they now become an optional extra? It seems as though it's all become a game off: Guess which way I'm going?

 

[Tiki Tom]

^^^ This is one of my pet peeves. Especially if their lack of signaling prevents me from making a turn specifically because I have know idea where they are going until they actually turn the wheel. Harrumph. Angry face.

Driving from southern California to Las Vegas over the last couple of days (approximately 260 miles one way) gave me opportunities to put my observation skills to the test, and my companion(s) were mildly impressed by the way I was able to guesstimate what stupid things certain drivers were going to do and how I was able to avoid them.

They have put out Halloween stuff in the supermarket.

They have put out Halloween stuff in the supermarket.

And the thrift stores. Go there and save any old hats that should not be lowered to the level of a kid's (or adult's) costume.

At this end it’s already Christmas, saw the first ginger snaps and dominoes on display yesterday.

What do folks expect to get for 500,- bucks a week All In, including flight, transfer, room…?

Pay the shits, get the shits.

In my experience, this is almost always seen on one of those over-priced, "aspirational" big saloons or Chelsea tractors, you know the type - the same basic model which looks identical bar the Merc / BMW / Audi / w.h.y. branding on it. To be frank, if I'd paid out *that* for a car and got one of those badge-engineered bland mobiles, I'd probably have assumed I'd bought the road as well too.

Sunday too boring, my loungers? Could help:

By the way:
0:50 >>> WHERE can I find this woman??

Ahh, Victoria Principal, every teenboys dream in early '80s!

 

[Zombie_61]

Ahh, Victoria Principal, every teenboys dream in early '80s!

And she's now 72 years old. Maybe not quite who today's "teenboys" are dreaming about, but...

^^^^^
I’d join her for a cup of coffee.

EDIT: But then, I just saw a couple photos of her taken recently. She’s obviously had “work” done. I find women more alluring when they don’t mind looking their age.

 

[Turnip]

That’s why I love Dolly Parton.

And Barbara Eden?

The point of cosmetic surgery is to improve the patient’s appearance. In the eyes of the above-mentioned I’m left to assume it does.

But through my eyes?

 

[Turnip]

Your eyes don’t matter, as well as anyone else’s but the patient‘s, imho.

There's nothing more stupid than AI, especially Autocorrect that's always trying to second guess you.
