I remember what a win it was for me to own my first Sony.

I wish this could be my lunch tomorrow.

Some people think an electric outlet is a fountain of electricity that is eternal and everlasting.

When people used to say, " I wouldn't give one thin dime for that", I think this is what they were talking about. Silver is a much softer metal and coins wore away.

Without even reading the article I'm gonna boldly guess they weren't middle class white kids.

And acting like it. What teenager doesn't lose shit.

Maybe because of his lack of inflation any more.

Something I have done instead of mounting the tv mount into cement was to build a frame the width needed for the mount out of 2 by 4's that went from the floor to the ceiling. I fastened the 2 by 4's to the floor joints above and the bottom just rested on the basement floor. You can box it in and it will cover up all the wires.

2 other words that I used to frequently see were stoa and adit. It's been a while since I've encountered them.

I used to try too hard to have that "special" Christmas but was always disappointed and it did not live up to my expectations. The people I wanted to share in my special Christmas had their own agendas and the commercialism became intolerant.

Nowadays I have no expectations and the family made the wise decision long ago to stop with the gift giving except for the kids so no pressures either. A much, much better holiday now.

I find it disturbing to see how much food is thrown away as any dumpster diver could attest to. How to distribute it safely is an economic and logistic problem that is tough to solve.
