    Old sayings, which make no sense?

    More of a definition, really. Something I fail to understand is, as a definition for "altogether" how does one get to "the state of having no clothes on"?

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    You do have a point. Might keep the mailman out of the flower beds too.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Update: By dinner time the nest was devoid of Finch eggs and only the Blue Jay egg remained. The birds were nowhere around. I took the wreath with the nest and egg down and threw it away. We simply can't have a Blue Jay defending a nest just outside our front door, and it's barely above eye...

    WE HATE BLUE JAYS!!! They can be such jerks. A while back we went to take down the Christmas wreath outside our front door but found that a bird had started a nest in it. We didn't have the heart to deny them their hard work building it so we put it back on the wall and watched. Turns out it...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    But where's the fun in that? Duct tape comes in so many colors!

    Thank you. Think nothing of it. It happens to all of us. - All the best.

    Hence the fact that I deleted it. I realized that it was unnecessarily snarky. Thank you, I will have a nice day.

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    Good luck and godspeed! I had a '90 Civic that I took to over 300k, but once the electrical issues started the writing was on the wall. My wife actually cried when they towed it away.

    Because they are not always equal. You comment is kind of proving my point.

    It's kinda sad that nice things are so often judged not on their quality but on their cost.

    Our problem is not having anything to put down for drips when painting a project or having something to crumple up for padding in a box. Once upon a time we kept a stack of news papers waiting to be recycled just for such purposes. Now the closest we come is the weekly grocery store flyer.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Somehow you sound like Catherine Hepburn when you talk like that.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    My grandmother called them "gun-boots". The ones I wore were (courtesy of my brother who was in the navy at the time) were boondockers. I loved them. So much more practical than army boots (I wore those too). I would polish them up and wear them with a tux when I performed in college. Nobody...

    Wow that's a lot more movement than I seen in such things. There are YouTube videos of similar treatments of historical figures. It's REALLY creepy seeing Lincoln blink, smile and move his head!

    We wore dungarees growing up, not jeans.

    Tornado (a bit of Cleveland, Ohio history)

    We just moved out of Lakewood (Nicholson/Clifton area about 2 blocks from the lake) and bought a house in Lyndhurst. Pretty tightly packed community back there, can't say that in the 15+ years in Lakewood we ever saw a truly devastating storm beyond a lot of trees down. (we always jockeyed our...

    And I was told ALL of them. It's a wonder I survived into adulthood!

    How about "that doesn't cut the mustard"? and of course every grade school kid knows about "who cut the cheese?"

    I think I just came up with a topic for my next project. I'm sure I can get a book out of it! - the history of the laugh.
