Absolutely! I relish those moments where I lose track of time. We used to walk down to the neighborhood bar when we lived in the city and it was like an extension of our living room. The hours would just

Thank you Luis! I appreciate it and I hope you're enjoying your weekend!

Thank you! I'm thrilled when the intended message of a poem is received. Poetry can be such a subjective thing sometimes people interpret them altogether different from what was running through my mind

Books are very difficult for me to let go of. I've sold a lot of things on eBay and Facebook Marketplace over the years. eBay has been more lucrative but FB Marketplace is great for getting rid of things

Fascinating! We have a bird native to MN called the redwing blackbird that's similar.

I agree!

What a fun role to play! You're right in saying it's a way to keep the child in us alive. I think having a good sense of humor is our natural state. Most children are born this way but adulthood has a

There are a lot of people reporting how much Nattokinase has helped with long Covid. We actually learned about it from one of my wife's doctors. Too bad she can't take it because it's helped my heart murmur

Oh wow, that could have been a catastrophic failure. The dealership must've skipped their inspection before putting it up for sale. Yes! It was pretty intense to have so many lights lit up on the dashboard

I'm bummed that I somehow missed this one. I was just thinking the other day It's been a long while since I've seen a Boom-blog!.

Oh no, not the new car! What was the problem? They don't make them like they used to. Our 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid with 3k miles on it has been in the shop now for over a week with no solution in sight.

Congratulations on eight years of remission! That had to be super frightening. I got the FB payment too a few weeks ago. I flipped it right into BTC. : ) We were on the higher end of the payout, some people

The mind is such a tricky thing to tame—sometimes it has a mind of its own. Even if we feel we're at perfect peace we have thoughts running in our subconscious. You may have noticed as a writer, concepts

Very cool! I remember those arcades. That was probably the precursor to modern shopping malls. I believe there's one in London that was built in the early 1800's.

It was so much a part of our world back then.

I wish there was some way I could see it on video. Maybe my brother will be able to film it somehow. : ) I remember you writing about your uncle! It sounds like he was a wonderful soul. So many of my older

I remember that gag! I used to have one in the early 90's. That was a very simple one that scared the crap out of people. It was so startling the way it vibrated and made so much noise! Ingenious really.

I bet that was interesting for you living in a house surrounded by pranksters! We used to prank my mom something terrible when we were younger. She'd leave my brother and I in the car to run into stores

I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's good to hear someone your age is still living their lives with some comedic relief. As we were growing up there was still so much of the old slap stick humor on television—Three

It was always fun to go into those stores. Sometimes the pop-up halloween shops will carry some of the prank/gag items but usually it's not much.
