“”Nowadays, I hear, why don’t I have a wde screen TV, why don’t we have a service such as Netflix, why don’t I have satellite radio in the car, why do I still write checks to pay bills””
With the exception of the last one, I haven’t been bombarded with those. If shopping with my daughter she’ll tell me at the checkout, “Mother, stores aren’t taking checking anymore” to which she is witness to my check being taken and processed. Can’t convince her that the grocery stores and Walgreens don’t have any problem with them either. Whole Foods doesn’t and the only time I was there and told they wouldn’t take my check, I never went back.
I pay utility and some other bills online and the rest get checks.
Happy St. Pat's to you too.
I had to laugh when I saw that St. Pat's Day snuck up on you also. Did not realize it until Thurs. I also heard that Easter this year is on April Fools Day.....LOL
Our son in law brought our grandson over awhile ago and said, “Seems like I remember getting a meal here on other St. Patrick’s Day.” HA HA!!! Well, sorry - just plain forgot!
OH, OH.....LOL
Those AirPods have become part of my oldest son’s body. One day. I haven’t even gotten the stylus for my iPad yet.
I do love audiobooks. I drive a lot and if no one is good on the radio I will listen to something. We also listen to kids’ books in the morning on the way to school. Did all the Beezus and Ramona stories and now are doing Mr Popper’s Penguins.
last one I bought is ‘The Great Divorce’ by CS Lewis.. got it from audible, the amazon audiobook division
We use audible too. I don’t know how you get “points” but the last two books I bought were free from my points.
They are so good, I’m listening to songs from my youth, and am only now hearing all the parts. It’s amazing what I missed in the day. They have good bass, and they are clear as a bell.
