You don’t use your own stamps. You only do it if they are paying the postage.

I am uncertain whether it is a good idea or a bad one to leave your identification on the paperwork.

I am presuming that it will take a lo-o-ng time for a certain senior citizens group to realize that I am not old enough to join them yet. Give it another thirty years maybe.

Good morning. You can’t help your time zone!

I got up later than usual because we’d had a power flicker and my clock was blinking 12:00.

If you’re talking about the same one I’m thinking of, they like to snag folks the minute they are 50, and lump them in with “Seniors.” I figure a senior is 70 or older, depending on how well they function.

If they are 80 and function well, they aren’t Seniors.

I slept 11 hours. I guess I was just worn out from last week.

It’s 53, 40% and the wind is SE @12. Snow is expected on Mt. Charleston today, and that tells me that it’s going to be cold and wet this winter. Mt. Charleston had snow in September, and that’s never a good sign.

I got an email from the grandson who is on a mission, asking me for a tie. I don’t have money to buy him a tie. I don’t know how to tell him that. He has to wear a tie every day, so the more he has, be happier he will be. Now I feel really sad.

Well, I’m glad they got it all.

I suppose you’re going to blame Dark’s coffee.

Election day is a holiday in NYC.

I have no idea what’s on the ballot, but I’ll take the day off and fold my own clothes this laundry day and may be vote.

I won’t be around to annoy the UTers as much as usual, though.

I, for one, toss all the AARP envlopes in the trash unopened.

I’m not supporting a libby lobbying group no matter how much savings I can get.

I do the same with AARP and any “discounts” offered to people from other businesses.

Poke your head in once in a while, and enjoy the time off!

I hate posting to myself, but when I get up three hours after everyone else, that's what I seem to do best.

Done with a style and panache that can be matched by very few in this world.

He mentioned in passing that he’d done tens of thousands of thyroidectomies....

I did find an English Tea Shoppe, but I have yet to explore the menu to see if they have crumpets.

If they don't they are fake, and an inspection must be carried out by the man-from-the-ministry.
Ye Olde English Tea Shoppe.....tourists just can't get their collective heads around that. :) Neither can a lot of natives. sigh.

Apparently he used to work on British cars, he installed a drain for the inevitable leak...

Simply the Best, then.
It's not a leak, it is just marking its territory.
Just don't let him near your Electrics.

(Good to see the humour is still intact.)

Obviously he never worked on the electrics.

He didn’t try to reinstall smoke...
