I’ve had tenants and my father had tenants for oh, 50 years or so. If she pays the rent, takes reasonable care of her apartment, watches the house when you’re gone, etc., pick up the poop. While it’s annoying, it’s such a small thing compared to chasing rent.

I shopped at Talbots in the 60’s, and I was just there a few weeks ago. If they go under I will miss them, but you’re right, they should go back to their original model.

“When growing up, and Polish jokes were the rage,...”
I’m guessing you also remember the barrage of Polish jokes when John Paul II was elected Pope. People that never told jokes in the office at all would seek me out to tell me the latest one they had heard. It never bothered me.

Ah, The Good Earth. Read it many, many years ago, while I was in high school. It wasn’t assigned, I just picked it up in the library. One of those books that really makes an impact. I was talking about it just the other day.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought I read at one point that there was a severability clause in the Act, but that Congress removed it before the vote.

I moved out of NJ and sent a letter to the county Board of Elections, advising them we had moved out of state and requesting that they remove us from the voter rolls. Got a letter back saying when we didn’t vote in 4 consecutive national elections they would remove us. I haven’t yet checked to see whether I voted there or not. So even when you try to do it right, the system is screwed up.

We didn’t have school lunches in the 50’s. We walked home for lunch. Now and then we got a lunch packed, or for a very special treat, maybe once a month we were give 50 cents for a hamburger and a milk shake at the local ice cream shop. I lived about 8 blocks from school and had to cross a fairly main road with the safety patrol.
