I came in right at the end of the marble craze. I heard that Peewee Reese was a marble champion.
Maybe, but it was alllllll fun!

Great idea. As we get older, we could have an assortment of things hanging around our necks.
Absolutely! As a matter of fact, go to the store and buy those small packages of nuts and fruit, distribute them all around the house on the floor, just so in case: "I've fallen and can't get up!!!" Then at least you have something to eat while you are waiting for days to be rescued. LOL!!!!!!!
Or, have another thing to hang around your neck.

Ha ha, or don't use your phone for anything stupid to begin with. If anything, use a burner phone.
As it was stated, we are in the same age grouping. I am 86, and growing up in The Bronx, we used to have yo-yo season, marble season, stick ball season, curb ball season, etc. Everything had it own season.
But when it came to marble season, we would take a cigar box and cut 3 holes in it, and place the box against the curb. Then kids would stand in the middle of the street, and try to roll a marble at the box and get it in the hole and Win 10, 20, etc. marbles. (Some of us crafty ones would cut one hole in the middle of the box just barely smaller than an actual marble, and advertise by yelling: "50 marbles from across the street!" Everyone would line up to try, and never make it. If someone contested the hole, we would have a marble that would fit through the hole, palmed between fingers just to show the kid the hole was big enough, which seemed to satisfy everyone. LOL.

This is funny, but oh so typical. A few weeks ago, I bought a couple of sets of "locators." You keep a tag on your car keys, and if you lose them, you press a button on the remote, and the key locator tag beeps. Perfect. "Uh, where's that remote for the key locator?" If you can't keep track of a rather large set of keys, will you be able to remember where you put the remote two months ago?
Fortunately, I have the remote hanging on the key rack.
Never mind on a key rack, Jerry....Put it around your neck. LOL. In fact, put the key around your neck and you won't need a key finder.
Har-har.

A pig's kidney was transplanted into a man. Hearts and kidneys - I think we're about to see a stampede of pigs out of the country.
I guess if a Middle East man needed a transplant, they would elect to die rather than accepting a pig what-ever.
Just yesterday, as I was exiting from a parking lot, there was a BIG, (2x3ft) sign stating "NO LEFT TURN," right at the exit of the lot. wouldn't you know it, the car right in front of me made a left turn out of the parking lot! And, what is even worse, they had their left turn signal on!
People do not give a damn anymore and that is one of the problems of our time!

I just received a bill from Disney + for 20 + dollars. When I signed up for the Hulu package that included Hulu, Disney +, and ESPN +, it was around 11 dollars. I expected an increase but not almost double. When I examined the bill, it showed four charges, not three. When I drilled down to see what I was being charged for it showed one service at x dollars, another at x dollars, a third at x dollars, and the fourth was a charge for Disney add free. Since I first signed up for the service I have never watched anything on Disney, only on Hulu and ESPN. I don't need the add-free Disney since I haven't used that part of the service. I never asked for it to be ad-free but they just automatically added it. That is pretty sneaky. I will be sending them a nasty-gram and tell them to refund anything I paid for their ad-free service.

In this day and age, these companies have got you by the "gonads." You either pay or else! This is a "legal" type of the old "protection" game, that the gangsters of the 20's foisted upon store owners. "You pay us to protect you from us!" Now you pay for things you don't want in the first place, or you get the brown end of the proverbial stick. And, if you don't like being shafted, it doesn't matter to them! There are so many more sheep to slaughter...This is like David going up against an army of Goliath's!!!!! YOU CAN'T WIN....
But wait! There is one way to win.....IF NO ONE, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE SIGNS UP FOR THESE SERVICES IN THE FIRST PLACE. Isn't that a novel idea that can't work!!!

A famous photographer once told me create art not photographs. I took him up on his suggestion. Creating abstract nudes was my choice. These three recently sold on line. Enjoy
Whoever that famous photographer was, he/she, was right. And you hit it perfectly... These three images are excellent, but my word doesn't count when compared to sales....BRAVA ski.......
