This reminds me of an old joke I saw as a child . . . ask someone what "r-u-s-t-y b-e-d" spells, and they'll correctly say "rusty bed." Then you say, "Ok, so what is 'r-e-s-t-y l-e-d" and people will often say "resty led" instead of "re-styled" (I put the hyphen in there for ease of reading!).

No one is forcing people to buy stuff all the time--what happened to the idea of "enough"? I'm glad they mentioned fast fashion, which creates a huge problem with waste; a lot of that stuff ends up in landfills. Just . . . buy less crap? Isn't that easier?

We only got ABC and CBS way out east on Long Island when I was a kid. We didn't even get the NY stations--we got the Connecticut affiliates instead, for some reason. My friends in the next town over got those two plus NBC so if I wanted to see that new TV show "Saturday Night Live" I had to go to a friend's house for a sleepover (it was on so late!). Took a long time before my mom's house got cable.

I'm glad this story had a happy ending. But I wonder how many other people are feeling this way and we don't know about it. So many lonely older people who would love to have someone to chat with but who don't reach out (shy? scared? depressed?). Maybe we should all reach out to neighbors. Just a thought.

Yes, the Liberty Bell is interesting and historically important, but if you get a chance to visit Falling Water in western PA, you'll love it. A beautiful location!

My immediate thought: Doesn't it make everything soggy? And second thought: the "bubbles" are just gluey, chewy tapioca balls. Does a burger need that?

The problem with many of these so-called personality tests that I've seen is that they have no shades of gray. Whether I'm an introvert or an extrovert, for example, depends on the circumstances e.g., who I'm with and how well I know them, whether I'm in a familiar environment or an unfamiliar one, whether I'm in my comfort zone professionally or whether I'm learning new content from experts in other fields, and a million other factors. Most of the time when I've seen questions on these "tests" my answer would be, "Well, it depends . . . ."
