I should enter this! I am a tech geek, but I already use a flip phone all the time. Don't need a map or phone book, though- but I could sure use $1,000! And since July first is still three weeks away...
I was involved in a case of adverse possession some years ago. The (by then deceased) previous owner of my property had encroached in his (eventually deceased) neighbor's property a few decades prior. She never appeared to have objected, and was living in a nursing home by the time I arrived. I bought the property with the understanding of the boundary lines as described by the deceased owner's widow, who didn't know about the encroachment (or forgot). Years later, the neighbor's heirs (who knew about the encroachment) sold the land to a guy who enforced the original boundaries, and bulldozed my driveway and flower gardens. A surveyor, city officials, and my lawyer said I had an ironclad case to get that land, but admitted it would take years in court and thousands of dollars. Instead, I sold the house (at a loss) and moved away.
The shelter has her designated as "Elizabeth," but that's way too long and mundane for a cat, and we already have an Elizabeth in the family. I like Frisby because it's just fun to say.
I had almost settled on Frisby, but now I want to name my next kitten Atomic Toaster. The problem is, I'd end up calling her Tommy, and I already have a tomcat named Tommy. Also, it's a girl. We've been waiting for a month now for her to reach two pounds, so the vet can spay her. If it happens today, I can bring her home from the shelter tomorrow.
Went to my little town, and found an NFL player I'd never heard of. Turns out he was born here, but went to school elsewhere and never came back. Apparently, he's more prominent than Colonel Sanders, who has a museum dedicated to him here.
Makes sense. A teenager is just becoming aware of traits that make them different from others, while older people have lived and experienced social roles- mother, teacher, scout leader, school board member, husband, supervisor, entrepreneur, church officer, caregiver, etc etc.
