Very true. Life can still be sweet, but better with honey. I miss mine.

Happy Birthday, at 72 I realize that everyday increasingly becomes a gift . . . not so much a gift if Trump doesn't get back in, though.

Lol and then some! #15 raises a question. Do deer count? #16 hits the spot. I turn 75 tomorrow :). Actually, they ALL hit the spot and brought back a flood of memories from my great growing up years. My brother as Mr. Spock one Halloween, acres and acres of woods to wander as we pleased, Mr. Peabody's Way-Back machine, bicycles as valued transportation, that grocery store in my home town, the list goes on. Thanks for the big smeters ouc!

LOL, there were "no option" days, for sure. Like when he'd point to the lawn mower (the reel push kind) and say something like, "You need exercise so get out and get on the business end of that and push it around the yard!". You NEVER said no.

Hopefully that same attitude by the American people can do away with this crazy electric vehicle nonsense.

Wow. Your dad gave you an option?
My dad just pointed to the wood pile.
"That wood ain't going to just chop itself"

Gross = 144 (12X12 or 12 squared)
Counting on your fingers (dactylonomy) On one hand, use your thumb to touch each segment of the other fingers.
When you get to the last segment of your pinky, you're at 12, use the other hand to touch the first segment of that hand. That marks your first 12.
Each additional 12, advances the second hand segment count.
When you get to the the last segment of the second hand pinky, you're at 144. One gross. That's where it came from.
Before the abacus, people counted gross quantities using their fingers.

I'll be checking the milk cartons . . . I'll tell em in aisle 1 where you are and you'll get rescued.

Okay... You got me.
What could I possibly want that isn't in Aisle 11?
That's was what I was getting at!
LOL...

I promise you, I go that store with my wife... I am in Aisle 11... Until she sees my picture on the side of a Milk Carton in Aisle 1... LOL

Laughing, "What's in the first 10 aisles?", (Raising and turning my pointed ears for a moment) answer: Everything NOT in aisle 11 - minus those things in the remaining aisles . . .

You asked . . . LMAO

No wonder, we've used the "Foot" for 200K years, as best we can figure, it's divided by 12 which a major harmonic in nature (not sure I said that correctly), Case in point, The major 12K year cycle, the present cycle is about to end soon and we should be getting ready so as many as possible can survive.
But the other point to be made is our SAE system fits Earth and Humanity perfectly. Metric does not.
The only thing that needed improving is Cups/Spoons/oz's/squirts, Etc, We could have made that a little easier.

Aisle 11...

Only 1 question:

WTF are in the first 10 aisles?

At this point, they could only exist so the anticipation of Aisle 11 BUILDS up and you don't just stroke out because you walked straight into that aisle...

Prove me wrong!

Excellent Stuff OUC!

I'm old enough to remember back in 1968: "We will be all metric by 1976"
They tried changing all the speed limit signs, our speedometers, our rulers... somehow it just didn't take.

You are correct - and back then you could say that.... now he would have to say... "you ""folks"" have to know your limitations.....

You're welcome. Personally, me dino refuses to let the corrupt scum trying take over our country get me down or anyone else on this board if I can help it.
Yet as Lt. Callahan said, "A man gots to know his limitations." Think that was Dirty Harry's "Magnum Force" flick.

Carl....YOU rock!!!! the best way to end a week!! Thank you....first reminds me of my time in the UK....they KNEW I was not from there before I said a word!

You'se guys are a riot!!! You guys have made my day - Thanks for the smiles!!!

Fantastic! I love Starsky (Hutch just died), and the drug dealer shoes. I'm using that one.

Loved the looking at vegans. So many people who I know are gluten free and/or vegans. It’s hard to cook for them. So guess what. I don’t anymore. Their loss.

with regard to the last one....I've already been tossed by a couple of girlfriends.....

Fantastic, OUC! Thank you! 👍

Way back when I was a kid, my dad would walk in the living room and turn off the TV and say to me and my brothers, "Get outside and find something to do or I'll find something for you." It was fearsome at the time, but he was definitely right! We had far more adventures outside than ever in front of the "idiot box" as he called it.

Yes, but my thought was their smiles are smaller than ours in general just as their measurements are.
Laughing

Seems like in keeping w/ the metric idea, wouldn't skilometer be closer than smeter? Just a thought.

Redemption hath come to pass.
Ye hath come thirtyscore furlongs that shalt separate sheep from goats, barley from oats, ships from boats and all that ye wilt be built.
Yet verily, verily, well, heck, maybe not.
So me dino am sorry too and is blue yet true.
