I have DSL, no fiber-optic available in my aarea. The phone company can’t manage to communicate with Apple to fix the glitch that my DSL mail can’t show up in my Apple Mail app. And their webmail just sux. Sigh, there’s always something, eh?

It was pretty cool for not having been out of college for long. When I was hired and the partner suggested a salary, I was astounded. His reply was, “Well, Nani, you’re really used to being taken advantage of, aren’t you!” They later did VERY well when mobile phones came on the scene.

I keep envisioning that trophy as a big ugly dusty Lump Of Coal! Ha ha!

You got to your keyboard for a small rant. It’s a start. No hurry, though; be good to you.

Nylon-tipped pliers sound like a brilliant idea!

I freely admit that I just don’t want to mess with those old pens, as much as I loved them in 1973!

It was gorgeous!

Valvoline wants me to celebrate the US presidents by changing my oil.

Yup.

Boris & Natasha … perfect! 😏

This is a well thought-through and very troubling article. Do read it!

London & Cambridge. The partners even paid everyone’s way! We stayed in a cool little Chelsea flat.

Ha ha! More like the furtive glimpse category, I suspect! People seemed to think Thomas had a bomb in his pack. We were an odd bunch. It was a quirky consulting engineering company, with the partners there for an international engineering conference. The other 3 of us were tag-alongs. We had fun in

I betcha their suits are polyester from JC Penney. And they didn’t get the pants hemmed!

@katyshep.bsky.social that was a long time ago. My coworker Thomas looked like a large leprechaun or a red-haired, bushy bearded Irish terrorist. He carried a daypack. People on buses/trains kept their distance. I looked Scandinavian with 2 long braids. Brits wondered how to categorize us.

We all have or had our vices!

I stayed up late watching the Olympics—the ice dancing skater pairs were so beautiful! I’ll be sorry in 5.5 hours when I get up to get to the pool on time!

I always enjoy seeing your gold-leafed triptychs.

I came home and was sick for 2 weeks! Luckily the bosses were kind about that.

Just the people in it…

You’re so right!

I visited London in ‘80 or ‘81 w/ the small company I worked for. Came home with the worst case of bronchitis. The air there was crappy & we were walking a lot. Also the plane was divided in half lengthwise, smokers on left half, non- on right. Unfiltered Players, ugh! Me w/ head under blanket!

Los Angeles in the ‘70s, anyone?

I love his beard/mustache/whiskers!

I loved Harold & Maude!

Fabulous! Bondi will live to regret that line!

Wonderful!

While at the same time, underplaying it as “no big deal.”

Two types I don’t follow back: those who want endless financial support and those who have only one cause to post about incessantly.

Regulations are what keeps ordinary Americans healthy and, often, alive.

It took spoiled meat and rodent droppings out of our food. It took harmful lead out of our gasoline and paint. It took poison out of our water.

Deregulation only achieves one goal: making rich corporations richer.

How exactly does this greedy man’s plan benefit homeless, hungry, grieving, war-weary Palestinians? They get fenced-in “camps” and if lucky, the OK to commute to low-wage jobs in the rich people’s waterfront zone? I’d be furious if that was my situation. That’s not peace.
