I learnt from a book that it's impossible to ignore thoughts. This is because one part of the brain, the monitor, is on the look out for the errant thought. Another part of the brain, the operator, is activated when the thought does occur. So the monitor, on the look out for the thought, is constantly activating the operator, which makes ignoring thoughts difficult. This is called the ironic process theory.

From wiki:

"A series of puppet animation public information films, featuring Tufty Fluffytail and narrated by Bernard Cribbins were in regular broadcast rotation across the UK. Tufty Fluffytail, a childlike red squirrel character, was created in 1953 by Elsie Mills to introduce clear and simple safety messages to children. The success of the character led to the creation in 1961 of the Tufty Club for children under five years of age. Under its auspices more than 30,000 Tufty books about road safety were issued to parents. At its peak there were nearly 25,000 branches of the Tufty Club throughout the UK, and by the early 1970s an estimated two million children were members. The movement continued into the 1980s."

Squirrels say a lot with their tails and their chatter. Although their calls sometimes sound like they're scolding us — or the cat — most of them are alarm signals given both to warn off a predator and to warn other squirrels of danger.

Squirrels pretend to bury their nuts and acorns to protect them from would-be thieves, scientists say. Grey squirrels create numerous stores, especially when food is scarce, by digging shallow pits with their paws, pushing items in with their mouths and filling the holes up with debris.

The “gno” stem is to do with knowledge. There is a Latin word which relates ignore to not learning rather than not knowing.

Ignoring your hunger sets your body up to physically rebel by making you focus only on eating and food. Your attempts to push down your hunger cause your brain to focus more and more on eating and food. Your body has one driving goal – survival. To survive your body must sleep, eat, reply on your favorite forum, and drink water.

Yes. I used to have upwords but I prefer scrabble. Especially dirty scrabble. It’s not just about dirty words, but it’s about breaking rules in general. Any word goes even if it’s misspelled if it’s funny. If the other player has something really good short of 1 letter then you can do a letter swap. All sorts of things as long as it’s fun and if it’s really good you take a picture of the board.

Well, sometimes I like to eat hot cereal, like Oatmeal or Cream of Wheat. During the summer I'm more inclined to eat cold cereal like Cheerios or Chex. We've been on a Kashi GO kick so that's what I had yesterday with milk, and mixed in a little "Cocoa Krispies" for that hint of chocolate.

I don't always have cereal for breakfast - for instance today I had Eggo toaster waffles, a banana, small juice and bacon. Plus coffee. Other than the bacon, that's a common breakfast for me (sans the bacon I'll typically have cheese). Bacon's a "once in a while" treat.

I guess in the U.K. you would either have cereal such as cornflakes with cold milk or porridge/oats with hot milk, so saying cereal or porridge is all that is needed. Cream of Wheat is not a brand available in the U.K. as far as I know (unless maybe in foods of the world section)

I always thought that "board" meant THREE meals not two. That would have gotten under my skin, too.

When I went back to school (1990s), I was on lifetime number 2 and was a non-trad. When I told one of my sisters about going back to school, she asked if I was going to live in the dorm. WHAT? She thought that I would have more fun. I reminded her that I was at least 10 years older than most of those students and I asked her what I was supposed to do with all my furniture and (more importantly) my 4 cats. Of course she didn't have an answer.

Those were lean years but it really was a good time for me. I had a really nice apartment. I probably could have moved some place cheaper but my home was a priority. I also had a really good landlord. I lived there for 6 years and he never raised my rent. So, I was paying less than just about everyone else in the building. Of course food wasn't always high on the list. I guess I could have applied for food stamp but the idea never crossed my mind. I did eat-just not a lot. I was REALLY thin in those days.

I also did a lot of healing during that time. Not only was I getting my undergraduate and working on my graduate (which I never finished :-[ ), I did a lot of writing-both personal and other. That was when I wrote my first book.

I cried when I moved out and I only moved out to move in with Carlos and gained 20 lbs in the first couple of months because he fed me. The funny thing is, after 20+ years, I still dream about that apartment.

Glad to hear things worked out in "lifetime number 2". I also had a non-contiguous run through college. When I returned to school after taking time off to work (fortunate was I to pick up work shortly after bailing on college attempt #1 mid-semester "in a heap"), it was as a transfer student, and unlike the first time I was now a commuter, returning to parents' home. Now working, I paid for college and college expenses (though the folks provided room and board). I continued working while a student - initially part time for both, later I got the opportunity to co-op, a school-sanctioned/employer-sanctioned repeated time slicing between study and paid internship (an amazing experience).

In retrospect I'm still grateful for the chance to spend a few years in dorm living, for the experiences, even with its annoyances and challenges.

I was really lucky. Uncle Sam paid for my undergraduate tuition, books and gave me a bit of a stipend every month I was in school (which is why I took a couple of summer classes each year). I wasn't living high on the hog but enough to get by. After graduating, I was no longer getting that stipend and had to pay for graduate school on my own (with A LOT of help from my grandmother). I had my AF pension but things were still VERY tight. Since graduate school was an independent study course, I was free to get a job-which I did working a substitute teacher (putting my teaching certification to work). Like I said, it was enough to get by even though things were tight. Until I moved in with Carlos and my expenses were cut in half. I didn't need to work anymore. Unfortunately, I withdrew from grad school with the intent of returning because I was burnt out and was so far behind. If I took an extra semester, that probably would have been ok but that would have cost me more $$$$$ than I had. Yeah, I never returned. :-[

Money laundering is the illegal process of concealing the origins of money obtained illegally by passing it through a complex sequence of banking transfers or commercial transactions. The overall scheme of this process returns the "clean" money to the launderer in an obscure and indirect way

That narrows it down, although Peanut Jelly should be prioritized, some cities and countries have rather advanced delivery systems for ingredients and ready meals, and many businesses are now starting to offer this service. Some solutions include “contact-less” options, where no human interaction is required, thus supporting self-quarantine and isolation measures. Peanut Jelly should be prioritized, particularly from reliable businesses following strict food hygiene requirements. For food delivery and transportation, it is important to keep all jellies at safe temperatures (below 5 °C or above 60 °C). Keeping in mind that these services might be overwhelmed, you might want to consider exploring what is available in your area.

Aside from the fact that they may be eating your plants, marmots are not all that dangerous, preferring to lounge around all day instead of chasing you. As long as you leave them alone, they'll leave you alone. This means, however that they may bite you if you try to feed them or you accidentally disturb them.

Marmots belong to the squirrel family (Sciuridae) within the order Rodentia. The closest living relatives of marmots are ground squirrels and prairie dogs. Marmots' evolutionary history is recorded in North America by fossils of extinct species from the late Miocene Epoch (13.8 million to 5.3 million years ago)

I just looked it up and listened. A very unusual song to be a Christmas song. It doesn't seem to have much to do with Christmas, but at last it has one line "I wish I was home for Christmas". In the US we have a song that gets played every Christmas "My Favorite Things" from "The Sound of Music". People just accept this thing as a Christmas song but in reality it has nothing whatsoever to do with Christmas in any way. Very odd.

You should see me when I do dishes. I put on music and I'm singing my lungs out and dancing around.

I also sing in the shower-usually pretty loud (because Carlos is upstairs and won't hear it too much. If he was in the living room I wouldn't sing as loud). This is how it went one time:

Me: Summertime and the living is easy.

Voice from beyond the shower curtain: Meow.

Me: Fish are jumping, and cotton is high.

Voice: Meow.

I looked outside of the shower to see Josette sitting there. She has done that many times before. I keep wondering if she is critiquing my singing or singing along. I think she is singing along.

I also always loved the cover art from this 1973 Jefferson Airplane live album "Thirty Seconds Over Winterland". I just love the flying toaster clocks! In 1989 a company called Berkeley Systems pretty much ripped off the toaster art hook, line and sinker for an immensely popular "flying toaster" screensaver. Some of you of a certain age will remember it. In 1994 Jefferson Airplane sued, claiming that Berkeley Systems had stolen their toaster art. The Airplane lost, believe it or not.

1) Berkeley Systems claimed no prior knowledge of the album art (obviously a total lie).
2) Jefferson Airplane had failed to trademark the cover art (unfortunately true. People weren't as "brand" conscious in those days as they are now).

Jelly shoes or jellies are shoes made of PVC plastic. Jelly shoes come in a large variety of brands and colors and the material is frequently infused with glitter. Its name refers to the semi-transparent materials with a jelly-like sheen.
PVC comes in two basic forms: rigid (sometimes abbreviated as RPVC) and flexible. The rigid form of PVC is used in construction for pipe and in profile applications such as doors and windows. It is also used in making bottles, non-food packaging, food-covering sheets, and cards (such as bank or membership cards). It can be made softer and more flexible by the addition of plasticizers, the most widely used being phthalates. In this form, it is also used in plumbing, electrical cable insulation, imitation leather, jelly shoes, flooring, signage, phonograph records, inflatable products, and many applications where it replaces rubber. With cotton or linen, it is used in the production of canvas.

Gravy goes on lots of things besides turkey. Chicken, meatloaf, all kinds of things. Southern families in the US make biscuits and gravy. Some Italian-American families refer to their authentic, homemade tomato pasta sauce as "gravy". Of course, these are all very different types of gravy.

And most people don't know that it is NOT just for pancakes. The "chef" uses it in cooking all the time. It goes great on ham or pork. Sometimes he uses it in stir-frys. We also put it ice cream-especially vanilla. Unfortunately, it raises his blood sugar so he doesn't do it too often. (But even elevated, his numbers are not bad so he can get away with it once in a while.) We usually buy a gallon of it in the spring (when it is made) and most years it will last us until the following spring. The funny part about it is that we buy it at a local physical therapist's office. (Where else would you buy it? lol :D ;D ;D ) Someone who works there owns the farm where it is made and they bring it in to be sold (along with maple walnuts, maple almonds, and other maple products).

Whenever we travel, we usually deposit jugs along our way at friends & family's houses where we visit. We have dropped them off in Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee, California, Ohio, Puerto Rico, Connecticut, & New York. (Yeah, I know Connecticut & New York can get their own but there is nothing like Vermont.) Just spreading the sweetness.

I almost always prefer how the cheap stuff tastes . Off brand cookies, cereal, chips, toaster pastries, cereal bars, Mac and liquid cheese in the box, soup, crackers. The less actual food content the better I tend to feel. Only one place I draw the line and that’s with the super cheap cheese that tastes like oil and water. Velveeta or Kraft is great.

(a customer walks in the door.)

Customer (John Cleese): Good Morning.

Owner (Michael Palin): Good morning, Sir. Welcome to the National Cheese Emporium!

Customer: Ah thank you my good man.

Owner: What can I do for you, Sir?

C: Well, I was, uh, sitting in the public library on Thurmon Street just now, skimming through 'Rogue Herrys' by Hugh Walpole, and I suddenly came over all peckish.

O: Peckish, sir?

C: Esuriant.

O: Eh?

C: 'Ee I were all 'ungry-like!

O: Ah, hungry!

C: In a nutshell. And I thought to myself, 'a little fermented curd will do the trick', so, I curtailed my Walpoling activites, sallied forth, and infiltrated your place of purveyance to negotiate the vending of some cheesy comestibles!

O: Come again?

C: I want to buy some cheese.

O: Oh, I thought you were complaining about the bouzouki player!

C: Oh, heaven forbid: I am one who delights in all manifestations of the Terpsichorean muse!

O: Sorry?

C: 'Ooo, Ah lahk a nice tune, 'yer forced to!

O: So he can go on playing, can he?

C: Most certainly! Now then, some cheese please, my good man.

O: (lustily) Certainly, sir. What would you like?

C: Well, eh, how about a little Red Leicester.

O: I'm, a-fraid we're fresh out of Red Leicester, sir.

C: Oh, never mind, how are you on Tilsit?

O: I'm afraid we never have that at the end of the week, sir, we get it fresh on Monday.

C: Tish tish. No matter. Well, stout yeoman, four ounces of Caerphilly, if you please.

O: Ah! It's beeeen on order, sir, for two weeks. Was expecting it this morning.

We only went out on Lake Champlain (the southern end) and land is always in sight. (We rarely went out in the broad lake.) And I'm a good swimmer.

I know Carlos misses it. He is the sailor. One of his favorite quotes is:

You can teach a man to sail but you can't teach him why.

The weirdest thing happened one time when we were out on the Lake. I saw one of his past lives-an Irish fisherman in the 19th century. It was the strangest thing. I have NEVER seen anyone's past life before.

Once you use to own a boat
Now sold off as secondhand
Reflecting on the times you had,
It's now safer on dry land.

On 23 November 2011, Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan gave an apology for the confusion, describing it as "one of the most tragic events of our near history" adding that, whilst some sought to justify it as a legitimate response to events on the ground, it was in reality "an operation which was planned step by step".

It was featured in the award winning 1943 film "Hefnd Gelatínuskóna" directed by Paul Myshosoff.

Ooh, what are you making?

I TRIED to learn to sew-bought a sewing machine/cabinet and everything. I made half a pair of shorts, half a skirt and that was about it. :-\\ :-\\ I mainly used the machine to sew stripes on uniforms (got paid $1 a stripe from friends/co-workers) or repaired rips.

After I got out of the service, like this thread, I ignored the machine and used the cabinet as a table. I finally gave the machine/cabinet to my niece.

I made a couple custom household "dust covers". I bought some new placemats and decided I wanted to keep them out of the dust, so I made them a zipper cover. Previously my old placemats were filled with dust when I wanted to use them. I also made a cover for some cutting mats I had in the kitchen for the same reason. The cutting mats cover was in my mind a long time, the placemats cover was a new idea. (Interestingly, for both I decided to use a cut up tablecloth instead of fabric, as I liked its pattern.) Now I'm trying to decide whether to make a couple more fabric coasters (I made two already) - the fabrics I use coordinate with the decor.

You made a cover for the placemats which are a cover for the table. A cover for the covers! Reminds me of the episode of "Friends" where Monica vacuums the floor, then she vacuums the VACUUM with a smaller vacuum. Then she holds up the smaller vacuum and says "I wish there was a vacuum for this". ;D ;D ;D

Except these placemats aren't full-time placemats; I only use them on certain occasions. I store them on a shelf of an Ikea glass tower, and to my dismay they (the old ones) were full of dust when I last went to use them. I'm glad I no longer need to worry about dusty placemats now with the new attractive zipper cover - which looks good sitting on the glass tower shelf.

Written By: Voiceofthe70s on 11/10/20 at 8:49 am

So this morning I had a "Wow! I didn't know that" moment followed by a "Why didn't I know that" moment.

I was doing housework and like I normally do, I turned on a CD. Today's choice was Buffalo Springfield. The only thing that I really know about Buffalo Springfield is "For What it's Worth" which was the reason why I bought the CD. So, I just put the entire album on and went about my work. One song came on and I said to myself, "Self, that sounds like Neil Young." I looked at the album jacket and sure enough, it was Neil Young-along with "Steve" Stills. WHAT?? Neil Young and Stephan Stills were in Buffalo Springfield? I didn't know that. And then I was like, Why didn't I know that? I like to think that I am somewhat knowledgeable about music (especially classic rock). :-[

See, you do learn something everyday even if it is something that I should have known decades ago.

Cat

Yes Neil Young and Stephen Stills were in the Buffalo Springfield, as was Richie Furay, who later went on to be in Poco. When Stills (and later Young) joined forces with David Crosby from The Byrds and Graham Nash from the Hollies they became known as "the first American supergroup". The entire reason they chose the name Crosby, Stills & nash (and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young) is become they had all come from these other bands beset with problems. people leaving, new people coming in, etc. So by choosing a band name that specifically had their names in it (and sounding somewhat like a law firm), the band could only exist if it actually had those specific people in it.

Since they were lithographs there was more than one of each. They can be printed from plates and sold in a numbered series. Yoko has done this occasionally over the years. A friend of mine actually had one. It was much larger than I would have expected.

No, that's just what lithographs are. They are designed to be reproduced in limited, expensive, numbered editions. Keep in mind, the original exhibition where the bust took place was in an art gallery, not a museum. Things in art galleries are meant to be sold.

Then you definitely won't know that CSN were brought together by none other than Cass Elliot, sometimes known as "the Gertrude Stein of Laurel Canyon". She knew that three fine harmony singers like that belonged together. Crosby had been tossed out of the Byrds for being difficult to work with and Nash left the Hollies as he felt they were not adventurous enough for the direction he was going in after hearing singer/songwriters like Crosby, Stills and Joni Mitchell. To this day, on any group or solo album by CSN members they thank Cass Elliot in the credits.

O0 As always, good info!

As an unrelated aside, the reference to "Laurel Canyon" conjures up some very concrete pictures for me. Given the time I've spent in the L.A. area, I've driven on or around Laurel Canyon a whole lot - my brother's family was living just a street off of it for a while. They've since moved, but are still in the San Fernando Valley area.

I wrote this back in 1993.

THE RIVER

From my window I see a river that bends and curves with
the tide. It runs pass my house but it's not that wide.
The smell of fish is in the air and I stare at the river
without a care.
The river soothes my mind when it is heavy with fright.
It also sings me to sleep when I'm in my bed at night.
Sometimes I feel like the river, free to run to the sea.
I have high days and low days and days where I just want
people to let me be.
The river is like my mind, moving with a constant flow.
Other times when a storm builds it rocks to and fro.
I see myself in the river, not like looking in the
glass. I see the river's bed as my past.
I started long ago from a mountain top when I was small and
just a stream. I will end at the sea when I will no longer be
able to dream.
The river is never ending unlike me which time is short
to live. When I am forgotten, the river will still be here
with all the joy still to give.

Adjustment preeminent, gray areas finally erased - not before
Hindsight is out of sight -
Blinded by status quos
Mirroring bygone likenesses’
Illusory forms, intellectually misled - spiritually dead
Sight gags, cataracts with panoramic view -
Now you see them; now you don’t
Cloud gathering by invitation only

The rear bearings have been going out for awhile. I ignored it because there was no way I would be able to fix it until I healed up from surgery. It’s not really difficult, just a lot of work and I have to make a tool to press the bearings out. But way cheaper and easier than hauling in a new washer.

I planned to ignore this thread today but got caught up doing some laundry...

I started some more laundry this morning but I almost forgot about it. Had I continued to ignore it, the laundry might start to smell musty, so since I caught it in time I put it in the dryer.

Incidentally, the dryer is 40 years old. But it still works. We haven't replaced it because it's difficult to find a suitable replacement. This Spring the door stopped latching. Just before that, its timer knob cracked. I tried to find a replacement for the timer knob but to no avail. so I was able to get it to work with some Gorilla glue (or something similar). Hopefully it holds up a while. As for the door not latching, we tried to fix it but couldn't even get the old screws off. We had to prop a big box against it to keep the door from flying open - so annoying. So two weeks ago we had a repairman come fix the door. He did a good job but it cost us $$. Such is life. I'm just glad it's done.

One thing I have learned is that appliances break-it doesn't matter how young or old they are. And the more bells and whistles on them, the more things can go wrong.

A few months ago, I went to run the dishwasher and it sounded very strange. When it was done, I realized that it was trying to "dry clean" the dishes. Great. Just what I needed, a busted dishwasher. We bought it right before we moved into the house-about 6 years or so. Naturally, the warranty expired last year. >:( It needed to be fixed so the (Sears) repair guy came.

What had happened, was the apron on the dishwasher didn't want to stay on. It was like that since day one, practically. Since it wasn't hurting the operation, we didn't bother with it. But our little Luna(tic) decided that playing with the wires under the dishwasher was a lot of fun and pulled the line that feeds the water to the dishwasher. The repair guy put the apron back one so Luna(tic) couldn't do that again. (He also fixed the little doohicky that sits on the end of the upper rack that kept falling off.) I can't remember how much that little bit cost us. But, at least the apron is on the way it is supposed to be.

Anyway, the repair guy told us that Sears has a repair service that will cover just about all our appliances-even the ones that are ancient and the ones we did not buy from Sears. The dishwasher, refridge, stove, microwave, washer, dryer are all covered.

https://www.searshomeservices.com/home-warranty/compare-home-warranty-plans

Oh, and our repair guy said that the systems plan isn't worth it.

Now, our only worry is if Sears is going to be around for a while longer. :-\\

Six years young and needing repair! That stinks :-\\

As you remind me, our dishwasher has been out of commission for over a year. It's currently being a giant dish-drying rack! But it was about 10 when it died, not 6. We are shopping for a replacement - slowly, as it's been at least a year. I guess I'm used to hand-washing again. With the dryer, on the other hand, we don't have a work-around - our little condo doesn't have a clothesline on the balcony LOL. And I'm not willing to do the weekly haul off to the laundromat...

We used to make what we referred to as an "Arffer Special" (named after my sister's boyfriend at the time-Arthur). He taught us how to make it.

3 slices of bread: One with peanut butter, one with Fluff, and one with jelly. Haven't had one in DECADES but I do recall they were very yummy. Of course that was when Fluff was made with REAL sugar and not corn syrup.

Yup. Her name is Josette. She doesn't "meow" but she "peep" so many times I call her "Peep." I would also call her "Little Josette" even though she not so little any more. One day, I was getting the two names mixed up and it came out "Little Jo Peep" which is now added to the names I call her.

And yeah, every night she come up for attention. She walks all over us. It is funny because she will put her nose under our arms and push with her head so we will pet her. She sometimes does that in the middle of the night when we are sound asleep.

I'm gonna add some of that to the poem, too. I just haven't gotten there yet.

A UK favourite,

While shepherds washed their socks by night
All seat run the tub
The angel of the Lord came down
And taught them how to scrub.

While shepherds washed their socks by night
And hung them on the line
The angel of the Lord came down
And said that red pair’s mine

The strange thing is that if that expression (もしもし) was only developed in response to developments in telecommunications, there may have never been a word before then that simply meant "Hi" in that language. Because konnichiwa actually meant "good day", specifically noon to afternoon. Kuhn-buhn-wa means good evening.

I say "may" for words other than もしもし meaning "Hi" because Slowpoke probably knows more Japanese than me, so maybe he could tell you more about this.

You probably know more than me, it has been a while since I studied it. Although I listen to Japanese rock music (I've got some recommendations if you want ;)) so I haven't forgot all of it.

@Elor is right that もしもし (moshi moshi) is "hello" for the phone.

You are also right that お早う (ohayou) translates to "Good morning". 早 is the character for "early".

You're both right that 今日は (konnichiwa) means "good day"/"hello". I think it can be used as a general hello, although I might be wrong on that. 今 (kon) is that character for "now" and 日 (nichi) is "day". (If you noticed, the character for early 早 is composed of the character for day 日 and the number ten 十; might make it easy for you to remember ;))

今晩は (konbanwa) means good evening. 今 (kon) is the same as above. 晩 (ban) is not a common character in Korean so I'm not familiar with it, but looking in the dictionary it means "late".

I know this. When I first looked up the direct translation for "Hi", my phrasebook had a note in parentheses that said "for phone". So I know it could be used for the phone, but exactly how old that word is, possibly indicating it was adapted for phone usage rather than made anew if it is that old, I don't know.

Konnichiwa means, most literally, "good day", even though it is the phrase most often used in the context of a general greeting, that is true.

In short, there are 50 ways to say hello in Japanese depending on context and formality, along with bowing and other mandatory pleasantries that need to be exchanged when greeting someone. Good luck learning learning that language :P ;D

Yeah, I gave up real quick on learning the language. Yes, I did want to learn a new language, but I just settled for Japanese because I felt like learning the language of a country that is both geographically near and rich was more practical than what I wanted to learn. (Spanish.)

Thanks. It was sounding like bowling balls on a metal roof even with the door closed. Kinda hard to ignore that. It’s so quiet now you can barely hear it spin. The whole thing had to come apart. I took 2 days cleaning 18 years of lime buildup from all the parts. I also did some research and put in higher quality bearings and seals than the kits from eBay or Amazon and still did it for about $50. As long as I can find parts I’ll get another 18 years from it.

I usually do 1 load a week so I ignore it for 2 weeks then do it in one evening. It does big loads.

Sounds like us. We have one basket right in front of the washer for dirty clothes. The laundry room is on the second floor with only the bathroom separating it from our bedroom. And my "closet" IS the laundry room where I have 3 dressers, two jewelry armoires (one has a full-length mirror), a vanity plus the small closet in the room. Yeah, I have A LOT of clothes-but only wear a fraction of them. (I know, I know. I need get rid of some-AGAIN.) Carlos has 2 dressers in the bedroom plus the small closet in there. The only things to be dragged around is when I am doing towels (having to bring them upstairs from the bathroom where we shower).

When the clothes come out of the dryer, they go into another basket. I SOMETIMES fold the clothes in the clean basket if it starts to overflow. Carlos really doesn't like it when I fold the clothes because then he has to put them away because I use the washer as a folding table and I can't do another load until he puts his clothes away.

New Years Resolution (which has been the same resolution for the past I don't know how many years now) is to reorganize that room. But, in the meanwhile, I just ignore it.

Internet pictures of that 6 piece pack say .93 oz net weight. So 17.2 packs in a lb. Therefore 34,408 packs in a ton.

Regardless of leap year, during the period you were 14, you ate 94-95 of those packs a day. If the pack was 25 cents like internet pictures I see, you spent $23.63 a day on the candy.

I remember when they were a penny each. When I was REALLY young, I used to call them "Nallen Ate-ers". lol. I guess that is what happens when all the kids who were buying them had New "Yowk" accents. lol. It wasn't until I was much older when I learned the REAL name.

Good and Plenty is basically black licorice with a crunchy candy coating (not a knock - I like it - that's just what I believe they are)

Did they ever make chocolate Now and Laters?

My aging brain seems to recall that Now and Laters, when I first saw them ('69 or '70), originally came in more flavors, and the flavors were whittled down over time. As I believe they had other flavors there is a slight chance that chocolate was among them, but I'm a bit doubtful about that. Fruit flavors always dominated their repertoire.

The stove pot heat melted the candy coating and I was left with licorice at the end.

The reason American English dropped the ‘u’ in words like ‘colour’ is because in modern English, there is no need for the ‘u’ anymore, British English decided to be conservative in its spelling and keep the ‘u’ to indicate how it was pronounced as.

When she was on General Hospital, I wrote her a letter saying that I'm sure she didn't remember me but maybe she remembered my mother. I gave her my mother's address. She sent my mother a letter and pic, which my mother had hanging on her wall until we closed up her house. I have that pic now.

If one combines "British" and "Mother" one ends up with "Brother". So she has a brother in Australia and that's why she needs to go there!
That makes her a wealthy overweight Japanese lady with bad teeth, British ancestry and a brother in Australia who is most likely a deported felon. None of her secrets will remain undetected! :D

Is is funny that you should ask that because on that cruise he was telling us that when he told someone that he was from Australia, that person asked, "Do you know Crocodile Dundee?" He told us that he told the guy, "Yeah, he is my uncle." :D ;D ;D

Oh, funny story about this guy on that same cruise. It was a Greek cruise and the put us English speaking people together at a table for dinner. Our waiter was Greek and didn't speak a word of English but he seemed like a really nice guy-always smiling and such.

The last night on the cruise was "Greek night" and they had to nets along with wall with a plastic crabs and such hanging from them. At one point during dinner, our waiter takes one of those plastic crabs and puts in under the Aussie's chair. We are all giggling at this point. The Aussie then looks under his chair to see what we are all giggling at. Sees the crab and raises it above his head and almost yells, "I got crabs." By this time I am laughing really hard. Then he said, "I got them from him" pointing to our waiter. I almost totally lost it at that point. I sure no one else in the dinning room knew what we were laughing at (including our waiter) because I'm not too sure how many of them spoke/understood English.

It is stupid, but this one from Chime takes the cake. This woman dives me crazy. Her babbling is barely understandable. She says she "boasts" to her co-workers that she got paid early. Who does that? Not exactly a way to make friends at work. Not to mention, if you get paid "early" the same time every single pay period it's not "early", it's just the time you get paid. She also speaks in an annoying combination of "uptalk" and "vocal fry", "I get my paycheck up to two days earrrrllllyyyy?". And what's up with that Halloween eye-makeup? Is that a thing now?
