Thanks and sorry to go off topic. No, she is not Rosemary DeCamp. Her name is Pam and she and Jim are Preppers selling ideas and storage advice at RoseRed Homestead.

My father used the Boraxo hand soap.
You were not off topic. A new topic is always around the next bend.

"People laugh differently online primarily because the digital environment lacks the physical and vocal cues present in face-to-face interactions. In the absence of these cues, people use text-based or visual expressions such as “lol,” “haha,” or emojis to convey humor."

"Social norms and community-specific conventions also play a role, as online spaces have their own rules for expressing laughter. Additionally, the medium and pacing of online communication affect how humor is delivered and received."

"Anonymity and the global nature of online interactions can lead people to express laughter more openly or adapt to different cultural expressions. In essence, online laughter is a unique form of expression that has evolved to suit the characteristics and norms of the digital world."

String Theory​

Back in the mid-80s, a friend of mine was at my house one afternoon when he pulled from his jacket pocket a lump of black plastic roughly the size and weight of a brick and began speaking to it as though it were a person.

"I LOVE this picture of Julia Child filming French Chef back in 1963. There are 5 people - FIVE! - sitting on the floor of the set, crammed behind her kitchen island, hidden from the camera's view. One of the five is holding at the ready a pie tin, which will undoubtedly be magically transported into her hand momentarily."

"One of those people, I think, is my friend Alex Pirie, who was her production manager for years. He still lives in Cambridge."
