Those mugs you don't remember getting... could someone have given them to you as a souvenir from their own trip?

I bought all those mugs. I remember our trip to Toronto. The Casa Loma is great tourist attraction. I watched their video. Nothing on the video rang a bell. If I like the attraction, I'd buy a mug.
 

I have found the true meaning of life. It's you must replace everything you own very 20-30 years. I've been running up the old credit card, but I haven't bought anything "new"- it's been to replace something that wore out after 20-30 years. This week I'm replacing a porchlight and a heavy duty extension cord.
I'm not spending $270 for a "handyman" to replace my porch light. It amazes me how cheap I am. Before I knew the fee, I said I was almost 80 and I'm not climbing up a step ladder. Now, it's" oh hell yeah, I can do that" and save $270.
And I'll have to call an exterminator to get rid of my border, the groundhog under my deck. Apparently, the only real way to get rid of a groundhog is trap him. He's digging all over the place, so I'm not concern about his "quality of life".

It's the summer movie season, and there's promo ads on TV for the movies. Some of these movies look like they'd be great to see. Also, once in a while I'll click onto Turner Classic Movies. And they show movie promos for those old flicks. Here, too, according to the promo, it'll be a great flick to see. Yet, I found the movies rarely live up to the promo hype The promos are way better than the actual movie. I figured out a solution before I fell asleep last night. I solve most of the world's problems that way. I'd have the people, who usually made the promos, make the film. And the people, who made the film, they make the promos.
Things would run so much better if I were "World Emperor".
BTW, I watch reruns on "Match Game 74" It's amazing how big the 70s "big hair " was.

You so remind me of a guy who used to live at our Senior apartments. … that’s a compliment
, I say used to because his son decided that he needed some supervision..😁 … I miss him, and his daily conversations out on the lawn bench…very interesting person, and always up on everything.
He always ran around in his souped-up electric scooter. … a large, tall (6’4”) x-military guy

A thread reminded me of the "stars", who are on TV hawking some medicine. Henry Winkler is the latest one. I have to admit seeing these old sitcom stars doesn't want to make me run out and get some weird medicine. I think of how damn old "the Fonz" looks. Good grief, time hasn't been his friend. For some reason, when discussing star hawking stuff, I think of June Alyson selling "Depends".

I'm waiting for it to rain, that way I won't feel guilty about not doing some yard work. I'm wiped out. The last few days I've been doing stuff outside, and it's caught up with me.
I swear it's one thing after another. Now, my iPhone isn't sometimes charging at night.. Why??? But it'll charge during the day. :unsure: I have a backup charger and I'll try that, tonight.
Just a few years ago, I used to laugh at those idiots always on their phones. then I bought one. And I moved into the dark side. I'm one of them.
 
Got another Microsoft update last night. Every time I get an update, something doesn't work. Lately, it been the face recognition is messed up.
Having fun filling my gopher hole under the deck. I have to evict him, He's always late with rent and throws wild parties. The reviews on the local exterminators are not great. 😡
OH NOOOO. The leaves are starting to turn, and some are falling. It's way too early for that. Seeing the leaves on the ground brought images of 18 inches of snow on the ground.

Busy day. Barney, the bear, was around last night. And so was the lousy gopher living under my deck. I'm going to call animal control. Went to redo my will. My kid brother gets the vast Fuzzybuddy fortune. My "kid" brother is 69. I kind of wonder if he got in a really bad financial fix, he might want to do me in. But then, he's family??? :unsure: Yet, he is my only heir. Doing a will is rather eerie, the subject of my death keeps coming up.
You feel like you're dying of thirst in the desert with vultures flying above. You can't even die without getting a bill.
 
Oh Great!!!! I thought I had one gopher under the deck. I found out gophers bring their wives and kids with them. If you see one, there's a family. My brother told me how hard it was to get rid of his gophers. You think it's a dumb animal, but they can spot traps a mile away.
My new Will will be ready in about 2 weeks. Considering the Will will be activated with my passing, it's given me a sense of comfort?????
People are weird.
 
Went to J. C. Penny to get some new tighty whities. And I was checking out pants, when I ran into this warning label. " Warning- reproductive issues". I'm thinking what the hell are these things made of???? While I'm thinking about needing a lead shield for the pants, a guy ( another geezer) said, "they don't make shirts with pockets anymore". He was right. Not one shirt in Penny's had a pocket.
First. they make all pants with "slim fit". Who over 40 has a "slim fit" body? And now, they've taken away pockets on shirts, too?
Also, why is it that the first one in line at a stop light can't tell when the light changes?😡
And, when everybody is driving 70 in a 55 mile/hr zone, you run into someone, who is doing the speed limit. 😡

Now you get me started! You are soooo right about few people have a "slim fit" body. No woman over 16 should wear leggings. Ever. Anywhere. And I don't really want to see which side men wear their pants.

AND...women's pants pockets are useless! Too shallow, too narrow, nothing much will fit in them. I wear men's pants for this very reason. Relaxed fit. Better made, better material, and cheaper. So there.

Edit: And prairie dogs are hard to get rid of, too. I know one farmer that drops some sort of explosive down their tunnel and he says that works pretty well...
 
@Jules My husband likes a pocket in his shirts to hold his pen. Well, he was an accountant and needed it all the time. He only likes his pen choice.

I am petite but most of the pants for petite are either too long in legs or too short. I just go with the description when ordering online. It costs to have them shortened.

We do not go shopping for clothes in stores now.
 
I've been having problems with my iPhone charging up. Sometime it does, sometimes it doesn't. I finally figured it out the problem was the phone's port. There might be something stuck in it????So I tried vacuuming it. Now, I know this is dumb, but I was afraid it would suck all the apps out of the phone. :cry: But the phone does recharge now.
When I was in the Navy, I was stationed in NYC, and loved it. On a Friday evening, I was told I was being shipped to GTMO Cuba, and Monday morning, I was there. I had the same dumb feeling- I knew it couldn't happen, but I felt if I walked around the Cuban base, I'd find a subway entrance and a train back to NYC.
 
No one has ever used the words, "skinny", or "thin" to describe me. That said.....I was in the CVS pharmacy. In line ahead of me was a woman with the largest rear end I have ever seen. It was enormous. I didn't know they made jeans that big. I tried not to look, but it was hard to miss.
Since I vacuumed the charge port on my iPhone, it charges. For at least 75 years, I managed to live without a cell phone. Now, the thought that my little buddy is sick gets me all messed up.

fuzz,

I love you and enjoy your posts but this one hit a nerve.

You are better than this, buddy!

I'm having problems recharging my iPhone. Got one of those "updates". Ya know one of those "updates" that screw up things. It has something to do with when I recharge my phone.
It seems as soon as I solve one problem, there's another one waiting in the wings. Now, I gotta get the siding washed. And maybe my pet gopher & family have moved on to somebody else's deck????
My lawyer said it was better to prepay for a cremation. So, I should call and set up an appointment. One thing bothers me is how does he know I'm dead? I don't think sending a text telling him I'm dead works.
 
I got an estimate of $270 to replace my porch light. $270 ???
I'm the one who installed it 30 years ago- a couple of screws and a few wires!!! So, me and my imperial cheapness decided I could save $270 by doing it myself. I got everything ready, cut the power, and clumsily climbed up the step ladder. That's when the clouds parted and sunlight hit the area- you dumb jackass, you 're 80 and disabled. The best outcome would have been a broken hip. As much as it galls me, I'll have to fork over $270.
Well, it won't be that bad. I'll scrimp. I'll just have to eat the beef cat food, rather than the cheap sardine ones. 🙂
