  1. Definitely a 'mom & pop'  place and not a chain.  And a place that has wings, since there is an over supply.  They should be cheap.

    We got  a carry out from a chain steakhouse place and it was not very good.  Plus it was expensive.

    But the icing on the cake was they forgot my grandson's  kids cheeseburger.  He was crushed as he pulled the other meals from

    the bag. He set the table and recognized his meal was not included.

    At least they did not charge us for the missed meal.  A quick trip to the nearby Wendy's  was the solution.

    I actually take great pride in my penmanship.  Always have.  I can always appreciate beautiful cursive.

     

    Watching cursive die is truly sad to me.

     

    Same here.  My penmanship is excellent.

    Young co-worker  struggles to READ  cursive.

     

    My one regret is that I never learned short hand from my mom.

    Short hand is TRULY a dying communication form.

  3. Today is the "Heinz" day towards retirement.  57 more to go.

    Those are calendar days. 

    My replacement has been hired and training begins Monday.

    Fortunately, this was a person who left the company.  They found

    out the grass isn't always greener on the other side and

    is coming back.  I had begun the training with this person and was crushed when

    they left.  Now they are back , training wont be difficult.

     

    Mrs. Lew wishes it was 5.7 days as the knotheads she works with

    are becoming more knotheadier each day.

    Working my *** off.

     

    The Governor deemed both of my business' essential,

     

    Like Frosty, the governor declared my place of employment to be an essential manufacturing facility,

    so I am at work and am grateful that we are open.  The head guy asked if I could work from home.

    I pointed to the lab equipment I use for analytical tasks and he said" I'll see ya each morning."

    Mrs. Lew is an administrator at a local hospital.

     She gets to enjoy 6 meetings  , every day, as they are trying to plan for whatever may come this way. 

     

    We are both retiring on May 29.

     

  5. EZ pass states.  ME , NH , MA , RI , NY , PA , NJ,  OH

        WV , IN , VA , NC, KY.

    Some of these have their own "Pass" system, but have worked out

    reciprocal deals with EZ Pass system.

    My best use of EZ Pass was for the Grand Island bridge when heading to Lewiston from WV.

    When we started separating garbage a bunch of years back... Our bill went down.  Then they added garbage to Our water bill.  I take people weren't paying and they were sharing 92 gallon toters with neighbors.

     

    The bill is creeping up to where it was.  When it reaches that old number... I won't separate my garbage anymore.  It's all going in regular garbage.  This isn't about the environment.  It's about making $$$$.

     

    Don't give me a garbage bill... And I will gift wrap every piece...

     

    40 years ago... In Scouts, we had "paper drives"... Who's getting that money today off the backs of your labor?  Separating your garbage... And you're being charged a bill.

     

    We got the Big Guy talking hoaxes... Follow a garbage truck on garbage day.

     

    Our Scout troop in Lewiston did paper drives every year.  Used the funds for camping trips at Camp Northern Lights in Canada.

    We would fill a tractor trailer full of paper an magazines.  Every now and then an 'adult' magazine would be found.

    Stacking the papers was halted for a few minutes.
