The worst is when you loan something and they bring it back and say “sorry, it broke.” I wasn’t brought up that way. If I borrow something and I break it, I fix or replace it. It’s to the point that I’d rather just go over and do it so I don’t have to loan stuff out and have it get ruined or not returned....I've lost some good stuff because of lending...to the point that I don't like to at all. Hubby thinks it makes me a jerk. I think it lets me keep stuff I paid for, use, and appreciate having.
That's happening a lot more lately. So I set up a hearing test this past week. Yea, I do have a slight loss of hearing but am still within acceptable range. My heaviest "What?" times are when there is a lot of background noise. The part that I am losing now is the high pitched sounds like women's voices. That's what I get for living with three women all those years. And they thought I didn't listen. I didn't, but now, at least I can just say, sorry I have a bit of a hearing loss.
The funny thing about living in Baltimore is all of the sudden realizing people have accents when they say specific words. My dad has a very slight one that comes out when he tells you to "go warsh the dishes in the zinc with wooter". Oh, and if you go to Ocean City, you go "down the ocean."I grew up on LI and left when I got drafted and have lived in the south ever since and lost the NY accent, going back for visits I never realized the accent I used to have. Hearing my nephews speak it's like being in the series Sopranos.
I never think I have an accent until I talk to one of my friends who isn't from the Boston area.The funny thing about living in Baltimore is all of the sudden realizing people have accents when they say specific words.

I have more of a Harford County drawl for some reason. I can only figure it's because I'm like 10 minutes from Harford County and that's where my mom grew up. Every now and then it gets pointed out to me. When I talk to people from out of state, I have to remind myself that "Maryland" has three syllables, not two.![]()
About one year ago Hostess started selling Twinkies breakfast cereal. I've never tried it, however cereal with milk is good anytime of the day. It's inexpensive and great to eat while watching TV.

That's a rather small bowl he has thereNever heard of that one. Do they still make it? Would be interested to try once.
When I was a kiddo I used to eat a mixing bowl (no joke) full of Frosted Flakes, like Jethro Bodine used to eat Corn Flakes, every night before bed...!!!!!
