Yuck! Easter is for pretty spring outfits not boots and flannel!

I know, we don't have many nice Easter's.

 

[betty rose]

does it have to smell the same? x_x

Yes, to be authentic.

Started with three on the tree, then to four on the floor, then to five on the floor (overdrive) and in there at random a few automatics. Then when I drove truck it was 15 on the floor (Yup, a double clutching fool was I) then many years with automatics again. When my bus driving career started I was amazed the just like they were in the very early 60's, it was push button automatics just like the old Chrysler products. I'm afraid that my current Cadillac does not have anything available other then automatic. I'll live with that.

Hahaaa...!
I remember the old Chrysler push-button automatics!
My first cars were automatics, but, I drove 3 sticks for over 25 years in between, until my most recent ride.
The first one was a new '88 Hyundai. I taught DWifey to drive stick in that car. Then, we bought a new '90 Jeep Cherokee, also stick, that DWifey drove for over a decade, until we bought a '01 Caravan in '02. Both that and the '10 Camry that she now drives were/are automatic. I drove an '01 5-speed stick Hyundai until about a year ago. DWifey is still proficient at both.
Better mileage, and lower price, but, a PITA driving in heavy traffic and on hilly roads. I don't miss that part.

We have some that aren't great and we even have some super nice ones. Have you thought about moving?

I use my clock on my left.

We have, but we love being near our daughter and grandsons , although we haven't been able to see them much this winter.

Just so you know, Easter (this year) is the earliest it's ever been since the 1800s. It's just particularly early this year, so your usual spring weather may not quite be here yet.

Edit: Found an Easter Sundey on March 27 in 1785, but also there was one in 1932, if my (online) source is correct. It was my sister who mentioned the 1800s to me today on the phone, but I just looked it up and couldn't find March 27 during the 1800s.

We have so many hills, a stick isn't practical , but I learned on a stick, in high school.

Everything seems early as far as the calendar goes. I can't believe it's the first day of spring. Time is flying. We are going to Disney in 66 days.

Yep, I plan on goin' with automatics from here on out, but, I like knowing both.

Wristwatch . Your welcome

Can't be doing with auto's . need three pedals for a real car

 

[StarWarsGirl]

It's called a watch. If it is worn anywhere else besides your wrist, then you would clarify. For example, if you have a watch that you keep in your pocket, you'd call it a pocket watch. You'd also look like a train conductor

 

[donaldtoo]

I'm looking forward to that one. Last time the kids were so young and while they understood quite a bit of English, they are both much better speakers now. It would be fun if they were able to interact this time.

Yep, they should really enjoy it this trip, then...!

Watching A Bugs Life on Freeform.
Next up, The Jungle Book (animated from '67), and then Ratatouille...!

Me too, but I need a refresher course by now!

 

[donaldtoo]

Huh....I've probably inadvertently offended people then, just because I forget to hit "like" most of the time. And I don't pay attention to my own posts to see who "liked" it. I post and then scroll on. It just isn't really on my radar.

Mine neither. They happen or they don't. I think it started as an FB thing, and I've never had an FB account.

 

[Songbird76]

So, you can apparently make the Dancing with Gazelle video from Zootopia. Dancingwithgazelle.com

Hrmmm....to tell my kids about this or not...on one hand, they'd have a ball with it. On the other, I'd have to listen to Shakira, whose voice I can not stand. Maybe if I make them wear headphones...or take the tablet into one of their rooms.

Especially when Easter falls so early in the year!!

Wait, what?
