Thank you! I do too! Have you ever been to Europe? So many of the bigger cities have canals and the boat tours are a great way to see a lot of old historic architecture.

I've been to Ireland and seen castles. Also saw other old architecture over there as well--loved it.

Something similar started to happen a few years ago in my country. Food, books and medicines are not taxed. But some chains found a way to leech money for taxes by charging even when they shouldn't be.
Aka they count the food sold as "packaged imported food".
Our tax is 16% country wide for everything.
Except when importing chinese junk like clothes. Which have a markup of 300% because of dumping and bad quality/chemicals.

Sympathy like.

You are not the first one to say that. Am I in the minority? I personally do not want to put down my pencil....pick up the rectangular eraser...use it....then pick my pencil back up again. Yet I go through my favorite pencils fast. Hmmm....maybe I should change my preference????

I always preferred the erasers on the pencils for the same reason as you.

It's even more relaxing if you just buy it. Here's a house brand from a supermarket in my area--

Seriously? Dairy

I like the bigger, stand-alone erasers, not the ones on top of pencils. The big one will last me close to a lifetime, as I so rarely make a mistake that I need to erase . . .

Cough, spit, er, um Weather talk ring a bell

But you just said you were making yogurt at home!!! I give up.

 

[Figgy1]

But, you already have a sewing machine, and I think you got it for Christmas, maybe 2 years ago?

But, but, but. It's purty, faster and bigger

But you just said you were making yogurt at home!!! I give up.

As I said I'm making it!

It's 2:22 am. But yes, it's hot and miserable. It's finally starting to cool down a little....I opened all the windows in the house. I'm heading to bed now. I'm only working evenings in the vacation when DH can be home with the kids, so I can sleep in in the morning. I just finished my upteenth bottle of water, so it's bedtime.

Sympathy like.

Ha! My Dog sure thinks so! (He won't move out of the doorway, unless I address him as "His Royal Highness"

As you should

The alligator actually seemed pretty chill about it...

I did try and avoid having my kids touching those screens. I have become a slight germaphobe though.

I only touched them the first time we went through the queue, out of curiosity. After that I just walked by...

 

[CoreNovawarAMM]

It is, but I'm wearing oversized sunglasses and a particularly sour expression, so they'd be hard pressed to recognize me.

I've had these people text/call multiple times and I tell them they have the wrong number, and then they do it again...and again...finally got fed up and had to show them I'm definitely not the Droid they're looking for.

You could block the number...then they’ll never bother you again.

 

[CoreNovawarAMM]

I can only block a certain amount of numbers with Verizon. Once I reach the limit then other blocked numbers get unblocked.

Ooh, that’s nasty. I don’t know if I have a limit (with AT&T), but I haven’t had to block very many numbers, fortunately.

 

[CoreNovawarAMM]

Wow. Those are some awesome photos you took!!

Thank you!

I like the bigger, stand-alone erasers, not the ones on top of pencils. The big one will last me close to a lifetime, as I so rarely make a mistake that I need to erase . . .

I saw a jumbo eraser in an antique shop in Cushing, OK...an eraser roughly the size and weight of a brick.

 

[CoreNovawarAMM]

Just a thought...I like this thread so much!
