Again, stepping off your lawn.
Here's me on my lawn with my older brother and sister. I'm sure I had a little butch wax going on there.

You may join me on the lawn anytime!

They worked better when you ran them under cold water for a second top and bottom. I have to say the plastic ones that you twist are much better.

Not so here. Black oil sunflower is getting pricey. The seed store owner was just showing me his invoice last week when I bought a 40lb bag. I think he was worried I'd stop buying it from him.

I had PF Flyers. "Run faster and jump higher."

...Or you lost a piece of your fingertip trying to pry the lever up with a kitchen utensil. True story, and I've got the scar to prove it.....

The info about this being Marilyn on that site is incorrect. This is indeed Theda. The pic is a publicity promo for the movie Cleopatra which was shot in 1917. She was quite the "vamp" (anyone remember this term?) for her day. Grrr! I would certainly "come hither"...and "thither" and "yon" to boot!

#whippersnappers don't get to do the highly rigorous experiment of putting one tray full of COLD water, and one of HOT, and see which one freezes solid first.

Nor testing to see: is the water frozen all the way through, or do you need to wait another 10 minutes to have a solid cube.

Nope, just walk up to the fridge, press your glass against the lever and out comes . . . wtf? DAAAAD, the ice is broken!!!!!
