"How can you miss something you've never had," said a character in a movie. "YES." I yelled rather loudly. If things work well enough I don't need to waste time and get frustrated trying to increase performance. I don't need to talk to my tablet to change television station. I can push the button on the remote and God knows I can use the exercise.
I remember when you had to walk to the television to change the station.
Many times it simply wasn't worth the effort and people found other forms of entertainment like reading or talking.
The first computer I used ran Windows 95. The Dell we bought last December runs Windows 8. In eight months I've never used it like a tablet as designed. I have it configured to run like an old school desk top. I tell myself I'll spend some time learning all about the new system.
I've penned November 20, 2016 from 10 to 10:45 in on my calendar.
Wanda is talking about retiring at the end of next year. Now that is a major life decision. We will finally reach the deadline on those things to take care of. No, not me organizing baseball cards, but the very important choices. We need to reinvest our nest egg, decide what to do with the house and everything in it and secure our final arrangements.
I agonize over my dinner choice damn near every day and I'm expected to know how I want to spend eternity.
I don't know how to plan for something when I don't know what that something is. Although I am leaving some wiggle room I'm relatively certain of my eventual finale. It is the journey getting there I'm unsure of.
Thanks to two California companies, Los Angeles residents can now have alcohol and clean clothes delivered to their doors by models in their skivvies.
A joint effort by alcohol delivery app Saucey and underwear dealer MeUndies has resulted in a week-long promotion that will allow individuals to order Sleepover Packs.
After placing an order, customers will receive their alcohol of choice, mixers, clean underwear, new socks, a shirt and sunglasses within 20 minutes. The packs will also include hangover-fighting vitamins.
In an effort to make the service really get off on right foot, customers who order on the first day of business between 4 and 9 p.m. will have their pack delivered by a real-life underwear model.
The basic packs retail from $40 to $100 and all fees are included, even the tip.
For the special price of $175 customers will receive a body fluid testing kit, a Rubin, pastrami on rye or a veggie burger, potato salad or coleslaw, chips and half-a-dozen extra hefty condoms.......and kids are going hungry.
A West Virginia woman who slapped her sister in the head with a spatula from an outdoor grill is facing a felony malicious wounding charge. Stephanie Flatt was taken into custody after the fight with her sister.
When sheriff's deputies responded they found the suspect and her sister spattered with blood. According to Flatt's sister, the 24-year-old spit on her and shoved her after they got into an argument.
Flatt's sister Sundae said. "We had went to the store together and she started raging about ground round was better then ground beef. Now I like a fatty burger but she's older and thinks she knows best. When we got home I called her a bitch a few times. We started cooking on the BBQ that's when she let me have it."
Both combatants tumbled to the ground and then "Flatt began hitting her on the head with the spatula."
The sisters' mother stepped into the middle of the fight, confiscated the spatula and threw it into weeds that were growing across the road. The mother was heard to say, "Fine young ladies do not fight over hamburgers. Now go get me a beer and my smokes."
Flatt's sister was brought to the hospital with a scalp laceration. She also had a bite mark on her finger.
After a DUI stop an ex-NHL player told police he was "baffled" when they found 1.3 grams of cocaine in the pocket of his pants.
"I asked where it came from," officer Andrew Visser wrote in his incident report. "And he said he was just shocked."
According to the 34-year-old, he had been wearing the same jeans for three days and had no idea how the drugs ended up on his person.
"I haven't had these off to even take a shower in at least 72 hours. I was on my way to the laundromat. Are you sure that's cocaine and not detergent?"
The ex-player had an elevated blood alcohol reading and was booked for DUI.
A 22-year-old North Carolina man was arrested after he stole a safe from a pharmacy dragged it behind his car and passed an officer while he was driving.
Ryan Mulligan took the safe from Family Care Pharmacy and dragged it for more than two miles before the officer saw him.
Individuals near the pharmacy reportedly saw Mulligan's vehicle parked outside with the safe nearby.
"You could just tell he was messing with something and having a struggle," witness Carmen Flicker told local news. "A lot of things crossed through my mind as to what could possibly be going on and none of them were good. But I never expected to see him pull a safe with the rope. It was strange."
Mulligan is charged with felony breaking and entering, larceny, possession of stolen goods, two felony counts of trafficking opium or heroin, one count of safe cracking and misdemeanor DWI.
The 100-pound safe reportedly contained prescription drugs.
He may be resourceful but that doesn't mean he's intelligent.....I would have used the toilets.
A 14-year-old Texas teen was able to spend four days in a Walmart without being detected after building himself two hiding spaces. He put one in the baby aisle and the other hide-out was behind stacks of paper towels and toilet paper.
"You never expect that you're at Walmart and someone has been living there for four days. That's crazy," Walmart customer Myrna Alagar told WDZ TV.
The boy was able survive off of food he stole from the store and guzzle juice via a hole he cracked in the back wall of the drink aisle. He even had a makeshift bed and a pet fish he called Todd.
In order to avoid being noticed when he was in plain sight, the boy would change his clothes periodically. He also wore diapers to avoid using the restroom at the store.
Trash eventually led to the boy being discovered, but he was released into the custody of relatives and Walmart does not plan on filing charges.
An "extremely intoxicated" Washington woman was arrested after she performed lewd acts with a Seattle family's lawn chairs.
The 33-year-old woman wandered into the family's yard and began urinating. After she was finished, the suspect allegedly "hiked up her dress and engaged in an intimate act with several lawn chairs."
As multiple family members looked on, the woman began "quite purposefully exposing her genitalia, and then posterior, to the family inside the home."
Emergency dispatchers were called and police arrived to arrest the woman.
She was charged with indecent exposure because her behavior was deemed serious enough to cause "a person to reasonably experience fear, alarm or concern."
"I'll say we were scared and more than a little concerned," said homeowner Sally LaTour. Those were my mother's Adirondack chairs. I was afraid she would get splinters and sue us. Thank goodness we don't have garden gnomes. I shudder to think what she would have done with them."
