Somehow managing to get reservations for my family of four for the Disney Dessert Buffet on the Balcony of what was then the Disney Gallery on the second floor of the Pirates of the Caribbean to watch Fantasmic in Disneyland. As I recall there were just 12 of us there. The Disney Gallery...

Yeah, I frequent the local Cars and Coffee on Sunday morning. You see some interesting modifications that took some skill and knowledge to pull off. Chevy engine hooked to a Chrysler transmission hooked to a Ford rear end. My favorite the the guy with a Studebaker pickup with an iron as...

Several cars over the years. I think we may have had some food items that were recalled due to unlisted ingredients that could be allergens for some folks, (undisclosed dairy, wheat and nuts come to mind) but no allergies in our family so no impact. There was a huge Schwan's ice cream...

When my kids were getting braces, my employer offered optional Orthodontic Coverage. You had to keep the coverage for two years, the maximum benefit was $1,000 and the premiums over the required two years, $1,000! Yup, the coverage was no coverage. We were able to pay cash up front to get...

Yes, usually a 15% discount for cash at the three Dental practices I have used over the past 60 years. But, also Dental insurance was less common then so many people had to make installment payments for major dental work before insurance.

The receipt I posted from from an Illinois restaurant. Traveled a bit the past year and not unheard of. Seen it in California where I live, Arizona, New Mexico and Illinois.

I get this is a milk based drink, not milk. Might be confusing to some since the slang term for non-fat milk is "blue milk" and this does not appear to be non-far.

1967 were indented also. Neither were sequential, only the Thunderbird in that era had those.

And 544,000 Pintos in 1974 alone. I had one of those too and every third or fourth neighbor did too.

We remodeled two of our bathrooms, kitchen, replaced all interior and exterior doors, ripped out flooring and put in laminate (1600 square feet) and Luxury Vinyl Planking in the bathrooms. Our contractor did almost everything, and EVERYTHING was sealed off in plastic, so very little dust. He...

One thing that caught some in our group here in California when requesting separate checks was the restaurant adds an automatic 18% gratuity to split checks. Separate checks are common here, but I don't ever recall being asked if I wanted one, you had to request it. I am just back from a...

Wow, the post offices here never did photos. You had to bring your own, we always got ours done at the travel store.. That was so nice about doing it all online last year. Used my cell phone, uploaded it, framed it (after retaking it with a background the software found acceptable)...

Where I live, it is an odd mix of streets with sidewalks and without sidewalks. About 50-50. I walk 3 to 4 miles a day and the safest streets I walk are the one's without sidewalks. They are strictly residential with little if any through traffic. My street is a dead end, and has...

Interesting. All the lower income neighborhoods here have sidewalks here. Poorer areas tend to be older and 100 years ago sidewalks were the norm. I know my parents moved into a rural area, about 10 miles outside the city limits and public transit because the cost of housing was so much...

LOL. How people ride the bus and do grocery shopping has always baffled me. My daughter lived in the U.K. for a year going to school and rode public transit a lot, but she always got a car service (Easy Car I think was the name, like Uber, but MUCH cheaper) for the ride home from the store...

Yeah, my mechanic advises staying away from any ecoboost engine. My 2018 had ecoboast as an option, I have a non-ecoboost engine. I forgot about premium fuel. I rented an Expedition last week and put 1,100 miles on it with an ecoboost 3.5 V6 but nowhere did it say premium fuel. Ran fine...

Champagne Beige. A 1965 only color, available on all Ford models that year, not just the Mustang. But the second rarest color of 1965 on a Mustang.

Lowest price, yes. Adds up when you are buying 6,500 desktops at once. While our corporate folks made the decision, our IT guys were baffled as both used the same components.

Oh how I wish my company had stuck with Dell. Before I retired they switch to HP because they could save a few bucks. The failure rate in the first few months are unbelievable. All warranty, but still a hassle. I did buy a new Dell desktop at home last year, but I reused my old keyboard...

Yes, 24 weeks is the standard now. No such standard when my wife and I cruised on RCCL in 1986 when she was 26-27 weeks along with our first child. Both her OB GYN and PCP had no issue with her cruising (other than the OB GYN "volunteering" to come along). Cruise line never asked...
