   My local paper was bought by a leftist organization called Lee Enterprise. The first thing they did was quaduple the price (>$100/month). Then they started getting the “news” from other businesses/papers they owned, rather than locally. Then the erratic delivery others here mention, started. I tried to stick-it-out for a short while but it got to be too much. I went to their digital only version (holding my nose at most of their so-called journalism from places like California) but even now it costs most than the print version used to cost 2-years ago!

   My fathers first car was a 1964 AMC Rambler and it had vacuum powered wipers.

   Nope. Ever since my security cameras caught deer coming through our yard area looking for food, we occasionally put out corn for them. A couple of years ago, a 2-very newborn fawn showed up on our front porch. After a couple of days of them hanging around, we took them to a place where they could be taken care of.

   Tried both lithium and axle grease. They still made it up the pole.

   Just before I read this, I had gone outside to cover the corn we leave for deer. If I don’t, the squirrels (I think it is one, particularly FAT squirrel I almost grabbed by the tail before he waddled off) will eat it all!

   I’ve always tried to fix things that were not outside of my general skill-set. Took 2-years of electronics in high school (50+ years ago) and used to repair TV’s by going to the nearby 7-11 store and using their vacuum tube tester and buying replacements from their “most commonly used” tubes stock! Now I watch YouTube videos to show me how to replace my cars headlights!

   Nobody noticed the typo/missing word “THAT REALLY MAKES (ME) SOMEBODY!”

   I can relate. We don’t have any pets but we help feed the neighbors cats (the wife thought it would help to keep the cats away from the bird feeders) so I do look for cat food coupons when shopping.

   Our roles are reversed – I am the one hiding the Halloween candy from the wife since she has NO willpower!

    I could not agree more! Recently I came downstairs to find the wife had rearranged the kitchen. Considering that I do 90% of the cooking, this has been disasterous! 6-months later and I am still hunting for stuff that I used to use all-the-time but now can’t find!
