No sir.
I have heard that Duke's is the best out there, but luncheon lubricant is just not for me.

^^ I once rode my crotch rocket, while wearing sandals, up to the corner store to get some Duke's mayo. Ok. The mayo part I embellished. (see OP)

I know I’m definitely old and crotchety, but I can’t think of anyone besides my wife or my kids.
Even of the friends I’ve had for years, I say “No thanks” when they want to have a multi-day getaway.

Have you tried Duke's? I never liked Mayonnaise and I went decades without having mayonnaise in my fridge. Then, I tried Duke's and I always have Duke's on hand or on my grocery list.
Kewpie. Japanese mayo. When you need the texture and a hint of sweet for something instead of the tang.
Also, mayo the outside of a grilled cheese sandwich when using a frying pan. Super good.

if permitted,
mayo, Dukes, Miracle Whip is the devil Jazz, love it, was brought up on it, and still like it, Dull Knives,, was a butcher, know how to take care of that sandals, like Flip Flops, love them in the summer Classical, take it or leave it, wife likes it now and again,
gout, never had it but hear is sucks balls Crotch Rockets, from those I know that had them, band aids are not big enough,, and yes eventually you will need them
bats, love the little mosquito eating machines, esp like watching them in the evening at sundown zipping here and there across the lawn eating the bastards

100% agree about gout. And may I add neuropathy and arthritis to that.

Aging. "...beats the alternative." I'm not entirely convinced.
This is my daily struggle for the last thirytish years.

People who have—and express—strong opinions concerning things about which they are totally and willfully ignorant: I.e., stupidity.
There are many other things that annoy me, but I try to let that annoyance affect me as little as possible. Willful stupidity, though, is in its own special category.

Wet cardboard, touching it skeeves me out. Assisted driving tech. I know what I want and when I need it. Throwing the wheel around because the paint is hard to see is not helpful. Figuring out where the road is in a blizzard would in fact be helpful there Hal.

Don’t miss those at all. Hydrogen peroxide works pretty well as does a wet towel laid over them to moisten them to ease lifting off. You are fortunate to have children to assist.
