My washing machine has a device that removes buttons from my shirts and uses them to shoot holes in my socks.

The BEST bowl of cereal is the LAST one that comes out of the box. All the good stuff is in the bottom of every box.

^^^I wouldn't because my kids insist on opening everything from the bottom.

I find inventory for advertisments and displays in my spare time.

One of the things we go through a lot of are old shoes since anything newer is likely to go missing.

I traded in my old pair of moccasins and cowboy boots for a new pair of moccasins and cowboy boots last week.

Haven't had to buy any for several years and today I got paid $350 for wearing them.

Good times.

Happy birthday to Nancy Sinatra! She is 86 today.

Don’t try to talk sense into people on Nextdoor. It’s almost futile.

I gave my son my credit card, sent him to the grocery store, and he didn’t give me my card back. He’s now at Buc-ee’s in CO just south of Cheyenne, WY.

I have been banned from Nextdoor for an indefinite period of tine and told not to apply for reinstatement for at least a year.

They cited three of my posts that allegedly violated Nextdoor's community guidelines, which "prohibit posts and replies that discriminate against, attack, insult, shame, bully, or belittle others." The three offending posts that I made are

1. Ladi: Appears that Mr. Woodworth is commenting on your original post that has no context nor explanation. I have to admit that I too, am a bit confused.
   
   
2. Susan: It is against the rules to complain about the rules. LOL
   
   
3. Lauren: Don't know whether she's "fixed," but the original post says she's spayed.

I had previously been suspended for a month, for remarking that there were a bunch of snowflakes posting in a thread.

If the Nextdoor moderators saw a fraction of the stuff that parabellum (who is not a moderator) puts up with, they would have strokes and heart attacks.

I got suspended from Nextdoor recently for not using my real first name. That was pretty funny.
(They haven’t figured out yet that I don’t use my real last name either.)

Today’s event involved a discussion on “topic A” which turned to comments (not from me) about school shootings and “rapid fire machine guns.”

I pointed out that topic B (the gun stuff) was irrelevant to topic A (the original discussion), pointed out that the “gun stuff” commenter was wrong, and got called a know-it-all.

And then one of the two ninnies posted directly to the other that she had muted me.

Today’s lesson, evidently, is "when you’re told that you're wrong, simply insult people and stop listening."

They didn't like it when I identified as "Lamont Cranston" (does anybody remember that name?). I might try Polly Esther.

there was a singer in a SKA band in the 80's that went by Poly Styrene

I swear, it’s just pork chops.
