So true! My mother used to call herself a yankee - she saved every rubber band, twist tie, aluminum foil pieces not dirty, etc. (and so do I). Very handy to have that stuff sometimes...

It is absolutely!!!! I've always referred to that mindset as a New Englander, though. Having family from the south I've learned that pretty much anyone from north of Maryland is a Yankee! LOL!
No sh*t!

Peps, I'm certain you are achieving the rare status of simultaneous fat-loser and muscle-builder. Your gym exploits are beastly (and I mean that in the nicest possible way).

LOL re "fairly civilized looking people" vs. "ferals." I know several of those corners of the world. LOL!

Good catch! I was also surprised by all of Ocean's DS progeny. LOL!

Florida: basically in one week. We fly out of here at 8pm on Friday, February 14, and arrive around midnight and leave at 6pm on the 20th.
Off to Pub Night in a few minutes. Looking forward to music, but dreading going outside. It is 17 degrees with a 20 mile an hour wind. I've been in the house for 1.5 hours after trecking across the parking lot at work. While my face had regained feeling, my ears still hurt. Life where the weather makes your face hurt. Gotta love it.
I saw an ad for those trikes and thought genius! My Mom had a 3 wheel bike in Florida (aka an adult tricycle, it said so on the shipping box) and while it was fun and got me to the pool, you're not setting any speed records. And while I'd like to cruise about with the wind in my hair, I am hesitant to ride a 2 wheel bike for fear of falling and breaking a hip, because of my osteoporosis. But a 3 wheel much more stable, and with an electric assist ~ Zoom!!!
Also, dealing with these tedious, nonsensical, bureaucratic tasks gives new meaning to impotent rage. You are their puppet and there is nothing you can do until your tasks are finally done.
My favorite DMV story: I was waiting, armed with a book and patience. A Jimmy John's delivery poked his head in the waiting area and said Delivery for John K. I nodded with deep satisfaction, knowing we are still a nation of innovators.
