Do you belong to an auto club? I was glad I did!

dragon54u @dragon54u (31634) • United States 11 May 10

On Saturday I was doing my weekly shopping, not the day I usually do--I try to do it on weekdays when I don't have to hear the screaming, miserable children throughout the store...it hurts to hear them cry so I try to avoid it....

jonesy123 No, we don't belong to an autoclub. It's not worth it. My cell company offers roadside assistance, so does my car insurance. I just dial one of those numbers. I don't have to pay yet a third party to provide that service. Glad AAA came through for you that...

Wal-mart people

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 7 Jan 10

I dropped by Wal-Mart today to pick a few things before going home from work. I was in a rush, because I had to get the kids from the babysitter's. Anyway, as I was going out, I heard a group of teenagers just outside the store...

jonesy123 It's teenagers! They have a habit of making stupid comments. Saying anything would have made no difference. They probably got a little kick out of whatever looks they got. Maybe they meant the people who work there, lol. I wouldn't have cared less. I shop...

Shame on the Republicans

valentinesdiner @valentinesdiner (1214) • United States 5 Nov 09

I appreciate the importance of standing together, but ALL the republican lawmakers are standing on the sidelines on health care and climate change legislation? Millions of Americans are thus out of the debate because they would...

jonesy123 The Republicans have not only submitted bills but also made suggestions. They followed Obama's invitation to show him how to do it better... Must be that the Democrats think it's not better, can't be better, lets best not even look at it. So what has...

jonesy123 We only occasionally buy DVDs. It's stuff we really like. We get a lot of our DVDs on loan from the library. It's free, we can keep them for at least a week, often three, and we have something new on hand, if the TV is boring;)

Bad spelling?

cmdr001 @cmdr001 (371) • Portugal 15 Sep 09

How much does it bother you that people type so poorly on the internet? It's obvious that some people aren't entirely uneducated, but, why do people insist in writing so poorly at the computer when they wouldn't do it with...

jonesy123 A lot of people don't spell check or the spell check messes up because the word used does indeed exist. If you write with your hand it's generally slower and you watch what you are doing by following your hand along. On the computer it's just quickly typed...

Do you write Thank You notes?

gitfiddleplayer @gitfiddleplayer (10362) • United States 8 May 08

jonesy123 Late 80s is when I started. My brother had bought a computer to play around with, all DOS of course and hardly any memory. Just a step up from a calculator by today's comparisons. My school offered a class for the first time in my last two years there. The...

This is the reward for conserving energy?

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 7 Jul 09

jonesy123 Same here. They are raising the rates left and right, one reason or the other. Now it's people don't use enough. Well, duh! We now have to cut back even more. Would be nice if it would just be the x% rate increase, but that affects how much we have to pay on...

Do you hang your clothes outside your house now that it is summer time?

Bebs08 @Bebs08 (10681) • United States 22 Jun 09

Bebs08 @Bebs08 (10681) • United States 14 May 08

Reuseable Grocery Bags...

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 3 Jun 09

Obama, Egypt and Israel

Zeppelin88 @Zeppelin88 (128) 3 Jun 09

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 3 Jun 09
