A discussion I just responded to reminded me of this... A couple of months ago, my old cellphones were having issues. So I thought, maybe it's time to buy a new one. I picked out the phone. I'm buying only from...

moirai Yeah. My feeling really is that someone, somewhere along that chain that a parcel goes through, took it for whatever reason. Maybe for themselves, or perhaps to sell elsewhere and make money off it. Surely (hopefully), the store has insurance on the package...

How often do you do online shopping? For me, it was almost last year that I had bought anything. More than 12 months now. What's your average duration of online shopping?

moirai Let me see... My app says my purchase history is as follows: I bought 1. A basic phone in Sep 2022, 2. A money detector for the store in Dec 2022, 3. A replacement UV lamp for #2, plus a keychain money detector (to compare it with #2) in Mar 2023, and 4....

I don’t want to sound condescending, but I’ve been caught a few times assuming people in other countries know a phrase or saying that is familiar to me, only to find out it’s not known in their country. So how about going home...

moirai I'm familiar with cold shoulder, but I think this is the first time I'm hearing of hot tongue. And it follows that I've never heard of the combined phrase. You learn something new everyday! Thanks.

Yesterday morning, I was watching the news, and it was talking about Dollar Tree, and prices going up. They are already 1.25, and the news stated that some items could reach as how as seven dollars. Looks like prices continue to...

Ber Hur was way too long for my taste now. I started to think about other long movies that I have watched more than once and I think that I would prefer several others. My truly favorite as long movies go is Gone with the wind....

moirai Hmm... I'm not well-versed on old movies, and I think I haven't really seen many movies lately but... How long are those movies with intermissions? Because some of the more recent (by recent I guess I mean last decade or two maybe...) can go for 3 or 4 hours...

moirai Sadly, I haven't been able to read books recently. It's probably been years since I've read a book. Though I have a tab on my browser here that's perpetually on Open Library. So... the desire is there, but I haven't gotten around to actually...

I’m not sure what mine would say, but it would probably be nice, and also funny. I saw this sign picture the other day, and I had a good laugh. What do you think you’d choose, if you were to actually have a sign?

moirai By "doing their business" I take it you mean like doing toilet stuff right? Don't bats sleep upside down? So... why would they "do business" while 'in bed'? I mean... people don't usually do toilet stuff while in bed... at least not on purpose... I hope......

moirai I have to confess I am a bit of a hoarder myself... But you never know. Sometimes you find uses for stuff you otherwise would have thrown away. Reduce, reuse, recycle.
