Let us know if you're ever in Dayton again.

Definitely will. Would have done it last time but I wasn't sure how much free time I was going to have.

Who still has a land line telephone?

A few years ago, we investigated who called us on our land line phone over a period of about 6 months. The only person who called us on that line was my brother and the rest was marketing calls. We dumped it immediately and haven't missed it for a minute.

Ditto. We moved into a new house in 2006, and thought we would just not turn on the new phone until we missed it. We have not missed it once!

I have a land line, still, because… it costs $1.76 extra (taxes included) on my Internet package.

I'll drop it at some point. At least it still never drops calls.

I still have a land line as well.  The kids use it mostly.

The wife also wants it for when we (both of us) are gone, so the kids would still be able to call someone.

That's a bit morbid... :-)

We still have one.  Somehow we live in a cellular dead zone.  I have no idea why, we're in the middle of a standard, densely populated Southern California, neighborhood, but our little pocket is dead.  So we pretty much have to have a landline, and since it's dirt cheap, it's no big deal.  (We use Vonage)

You should get one of those little AT&T; things that plug into your home Internet.

IIRC they don't even use minutes (if you have a plan that still cares about minutes).

After marathon negotiations, Ukraine and Russia have come to an agreement on a ceasefire.

OK that's great, but why wait until midnight Saturday? Why not, you know . . . today?

Tactical Nukes. Pure speculation as usual on my part, but that was/is getting nasty. Anyway, they all have the older iphones and it just takes a while to communicate across all those foxholes.

It takes a while to send out coded messengers on their horses.

I got the call yesterday that a possum had taken up residence in my mother-in-law's garage. My wife tried to scare it away with a weed whacker with no success. I almost peed my pants laughing when she told me this. I went over and pulled all the boxes it was hiding behind away and shooed on it's way. Afterwards I thought, "I should have made it some friends with C4 and blasted it to oblivion."

[trickyputt]

My wife brings home deer with her porsche. The car has a unique exhaust and they hear it coming. They want her to feed them corn, but havent quite made it inside the garage yet. She feeds them out back.

Just bought a 2015 Toyota Highlander. Sweet ride. Apparently it's "Creme Brûlée", but it looks like silver to me.
