   There are people we are friends with – we just do not discuss politics to remain friends.

   Having grown up in NY – note that he did not carry his home state and has never been elected to anything locally – the people who know him for decades should know him the best. (And I can’t repeat what my late dad used to say about him.)

   I still remember the telephone number my parents had when I was a kid in the 1950s. (We moved after to another county and got a new phone number which my 95yo mom still has – as her cell phone number.)

   We bought a package of Chicken and a package of chopped turkey two days ago. My husband has been checking them every day to see if the “use or freeze by” is “today”.

   The chicken has to be frozen tomorrow (I guess it after midnight, so tonight); the chopped turkey has an extra 2 days.

   That sounds like a saying husband and I have had for decades – “Nothing is so bad that cannot be worse tomorrow – and probably will be.”

   I still get our regional paper in print. I prefer to read same – having grown up same – and find it stays in my head better than reading online.

   Having said that – I read the paper online after Covid started – online included with print version and have recently gone back to reading the print version. Much easier to read and follow than reading it online.

   Husband and I both have trouble with scents and use the battery candles mostly.

   I have small votive candles that I use for the annual days each year that I have to leave a candle lit in memory of my dad who died a couple of decades ago as I do not like leave a candle burning while sleeping or out of the house and the candle has to be lit continuously for 24 hours (strictly speaking it is has to be a real candle, but I am sure dad and who is with understand the fire hazard).

   Also have some larger ones for blackouts, as well as some real candles for same also.

   We have always had limited minutes on our home phone, but it is relatively rare for us to make phone calls in general even back when it was our only phone.

   Now we have that a cell phone each and and an online number we still keep the home phone. We make outgoing calls on my cell phone as it has unlimited minutes (use for work). We generally give out our home landline for incoming calls. Husband has limited minutes both ways on his phone.

   Between us when we need to communicate – say I am in the kitchen and he is upstairs in our office or I am at my embroidery meeting and he is home and can’t find something – we text. Tonight we had an online meeting for our reenactment unit and we gave up long ago trying to both sit in our office together for same, so I was in the kitchen and he was in our office and we text between us if we need to discuss anything.

    Was this in the 1970s/early 80s that you saw that Superman? A friend from college worked for DC from after college to retirement and including writing and management and it sounds like something he would write into a comic.

    He wrote my husband into the first (or very early) Manbat as the villain.
