Truism – never shop with an empty stomach. Especially a person with no shopping list to stick to. I will add stuff, if it is a good sale item and what I normally buy.
I would never take a car into NYC – again. Terrible traffic and this was in 1965. I have been there a few years ago – a traffic zoo. [I came on a ship and left on a train.]
I have taken an empty stomach one for many years, I automatically wake-up at least once a night. There have probably been less than 10 times I have taken it first thing in the morning. Habit is too ingrained.
I don’t remember any extra days off other than 2 days for Thanksgiving, Christmas was from the day Dec 24-Jan 2nd. No spring break but Good Friday and Easter Monday. We got out of school during the last week of May – but didn’t start school until the Tuesday after Labor Day – so 3 solid months off. This was in Michigan in the 50s and 60s – there were no Monday holidays and I really don’t remember if we got either Washington’s or Lincoln’s Birthday off – probably not. The kids here in Florida start in mid-August and end in first full week of June. Are those both the same amount of school days – I have no idea.
Stephan, you are not old, I’m old. When they made a big deal when he died – I said – “Who?” He was after my radio listening days, I had not a clue who this singer was. A single?? part of a band?? – So, no clue how really old you are – or Rat accuses you of being. LOL
Weird, funny dreams are the best. It’s the ones that when you wake-up that you were glad you were asleep and not living it – the unsettling ones.
