I carry the right amount or maybe more just in case of emergency you never know.

That's right, it is good to have on hand.

If I plan on going out to a restaurant to eat with other people, like I've done in the past several years, then I carry lots of dollars so that I can pay for my entree.

Yes, that is always an option, but you must be aware of how much money is left on it so that you don't overdraw.

I know... When I was a student at Cal State Northridge, I always paid for my meals with cash. Sometimes I would see people paying with credit cards or debit cards, and that would often take a while because they would need to sign a receipt and that would take a little while longer. And when the person in front of me was doing that, I would sometimes grow impatient, especially when I had less than 30 minutes before I needed to get to a class.

I can relate. I am especially good at figuring out/remembering days of the week.

For example, in May of 1990 I competed in a spelling bee at school, but for some reason I'd forgotten what day it was. I did remember that it was a Thursday, and there were five Thursdays in the month of May that year. By process of elimination, I figured out that it was on the 17th.

I didn't think so. In fact, neither man was actually a "movie star"; Ritter was primarily a TV actor (he was best known as the male star of "Three's Company" and he later starred in "Eight Simple Rules", which he was actually filming on the night he died), and Cash was a musician (although he might've done some acting).

Very much so. But again, it depends on the type of appliance, and whether it is repairable or not.

That's another thing. We've gone through maybe 3 washer-and-dryer sets. The one we had when we moved into this house, it broke down in June 2004, so we replaced it. That new set bit the dust in March 2009 (not quite five total years). So the set we have now is 2 1/2 years old; I just hope it can last past 2014.

Written By: nally on 10/19/11 at 12:23 pm

We have ceiling fans, but we haven't used them in ages. Possibly because we had air conditioning installed in our home in 2005. At first we didn't think we'd need it, given that we live in a nice climate; we often opened up the windows and used our ceiling fans to circulate the air. But after a brutal heat wave in the summer of 2004, we became convinced that we needed A.C. So we had it installed and it has been an asset to our home.

The same with us.

It doesn't get too hot this close to the ocean, where we live, but when it does, then we turn on the AC. It usually never gets hotter than 95°F where I am.

I can relate...I had to deal with it several times in my old neighborhood. Even where I currently live, some neighbors will turn up the noise so that everyone can hear it, not caring about anyone other than themselves. It's annoying. It does eventually get turned off, though.
