    I learned a lot about tools when we were building our house, about 20 years ago.     "Can you get me the": Alan wrenches Phillips head Needle nose pliers Pipe threader Channel lock Ball pin hammer Sawsall (my husband's favorite “one tool does all” instrument of destruction) And, of course, the all important “stud finder” (you can define that as you will) 😉 Okay, okay, enough suggestions. Do you have a favorite tool that you couldn't (figuratively) live without?   What are some tools that have strange names? Just some goofy fun for this final day of the lousy 2021 year.   Let’s at least go out on a lite note! (by Primordial “No longer needs a stud finder” Soup) 😜 Btw, it’s our 37 th wedding anniversary today. What a great choice I made!   Always nice when you’ve taken the right fork in the road, with no regrets.

 New Year's Resolutions, who makes them and who keeps them? Not I, oh I have made them, seldom kept them. All the well-meaning weight reduction resolutions I have known people to make, for a few months, then back to bad habits. BUT.. for many, they are a New Year's tradition: https://www.trafalgar.com/real-word/history-new-years-resolutions/ This year I am not going to make any, other than, try to do better for my fellow humans and for the environment. As for personal improvement, how do you improve on perfection? 😏 What about you? IT was a tough 2021, and 2022 isn't gearing up to be much better, begs the question: https://hbr.org/2021/12/should-you-even-bother-with-new-years-resolutions-this-year So what are your plans for New Year's, resolutions or not?

 Okay, we're starting with zero points.  For each of the following questions (all stolen from Cosmopolitan), you can get five points.  That makes 100 points possible! (To be clear, for each one you can't say "not me, unh-UH!" you lose five points.  The closer the get to 100, the more of a loser you really are.)  Winner buys dinner. Never have I ever dressed as a furry. Never have I ever had sex in a public place Never have I ever sent a dirty text to the wrong person Never have I ever said the wrong name in bed Never have I ever had a friend with benefits Never have I ever slept with someone whose name I don't know Never have I ever been to an adult store Never have I ever had a threesome Never have I ever joined the 'mile high' club Never have I ever sent a sexy selfie Never have I ever had sex in the sea/a swimming pool Never have I ever had a one night stand Never have I ever faked an orgasm Never have I ever flashed someone Never have I ever given or r...

    Well, my iPhone 6S Plus is on its last legs.  Been a great phone and I wouldn't be getting a new phone if I didn't have to.  Poor little thing can't even update the latest ios software (says I need 2.5 GB for that).  Battery lasts only a few hours before it needs recharged.  Sorry to see this old friend go, but... Tomorrow, my iPhone 13 Pro Max is coming in.  (Damn $1218.19) 128 gigs and long lasting battery (they say).  I took screen shots of all my 6S settings in case I can't access the old data.  They will transfer a lot of stuff (iCloud) over for me.  What doesn't come over, I will re-download the app. Question: Any suggestions on possible surprises to expect and prepare for?  Any personal horror stories you can tell me?   I think I have it under control but...
