Many moons ago in a place called the south the first Piggly Wiggly Store in Memphis, Tennessee opened. It was the first to have a supermarket layout where the public picked out what the wanted instead of the cashier getting what they wanted. They found out shortly after that if they wanted to...

At this stage of my live I honestly believe that if I didn't have a car, it would be like missing an important organ that has kept me alive for years and years and I would have no motivation to continue or get better from illness or physical problems. I had never lived in a big city. Even the...

I would have thought that you could at least afford mustard!

True and that comes under HIPAA because that is specific information that can be traced. How often would that apply to a big city. It also becomes somewhat of a gray area because, with your example about the lost leg, if the person that receives that information knows who they are talking about...

As far as my personal vehicle before I retired it averaged about 20K on my personal vehicle. However, I was a city bus driver during that time as well and I would guess that was probably close to 100K per year. Now in retirement I still manage about 8.6K over the last 5 years. Of all the things...

It is my understanding that HIPAA is to protect "individuals" from others knowing about their physical problems. Unless names are used the war stories are just scenarios about events not identifying a specific individual and not a violation. There is a huge difference between that and giving out...

That's the secret, if one goes to all the effort to go to either Montreal or Quebec City go to the finer Hotels. There are many in downtown Montreal (I think that the Queen E is the best) but for Quebec City the real romantic experience can only be found at the Château Frontenac. Our room was in...

Man that was annoying wasn't it?

Strong like bull! Had the normal, for the time, childhood things like mumps, measles and chicken pox. Was able to get the Polio Vaccine before it got to be a thing up in the area where I lived at the time. I did have to get my tonsils removed (another common things in that time) but other than...

Avoiding bankruptcy!

Not to long ago I was watching TV and an ad came on for (I forget the name) but it was for a credit card size item that if you held you two thumbs on each side it would tell you what your heart was doing. The "salesman" was a more mature, gray haired guy that rode around on a bus randomly...

Weird, but I never thought about that. The answer is no! We stayed in the Château Frontenac in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. Beautiful place right at the mouth of the St. Lawrence River. At that time in 1972 (52 years ago if you're counting) I almost had to sell my soul to be able to afford three...

Elenore Rigby... The Beatles Actually, almost every song the Beatles ever did was a musical story telling experience. Far more entertaining then todays repeat the same obscene word over and over that must take a lot of talent to do, don't you think? Must be awful trying to remember the...

She's Leaving Home.... The Beatles

Compared to many I have either done more or a lot less world travel. When in college I went to Europe on a school sponsored, for credit, trip covering spots in Portugal, Spain, Italy, France and England. The the US government sent me to South Vietnam and while there I also went to Japan (Osaka...

I can only go by my own experience about September. I went once in early September and once in late September. There was a drastic difference between the two both in weather and in years. The first one (sometime in the 1990's was like the surface of the sun. Hot and Humid but although...

Show of hands!!!! How many do not have a clue what that meme is about?

A set of pliers is what actually was the first picture. There were two sets of pliers in the second one. Or a pair of plier sets.
