So glad you wrote that out. I have no idea how to spell it beyond the H. I'd've muffed it fer shur.

Hi Dee?
Heidy?
High D?


Some words defy all the spelling conventions. I think you nailed it.

Thank you. It was a wild guess.

Thank you. It was a wild guess.

I kind of figured nobody else would know how to spell it either, so who would argue with me? Fortune favors the bold and all that!

Home Improvement was such a good show

Home Improvement was such a good show

Is that different than HGTV? What was HGTV? I remember they had the same episode looping in a doctor's office waiting room and it was super annoying hearing for the third time about how James' new bungalow needed a new coat of paint and the pretty furniture tossed out or something like that.

Are you serious? The quoted picture is the show Home Improvement. A sitcom from the 90's that was hilarious. And way before HGTV even became a thing

Speaking of the channel HGTV, remember when the G actually stood for Garden? I am not at all a fan of 98% of the newer shows.

"We're looking to buy our first home"

"So tell me about yourself."

"I work at the local Dollar General and my spouse just got their degree in mountaintop adventure education."

"Okay. What's your budget?"

" We were hoping to keep it under $800,000."

"Here's one I found for you but it's slightly over budget at $958,000."

"We'll take it!"

Me neither (not much on worth the time anymore) but if you get a chance, you should try this show once or twice. My favorite part is the way they went to commercial breaks. As a computer geek, you might enjoy the creative way they they accomplished those particular transitions bit of entertainment way back then.

WAY different! Home Improvement - with Tim Allen. Arguably one of the BEST sitcoms on network TV!

OhMaGosh, Yeah! Getting your pant legs unsnagged from the bike chain was the worst! Mom just shook her head when the (daily delivered) newspaper showed up without a rubber band ... again. She knew I'd snagged it to ward off a bell bottom disaster!

I had forgotten all about those flair leg bell bottom pants getting stuck in my banana seat by cycle with the Harley Davidson handle bars bicycles
