I'm so old I Remember when:

[Smoked Brisket]

I told everyone around Y2K that "I want a place in the country, off the grid, free flowing well, 2 acre garden and livestock."
"Not for Y2K, I just always wanted that."

Me too. And now, the young body and strength to be able to manage it.

I baited you, didn't I? Well, dogs have a highly developed sense of smell, we all know that. And sometimes they get into things they shouldn't. But spanking isn't the answer, and nor is yelling. And you can't always keep everything up out of reach. So, repellants can work well. Does your puppy chew your slippers or your tennis shoes? How about furniture legs, oh no! Or just about anything else you don't want him to chew. Put a little dab of Vicks on it and watch him decide that, gag, THAT's no longer a yummy chew toy! The best use I ever found for it was a disabled lady's oxygen line! A little dab every foot or so cured him forever.

So no, this doesn't help with basic obedience, but it can help with a common behavior problem.

There's a reason my cooking utensils are metal end-to-end. Vicks probably wouldn't seep into them but it might change the flavor of whatever I'm cooking.

This is a little different so bare with me.
Take 9 min and some Kleenex and watch the music video that is worth the 50 year wait. IMHO

Lovely find. Thank you for sharing.

We had just started using new computers at work (nights).
Everyone was worried about what would happen if they crashed.
I pointed out that they crashed every couple days anyway so I wasn't sure what the problem was.

And now any computer that isn't Y2K38 compliant is going to have issues at some point, so there's that. Won't be as big of a deal since a good chunk of that stuff isn't going to be used that much anymore.

Her phone number is *redacted*. I have that memorized.

Oddly enough, I remember my parents' phone number form the home I grew up in - because you had to actually dial each and every number to connect - but could not tell you anyone's cell number - not relatives, not friends, not work. Just a name on a screen that fits in the palm of my hand.

I made it a point to dial in the phone number of a cousin that I call almost every week. Doing that made certain I memorized it.
