The Old Folks Home

[Bunnylady]

When the old BYC changed to this format, I pretty much stopped posting/reading posts. I had remained in my state thread, that was it. Wisher had the bright idea to send me a link to this thread and invite me back. Honestly, those two threads are it on here, for me. I don't want to explore, and I hate most new formatting.

Cell phones drive me crazy, too. I can't figure out how to use most of it - still don't understand widget versus app and have a mild panic attack when people try to explain it to me. I DON'T CARE.

As soon as I get comfortable with my cell phones features, it breaks and I have to get a new one. Seems like every time manufacturers come out with the next version of a phone they change things just to change things so it seems new. My phone 3 phones ago had the power button on the upper right and the volume on the upper left. The next phone had them switched. I got this phone and could not locate the power button. Anywhere.

Turns out someone put it on the back of the phone (maybe they were out of options for "new and fresh redesign"??) where it masquerades as part of the camera.

I can't wait to see where the next phone puts it.

Wasn't it Bill Cosby who said his father worked for an auto manufacturer, and his job was finding new places to put the hood latch?

Some people embrace change, my reaction is more like, "*sigh* Now what?!"

My son can hardly wait to "test drive" a new device; I cling to the old one, nursing it along through many idiosyncrasies until it finally gives up the ghost.

I love the memes of them hooked to gas generators to charge them

Just made a loaf of no knead crusty artisan bread. Very easy and simple.https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...gg_MAo&usg=AFQjCNF-ZHUahrgrgdLGXcfAiY0XVS7Klw

The wolves made short work of it. Left me a small piece. Think I'll split it and toss a couple sloppy eggs on it.

I have to admit, I miss the streakers of the 70s and 80s. Though I still have no idea what point they were trying to make, I do enjoy watching youtube vids of them running onto a baseball field or football pitch. Hilarious.

@chickadoodles I use Thuricide on my cabbage and broccoli for cabbage loopers. Will not affect honeybees ladybugs earthworms etc. Couldn't find it last yr, feed store that usually has it didn't. But TSC had Organic Garden Safe worm and caterpillar killer. Didn't say anywhere in the instructions what exactly it was like the thuricide brand does but the active ingredient was the same. Just a short life bacteria that disrupts the caterpillars digestive system and kills them. Safe to use up to say of harvest.

Thanks Beer can but if I have to use chemicals on my garden then it's no different than what I could buy in the store.

Scg and Bunnylady I agree with sticking to the old phones and stuff as long as I can! It takes me forever to learn to use something new and sometimes I get so frustrated that I give it away!

Quote: I do love these little memes! I can see this happening!

Nice looking bread Beer can.

Why on Earth people purchase and operate vehicles or death traps such as the one in that pic on the highways is nothing but pure, unadulterated Darwinism. Do these people ever consider head on crashes, especially with semi trucks? This is not a progressive move forward imo. Utter stupidity.
