I remember going to see "The Towering Inferno" in a theater when I was a kid.
Do you buy vinyl records anymore? If so, are they for playing, or showing and collecting?

Re: New Answer/Ask thread
What are you even talking about? How could I answer my own question when I wanted to know if any of youse were planning or thinking about a car trip? And if your answer was that you weren't planning a car trip, you shouldn't have even answered in the first place, which you only did by back-editing your post after the fact. You were simply looking to bust my balls. And you kinda did the same thing with my bookshelf question from a few days or weeks ago. If you don't save your books on bookshelves, that's fine -- but you shouldn't have answered that question either.MFS62 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 28, 2024 10:00 am I exited my post to find the link to the other thread. By the time I got back to it you had already responded. It took less than one minute.
You still asked the question about car trips and then answered it yourself.
And that is not how this thread is supposed to work.
You should let someone else answer your question. You already know the answer to your own question, don't you? The idea is to see how others answer it.
Read the other posts and maybe you'll understand.
If you want to answer your own question, put it in that other thread.

I don't buy vinyl records anymore.
Are you planning a car-trip vacation where the destination is no more than a seven, eight hours drive away? Where to? Details, please. I'm thinking of Portland, Maine for good eats with a stop on the way back in Boston to maybe catch a game at Fenway.

Toronto is about 8.5 hours, if that counts. We drove there last weekend and will again this weekend. Plenty to do & see in a weekend, very walkable city.

My favorite is Duchess - a Connecticut-based chain (14 locations).
They have everything from breakfast (when I go) to dinner, all cooked to order. You may have to wait a few minutes.
Who in your family decides where to go when you eat out for dinner?

Re: New Answer/Ask thread
We still have time stamps on edits. I saw your edit time stamp immediately. I posted at 8:47AM, noting that you didn't even bother to answer my question though that didn't stop you from pressing an absurd nitpick. At 8:49AM, you edited your post to make it appear as if you had answered my question before my 8:47AM post.MFS62 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 28, 2024 10:58 amWe used to have time stamps on edits.

Question:
"Are you planning a car-trip vacation where the destination is no more than a seven, eight hours drive away?"
Answer:
"I'm thinking of Portland, Maine for good eats with a stop on the way back in Boston to maybe catch a game at Fenway."
Despite all the extraneous flak you're throwing up, you still answered your own question. Don't obfuscate.

Would you ignore the question if it was "What's your favorite vegetable? Mine's eggplant. What's yours?" Don't make me go in circles. You're the one obfuscating. This was already covered.
I guess that after I shredded your time/date stamp BS, you had to come up with another stupid point. A repeat stupid point, no less.
Re: New Answer/Ask thread
OK. You're certainly allowed to answer your own question. All I did was point out the proper thread to put it in.

Well, sort of. I bought antibiotics over the counter from a pharmacy in Paris when my son (three at the time) had symptoms of an ear infection. And an asthma inhaler (also over the counter) in Lima, Peru when we forgot to pack one from home for my daughter. Both of these would have required a doctor visit and a prescription in the United States. But no, I never had to visit a doctor or nurse in any foreign country.

We stayed an a B&B and the door had a three inch gap under it. I felt I had no privacy - everyone walking past could hear everything we were saying and doing.

I get letters all the time about one company or another that is somehow involved in my life (but I’ve never heard of) getting hacked and blah blah blah, but fortunately so far we haven’t been personally hacked.
