dancer62 04/05/20 1:57:14 PM #23 | robbobmur posted... The cart is the property of the business , not the customer.The quarter unlocks the cart for use. When someone is finished using the cart, it's available for use by someone else. The quarter is to encourage you to return the cart to the corral to get your quarter back. The cart belongs to the store. The quarter belongs to the original user, who kindly left it for the next person's use. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |

Your wallet, purse, house, and vehicle are not abandoned in the middle of the parking lot because you're too lazy to return them to the corral and reclaim your quarter. Or maybe not pure laziness, maybe figuring that someone will appreciate not having to drop a quarter for the cart, a small, relatively miniscule, kindness. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |

Topic | What do you think cheap push mower, self prop, reel mower or a battery powered? |
dancer62 04/04/20 4:11:17 AM #5 | I use an old-fashioned mechanical push reel mower. No gas, no mess, good exercise. Of course, the lawns I usually mow, mine and two neighbors, are small and I don't let them get overgrown. When I took care of a friends lawn while she was out of town, large and overgrown, I had to first cut the overgrowth with a cordless weedeater before my little mower could handle it. Old neighborhood, nice houses, her neighbors had lawn services, I wondered sometimes what her neighbors thought of a woman pulling up in a BMW convertible, taking an old-fashioned push mower out of the back seat, and mowing her lawn by hand. The disadvantages are that the cut is a little uneven, and twigs, pinecones, etc., will jam the reel, so it's wise to rake first. If the grass is too tall, you need to cut it down with a weedeater before mowing. Huge advantages: small, light, easily transportable, easy to store, gentle on the lawn, no gas can to mess with, no noise or smell, good exercise. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |

Got some more ramen, scored a half-price 2# package of hamburger, the soda crackers I forgot last time, and an 88 frozen pot pie. Yippee! Checked out by my favorite manager, she's doing okay, she asked about my neighbor, who's doing okay but has an appointment for angiographic tomography Tuesday. Speaking of appointments, screening at the Outpatient Dept at the hospital was just questions by a masked tech about cough last Tuesday, on Thursday temperature taken by a masked and face-shielded and gowned tech who wrote the temp on a visitor's badge, wonder what screening will be this Tuesday? Screening is good but as soon as I put on a mask, I get a tickle in my throat like I need to cough! --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |

I've honestly never known a single person who took their shoes off at the door of their house who was actually born and raised in the US. The few people I knew who did were all first-generation immigrants or the children who lived in their house and didn't have a choice but to do what they were told. Documented Mayflower Descendant here. Let me be the first. Why would anyone want to track street grime, other people's spit, mud, fertilizer, insecticides, automobile oil drippings, animal feces, pollen, etc. into their house rather than leaving their shoes by the door?
