  1. They should have a smile “like” because this made me smile. Its not a gadget (oops, yes it is so say the dictionary ), but what came to mind is a heavy metal potato masher that I remember being around when I was younger. I hope we still have it, because it certainly got the job done. Need to root through a certain kitchen drawer. Oh, and @Ryan Jones has me wanting an ice cream maker...
  2. Hopefully, the time flies by for all of you.
  3. Okay, so I was a little surprised after reading the definition. Baleful is a word that is rarely in my orbit, so I can be excused for immediately thinking of a certain member of the Seven Dwarves clan, right? 🤔
  4. I knew/know docs like that. Luckily, they’re not all like that.
  5. @Story Reader There's absolutely nothing wrong with calling someone by their first name if you know what said first name is. It’s sounds as if your sister wants to keep a barrier between herself and people she deals with. In all my years of working with patients - regardless of their age - I’ve only had one that insisted in being referred to as Mrs. xxx. Acknowledging someone by their first name makes the situation more personable/social rather than an us vs. them relationship. Just my opinion, but this way of interacting with people makes any situation more positive and fruitful.
  6. Rabbit? what rabbit? What am I missing here?
  7. Not sure - I just noticed it yesterday. I was going to check into it, but I got distracted by something “shiny” and forgot about it. Edit: I think I have a shield because I’m a moderator.
  8. It’s good to treat yourself every now and again. My brother got his first shot of the Moderna vaccine a couple of weeks ago, and didn’t have/hasn’t had any side effects. I’ll be getting the Pfizer vaccine, but I have no idea when that will be, because the over 80s appointment sign up is only starting tomorrow, so I think I’ve got a bit of a wait for my turn.

    I think you’re right. On the face of it, it is a simple tale about a car, and yet, it’s so much more than that, too.

    Not even remotely a “yuck” young man. It’s a treasure.
  11. Just imagine how good it would/could be if everyone followed this advice. Good one, tim.
  12. Good morning DiCers and Happy Birthday K’s mom!
  13. I’ve started getting pop up ads only recently. As we are on different networks- and in different countries - the ad presentation may be a little different, but I can get rid of mine by tapping the x in the top right corner of the ad. I’m using an iPhone 7.
  14. K, I hope your son can get past this, and come out on the okay side of things.
  15. I’ve been doing okay. The routine has been the same for a long time now, but with the last few weeks, shovelling snow has been a change of pace.
  16. Hi Thorn! *waves* And the same to you as well.
  17. Good thoughts are on their way...
  18. @Mikiesboy Your quote reminded me of this news article I came across. What a treat for the family. https://oakvillenews.org/news/eastern-screech-owl-rests-in-oakville-family-wreath/
  19. 👍🏻 Clever. I like it.
  20. Happy Valentine’s day, rick.
  21. You and yours as well, molly.
