I've used a similar change purse for years!

I watch to escape from the current American reality. The scenery is restful and the dialogs make me laugh.

Early '70s colors! Badly dated!

Must be all of that exercise from the dancing he did throughout his career.

My whole-house water heater is a modern version of the earlier gas ones shown here. It's a demand water heater, venting to the outdoors, but adding to the pollution load only while I'm running hot water. Costs about $25 and some change a month to run. The ~$25 is the fee for having a gas meter...

It's been so many years since I read it that I had nearly forgotten about it.

Isn't any meat that you're being encouraged to try "like chicken"? When I was very young, we raised a few rabbits for the table. One day my father was holding me up in front of the cage to feed a lettuce leaf to one of them. The dear bunny took the leaf and bit through my thumbnail! I very much...

I don't mind black pudding, but became really bored with liver.
