Many local businesses' TV ads are not for their goods or services, they're recruitment videos. My disabled daughter hasn't had an aide for over a year because they can't find people. Our 24 hour CVS closes some nights for lack of personnel. Last week I ordered a refill prescription on line, then followed up with a phone call to ensure that it would be available for pick up the next evening when I could get a ride. We showed up at the CVS the next evening and my prescription was not ready, The pharmacist said, "Sorry, we're short handed". This week, I ordered my weekly grocery delivery for Tuesday. At 7:30 AM on Tuesday, the store shopper called me to ask if I minded delivery on Wednesday, they were short handed. Please, governors of southern border states, send the buses to upstate New York.PS. What has Biden to do with it?  less

For thirty years or more, I've thought that a personal motor vehicle was eventually going to lead to environmental disaster. Moving to electric personal motor vehicles is a fantasy solution to the environmental impact as the world population keeps expanding. Over these decades, my personal opinion is that much of the technology and expense would have been put to better use in public transportation. Unfortunately, most of our society is set up so that it's almost impossible to get anywhere without a personal motor vehicle. Our local bus service is pretty comprehensive, but it still can't service everyone's situation. Perhaps the ride sharing business is a step in the right direction. Good public transportation and a more comprehensive system of ride sharing my be the catalyst for people to decide that owning and maintaining their own personal motor vehicle is just not worth it. Some of the blame can be put at the doorstep of the major vehicle manufacturing companies for building an Ame...    less

That is exactly right. Number two was when my husband walked out leaving me alone with two kids and in debt.

A binary noun is a shortened form for 'a pair of pants' or 'pairs of pants'.The noun sheep is used as a singular and a plural noun.And, I hate to mention it but the noun 'bra' has both a singular and a plural form. You would think it would be a binary noun, but it's not. I guess that's because it is derived from (shhh) French.  less

For years people were told there's no such word as "conversate". I understand that it's now in the dictionary. A two syllable word (converse) is now being replaced with a three syllable word (sensible or senseless?) So if you use flutterby frequently enough and teach others to do the same, you never know.PS. I see that spell check still doesn't like conversate.  

There was a 1990??

My earliest memory was showing them that I could walk under the dining room table without my head touching, and they couldn't. Close in time to that, I remember one day they were teaching me how to slide my feet on the rug to make a spark when I touched the radiator. All of my earliest memories include my brother and sister. We were a team.

It used coal for heating and cooking until I was 12 y.o. when the coal furnace exploded. The house had two coal bins, accessed by the coal truck through basement windows. My mom cooked on a coal stove until that time. The coal was carried to the kitchen in a coal scuttle and shoveled into the stove with a small shovel. My parents had the coal furnace replaced with natural gas, and replaced the coal stove with a gas stove.

My mom was a comptometer operator also!A profession that I remember from my childhood was the Rag Man. There was a man with a horse and wagon who rode up and down the streets calling "rags... rags... rags..." People would save their old, worn cloth items and turn them over to the Rag Man when he came by. He made his money selling these to whatever industry manufactured things from recycled cloth. Was it polyester that killed that industry?In the future, I see the disappearance of banks, the brick and mortar kind that have employees inside that you can talk to. I like going to places of commerce that have real people that you can interact with.  less

Then you know what I mean. Are you under 40?

It occurred to me recently that anyone under the age of forty has never tasted an actual french fry.

I was reminded of this when Wendy's introduced their "new hot and crispy fries" (guaranteed hot and crispy) with incessant TV ads last year. I looked up the ingredient list for these new fries, it was a page long. Real french fries ingredient list is two ingredients only, potato and oil, period (salt, sauces, and condiments are an add on by preference).  less

The reason for the 'no' is because these "many people" don't know that there already exists perfectly useful non-gender specific, singular, third person pronouns such as "one", "someone", "anyone", "oneself", "who", "whoever", etc.  

Or, "He is better than them." because the word "than" is functioning as a preposition and the objective pronoun "them" is the object of the preposition.It can be viewed either way.

You mean like to "curb your appetite" means to lay it along the edge of the street?

The term is rarely used in the positive form, it's commonly used in the negative to speak of something clearly or directly, for example, "Mincing your words won't spare his feelings" (used in positive); or "Don't mince your words, I need the facts" (used in the negative).  

Neither are the words "male" and "female" or the pronouns "he" and "she" species-specific.

What makes you think that 'jet fighter pilots' equals men? The noun 'pilot' is a common gender noun, a word for a male or a female who flies an airplane. (Sorry about this. I supervise the 'nouns/pronouns' category on another site. I can't help myself.)
