Disingenuous - I needed it for a couple of political threads and had to look up the spelling. But it's a useful word for a lot of baloney comments you see online.

Do you keep and verify those receipts?
 

Not me. I don't have the patience for that. But Mrs. Z does — every month when the bills come in. It's one of many things that make our marriage work. She's good at the stuff I'm not and vice versa. We make a good team.

Just heard.... She's fine, back home and plans to be back at work tomorrow! I've been worrying all day, so relieved

I always come into these things late, but I'm glad to hear the good news.

I'm originally from Chicago and the kind pictured below is actually more popular there (than deep-dish) and it's the way my father would make them at home:
 

Exactly. Deep dish pizza is not pizza. It's a casserole.
 

Did I use this here yet?

Scene in an Ancient Greek tailor shop:

Tailor: Euripides?
Customer: Yes, Eumenides?

To see a potential sucker, watch so many who even buy coffee with a credit card.
 

Not necessarily. We have a card on which we earn points. That card also charges no interest as long as we pay off at the end of each month. Which we do.

There's an oldie. I remember hearing it on my tabletop AM radio.

You guys inspired me. I had a PB&J sandwich for lunch. 

PB&J is not my favorite sandwich. But it’s tasty and filling and quick to make. So I have one from time to time.

Maybe it’s more than it appears. But the ‘Michigan Hot Dog’ looks like an all-beef wiener with chili and mustard. Which is can be found all over.

Not that you asked, but my favorite sandwich is the Philly Cheesesteak. Italian Beef (a Chicago thing) is right up there too.

Not commercially available either in Chicago or in the Northwest, where I’m at for the moment, is the chopped cheese (a New York thing I think). But recipes are available online and my family likes them.

When I look back on earlier events in my life, "Well that was only... Shit that was decades ago."

Thank you all for your responses. I'm a poor corespondent. But I will try to show up more often than every other leap year.

I am not a morning person and I've mostly been able to arrange my life to suit that. But the little one wakes up at 6am which means the rest of the household does too. Ugh.

Learned this factoid from my goddaughter who is in vet school: Female possums have two vaginas. Male possums have forked penises.
 

Might be different ‘cause I’m on a phone.
