My wife grew up not being able to get in the refrigerator or kitchen cabinets.

She is now 63 and anytime I go in to the kitchen after dinner and open the refrigerator of cabinet she says (loudly) What are you doing in the Refrigerator (or cabinet).

It’s funny that the US GDP under Biden grew about 3.7 Trillion over his 4 years and under Trump it grows 4.8 Trillion in the 1.5 years

Ossoff D(GA) is a nothing-burger who the Dems have been pushing to be more visible, even as a possible presidential candidate, so they don’t all seem so crazy. But he’s a Jew, so he may have to take a back seat, just like Shapiro D(PA).

Grape nuts were the cruelest thing you could do to a grape!!
You had to have an extra half hour for breakfast to let grape nuts soak in milk to make them edible.

In the 1960’s New Jersey had a drinking age of 18 and New York ‘s was 21. I had a friend who was a village cop in Jersey and they would park at the Jersey side of the bridge on Fridays and stop any car with New York plates heading back to New York. That’s how the village cops got their alcohol, from seized product.

thanks for the memories Gerry.
