Single. Then not single. Now single again. Don't care to go into the details.

Great joke and so true. I've never heard it before.

Someone told it to me. I think she got it from TV but I'm not sure.
Ah TV. Is there anything you don't know?

Sorry to bring up a painful subject for you. Relationships, when they don't work out, are definitely not fun. I feel for you and the rest of us.

I could say the same about the computer.

True. But with TV and the computer/Internet, you need to know that you have a reliable source.

You're welcome.

As for the question of them gathering their information from a reliable source, isn't that also true about books? I can read a book and assume it's reliable but that doesn't make it true. Would the exception be dictionaries and the old encyclopedias we had as kids?

I agree, it is a problem. Like the old song* asks, Who are the trusted?

I trust you, Thoth. See, you and my sister are my Encyclopedias.

Congrats, Whirlybird! Life soon gets more than a little tedious in the cold and dark, not to mention the slowly defrosting refrigerator.

Welcome back to the Land of Power, Light, and Internet Access!

Thanks, M. You are so right! Between eating cold cereal, trying not to open the frig or freezer, I was sweating out my battery reserves on my different devices. There's nothing like being connected to this forum and the internet.
