I joke, I kid, I opine, I get old. 

Has anyone ridden in a SELF-DRIVING vehicle? 🤔 I have not!(1) I hate anything self driving as I feel a human is the only one who can "operate" whatever. Stuff happens that even drivers DIDNOT predict would happen.(2) Add loss of jobs.(3) Lol, when my Walmart added a SELF-DRIVING robot to "clean" their floors while we shopped, I wondered WHY? 🤔 Stuff does "malfunction" & this thing is HUGE. I was able to "avoid" it as I would locate it in an aisle when it's "beep,beep" sounded near. But one day last year, it caught me in diary. 😱 Had me and my cart boxed in. Now keep in mind it is "suppose" to AVOID us. Anyway, I ran & left my cart behind until it DECIDED to continue on its journey. I do a HAPPY DANCE whenever I see it out of order (stuck somewhere in store). Lol, they have a bear driving it. 😂Take care,Nicole (Friends & Family Forum)

WE would luv to "hear" from you no matter how old or young you are. Maybe READ what other members have posted & leave a "comment" if you can. 😉I have "steps" where I am & already having "knee" issues but plan on looking for my NEXT HOME before I CANNOT make it up my "steps". Not interested in a Nursing Home & NOT quite ready to move in with my only child (a daughter). While I "like" my neighbors, as I AGE I am "craving" QUIET. Ideally would luv to move into a Small Cottage with NO "steps".Thanks,Nicole (Friends & Family Forum)

Let's be penpals! 

It has been a very long time since I thought of them but did when I happen to take the City Bus here in Virginia. Usually I AVOID anything to do with the City Bus, but the OTHER Old Lady (2006 Hyundai Elantra) needs a LOW MILEAGE engine. I am on my mechanic's Things To Do List. The bus is a VERY LONG ride from my side of town & I took it to the downtown Walmart. To my pleasure, it circled through the HUGE MALL before stopping at Walmart. It was a "mixture" of sadness & memories as we rode by the HUGE "empty" SEARS building. I remember as a "child" my parents ORDERING from the Sears CATALOG. And me totally "fascinated" with the HUGE catalog = lots of stuff to dream about getting. Then as a teen, I had a job at the Sears in St. Louis, Missouri and had my 1st car serviced at their Auto Center. I am surprised the building here is standing empty. I would have thought another "retailer" would have taken over. Nicole!
