Mostly, my dad drove. When I went places with him, he drove. When my mom took me out, we took public transportation. After I learned to drive, I drove my mom when we had places to go. It's been only in the last ten years or so that I've felt the need to drive my dad places. If I ever move in with him, my main jobs will be chauffeur and cook, I guess. |

One was married to a business owner who didn't make much money but who liked to live the high life. The other aunt owned her own business and never had kids. I can only remember one school friend whose mother worked, and she was the kindergarten teacher at our school. |

My mom and dad always worked - the "traditional" stay-at-home mom was never a thing on this rock. OTOH, I always loved it when my mom would take me with her during the day. We'd do stuff together. My dad, not so much. Mostly he'd have me wait in the hot car while he did stuff. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8QSJbmZEoQ ==== I love that chap:) He is so nice and laid back:)) |

A lot of aspies will wear headphones, either to drown out the outside world or cut down all sounds. I'm not sure which one it is. |

Thanks! OTOH, Asian cooks can control the amount of rice a person eats by varying the amount of salt in his dishes. Extra salt means more rice will be consumed. Neat huh? :) |

At HEB, two half gallons are cheaper than a whole gallon, by almost $.50. $1.55 for a half gallon https://www.heb.com/product-detail/h-e-b-select-ingredients-whole-milk/314135 $3.58 for a whole gallon. https://www.heb.com/product-detail/h-e-b-select-ingredients-whole-milk/314130 It's been this way for years. Why? Who knows. It's the same with cream - buy two pints instead of a quart. -sw |

(A human invariably that has a heavy foreign accent.) I understand that it is cheaper to contract tech support offshore where people will work for a lot less, but I am beginning to wonder if the long waits and the substandard proficiency in English is a tactic to reduce calls. It seems that growing numbers of people are more willing to put up with the problem than to deal with the waiting and the inability to communicate. |

I wouldn't want to commit a crime if that would be cultural appropriation. |
