@SarahWorkx You have got to be kidding me! People can’t have half a dozen kids in their own backyard for a birthday party without consulting you? They have every right to do what they want on the run property, as long as it’s legal. Welcome to living in a neighborhood.
@PeterMicioni@lady_valor_07 Long before boomboxes we just played the radio and hit play on the tape recorder when your song came on. We did it on a reel-to-reel recorder!
@QEisenacher I’m almost 70, and I can’t remember exactly what I read at that age, but I do remember going through a Dickens stage in junior high, as well as Dumas.
@kirkraff I don’t like reading in present tense, so I don’t write in it either. I know a lot of people say it feels more immediate to them, but it just feels awkward to me.
