On an anti-Samsung and pro Samsung topic. I ordered a new MacBook Pro 3 Max. I think it cost as much as my first car. I ordered a Samsung T9 SSD drive. jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the finale, good to see everyone come back. Not only didn't it go over well with some viewers but Jerry and his cohorts weren't thrilled with it either either. I agree with most who responded. For me, no way, no how. Not an experience on my bucket list. Friends of ours went one NYE in the 90's and said they were thankful they were able to finally escape the Times Square mob. Awful experience. Her husband talked her into going. For years after, she never let him forget it. I am basing my experience from 1962 .Apparently it is a lot different now. However,it is still something that many people say they wish they had gone to at least once.I equate it to going to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade in person.

grapau27 Posted December 10, 2023 #110379 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Good evening. I hope everyone is safe and well. We had a nice church service this morning and been watching Judge Judy on TV most of this afternoon. It is still raining and 6°C at 19.00pm. I hope y'all have a great day. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I know where every public bathroom in NYC and Boston are located. When my brother and I were younger and we traveled and cruised as a family our mother would sometimes remark that we didn't miss any bathroom that we encountered. The bathrooms at Sak’s Fifth Avenue are the cleanest public bathrooms I ever used. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up in a time with no computers, no cell phones, no cable tv, girls had to wear skirts or dresses to school. Simpler times for sure. BTW I have never seen even one episode of Star Trek but I'm nice in spite of it. 😉 Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock shows scared me lots. I am older than you 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't both fly, our house in PA is in a very rural area so need a car, besides DH brings various tools back and forth in case needed along with various linens I take back and forth, no washing machine there so need to beung them all back to wash. Basically too much crap goes back and forth to fly. It is usually between a 10 and 11 hour drive. I download shows to my tablet to keep me occupied. 8 minutes ago, Ocean Boy said: I once went to NYC for 4th of July fireworks on the East River. I won't be doing that again anytime soon either.

I wasn't around in 1962 but I'm wondering if the Guy Lombardo & Dick Clark TV specials encouraged people to go & therefor made it a far more overcrowded & hectic experience today than it was back in 1962. Just my humble guess. And add me to the list of people who have no desire to be in NYC on NYE. Growing up, watching those 2 TV specials from home or a friends house was how I spent my NYE until I was old enough to go out on my own.
