My mom doesn't have one either. She's over it and one of the happiest people in the world.

Fran thinks you can just turn to the person next to you at any given moment and ask them to call you an Uber, but she doesn't realize that many of us don't have a personal assistant to do stuff for us. Who am I supposed to ask when I'm on my own? It's not an "incredible extravagance for no reason" when you don't have many other options.

I adore her so much. She is a gem. Like a emerald in a word of diamonds

OMG Triptik! Haven’t heard that word in years!

I find the wristwatch analogy interesting. However I’m a doctor & sometimes might need it to count the pulse 😂

I can concur and say that one of the best Thai restaurants is in Morristown NJ :)

I enjoy hearing her stories

I like this neurotic energy. She's my idea of the artistic type who is always preoccupied with being original or coming up with something original or coming off as original. And the performative aspect of this process is an element of his artistic being itself, that is, to regale the audience with that frenetic persona.

It’s funny I was born in 59 & remember it the same with men driving. When my parents met in college my Dad had no license. Didn’t need one grew up in the Bronx. Mom did though, she was Yonkers.

I have no idea who this is, but she would be a perfect Edna Mode in a live action Incredibles

she is so right about what she said!

Wow - Is this an AMERICAN ICON?.... As a kid in Port St John's, South Africa we had no phones. Electricity came when I was 6. Paved roads, what were those. You reached our town by pont (car carrying boat) over the river. We knew about the deep south. We marvelled over Detroit 😢. We understood President Eisenhower policies. We were troubled about the developing Vietnam war (French). I speak for the whole community of about 1000 people. We read Time and Life and a couple of English publications. Few Americans can claim they didn't know the USA of the 1950s. I now play with IOT and using data in the cloud. I've written two apps for smartphones. I am excited by the power of AI. I am one of countless people over 70 doing this. How can you NOT know the current world. The world has little time or space for dinosaurs. Look rather to the young trailblasers with merit. The youngsters also have IQs that are on average 15 points higher than us old people.

I can relate, on road trips my dad drove and my mother sat like a princess doing her nails. I grew up in Chicago and was taking the L at 10. I loved those big green buses. I usually paid with a token but the driver actually used to give change. He had the coin thing on his belt and a wad of bills in his pocket. I don’t drive, never have. I always thought it was safe but now I’m not so sure. The pandemic and politics has people deranged.

The odd thing is children in the South are taught not to go places like New York, because of the high crime rate and pollution. We tend to vacation in Florida or the mountains. I was not alive during the time period that she is talking about, however, so maybe we had a higher murder rate back then? Still the murder rate couldn't have been higher than New York.
