    What do you call this grocery shopping holding device?

    @leebee is right. It's a shopping basket, though sometimes called a cart.

    Survivor 46

    Q made himself the perfect person to take to the finals. You can mention that he wanted to quit halfway through... blah, blah, blah. Although, he can argue that they kept him and he survived until the end and therefore deserves the $1M. Maybe not the perfect person to take to the finals.

    Genealogy thread

    Interesting. I'll have to buy my DD an Ancestry kit for her birthday next month. Through 23 and Me, she and my DS found a bunch of first cousins that were adopted into America, but they didn't find any of their siblings. Perhaps Ancestry will find some of them. I'll also tell her to upload...

    Isn't this the truth! Almost 40 years ago, my cousin won $3M from the lottery. Her boyfriend's ex-wife contacted him because she was planning to sue him for more child support. He didn't win... my cousin did. The ex told him that she must be sharing some with him and she wanted her share of...

    slo’s FRIDAY 3/29 poll - Easter Plans ✝️🐰🌷

    I'll start cooking tonight for Sunday. I have to lector for the Easter Vigil Mass... I love reading the story of creation! I'm making dinner for my family and I'll be taking food to my parents and my MIL on Sunday. MIL is homebound and my Mom is recovering from surgery, so she's opted to stay...

    Pay to use the rest room?

    I've paid to use the toilet in Scranton, PA, in the 70s and early 80s at The Globe Store. I've also paid to use the toilet in Moscow, Russia, in 2001. I can't remember any other places that charged me.

    How many times during your working career did you think about slapping a co-worker across the face?

    I was on a call an hour ago with a man I wanted to slap upside of his head. I work with some of the smartest people I've ever met at my current job, people from around the world. However, I also work with some real doozies.

    Coin Spinoff

    I try to spend them before I leave the country. Banks will change bills but not coins back to USD.

    Survivor 46

    He left with aplomb. His story of his upbringing was sad. He definitely won hearts last night, albeit not the $1M or even a place in the jury. He needed to go, but seemed to have an epiphany of why he caused the vote.

    slo’s THURSDAY 3/21 poll - Saving Coins 💰

    We save our coins, but usually they are pilfered for quarters for car washes or air for tires. The container is pretty full. I should have one of my kids take this to the bank to have the coins counted.

    Genealogy thread

    Funny thing is an ad popped up when I opened this about MyHeritage. It said, "I found my grandparents' wedding certificate!" Well, in doing my research on my family and my DH's, I found his parents'. Turns out there were shotguns involved in their wedding, though no one talks about it and I...

    What Don't you go to your nearest for?

    Advanced Medical Care Aside from my PCP, who agrees that care in this area is abysmal, I only go out of town, especially for surgical consults and care.

    slo’s MONDAY 3/18 poll - Eye Color 👀

    My eyes are brown, like my Dad's. He has always said it's because we're full of "poop." I negotiate for a living, so I guess that's a good thing.

    where is the best place you have ever been to that wasn't a vacation?

    My company sponsors the Astin Martin car. I have a shirt that the company offered a while ago. I get comments on it all the time from folks who follow Formula 1. There are many more than I ever thought. The documentary on Netflix is also very good.

    Amazing Race season 36

    Wait! They continued racing, but someone went home!?! When I saw they were continuing the race, I assumed no one would go home, so I fell asleep. Ugh. Either tell me who went home (even in a DM) or I'll see next week. I won't watch it again since I can't fast forward CBS shows in Hulu. I'm...

    where is the best place you have ever been to that wasn't a vacation?

    I'm so jealous! My company sponsors a Formula One car. I don't work in an area that would ever be chosen to assist with that. The closest I ever got was having the chance to win a hat autographed by our lead driver. Unfortunately, I didn't win.
