DIY Checkouts - R. I. P.

Good news! Companies are discovering that customers don't like to check out their purchases, and they are also losing lots of money because of them. Walmart, Target, and others are replacing the DIYs with regular registers.

Many stores have both. I take the shortest path to checkout.

Cool set of images from olden times. Love 'em. The vast majority of these images were in perfect focus on the subject. In looking at other sources, old pictures like these were typically out-of-focus, poorly exposed, etc. The ones on this facebook link were great. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the reply, BobbyJohn!!

Tax Refund?

BebuLamar wrote:

I am not sure if I had to pay a penalty for underpayment or not. I filed my tax using turbo tax and pay the IRS whatever turbo tax told me to.

I've also been doing that for 15 years. Sometimes I receive a refund, sometimes I pay what I owe. I always have estimated quarterly payments for the next year. It works for me.

I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve seen the show four times! Guess that makes me a groupie.

Nah!! I have watched some movies on Prime & Netflix 6 or 7 times.

A matter of perspective

That's because they didn't experience any of it.
To them it's just history.
They simply don't understand.

I agree with your perspective, Bill! WWII veterans are 100+ years old. Not many around. Vietnam, and later military involvements, are mostly history to those 20+ years. My Grandkids, ages 19, 21 and 24 have no clue about "those days". I share stories of my youth and later years with them, if they show an interest, but I don't make them a captive audience. They enjoy some of "my stories", but are much more interested in their own lives. I think that's the way it should be, but I do think the history of our nation and the world deserves more time in their lives. I doubt it will happen unless social media provides the stories.
