Lisa Loring, Wednesday Addams in ‘The Addams Family,’ Dies at 64 (Published 2023)
With her dark clothes and pigtailed hair framing a pale face, Ms. Loring played Wednesday as a young girl obsessed with death on the ABC series, which ran from 1964 to 1966.
Glad everything worked out for your family,the child worship thing leads to young adults having to learn in their 20's things kids of my age had down in their teens,EG. looking people in the eyes,dealing w/being told no and dealing w/disappointment,or being oversensitive. When I was commiserating w/neighborhood kids it was NOT called a "play date". When nuns belted me lawsuits did NOT result. On the positive side,young people are more adjusted and way less judgemental on racial issues,though I myself always observed that good and bad existed in every race including mine.

Why in the fuck is this allowed? Water rights should NEVER be allowed to be privately owned, EVERY drop should be federally owned and administered, within boundaries, by the states the body of water is in.

I wonder who will be looking at it again in 50,000 years? Or if anyone will be left to look at it.

Just like prison. I had a very nice Lyft driver who worked the system like me, Johnny on the spot, do everything and anything..it gets you nowhere if you're not part of the club. Everybody's work has a special little club; some more visible than others. He believes after what he saw there should not be privatization of the prison system.

I live blissfully far from either. When i did have one close, they were never the cheapest anyway.

You have to watch it, a lot of stuff is actually more expensive. I stopped going to Costco (it’s always packed with the most unpleasant people) and when the renewal comes up I’m canceling.
Costco sucks.
they have one next to a target here and you can't even get out of targets parking lot because the people are lining up for so fucking long it drives me nuts
I have no reason to buy bulk shit food so I don't shop at either

i don't think i've ever been in a costco. Sam's is kind of the same, but i still like going, because it's far enough from my tourist town that the prices are substantially cheaper, even considering that it is Sam's. Everything here is at least 10% higher than it is 25 miles away outside of the tourist zone. usually more like 20-25%

i cook a lot, i buy olive oil, spices, flour, things that don't go bad quickly. if they have decent looking meat, i'll get some and break it down, vacuum package it and save a LOT over buying it locally...they don't give us a "i'm a local, don't charge me tourist prices" card...

just got a "new" vehicle, a 2018 jeep renegade.
i like it, it gets about 25 city, 32 highway, at least the way i drive it.
seems like a pretty solid little vehicle, only had 28k miles on it when we got it, and has a lot of bells and whistles our last vehicle didn't have.

Limited choices here, we have food city, publix, and kroger.
I live in Pigeon Forge, Tn, which is a tourist mecca...so the prices here are outrageous. If you go to Knoxville or Maryville, pretty much everything is ten to twenty percent cheaper, but you have to buy in bulk to make the extra 50-60 mile round trip worth it.
