My cheap wine of choice is the Gallo Family selection in the 1.5 liter bottles. A couple of years ago they switched from real cork to some synthetic
cork. Now the bottles come with screw caps. I've seen wine returned in films because the customer claimed the wine was "corked". It makes me wonder if some wino ever tried to return a bottle of Thunderbird or Night Train Express claiming the wine was "screw capped"...

If a mountain line purrs in a forest and there's nobody there to hear it ...

I’ve returned corked wine. It’s a really noticeable chemical flavor and smell. Screw caps are a far superior closing method.

Rasputin complained the poisoned wine they gave him was corked "This wine is corked!" but drank it anyway, though it didn't work and they had to keep trying different methods until job finished, near like a cat.

I hate it when the cheap two-ply TP in the men’s room at work gets out of sync.

I hate it when it gets out of sync anywhere. Especially difficult for us anal personality types.

I tried a morning without coffee, and wow that was not good.
I was accident prone, and everything hurt worse than usual. I sustained a minor neck injury - bonked my head - and it bothered me for three days. This is a lesson I won't soon forget.
Don't do it.

Reminds me of old joke . . .
A finnish engineer was visiting his friend in USA - that friend was working at jet-fighter factory. So he got the chance to see some testing of newest fighters. Turned out, that the new plane was ALMOST perfect - fast and strong etc etc - but one problem insistently prevailed - at certain air manuever the wings would braek off close to the hull.
The finn suggested his friend, that they could drill a line of small holes at the breaking point. The americans were thunderstruck by this obviously mad suggestion. But they had been wrestling for years w this problem - so they thought there's nothing to loose.
The jet w them holes went off and up - cleared brilliantly all previous tests - and finally tried that one catastrophic maneuver . . .
To everybody's surprise all was fine and finally the jet landed unharmed after clearing each and every test.
Americans were so glad and happy - they asked the finn how come he knew the solution to their dilemma.
He replied : I work at paper mill - and no matter how hard we try - the toilet paper will never rip at the dotted line . . . .

I believe that mountain lions/cougars are the largest members of the cat family that purr. Years ago, our daughter got to play with a cougar at a game farm near Toronto. The cougar was quite tame, enjoyed being petted, and purred loudly when she played with it.

I can vouch for a fact, from personal experience, that cougars purr...

Get up, make coffee, get online, bask in knowledge, plucking a gem here and there hoping you can remember it all.

Topping the list of 10 musicians John Lennon didn't like, Paul McCartney, lol.
