Still have one... haven't used it in years... forgotten how to use it!!

What was the main "job" of your VCR
Record TV shows ?
This usually
Watch rented movies ?
Hardly ever

lol fess up Did you ever return a VCR tape and
Forgot to put the tape in the box ?
Oops accidentally return one of your tapes in the box instead of the one you rented ?
LOL nope - neither. I've probably only rented about 3 movies in my whole life! Not a big movie watcher - and would rather see them on the big screen.

Bonus Question:

How would you complete this "Ad"

Wanted: someone to
1.
Give me massages on demand
2.
Undertake a whole host of odd jobs - I have weeds 3 feet tall growing out of my gutters a front porch that is somehow letting in water (not inside fortunately) and a front yard that looks like it was transplanted from the Amazon jungle


Extra Credit Question:

Last thing that had you saying

"Wow It is a Small World" ?
I have a hundred small world stories - enough to fill a book - including the time I was walking along some random street in Tokyo after having gone off the beaten path somewhat, and bumped into someone I hadn't seen in 20 years who was in my class at school in England. Turned out she lived in Australia (as do I), just a couple of miles from where I lived.

Have a T'riffic Tuesday!
