    and keeping in touch with my feminine side:  The Devil Wears Prada

    The Devil wears Prada  is my favorite surprise movie.  Mrs. Lew and MIL dragged me to this movie at the theatre oh so

    many years ago.  I dreaded the idea.  Then after the movie was over, I agreed I was wrong and  it was a very entertaining 

    movie.  I was glad I went.

  2. Those of us who attended the home opener in 2007 will never forget the silence at RWS when Kevin Everett suffered a spinal injury. Like Christian he received excellent emergency care on the field and at the hospital.  Kevin never played football again but he is a walking testament to the skilled care givers

    who helped him that day and the years following.

    Hopefully Christian will have a similar positive outcome.

  3. The USMNT won the first Nations League Concacaf cup in a 3-2 victory over Mexico.

    The match was held at Mile High Stadium in Denver.

    The cheering and bottle throwing section supporting the Mexican team was out of control 

    and caused delays in the match.  This is a new USA team and

    they play a 'friendly' versus Costa Rica  at 7PM on Wednesday June 9.  on ESPN 2

  4. Alice's shows are entertaining and a lot of fun.

    After Tom Petty died ( yes I know several TBD members disliked Tom) I told Mrs.  Lew that we 

    have to see the older performers.  Since then we have seen (Pre-Covid)  

    Kansas, Chicago, Alice Cooper , Styx,  Carl Palmer's ELP Legacy  and hopefully King Crimson after they reschedule

    their 2020 tour.

  5. I dont know it is in your neck of the woods, but used car lots here in SWV are ghost towns.  The Toyota dealership used to have 30-40 used vehicles

    on the lot.  Today there were 4 when I drove by.  A "mom & pop"  used car place has 8 when they usually have 25-30 used vehicles.

     

    As far as leasing goes, Now that Mrs. Lew and I are retired our work driving mileage has gone from a combined 800 miles per week to

    less than 80 miles per week.  The mileage factor was the key blockage to us ever leasing a vehicle. Now I would consider it.

     

    Good luck to the OP.  As one poster indicated, it really helps to do your homework.  I collected data for 2 months before I bought the Outback in 2018.

    Ever in WVU area go to Tudors Biscuit World... Amazing.

    Tudors Biscuit World is everywhere here in WV.

    A major contributor to the high obesity level in the Mountain State.  Biscuits are

    large and have a large variety of combinations.

    My favorite includes fried bologna, egg and cheese.  It is called "The Politician"

  7. Another favorite is the telemarketer will ask if they can reduce my mortgage interest rates.

    I'll ask, Can you go below "0.00 % "  as my house is paid for.  End of call.

    Last year we bought new house phones. (Yes I still have a landline).  One of the features was

    the ability to "block" calls.  We filled up that feature in 2 weeks..

    One of the best things is to stay on the line as long as possible, since some of these callers get 

    paid by the number of calls they make.

  8. Update.. I pulled the plug and bought   the Ego mower that is last years model.  It is self propelled and has a bagger, mulcher or side discharge system.

    The battery took an hour to fully charge out of the box.   The mower itself is light.  I mean really light.

    The height of the mower deck is easy to adjust with one controller.  I had it set one setting higher than my old mower, so the grass is higher

    than previous mowing.  I have set it down one  setting for the next mowing.  It took 45 minutes to mow and that is normal.

    And the mower is very quiet.  I gave my gas mower to SIL who is moving into the neighborhood.

    As far as the illegal aliens , there are not that many here in SWV other than those folks from KY  who head to WV  for work. 

  9. We are headed to Lewiston in August for our 50 year HS reunion.  Yes, Mrs. Lew and I are HS  Sweethearts.

    Tha'ts about it.  Our time has been and will be spent in "grandma & grandpa"  mode.

    A cruise is planned for 2022.
