I think I've started collecting joint replacements.. that kinda slowed down the other hobbies. One of the fringe benefits is having a nice collection of walking sticks
I've dated waitresses, my wife waited tables at one time in her life and my daughter worked as a waitress for a while. I tip for good service. I also tip my barber when I get a high dollar clean up
We shop at Ingles, it's the closest, with a decent selection. I like Kroger and Publix, but they are not close locally. I hate going in a Walmart, it's hell trying to get out of there.
I have zero faith in any dealership anymore. I know there are good ones out there, but based on my experience, that is few and far between. My trusted mechanic of 25 years, just retired and I'm kind of in a bind about it. I used to do my own maintenance, but my back and hips limit that now.
I spoke with a doc, just a little while ago. It turns out I may have some avascular necrosis happening. They made an appointment with my ortho, who will confirm. with an MRI If that is the case, the shots will not do me any good. I think I am looking at a hip replacement on both sides.
