If I was king of the world

 

There would be only one size buggy. Kroger has 3.

Every Screw in the world would be Phillips or some standard. 

 

I had to deal with a VW Monday. Some kind of weird star pattern to get the tag off. Just why in the name of God not just use a Philips head.  The used car dude lucky had something to fit it.

 

probably a torx

I think there should be two sizes -- the big one (single basket) and the smaller one with two baskets stacked on each other. When you are only shopping for two people, and you are a short person, it can be difficult to reach down into the large and mostly empty basket for the, what, two tubs of spinach and two six packs of beer you're buying. Okay, that's an understatement, but I rarely fill up a big basket. More of the two-basket small ones, please!

 

And while we're at it, there should be step stools on demand at supermarkets for the stuff on the top shelves. I feel like a 12 year old reaching up up up for the yeast on the top shelf. Sometimes I end up walking over to the mops in the cleaning supplies aisle and using one to knock down stuff for myself. Or I have to ask other people to reach for me, which makes me feel like an idiot.

Well decimalization was something like 50 years ago, right?

Or I could make the other person who lives with me and who is a foot taller come shopping with me more frequently instead of claiming he has important work to do (Civ VI).

I wore a mask most of Today at work. I did it as a test. It was freaking miserable. I helped a couple that had on masks and were armed with hand sanitizer 

 

Here is why I think so many major companies are requiring masks. This companies do anything in their power to reduce risk exposure. Many of them have very active Risk Management departments as do the people that write their insurance. I am sure some risk analysis people told them not complying with CDC guild lines gave the massive risk exposure. I think its going to trickle down and underwrites are going to start requiring it.

One thing a good wife/fiancee does is not tamper with her man's important work time.

I think rather than Queen he sees me as Keeper of the Privy Purse. Literally the message I got from him 10 minutes ago on Hangouts:

Okay, I'll allow you to give up the idea of a Dave Smith Instruments Tempest or a pair of Viberg wholecut boots if we can agree that you shall demonstrate your undying love for me by buying me a new Ford Bronco. 2 door.

   You should see how it feels after wearing the same mask for 5 days.

Unfortunately coronatimes mean that I had to let our cleaner go.  So I am now the cleaner of the privies. (Two of them.)

And me being a complete idiot. It was a surgical mask and someone pointed out I had it on inside out. So naturally without thinking I turned it around. I just put the culture collector   dish in my face.

Tell that to Queen Elizabeth.  Prince Phillip is most decidedly not a king and she's been the monarch longer than any of her predecessors. 

 

Runner up for longest-serving British monarch was Queen Victoria, whose consort Prince Albert was also never a king.  

 

Only one English/British Queen regnant has ruled with a co-monarch instead of a consort or no spouse: Queen Mary II (William III). Mary I's husband was a king in his own right but not King of England. 

 

Yes I have spent many hours in deep Wikipedia holes learning this stuff.

In the UK, I remember it being a pound. Marks have been out of use since Germany went to the Euro about 20 years ago. Sorry if that comes off as a tweak about age -- I am not consciously being ageist here.

1993, so please don't hold that against me.  I can control a lot of things in my life, but my age isn't one of them.  37 has been tough on the old bones.  Several times now.
