In another 20 years we will be talking about being able to tell time on a traditional clock.

Just recently have I started to routinely carry a phone.
I like watches and have a small collection.
I don't wear jewelry, so the closest thing is a nice watch.
I think that many people today can't tell time on a traditional clock.
I can still remember by grandfather saying, "It's half past four" rather than 4:30.
I can also remember some kids saying, "The big hand is on the six and the little hand is on the four."

You're a good sport!

I love Knob Creek, but Grandpappy Van Winkle is something you might try when you have some discretionary income.

I also love bluegrass.

I'm a fan of Ricky Skaggs among others.

My nephew introduced me to Knob Creek a few months back. I like it.
I haven't tried Grandpappy Van Winkle [yet].
I like bluegrass, Ricky Skaggs as well as many other types of music.

That's where I bought mine. In a pinch Afrin nose spray works too, although not as well.
Jago - Aluminum Sulfate is the main ingredient of the styptic pencil.

A couple years ago I started buying Shark Super Stainless Double Edge blades [Amazon].
They are much cheaper than the disposable and are very sharp.
It took me a few times to get used them, but fortunately I also had a styptic pencil.

If you lived closer, I'd buy the first round.
