Watching the clock is one way to slow down time. Another one, I just experienced, is to go to the pharmacy when they are busy.Due to my lack of spelling skills I could never do a crossword puzzle like Joe.

However things like unwanted emails are ea...

Oh Boy! Joe has it half right as far as I'm concerned. Where he and I differ is he says 2025 is finally here and I say WOW, where did the time go!
