I think they sell electric ear cleaners, too. (Link to a scene from “Parenthood,” spoilered as it’s not entirely SFW.) [The Ear Cleaner - Parenthood (1989) - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHa67uJZgxc) ---

I love the pix of the toothpick holders on the car dashboards. I have so many questions, starting with why on a dashboard, and ending with why are they proportionally so huge, and all the ones in between. ---

Got a message from Temu… Dear, you’ve missed the deal. We’re sorry but here’s (\*8000 other things just like it) an item you might want! No, no I don’t want that crap. (\*I added this part.) ---

Temu and I are having a torrid affair. I need to break up but probably won’t. As my Little Round Man points out I am a magpie who loves shiny items and when they are inexpensive it simply adds to the allure. Everything I’ve gotten has been pretty much what I expected. I will say the clothes were better quality than I thought they would be. The shipping is fast. So……they can call me dear. They can call me sweetheart. Just keep shipping my lovely geegaws and I will remain happy in my approaching senility. ---

Hmmm? I may have to actually order something. The lil’wrekker has made many orders for costume jewelry and tshirts. She says the same as you about the tops she gets. Cheap, but not too bad. And it’s fun getting the things. I’m gonna call her a Magpie from now on. ---
