I was so surprised when I sold a newly listed unopened 1980s barrette.
When I listed it in my online shops, I immediately got inquiries about it.
Today, it sold for $25 with 4 people having it on their shopping cart already. A customer from Louisiana beat them all to it.
Some online sellers price this item as high as $80.
I was cleaning my drawers I was cleaning my drawers in my dresser and found an old sterling silver bracelet. I think I bought the bracelet on sale at the nearby Boscov's (a department store) when it newly opened in our town in 2002.
Me: 'doy, look! I'm wearing my old ankle bracelet.
Jason: ((( WHAT?! )))
He sounded so confused!
Jason: Like for probation?
LOL!
I almost peed from laughing so hard. I didn't think of that.
He thought it was the ankle bracelet, like an electronic monitoring device strapped around the ankle to track an offender's location and movement in compliance with court-mandated restrictions as an alternative to jail time or house arrest.
Should I just use the term "anklet" instead? 🤔
I heard my son talking on his phone with my daughter. They're talking about the basketball tournament last night. The Knicks won, I heard.
Both of them are rooting for the same New York team.
By the way, they constantly have lunch dates via video call.
It's an exclusive sibling-only kind of thing.
I baked a cake with lots of blueberries in it, and I offered a slice to Jay.
"Unsa man ni?" (What is this?)
"Emancipation Breakfast Cake," I answered.
"Di ba brek-fast na pagka sulti?" (Isn't it pronounced as brek-fast?)
"Giunsa man diay pagsulti ang akoa?" (How did I say it?)
"Breyk-fast!"
So I checked and...
OMG! He's so right!
I've been pronouncing it wrong all this time.
Breakfast is /ˈbrek.fəst/!
