An old woman goes to the bank and asks the teller if she can withdraw $10. The teller says she has to use to the ATM and points over there.

The old lady has never used one and just wants $10. Again the teller says she cant help her.

So the old lady says ok then Id like to close my account and have all my money given to me.

the teller says ok and checks the old lady's account and sees she has $1,000,000. Mame! she says. You dont want to withdraw all of this do you.

The old lady says yes.

So the teller gives her her money. The old lady then asks if she can make a deposit in a new account. Of course says the teller!

So the old lady writes a check for $999,990 and ask for a her change.

Never mess with an old person.....thats the story...I like it even though its bullshit .

Watching the finale of Enterprise.

Riker, walking down the deserted Enterprise corridor on the holodeck:

"Computer! Add appropriate crew complement, objective mode."

Alexa:

"Added 'appropriate fruit complement, objective mode' to shopping list."

You can select from “Alexa,” “Amazon,” “Echo,” and “Computer.”

This year, Amazon has increased its Echo wake words by two: Ziggy and Hey, Disney, which Amazon announced at its big event on Sept. 28.

All other plants we got died. So figured a cactus might live. We were right. Both her's and mine are still alive. We each got different types thinking one may make it lol. Anyways they have not changed in 10 years..not grown...and they stopped blooming. Frankly they have started looking a bit off. Im sure the pots are both too little for them and the soil is empty of nutrients.

So for months Ive planned to get a bigger pot and some cactus mix soil and replant them together in one bigger pot. I was finally able to buy this stuff Friday. Today Im thinking of changing them but suddenly Im looking at them and I have no idea how Im going to actually move them and not hurt myself lol. One has bigger thorns which makes it easier but the other are tiny thorns and many of them. Im thinking of using my thick leather work gloves but Im worried they'll stick in them and Ill have to throw them away cause those little hair like ones will work their way through them and into my fingers.

my granny scared me as a kid when I got some in my hand and she said they'd work their way to your bones...thanks granny.
