| SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | MAY 2024 | | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | MAY 2024 | 67 67 If I have to rely on the omas Guide Store to get me through California and my surroundings I am in trouble. I am so fortunate to have Siri to my rescue. She can get me anyplace. Ruth R. You will see only women in this store, men never ask for directions. Emily P. As Archie and Edith Bunker sang, "ose were the days." Victor G. e omas Guide was always happy to 'tell you where to go' and a lot quieter than the GPS! Jeanne V. I sorely miss my omas Guide - wish I'd kept it. So many L.A. neighborhoods mentioned in the news that are new to me. How places change in 33 years. Barbara C. What a great racket the omas Guide had going. You had to buy a new one EVERY YEAR if you lived in a growing city. Scott J. At first I missed it but then noticed it's just out of place. It's always fun to locate the joke. Keep up the good work. Ron S. your comments: GET THE JOKE! I found the joke! Resident name (first & last): ______________________________________ This was the joke: _____________________________________________ Comments (we LOVE your notes - about anything!): ____________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ Send your entry to sunlakesnews@yahoo.com or drop it at the Main Clubhouse Last month's joke: Now back to the Get the Joke stuff: To win a free dinner, find the ad, article or just weird, out-of-place, completely made-up (and hopefully funny) item in this month's Lifestyles.

If you are the first correct guess chosen at random, you will win a free dinner. Congratulations to this month's Dinner Winner: THOMAS JONES Please call Monica in the Admin. Office for your Sun Lakes Restaurant dinner. From Courtney, the publisher: Let's all agree. Wouldn't that make for a better, more efficient world? No more fighting. No more strife. Let's start with the world, or, more specifically, the globe. I have family who live in Julian, Ca. It's south of here in the mountains at an altitude of about 7,000 ft. So when I go there, I'm technically driving up. But if you look at the globe (not one with the bumps), I'm going down. So, let's all agree: Globe standards for explaining direction. If you're making the trek to the deep, cavernous depths of the Grand Canyon and you're leaving for the trip from San Diego, you're going up. Next, red and green are excellent colors that look good together but Christmas is hogging them. I can't wear a red shirt and green pants in May. Let's reclaim red and green. Christmas already has September through December. That's enough. Next, dogs. I'm a night girl and when I wake up, usually after 8 am, it takes me two hours to be in a good mood. I think dogs should not start barking at 7:17 am. Because when one starts, they all chime in and soon my chances of a good mood are shot until noon. So let's all agree no dogs barking before 8 am. They can, however, bark until midnight; I'm usually awake. Next, let's all agree that licorice is gross. Sure, some people like it. But I don't like it and I'd appreciate if we could all agree it's gross. Next, let's all agree that gas should be no more than $1 a gallon. And there should be no checked-bag fees. Let's all agree that jokes we don't find funny are offensive. Let's all agree that anyone who thinks differently from us is wrong. Let's all agree with me. It is, after all, an election year. Or maybe we can all just agree to disagree, that down is up, that wearing black is always in, licorice is fine, and things cost what they cost. But, seriously, let's all agree that dogs barking before 8 am is just wrong. (In case my message was too subtle, let's all agree that disagreeing is okay. Let's meet in the Lounge after the renovation and enjoy a drink and some music together. And if we can't stand to disagree, let's agree to not talk politics, religion, snack foods, or geography.) English-phrasing conundrums: If something is blurry, is it tinct? If you're happy, are you traught - or mayed? Stop me before I pull out the Random House dictionary. As always, many thanks for your great work. Barbara C. When you estimate correctly, you're "in the ballpark" … Are you "out of the ballpark" when you're wrong? Laurie W.
