The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Just curious, what state do you live in?

Well, perhaps some of the ‘old timers’ from the Fool recall me posting about my beginnings
being born and raised in the Heart of Manhattan living in the Tenement buildings on the edge of Harlem. No need to go into detail what it was like for this blue eyed blond little girl learned how to fight off the nasty boys who thought I was an easy mark or always being aware of the perverts and what I should do o avoid a situation or not allowed to go upstairs to my apt on the 5th floor alone,
I had to ring the buzzer and wait for mom or dad or big brother to come down and escort me up to our apt.
When living in Manhattan got bad enough and my folks were able to move out of the city, we ended
up living in the state of Wisconsin and I have lived here ever since.

I’ve come a long ways baby....from tenement buildings to a prosperous life in Wisconsin.
